Short Jade Green Poems

A jade green eye winks...

A tear spills down a soft cheek.

Jade Green Flourishes
          
                 Lightening Storm Summers

                                       Mangroves cool the coast...

golden bee humming
lost in foliage jade green
where are the flowers

have you flown too far
long miles from the honeycomb
wherefore did you roam

you will find your way
back to the fields of colors
beyond deep green woods...

Blackened suns float in deep skys
Setting on encrypt amber sands 
Burning on jade green seas
As far as golden halos glow
Warming sanity’s sandy shores
Reflecting on sapphire horizons, cold
Black suns set upon the infinite seams
Of a land washed in an infernal breeze 
We die upon these crystal seas!...

A bright white square
Inside a jade green box
Glows with an eerie glow
Calming those that stare at it
A harmonious color
Deep within its screen
Leaving a feeling of peace
Inside the core of the green box
Enjoy the luminous glow
The bright white square
Creates the calm glow
Peaceful and mild
Wonderful
Glowing
Green
Box

Walked over to the local tea shop 
and had a blueberry and a jade green tea 
The owner and his wife - a nurse(!)
were there 
The owner has some of my poetry chapbooks
I traded the last one for a cup of green tea and a 
blueberry muffin  - a profit of $2.00
Sent out a poem - in English 
to the anthology again 
Started an article on the life of Longfellow 
$50 if I get it published...

I sit in the beer garden
Not because I wanted a drink
Or because it was a nice day
But because I wanted to see her
I didn’t know her name
I just knew her as the cute red head
The girl with the open smiling face
And the full bountiful lips 
Jade green eyes, and of course the red hair
I’m really rather sad
To come to the same ghastly pub,
To drink luke warm beer each day
Just for a glimpse of an angel...

Beloved Feline

Like a faux fur cape you lie,
Splayed out over your mountain top,
the couch, on high.
A frigid winter dawn peers through
the window,
And ever so slowly, one jade green eye 
opens.
Studying a frozen branch that moves.
Oh, heavenly calico,how wise you are!
With zero interest in the news, 
Waiting only for the beauty of nighttime,
And the glory of the stars' hues.

Panagiota Romios

I took a trip in my mind today,
Astonished by what I found,
You only weighed a pound,
All of you were at play.
I wanted to stay,
But I was bound,
Standing on my ground!
I tumbled where you lay.
The grass was jade green,
And the sky was baby blue,
A vision I’d never seen,
I stood there looking at you.
Smiles and laughter filled the air,
It was a lost paradise where all was fair.

Snow drifts  buoyant on the breeze downy  
like a dandelion seed touching the cheek of dawn delicately...
Endless crystalline patterns of white grace     
each hollow, cleft and limb formed in rose pink light..

Upon cold surfaces   of glass  or stone, snow glances   
Up on the warmer growths of somnambulant grass it clings 
a fusion of facets, a light Spring feeding for rising daffodils 
each jade green spear engulfed in a pocket of white......

In the midst of hubbub, at the verge of one hectic June,
I see myriad diamond stars, and ruby sun under the moon,
As viewed from a planet of jade green with sapphire blue,
Covered by pearly clouds, vanishing in moon's silver hue!

But I am only dreaming, for it is the middle of the day,
And from sunshine I have wandered, into night's doorway,
And the golden sun has set behind the scenes in my mind,
Only to reemerge as I wake, leaving night's riches behind!...

Out of all the amazing beings 
In this infinite universe 
My soul called out to yours 
Ready to immerse

A strangely familiar feeling 
That's something I'll have to get use to 
A once in a lifetime love 
My eternal déjà vu 

I see visions of our destiny 
In your jade green eyes
It lucidly paints our forever home 
Surrounded by blue skies 

This all could be said in fewer words 
Or a simpler way to say 
That your soul ignites a fire inside me 
That only poetry can convey...

Juicy, ripe cherries, still on the jade green trees,
In vibrant, orange sunshine, glinting at summer.
Blackberries winking, saffron noon hour of ease,
When rose strewn seconds, seem lost in slumber.

Fragrant, purple plums gleam hotly, very coveted,
Lustrous, wild raspberries, deeply red and purple,
Ruby red apples aglow, like fiery sun plummeted,
Until all are lost in darkness, 'neath stars eternal.
