 Refracting morn's light
Aurora Borealis
Beauty touched spirit
Sunrays pierce trees through forest
Moment captured forever

Stars hide their faces
behind the fluffy white cloud
just an odd twinkle

Moonshine beams dancing
causing flickering shadows
that dance joyously

Sunbeams hit the water
refracting and enhancing
the crystal river...

each touch friction
as two objects rub
with ego assigning meaning
refracting light pristine white

unvoiced emotes
ink the vast void
which acknowledges our gifts
manifesting sunshine and rain

May the eyes of truth
always pierce your heart
refracting like an ancient prism
reflecting the beauty of your soul
may moon bathed velvet nights
intoxicate you with sensual promise
may eyes soft and deep
always tell what you feel inside...

light 
                             bending and refracting 
paints the cosmos

moon dances
                             casting shadows

                             as the universe bends...

Crystalline baubles
tumbling down from winter clouds
tossed by unseen hands.

Precipitation?
No, more magical than that;
perhaps Gods game dice?

No, they’re white diamonds
refracting rays of sunlight
translucent snowflakes.

Intoxicate you with sensual promise

Always tell what you feel inside...

Light;
a celestial dancer,   
pirouettes;
bending and refracting,
at the crossroads
of fantasy and reality.

Weaver
of constellations,
light summons dawn's blush
where miracles bloom;
while darkness departs
at its behest;
yielding to its will....

          twisting fate 
     in cosmic alchemy 
   the universe yielding

in negative temperature
on whitened branch
refracting winter's dark
inversing frosted blanch

pitch to mirrored pool
of symmetry below
in opposite of dual - 
serene in its afterglow

Drops on anthracite curls
Are glistening and slipping off.
A light breeze craves a touch
And cautiously blows on them.
But you, indifferently, don't even play with heir . 
The sun sank lower 
And by refracting the rays,
It lit you up like gold coins.
Well I, nearby froze as a brass, 
Take me as the many of amulets....

she wore the most beautiful pearls 


she 
wore black
in the night
the times i saw
her. black pearls dancing, 
singing song in her ears 
and heart so radiant her 
color to look. like black pupils 
looking through purple tint contact lens,
refracting shine from sunny seas and shores.

from the singularity point 
hum of innate aliveness
incessantly processes
creative expression 
for which duality
is the template
to manifest
a rhythm
in space time
where polarities 
orbit heart’s intent
prismatically refracting
light as bliss beats delight
shimmering awhile in the void
imprinting therein a unique emote...

Treasures in the dark

We are like treasures in a dark and lonely place, 
refracting his light,
For all to see,

Like in an open treasure chest we sparkle,
never wishing to go dim, made dirty with all my pain and sin.

Instead we are treasures of his wonderful design, individual,
like a fingerprint, 
that can not be copied....

Warm damp hair
Dew drops hang from loose curls;
Refracting rays of golden summer
Dance across a placid surface

Enveloping cool caressing currents
As bronzed arms pump and glide
Buoyant form sluicing toward the dock

Trickling water runs down my back
As I stretch up to kiss
Your warm damp hair
As your body shimmers,
In refracting rays of golden summer...

Sinking through wispy clouds
On wings of amethyst 
I design the sky
Refracting light to royal poise
Essence of purple blankets the sky

I take perch in a crystal prism
Resting on the end of the spectrum 
Eminent land 
No salacious rumors to be discerned 
Void of transgressions

Here, I shall make stead
Periodically withdrawing to illuminate mortal sky
My grandeur, I shall share to all...

All objects recognised as one
Likewise for form from the worm to the sun
Being a reflection
Of the one creation
Just as there is one light
Prismatically refracting for our delight

In this definitive realisation we abide
In contemplative stillness reside
Until thoughts are still
Clear & distilled
That our awareness is omnipresent 
Momentary delusion making us insentient

A vision high and so enchanting
Of sunlight off rainbow slanting
Minuscule droplets rays refracting
Light expanding and retracting

Through prism lens colors bending
To form a rainbow spectrum blending
A never-ending arch of wonder
Beginning at the end of thunder

A warm and ethereal hue 
The world awash in colors new
Of bright, fresh tones in shades of green
And picture perfect sky serene...

The bottles sat, empty, clean,
timelessly transparent upon the purity
of a chalk walkway;
antiquated memories 
of morning milkmen linger.

The hollow hourglass shapes 
lacking the grains of time,
reflecting, and refracting lemon light
dollops of cream, buttermilk dreams.

Devon Red herds await 
the bottles empty state,
to fill with froth, to zing tin pails,
to drowse to the lilt of a milkmaids’ aire....
