    a quick, punctuated rage is her leitmotif....

The sweetest part of loving...

A hint of sugar
Bringing summer to my mind
She’s sometimes apple
More often orange

magnificent sky
matching red leaves are falling
colorful autumn

refreshingly brisk
the wind sends the leaves soaring
loveliness dying...

Altruistically hedonistic
Your love flow
Is specific
Monosyllabic and rustic
Your reliability excites me
It’s refreshingly different
I’m enjoying my life
In this upright position...

             the brush of your fingertips...

                               against my soft skin

Every generation thinks it's better than the previous one
   Smarter, faster, better-educated, more creative

What would be something refreshingly new under the sun
   ~ The next one admitting it's mostly imitative...

Poetry is exposing – 
little of us remaining
hidden after each write;
though future subjects
will differ, honesty
transcends all titles...

the language of spirit
leaving one totally bare,
while refreshingly 
unearthed.......

Shared dreams
A mystical anomaly
Or heavenly known?

Nightly slumber
Un-replicated, 
Refreshingly mysterious

Star journey
Shaky landing 
Upon reentry

Shared dreams
Blissfully unaware
Goals known

Astral travels
Reviving soul
Nightly...

This day soars, refreshingly 
Floating in umber modesty
Mewling boisterously, in jollity 
While, harvest colors blink 
Tragically in shades of pink 
Afternoon progresses in happiness
From there on, the evening moon 
Shines in bright, yellow incandesce
As nightfall settles over sky festoon...

That same soulful song 
you crooned just before
closing time last night,

it lingered long in my head,
soothed my worried mind
and tucked into sleep's
warm feather bed

... my wounded heart.


You know how to make
that old tune sound
refreshingly new.

Songstress, your spell
made me believe happily
that, in this uncaring crowd
you cared and sang

... for only me.

That same sweet song 
you crooned just before 
closing time last night,

it lingered long in my head,
soothed my worried mind,
and tucked into sleep's
warm feather bed

..my wounded heart.

You've got a way of making 
that old tune sound 
so refreshingly new,

and a loving songstress' spell
making me believe happily
that, amid this uncaring crowd, 
you care and sing

..for only me....

I had the best life
As lazy or as busy as I wanted
As pink or red as I wanted it
A cinnamon hot life

Yet refreshingly cool 
With certain appreciative skies
A protected life

Surrounded by many who
Felt special about me
Revealing my confetti self
When I felt 
Nurtured

Hiding her deeply and 
Carefully among dainty 
White violets
Under sturdy 
Walnuts and oaks
When things scared me

I had the best life...

The night knocked me out of
  my sensibilities,
The morning woke me up,
With a longing for 
My spice,
The dew of the morning
Refreshingly assuring,
My love.

The aroma of your fragrance
  beguiling,
Giving my life full meaning
My spice
My smell buds horned as an
  ally
To my one and only
Old spice.

My old faithful,
  the smell of your fragrance s
Quicken my smell buds
My spice of familiar terrain,
The love of my youth....

There sitting on the coffee table
looking all so very pure and clear
cool and refreshing super liquid
does far more good than any beer

What exactly does this describe?
it's something that does you good
giving your inside to be clean
attracted whatever your mood

A glass of water
so refreshingly bright
such clearness like glass
mouth watering awesome sight

Really so simple a picture
one that's all together sublime
richness of fullest pleasure
have a drink at any time...

The air is cool, not cold,
and refreshingly light
with the sweet scent of Spring.

Spring's stay is oft fleeting,
and so I am hoping
that this visit will last.

Songbirds begin to chirp;
a dull sun starts shining
and butterflies take wing.

Winter's a memory
of frozen yesterdays;
time has placed in the past.

Green saturates the scene
creating a canvas
out of Winter squalor.

And Spring showers nourish;
rejuvenating life
with brush strokes of color....
