Child In You

Child  in you "playing" on the beach,
Collecting roughened watered stones and shells,
Others  don't like to hear "Let your PRESENCE fall om me."

Premium Member D.N.A Pinball

God is playing pinball between the rungs of a double helix.
Silver balls of randomness and eternity, laying roughened paths onto the blackness, 
tilted... "Uncertainty".

Premium Member Resurrected

a roughened garden
devil's claw over blossom
stones like dominoes

estate sale today
fingering through memories
grief cold uncaring

sold to the future
children bouncing on the grass
laughter resurrected

Premium Member The Sapling

The winters come much faster now
than once they did in endless days;
The sapling now a roughened bough
which in the wind no longer sways.
Springs interjection disappears
as quickly as the summer sun;
And fall? It counts the passing years
reveals the end has now begun.

Premium Member Of Men and Ships

Of men and ships that plow the seas
And leave a vanished furrow
In unmarked depths of ocean field
Where a million sees lie fallow.
Men who cast with roughened hands
Hopes upon the silken crests
And visions to the salty breeze
Ships that touch the foreign shore
And paint the harbor frieze.

A Shadow In the Dark

Is it but only sun that makes the shade?
My shadow disappears when drenched in dark.
A tree in light remains with shadow made
Showing twisted branches and roughened bark.

In light of His love I forever stand
Knowing no shade alone that I may cast.
My shadow in His love is tall and grand,
No shade alone but His shall ever last.

Premium Member A twirling swirling whirling Wind




                                                   across the land westerly wind swirling
                                                maelstrom hits the town wild wind whirling
                                                       roughened sea wind still twirling

I Googled

I googled peace 

to get the feel of how 

she fared 

and

found her fight her

roughened way into 

men's bosoms and 

fortresses

and shuttle back

and forth 

between heaven 

and 

heavy hearts 

 
* * *

and then…

and then I browsed 

for war 

and with a gaping eye 

I watched 

the endless edging of a khaki  

garb 

and Oh the omnipresence

This Woman I Love

,Knows my very dreams

Dreams my very life,

As it were hers

She cradles my ego,

As if just born

Still loves my arms,

Embraced in their strength

Yet strange to me,

Softened when holding her

Golden lit flowing hair,

Caressing my roughened cheek

My grip of steel,

Loosened by velvet grasp 

Silken ivory lovely breasts,

Melting my iron chest

Hazed Ku's

--Mid*Night Purple Hazed,
                       Confusion Clouds Spin,
                            Mind In A Daze--

                  --Hands Cramp, Flow, Style 
                Bagged, Through Roughened Air,
                        Quarrels Ruby Red--

                    --Mouth Quit, No Words,
                         Come Out To Play,
                  Destined To Make My Fame--

Premium Member Gentle Touch

Your gentle touch by work roughened hands 
caresses my body softer then the finest silk
Endearments whispered in the darkness
are more precious to me than song
Eyes that express your truth
are held more dear than a poem
Your kiss that claims my heart
binds me tighter than chains
The feel of strong arms around me
imparts a strength unsurpassed
Two souls mated as ours
lasts longer than time

Fully Booked, 1

A century echoed incantations
Of a language in psalms and eulogies;
Each decade bearing plagues, wars disarranged
While men embraced time’s deep lamentations .
Although hearts roughened by dead rhapsodies,
The victories of warm brotherhood reigned
Cultivating world solace blessed by grace.

Premium Member Manor

Eve outlines the curves of an old terrain, where antique bottles in their moonlit sheen reflect pillars’ glow…now mildly unseen from vintage halls of paling, roughened grain: All through this vine-clad manor’s dusky shade poses outside its elegant fig tree-- Which attests to a once- royal marquee this landmark, our own hometown’s proud arcade.

Roughened Fingertips

When fingertips are rough
Connect them with the wire
And let them freely slide and twang
The resonate supplier

The frequency transpire
And waves that flood the room
Do soften roughened fingertips
When audit’ries abloom

How sonic muse do plume
So disregard the stage
It’s in your hands, it’s there and then
Embittered and assuaged

The opened spruce-wood cage
And canvas to bedeck
Do welcome roughened fingertips
To dance the wiry neck

Premium Member The Heartwood Canticle

Thy curve hath taught
the rosewood how to sing
and my fingers
long roughened by cedar
grow gentle upon thy hips
returning unto the edge of thy ebony

Through forty harvests
rain hath polished
snow hath kept
the sun made sweet the grain

Lo, the wood thrush calleth
from the bough
where once this timber
drank the morning

Thrice I say unto thee
I love thee—

And another ring
God closeth
in the heartwood

Premium Member The Oak

The oak is a most pleasant tree
She gently towers over thee
Shading everything on the ground
Inspired by small brownish round tiny acorn wee

Red squirrels claim her for their home
She provides shelter for a gnome
Blue jay senses her strength is near
Tall white tailed deer use her roughened bark as a comb

She can live for thousands of years
Letting the snow slide off in tears,
Nature's seal of mighty tree bond
Using pond as one of her fabulous mirrors.

First Letters

Out of the wind,
the brown carpet is marked
prosaic like petals swept away
My snowdrops weltering in the winter 
not even dead heading
can help their blind eye stalks 

I feel like a pebble
roughened at the edges
and Im gifting no one
Mother nature has unearthed me
My eyes remain shut
I finger past the muddy morass
I feel blazed over
from the cityscape of lingering dreams

Not even the recurring home
joyous and warm
feels my pockets
I am a sunbaked bun

Premium Member A Walk In the Park

Walking barefoot in the park on a carpet of green grass; Nature's cool, dewy fingers massage and tickle my toes. A brisk tactile breeze tussles my unruly mop of hair; sending a shiver running along the length of my spine. Soaking up rays, I bathe in warm sunlight, treating my skin to its therapeutic touch; bringing a blush to my cheeks. And the roughened bark of an accommodating shade-tree scratches a persistent itch; as it rubs my grateful back.

Ocean Treasure

Oh ocean of that long-gone embryo
Careening stormy erratic, to pacific
Ever sculpting in navy-wavy trance
Atop your peaks diamond ambrosia
Never-never dreams, you've grown ~

Troughs, they stripped fear’s heart
Rendering a wanderer, now braver
Enameling away sea-shine opaline
as Nautili curling their striped sola
Soak me up to float down in blues
undulating in the sunk, spilled sou
roughened in a barnacle-concealer

Estuary-rich, unfurl the flowing life ~
