Short Madrigal Poems

The madrigal in my eyes
Unsung by the lips
Touches your mind
And vibrates your heart....

A madrigal
  a parable
for our lives

drama
  animated
costumes
  sophisticated
chorus
  elevated

love
  dreamed about
  giggled about
  wept about
    nothing done about...

A working river;
no madrigal
no moodwater
no moondive.

A vicious cut through stone
past deer and belief
curves with pebbles
rope and stone.

An audience of trees
watch hands and salt form
bends of hard grass
and wild mint.

When I am considered lost
you pull at my sleeve,
slow with dark water,
alone and old, but safe....

Listen to poem:

Magical madrigal mystical minstrels making melodies

Radical refrains remaining retaining righteous remedies

Virginal virtuous vibrational verses voicing victories

Harmonical heavenly healing helping heroical histories

I perch on a rock
by white teal-roofed bungalows,
resting after my journey.
Autumn's early bloom
is a choir of falling leaves
by a quiet rippling stream.

The silence deafens
as bright notes waft like snowflakes
to earth in Fall's madrigal.
I, a songless bird,
rejoice in observation.
The rippling stream chimes for me....

felon fingers fiddling
fostering rustic rhythm
saucy instrument puking
mystic madrigal moaning
airy atmosphere seconding
pruning pulsing feelings

punctured pleasure littered
in atmosphere shattered
hoisted happiness battered

coda crushed crest;
mystic melody melts
at desire's death

Yucks! fingers again
revived rotten refrain.

A trio of warblers jargon
a madrigal in harmony.
Their polyphony awakens
a slumbering dawn from darkness
while white dewy daffodils, like
saintly daughters of charity,
bow before the paragon sun.
A gentle zephyr diffuses
its collection of fragrances
from the myriad wildflowers
it encountered on its journey
eastward; sojourning, perfuming,
impregnating the morning air
with its sweet, volatile essence....

Away with the Fairies

I have been away with the Fairies,
They are very good friends of mine.
Quality time in the land of wonder,
Where everything is Rosy and fine.

I love being away with the Fairies,
Reality becomes just a bad dream.
An escape to sublime contradiction,
An illusion on a madrigal theme.

If you ever leave with the Fairies,
In a puff of pure magical dust,
Stay with them a while if you can,
An adventure with Fairies you can trust....

Her feet knows the path
Seeing amongst stones
Curled, the grass wet swathe
And stars dry as bones

Into night she walks
Head laden, heart spilled
Her prices for stalks
Less than she is billed

For mulch and tilling 
And the clouds too dry
Cost her more spending
The land makes her sigh

But the cycle keeps
In the wind she talks
And murmur-less sleeps
The toad neath the balks

The fog unwinds day
A barren tree shed
Leaves where children play
The sun on their head....

You need keep door open'd to love 
Forgive past hurts,reach from above 
Measure to His Word,God is love. 

You need keep door open'd to life 
At times get rid of your strife 
His pure love is larger than life 

Just don't give up on life but climb 
God mercifully watches all time. 

Your heart to love just keep open 
Have faith!Believe!God past hurts mends.
