sweet sound of cow bells 

branches shaking leaves
milk residue on oak's lips
cow bells are ringing

free from thought, we dwell in the now
poised in peace, vibrant and aglow
we flow but leave no residue
for life’s but a dream, this we know

Premium Member After

After

as blanched I lay 
chambers emptied,
pump drained
sinew reduced to
flaccid residue,

am I soul?

Premium Member The shape of yesterday

Wispy lines and gentle corners
a trail of haziness over my shoulder ~
kindness and forgiveness leave their residue

Silent Movies Fade Away

Silent movies from the past,
Quickly lose their tight grasp,
Seasons shake the residue,
Watch how change
makes all things new.

no desire
no anticipation
no rear view mirror

the past erased
future the vast void
vibrancy here and now

breath that leaves no residue

Premium Member Infinite

Infinite reasons
why I come back to you--
seek you
in the residue
of the moment;
forever
in the little left
you are found
abundant
restoring my dimensions.

Premium Member Yesterday's Residue-Ku Duet

as dawn draws nigh~yesterday's residue,
linger on the fingertips
in twilight hour~ one graspes, for something
that can't be held, father time

Premium Member Unfulfilled Desire

if there be
no residue
the moment gone by
ceases to exist 
for memory too recalls
longing, regret, remorse
seeking a replay, encore
in a different hue 
in another time and form

winners and losers

shifting

the soup of gravy
poured into a shifter 
the residue 
is thrown away
if we assume the sifted
is a soup
we shall not know
if the lumps 
in the sifter is the truth
no one
wanted to hear

Premium Member Silent Musings

how gentle our touch
and blissful can heart be
if we feel not God within
each and every form we see

if there yet throbs within
any trace of feral residue
does it not then darken
luminosity of soul’s auric hue
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Zen Mode

tasks that need attention
we embrace and release
as flow of life so dictates
erasing it from our focus 
leaving behind no residue
that pristinity of the now
reveals its wondrous hues
to delight our childlike heart

Premium Member Prose Poetry Pollock

Spontaneity drips involuntary &yet deliberate from above.Joyous expression of inhibitions,inner experience made free to be.Painter and creative force united as one living moment.It and its residue,to remain, in epigraph.

Premium Member My Moonstone Pendant

A radiantly brilliant treasure
an opalescent afterglow
left a candescent residue
on my appreciative neck
hours after I had returned her
glorious moonstone face
to my grateful jewelry box
who is honored to house her
Form: Imagism

Premium Member Is-Ness In the Now

the greatest surprise
forever in renewal
is in not knowing
if this breath be our last
with heart yet celebrating 
effervescence of bliss
reverberating within
marking imprints in space 
but leaving behind no residue

Premium Member Warrior

Wild, he called me a tornado;
a whirlwind out of control;
Raging against adversity  
ravenous, he could feel my war;
Instantly the wind was blowing 
overtaking the entire sky 
residue of just how I missed you tonight.

Three Haiku

Haiku 
A fall rose alone
Insipid pink and frozen 
Winter is coming

Haiku 
Playing the fiddle 
Under a street lamp´s sorrow 
Residue of dreams

Haiku 
Snow covered garden 
Plastic roses on the table 
Look obscene

Emotional Laundromat

emotional laundromat  
memories placed  
within the 
washing machine
of the wounded soul 
cleansing of the 
negative residue 
that resides within
the broken heart 
place negativity
within the dryer 
shrinking emotional
scars

Premium Member Mushroom Village

Mushroom village was lit with excitement and joy from within
 Granting the woods a well-known ancient legend’s prophecy
Acknowledged by the residue of a dying faeries final wish 
Those who benefited from it were delighted, loving it.

Christmas

Please! Please, dont BUY a christmas gift.
I will NOT accept.
But gladly, I will, swift and true, a gift created, just by YOU.
A cuddle, a kiss, a drawing too.
Alone.
Time shared, you see right through.
Love leaves rainbow residue.

Outlined by the sea;
A soft silhouette 
leaving residue 
to find your way back;
No matter how lost;

The stars rival 
the darkest sky 
reflecting a 
galactic map;

Flip flop lights;
A beacon 
will guide you;

Home will 
never 

fade.

Magnesium Love of the Write

Does it shimmer with confusion?
Quake with conclusion
Sulfate with the meanings residue 
confound and astound you?
Does it rake and equivocate
Does it boil down and resonate
Does it shake your foundation and destroy your
condemnation?

If so your getting it right

I Dream Colors

Fond of love I cannot say it
having suffered I live happy
this ribbon that encircles me
I dream colors in butterfly havens

love has friends like alabaster
your hair is my ambrosial layer
when those kindnesses are closer
I spend the residue in thinking you
