Short Mistrals Poems

Melodies of the mistrals,
Finger and the cuts,
Were fancy so fancy,
Keying the right notes.
Costumes of the dead,
Scrape and moan,
Against their lonely piano,
Singing and ringing their bells.
Seventy songs lay in a row,
Of choosing which to play,
The rhyme of the chime,
Of playing night to day....

Lost in a labyrinth of
Glistening sights
Infinitely out of reach,
Trembling amidst sweeping mistrals, 
Fabricating a life of nostalgic allusions,
Caught in lapsed reveries, of 
Restless arias and faint rustlings
Sequestering my rampant aura,
Bleeding in russet naivety, 
Evaporating in silent elegies....

as swans slide across lakes - sunset rays sway to autumnal reveries

ambling across swirling helix - of deadened cinnamon foliage 

mocking greenery framing skeletal bones - of lifeless roots crackling 

the warmth of your deep saffron gold aura - harvests the depth of our love

eclipsing rippling mistrals - simmering amidst auburn horizons...

wild autumn

hot ten day heat wave
 hydrangeas wilt in the shade ~
  steamy heat at night

mistrals fan embers
 rises up to spread white fire ~
  dry grasslands shutter

up from churning seas
 hurricane force rain floods plains ~
  cactus bloom too soon

Over the past two weeks we have had a heat wave, seen wildfires start and had Hurricane Kay bring flooding....

Braving storms, push and pull piercing my 
Parched soul, while glazed in flaxen mists
Framing lingering dew drops 
Consoling my warped core, 
As I drift amidst 
Sweeping mistrals 
Calling me 
To the 
Blue 
Glow 
Of our
Ocean home,
Swaying to tides
Eclipsed by sundered
Coral sighs glistening 
Upon glossed ripples bleeding  
Devout love encompassing my 
Frigid heart, seeking the warmth of you....

spring songs 

eerie storm warnings
 mistrals turn new leaves silver ~
  baby eaglets hatch

banshee ballads rise
 ice frosted meadows shiver ~
  pineapple express

rain hums sad lyrics
 in mantras of humid breaths  ~
  sleepy snowdrops wake

plaintive wind oboes
 pensive gusts of sad flute songs ~
  raindrops pound downbeats 

spring songs come in waves
 misty descants of plainchant ~
  parched earth drinks deeply
