Bogomil Cove

Hidden yet rugged
At the bottom of the world 
Cool water flowing
High above Hell’s barren gates
High above ringed deception

Sunday morning
memories shimmering
old thesaurus scarred with coffee rings
mind sprouting... evergreen...

Wovoka

From the Kiowa to the Cree,
 people sing and dance

Prairies ringed with fire
—a ghost returns at last

(Pine Ridge South Dakota: September, 1994)

Arboriginal

Spring’s budding, branching arbors,
saplings to sappy seniors,
are all stalwarts with ringed hearts
and life giving leaves.

Holiday

Holiday is ringed gay with lights.
Niose-shook, for a marquee
Of lawn-pitched attractions.
No dull railing girts it. A place
In time joy-bounced, by whim's
Un-school-like persuasions.

ringed with marbled dreams
passions are subdued
in the soul of time
be still - listen


live
a smile, a tear
at this hour of dawn
by you lies my heart

The Eagle -Revisited-

He grasps for power with crooked hands,
Ringed by angry foreign lands
Telling the lies, there he stands


The shameless memories make skin crawl
He watches from his tower tall
And like a thunderbolt will fall.

Premium Member Free-Floating

Cool, dark blue waters
Ringed by green, pointed pines
A white-clouded sky above 
And all of it fills my eyes

Free-floating ...
Held in summer's arms 
Held by the deep sound
Of the gurgling lake
Curled around my ears ...

Silver Waits For Gold

Both my hands, decorated with silver.

Right ringed by waves, married to the ocean,
Shining rope and turquoise in the center.

Left has leaves to thumb for lifts,
And points the finger at sterling death.

One finger waits for gold.

A package left outside your door
"Expecting something? You implore
"No" your wife says "who's it for?"
Inside, something you've seen before:
Your wife's ringed finger falls to the floor.

Some Questions

The black holes ringed 
the galaxy. Tainted  
moon, was in tow.

         *

Any generational gap 
was evident between 
Neanderthals and humans ?

         *

How our brain works 
I wanted to know ?
Are there any real men ?

Hills Aloft

Gold at the center
Ringed with black 
Standing on silver 
Never looking back

Coolest windswept 
Hills aloft the sea
Looking toward heaven 
Never more to be

Sun scorched and burnt
Now entirely free
Looking at the shadows 
Tossed across the sea

Christmas Proclaimation - Peace On Earth; Goodwill To All Men

Brothers, sisters
Kindred spirits.
Angels - and best friends, all.
To all, alike.
Sharing, with us, the one
Father. High-sung.

World-ringed, resounds
The world once more
With this, His own clear voice.
Great heart's; through them.
Merciful indulgence!
True benevolence!

Black Hole

A black hole.
Its heavy shadow
Is the siren of the cosmos
For what can illuminate such darkness.
Violently it stirs both the universe
And the minds of men.
Within its undulating, ringed horizon
There exists nothing
     Or perhaps everything.

The Hope, Climbing To Ascend

born of earthen soil, clay models of infinite degrees and sky hopes
snowy mountain ledge, peak ringed by white stormy clouds, icy silent breath

Premium Member Sunflowers

Sunlit petals can be found
Underneath a center round,
Nodding ... both to and fro
Finding summer breezes' blow,
Loyal to a warm embrace 
Over to the sun they face,
While they stand, o, so tall
Even into the months of fall,
Ringed with yellow, orange or red
Smiles come by a sunflower bed.

eternal breath


crystal cluster scintillate on etheric arm silvery 
throned in centre I sit pert alert 
observing galaxies glitter gloriously at golden gate
silent stars circling dance luminosities, flawlessly 
ordained with eternal breath echoing eerie 
I shake ringed jewels from cobalt space ~
Form: Verse

Full Moon

Florescent globe eclipsing heaven, shrouding earth
Perched on the precipice of space in airy dearth
Ringed with the growing pains of your shallow birth
Trumpeting over the solemn night's requiem with pomp and mirth      
Bountiful orb brilliantly manifesting your inestimable worth
Waxing the dark divide with your silvery girth

Premium Member Hummingbird Princess

She was a hummingbird princess, her hair, fiery red; delighted the senses of the creatures, she fed. Ringed by brilliant Apodiforms, clothed in red, green and blue; feathered delights did adorn, her dress of black and greenish hues. Some can tame the wildest things; those whose love, affection brings.

Can I Buy You Another Drink

Cherry stem curls,
lost between teeth
made to make bruises
on whiskey bent flesh.
Lime wedges tucked 
between chaos;
Salt soaked aftermath.
Hazy dreams choked
down, chased with 
sugar laced lust. 
I taste you in every shot;
exhale the thoughts
in smoke ringed pitch.
…”Can I buy you another drink?”

Your Eyes

Your eyes 
Draw sighs
And dewy dew
From between my thighs
Whenever I look into 
Your eyes

Gray-green Irises
Pupils ringed with gold
That's your soul
Shining through
Never fails to thaw the cold

Tantalize
Mesmerize
The number of beats
In my heart rise
Whenever I look into
Your eyes

Prediction

Standing here
watching the gold of a greying sunset
It seems to strain a proven tale
already too hard to bear
Gold ringed with greys
is not natural
Grey delaying darkness 
is simply illusion
Colours are not meant to stray,
Illusions to live
Gold is meant to stay true
for each day it conjures
Grey to restore
Together,
prediction they relate

Premium Member Acorn-Utopia

Why me?  Alone.
At edge
Of decimated deciduous
Sanctuary destroyed.
I long for boughs
Now taken
Ringed history
Sacrificed
On the altar
Of a paved future.
I am the hope
Of a backyard rope swing
A Robin's nest
A squirrel's sustenance.
I shall ride
The muddy flow
Of unchecked runoff
Sink deep my roots
And grow.

The shape had fallen a minute amount when I saw it,
Ringed it was.
The sight reminded me of a stone
Dropping into the watre,
Seen from beneith,
It was defuseing into the surroundings
With the trail it seemed to be leaving.....
......Ripples of pinks
A peeking form,
Fields blooming yellow
     awaiting the bees,
Ranged over to inside,
Self to even over.

A COUPLET
Once, in the past
by you lies my heart

A TERCET
Ringed with marbled dreams
passions ns are subldued
in the soul of time

A QUATRAIN
Be still - listen
live
a smile, a tear
learn suffering

A CINQUAIN
At the hour dawn-
loneliness...
The wind dissipates the mist
separation..
Autumn is done
