Shadow

once I met a shadow
who wasn't really there
I listened to the whispers
that lilted on the breeze
I fell in love with a love song
a tune to which I danced
once I met a shadow
that vanished in thin air

44. 
Personality commodities
Melting into bar stools
Progress beyond God
to make the ultimate partnership.

Profits will come less belligerently 
When lovers sing praises in lilted voices.
off tune liquors pour needlessly
down the throats of the well fed.
Meager brotherhood looked at me 
With a dirty f

A March Poem

Your lilted yawns 
And the ends of your hair
Like the curled tails of prawns
Freckles on your face
Like the dappled fur of fawns
I'm the luckiest I've ever been 
Lying in your arms
As if you were
A four-leaf clovered lawn
Every time I see you 
It's like the first sight of dawn
After long and restless struggle
I am met with easing calm

Savage Poets

Lacerated tongue, lilted symbolism
Hearts wrenched in pain
Fever eclipsed, words remain
Darting in the dead of night

Some flat, some bubbling
Bitter, bled, absorbing, churning
Never accepting the day's images
Exactly as they sit

In careful wording, a poet's mind exhibits
Transformation of common currency
Full of grace, full of venom
Seeping where other talk just explains

Premium Member A Whisper of Spring

 I heard the springtime coming
 in the whisper of the breeze
 I saw the skies were changing
 and it put my soul at ease

 I felt the temps as they rose
 and saw some blooms peek through
 In the meadow, a melody flows
 as birdsongs celebrate the new

 The fragrance of the lilac,
 how it lilted on the breeze
 as daffodils dance to springtime's rhythm track
The flutter of the butterfly, a ballet if you please

PICTURE THIS MOON LIGHT EMBRACE

silhouette on bay
standing on the docks
we embrace
kissing
couple not afraid
to show their love anywhere...
standing kissing
under the moonlight glittering
moonshine showing our love
birds flying east
as we passionately embrace
looking in each others face
we embrace, kiss
lilted lanterns light up the pier
still embracing and holding you
kiss me in front of the moon
Moon light Embrace
