In orange yellow cracks..
Swept and red tale's tilting 
Through times, bronzed quills
Poetry seasons fables lore; vieta....

But ispite of my true and pure love,
Today I have countless reasons to

Winter 
Out there
Again 

Cold hearts
Rulers
Setting hearts
Afire

Cold out there
Night rules
The sun

And 
dark 
You must rest
Caged birds sing...

Hot passion ties hearts in tight knots
Its heat roasts with thousands of watts
Instead of the norm
Drop this love and feel warm
Consumed with lust for chocolàtes...

With that sparkle in your eyes
 I'm always in a reprise.
  Your countenance being so chaste.
I could never look away...
 And always want to stay.
  For you're so angel faced....

Mid-morning waking
  Merrymaking
Mixed drink shaking
  The holidays baking...

Cheerful leave-takings
   'Stay-in-touches' making
Happy bones aching
  Joyous yearly undertaking...

Dark reprise,
Empty lies,
Blinking in skies,
Twinkle surprise.
Aliens arise,
Up in skies,
Glitter flies,
Mating cries,
Warning prize,
Say goodbyes.
To fire flies,
Flowing rise,
They say goodbyes....

sitting on the porch
surrounded by sun and blooms
watching life go by

lemonade and song
a concert in azure skies
the daily reprise

it's a perfect hour
as honeybees quest for gold
in the mellow days...

In this Winter



Cold snow
freezes 
melts
soaks ground
grounds soaked
take impressions
of me
before the freeze
a reprise
when hardened footprints
show the path taken
on a winter day
spring awaits....

As she looked back through the truck glass
At the swing blown by the brisk breeze
In her small heart formed a crevasse
Did it heal or only reprise
Building 'til it became a trespass    ...

Decrescendo
into daylight -
eyes open to
fragmented dreams,
sunlight,
morning coffee,
and today's feature story.
Nylons and high-heels
out the door,
the subway waits.

    Loud fanfare

    Till
    Autumn

To adjudge, 'tis having promise from a pout-

        inviting what for two shall improvise
 
whence having been this near, I can without,
 
not kiss you more without due compromise,

though tempting does it offer much reprise....

Spring is here, a great a reprise.

A gentle flower-scented breeze.

     Robins sing in roundelay.

     Flowers bloom in full array.

The buds are bursting on the trees!

clouds that cover once starry skies
mountain breezes whisper your name
desire that burns a heated reprise
like a blanket that envelops me

a lovers touch, a lovers words
speaking softly in my ear
with moistened lips, passion stirs
in the tallowed light...

life turns tables if not the tide ~ helps to bail death out over the side 

  when all life sinks death itself dies ~ quanta pours back in to fill the void 

    just to be clear what this implies ~ a universe needs death to reprise

Daylight Harmony
Miracle Man
9/4/2024

A morning zephyr whispers softly to our chimes,
the arrangement they reprise, I’ve heard before.
But that was former days, and unforgotten times,
The softness of our chimes voice’s I can’t ignore.

The world that sets aside its halcyon days
will not reprise
the time we seized our genitals
for one audacious drama starring two,
will not recall the lightning strike
that instituted sacrament
to mark an end and set eternal fire
upon a new creation,
you and I.

Designated driver,
your road to end at last

The choice was yours, mistake inured,
your future now your past

Designated driver,
those high beams in your eyes

A haunting name, the lasting blame
—that night your dreams reprise
