soaks dead eyelids with color...

But leads the way home....

   let there be a burning night
   for us to fall asleep together...

Summer
The days lengthen
Daylight saving more time
Sun's rays poaching the earth's dry crust
Dog Days...

Empty room, cold light, 
Shadows lengthen, silent walls, 
Heart's soft, fading beat.

The tips of the fingers, His
Gentle on shoulders, Hers
You who lengthen toward heaven,Him
Standing tall on green, She.

When shadows lengthen and all seems lost,
And reason whispers, "Do count the cost,"
A fragile ember is fiercely tossed,
Yet hope remains whatever the frost.

Afternoon shadows lengthen too early
  Days shrink away into night's sultry grip
Which restrains cheerful morning from welcoming
  Us back to life, and the pursuit of fleeting pleasures...

Listen to poem:

It's all go to woe!
Besides, there's no woe betides!
As reigns let loose, 
the strides lengthen
and we say: 
"neigh, nay, nay" to "Whoa Up"
It's giddy giddy, G'day! 
Let's go! 
"Giddy up, Giddy up"!...

shadows lengthen
chestnuts roast-
winter bides

catkins murmur
easter eggs-
spring tides

bluebells chime
wasps picnic-
summer stays

flower presses
fruit preserves-
autumn frays

There is beauty in the dying of the day
where shadows lengthen in the dusk
waters ripple with enchanted hush
as twilight chases the sunlight away.

Long live ours
but the error is yours
and we were like love flower
though forgiveness is power
Sweet before ,now the taste is sour
together not for an hour
I thought this love can be strengthen
no it can't be lengthen ....

Stay tuned – the ‘cheki, cheki, remix!’
Will return
The lost souls of war
Will lengthen

The fake drama will unravel
And continue
The discovery of global warming,
Coming up

Stay tuned-and the birds will twerp
Waiting for your clouding weep...

haiku seasons
frozen in epigrams 
tripping from a pen

shadows lengthen
chestnuts roast-
winter bides

catkins murmur
easter eggs-
spring tides

bluebells chime
wasps picnic-
summer stays

flower presses
fruit preserves-
autumn frays...

Dawn
sunrise
daylight breaks
the sun beams down
colours set ablaze
shadows slowly lengthen
now the sun begins to set
dusk now rules over the earth
shyly the moon peeks out
starlight brightens all
twinkling silver
in the sky
darkness
fades...

Watching the sunlight shatter
and regroup to sliver again
in refractory bliss across the bay
evening shadows lengthen
and the kaleidoscope pixies
play across my eyes
while the silent hiss of suns' set
under rose and lavender skies
etches my life....

These shadows lengthen evening,
virescent and plum in that certain solemnity.

Do not think twice about the unthinkable,
it is a slow slide to an uneasy finish.

That certain order of the oleander is never clear,
it is not death, but life we fear....

Shadows lengthen eastward
Undulating and shimmering
Now leaning toward
Dusk fast approaching
Offering no extended hours
Where shadows may linger
Now from nightfall until dawn

How quiet are the closing moments
of Winter

Its final lingering shadow
passing over your regret

Days lengthen into night,
returning Blackbirds a good tiding

What ended in shades of red and brown
—beginning once again

Tick Toc
The clock turning
Round , round without ceasing
Blow your horn in celebration
For time passes and the shadows lengthen
So dance and sing in the moonlight
Laugh, time is the jester
Another day

As days become short,
  the more precious each hour becomes

Memories lengthen,
  to stretch like the rays of the sun

Time is unfolded,
  its layers unmasked to expose

This moment transcendent
 —the past and future deposed

Songs
Lyrics
Melodies
Listen to the 
Wind
Blowing
And the waves
At the ocean
Shore
Land's End
All rivers
Flowing into
Clouds
Drifting
In the sky
Sunset colors
Fall
Maples
In the cold
While nights lengthen
Dreams
Of peace
Of the past
Of the future

The poet in me
misses
The poet in you
Mountains look colder
The sky darkens
with your eyes
Another day I lost
In the converging confines
All the ordinary
engulfs
Even as I searched
Even as you searched
for changes
Shadows lengthen
And travel around you
You travel in me...
