in portraiture was quite a card
Lines without shadowing his thing
to miniaturists selfies he did bring

Premium Member Witches

Wild whisper sounds around
White shadowing eclipse.
Wicked witches cackle
War-time flying with their
Witchcraft hysteria,
Whole magic evil spells, 
Willful and bewitching.

Premium Member Cloud Darkened Sky

Cloud darkened sky
Nimbus raced above me in flight
Cloud darkened sky
A thunderstorm was drawing nigh
Shadowing the purple twilight
Lightening flashed, giving great fright
Cloud darkened sky

sun rays chiseling
hieroglyphs reflections
on lake ice blanket

raindrops dotting lake
with circular rippling mist
shadowing mirror

geese flight arrival
liquid lake serenity
parted by curved waves

Fall In First - Cinquain - Cinqku


two grasp
white morning smoke — 
two who spoon bumps away
from heat shadowing outside the cup,
bench space

two spoons,
sugar eyes,
coffee mug tilt — 
lips touched by the moment,
chairs screech

Day
                   Bright, Sunny
         Breaking, Appearing, Coming 
    Dawn, Morning, Cockcrow, Sunrise 
        Falling, Shadowing, Blackening
                    Dark, Dusky

In Denial

O for a world at peace;
Heat of its rage, past.
We're nigh. Its the dusking hour.
Shadowing prey's last.

Skipping o'er battlefield facts
Unquenched in faces
Look! How tame in the moonlight
Roaring's yawned traces.

Beasts of the Morning

My beasts of the morning
Come shadowing,lurking
Into my soul they plunder
Mercilessly
Turning their leering eyes upon me
Gleeming their spectral bodies unto me
Mercilessly
And I know my beasts of the morning
And I serve them well

Lady,Woman,Light

she has her sorrows
she also has the wind in her perfect hands

she a time ago was kin to bliss
now escaped unto a foreign land

she has acceptance
she knows of the shadowing end

she is beauty in its darkest form

she is the night

Grief

Your empty song resonating through the cavernous room
Loss and despair: a constant left behind
Pain dripping from the darkness, destroying all shields
A forgotten emotion lifeless in the corner
The overbearing blackness out shadowing the light

A QUIET TRIUMPH

The mountain called my name,
its peaks shrouded in doubt.
I climbed with trembling hands,
fear shadowing every route.

But the summit, oh the summit,
was a hymn sung to my soul.
It whispered, “You are enough,”
and finally, I was whole.
Form: Lyric

Friendship

He stands in the
corner of my house,
This house has been shadowing for years.
When I am very upset,
Sitting under his shadow.
Talk to each other.
Say, this is 
our lifelong friendship.
But when I need it.
I cut him off.
I didn't think about these tree.

Premium Member There Then Gone

she was there for an hour
this morning standing in the same tree
painter brush and palette shadowing evergreens
that they might look as three dimensional fractal blossoms
in the rising sun with birch barks shadow colors as entrance outlined frame

Alone

To stand in the mist
of everything.
To be surrounded by
a multitude of nations,
and feel alone is but a
crushing thought.
With every moment that
melts away.
The urgency within builds,
shadowing the mountain of pain,
erupting within my heart
soul and mind.

Killer

KILLER

Saturnine sleeper of the night,
Soaring slowly, out of sight,
Sleekly shadowing the gloom,
Silent harbinger of doom,
Innocent assassin, surreptitious, sly,
Stainless scandal slipping by,
Scything swiftly through the dark,
Hark the herald warning: Shark.

Music Moves

"music moves" music softly plays do we feel music soulfully sounds do we hear music moves do we embrace shadowing all music reaches lifting our hearts and souls feel and embrace this beat passionately quietly forevermore SkyWatcher 06-22-23

Lost In Love

The skies rearrange to appear our destiny. 
We have forsaken our love.
What seemed to be, wasn't at all. 
Our eyes perceived images of lies, reflecting dreams that can not be. 
Shadowing what was to be a clear mind, losing touch of the soul. 
We engaged with the devil, lost in this road.

Oman

I'll wrap around the silk of each day
until I will become core
to your time

I gather you up speck by speck
rumor
flutter
tear
I wait a becoming
bitter song
amidst the lips of the night

When the roads' arms 
will embrace me
ripping my body
I'll sprout, shadowing the future
with your sky.

Hologram

I see him on the park bench, his red soccer shirt

No pain, no anguish and no deadly hurt

He flickers like a hologram, finishing its show

Clouds emerge above him, shadowing his glow

I run across to meet him, my footsteps have no sound

Before I stop he disappears, he's nowhere to be found

Premium Member April Morning

popcorn clouds stretching themselves into cotton balls
a sky feeling somber, gently shadowing itself
fir trees darkening in the horizon,
a meadow glistening with dew
fifty-six degrees, a hint of spring
baby animals wake up beside their mothers
the world is coming back to life in time to greet May
day

Poem #55

Twisting, Turning
Bleeding, Pussing
Life off Balance
Screaming, Cussing

Life you have a Dark Side
Shadowing your Light
But moments come of Glory
Time will heal the Night

Breathing, Sighing
Floating, Flying
Equal is the Beam

Holding, Striving
Pacing, Arriving
Patience shall show its Gleam.

Put Me There

put me in your
place and let me
be you as i want
you to be for me

i don't want to show
my nakedness or
nipples but subtle
smiles and under

lying giggles of
a woman that has
become me over
shadowing what

i don't need
to know be
cause you
are more

beautiful
then i
could
ever

imagine
