sun-kissed giant mounds
sweltering heat drapes the air
hill pigments turn brown

Soak in turpentine,
and,
in time,
it binds
the pigments painted.

Clean gleam,
and the color scheme:
redeemed....

stark
     patterns
blots,
   pigments,
brief    
      notations
on repeat:
sitting

    circle of
        light,
a little

passionate easel
       hues of calico embrace-
instant connection
with pigments of devotion-
           portrait of painted moments...

Was the sun the catalyst
For altered pigments
Narrowed eyes

Genetics
Moving through the cycles
Of nature’s perfection

The moon a silence
Rocking us all to sleep

Observable fire flashes
Oceanic at times
Opaque reflective flair
Ocher pigments inside
Openhandedly gave
Opulent fashioned ring
Offering it with heart     ...

In autumn, leaves show their true colors; personalities from God’s palette.

Yellow, gold, red, browns and Vandyke orange; pigments bold.

I press them in a book for deco-paging; natures art!

Love this color show
as autumn trees shed their leaves,
green foliage turns to
bright yellow,orange and red
caused by pigments reflections.

I melt into the colors
blending into pigments bold
i sense the light within them
bursting azure skies

the ecstasy of colors
in sunlight’s golden fingers
depicts a wondrous palette
nature’s art transforms.

Twilight without absent of blackness and no light, does it make your night sunrise does it make it daylight absence, a pigment doesn't make it dark jaundice of light doesn't make it bright~

Her brushes and pigments,
the canvas stretched and primed;
a tentative first stroke –
what she really needs is

focus of the keen eye.
Focus of the keen eye

is fox, slipping from edge
to shadow, gone behind
the screen. Look inside for
that wildness just half-seen....

Shades of yellow
Colors of pink 
Hues of purple
The sky's wink

Warmth on my skin
Sparkle in my eyes
My pigments singing
As the sky smiles wide

The sky gives a wink
And smiles miles wide
As time goes by it will sink
But first let the sun rise

foliage display--
green turns to brilliant yellow
as autumn breeze blows

babies born
named Russel and Roux as the fall--
red maples bloom

shedding of leaves--
as leave pigments reflect sunlight
bright colors produced

Does your secret life
define you
An image
not portrayed
Brush strokes darkened
pigments dyed 
Your life force
oft betrayed  

Do the secrets
keep you prisoner
Are the bars
each choice you make
The key to freedom
lost and gone
Alone with your
— mistakes

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)

Listen to poem:

drifting waters
abridging
drenched
pigments
of my memory
whimsically
scatter
homebound
the dyes
staining the
cold pressed
arches
of
my mind's
canvas

Structural bones uphold this canvas
A compositional portrait & sketch

Blue lines scroll pigments of rosy nude
With aesthetically pleasing facial cues

Freckles splatter the Irish genetics
While draped in feminine cloths of color

Hair is a red-dyed straight ponytail
Adorning features complete with silver...

In the stillness of a photograph,
I found life, moving in light speed,
Shooting the very nerve that bears
Every bit of sense that there is in me.
It has always been 
the pigments of your photograph,
That touches the sky before the sun,
The shore before the sea,
The pages before the words,
And my heart before me....

Sing me a picture
Paint me a song
With shades and hues of verse

Pale pastels for lyrics
To color your words
In shapes and patterns diverse

Sing me a picture
Paint me a song
Dark pigments to accent the prose

I will bask in it's beauty
While it's story I hear
Just for me a portrait compose...

Atop a cold breeze,
Jack Frost inks the trees.
etching pigments on each leaf;
orange, gold, and red,
decorate the dead;
in colors beyond belief.

It's silent at dawn;
the songbirds have gone.
Painted leaves litter the ground
swirling in the air,
falling everywhere;
like confetti tossed around....

 Just a splash of color
on a rotting stump;
golden waves of pigment
spread on a brown canvas.

Orange spatters intermingle
with yellow polka-dots
and the newborn smiles
highlighting the essence.

Happiness is a blossom
of pigments in nature;
a time-lapse painting,
lightening the heart.
