Love’s reflection- we are whole
Cast beneath your frothy heart
Take heed the rocks and shallows
Kiss with painted lips...

life shadows
like a river 
which shallows
thanks to the giver
forever shall be praise
footprints are accompanied by his

The Widow
Though suffering shadows
my memory never shallows
my husband past memory follows
As his body swallows
through the earth, his house gallows
And forever as widows...

bohemian indulgence
monk mode renunciation
both wishing to be elsewhere
away from the here and now
are caught in egoic glue
wallowing in shallows

Long Ways From the Sea
Unto ones self winters never bore
Summers never die and wants are never achieved
Tis not the highest peak nor darkest valley that emplore
But the shallows and ridges near shore...

Obit For Beau
Make a wish
to summon 
the fish to crowd 
around so he'll
be found.
I'll always see
his little shape
in the shallows
of the lake, 
forever to bathe
in his Betta
baptismal  
grave....

Shadows And Shallows
It's almost impossible to show,
The shadows of:
Blue
White
Yellow

Of diamonds' shines
When the reader is a shallow  blind one
Thinks a writer is a gaga  seller of pieces of glasses...

Sacrifices
Day to day, 
I watch you floundering,
Like a fish out of water.
The human and the mermaid.
Afraid of drowning,
He calls from his little island,
As the sea beckons.
Offering it's spoils
Torn,
You sit in the shallows....

Premium Member Blind Me With Passion
I will not wade with you in ocean shallows

Love must run far deeper than a shoal

Having enough passion to make me blind

A love rivaling the grandest of hallows

Heal my heart and make it whole

Drown me in fervid depths of your mind...

Hiking Penmans Pass
hiking Penman's Pass
along the river Nith
the current strong

white water over shallows
along the river Nith
damp the air

chilling to the bone
hiking Penman's Pass
to the forks of the Grand

gypsum veins run deep
in Paris legacy
hiking Penman's Pass...

Premium Member As the River Lies
Cerulean soft shallows glide
like lotic lullabies; gentle,
hushed.  Juniper hills undulate
breezy slopes, tucked tender Autumn,
where turgid pastels drift perpetual
atop the sleepless river - surface deep.
