Beneath a clear river which shimmered....

shimmered undulance
moon's slow waltz as current leads...
river gently dips...

Storm came, clouds thundered;
Ripples in water, shimmered to calm,
As sun peeped after!...

She must of been,
A crescent moon,
The way she shimmered,
And glows,
With the Autumn hues,
Her love,
Luminously sweet,
With the palm,
And maples trees

Slumbering, I dreamed that
sugar crystals drifted softly from pink sky 
till sunrise, when I awoke, and
sweetness greeted my eyes.
As if sifted by angels, 
it shimmered in winter’s dawn....

I fell in
Love
When I 
First saw
Your beautiful
Eyes
They shimmered
In the sunlight
Like ice
Sparkling
Your lips
Are perfect
Light pink
Heart-shaped
Lastly
You
The perfect 
Girl for
Me...

As the morning sun 
Shone its warm light 
on the cold, green grass, wet with dew
It shimmered like diamonds
And I thought to myself,
It is a beautiful moment 
To be paying attention.

Lost in the light of our love


Drenched in the beauty 
of heaven sent dreams
Heart beats sing 
echoes above

Silently swaying neath 
shimmered moon beams
Lost in the 
light of our love...

I followed on a moonbeam
as you went floating by
So I could see the beauty in
this chilly winter sky

For every time you smile
the heavens up above
Glisten in the shimmered light
of your December love

Slumbering, I dreamed that

Sugar crystals drifted

Softly from pink sky till

Sunrise, when I awoke.

Sweetness greeted my eyes.

Sifted by angels, it

Shimmered in winter’s dawn.

Shimmered in daydreams 

Twilight fades the dark skies
as sunset weaves its light
into my weary heart –
shining hope on the edge
of a glistening horizon
calling to me from beyond
a saltwater shoreline –
shimmered in daydreams
as my thoughts of her
refuse to rest...

in "Angels & Demons" you wept softly,
shimmered your strings in a supine grace,
reached warmly over the edge with
a tremulous honey vibration
rising in crescendo, dripping into shadow,
then onto a deceptive cadence;
your amber rhythms stirred the inchoate
with a chord seared by sweet lament –...

Dawn awakened and replaced the moon
Empty, the sky where once stars were strewn
   In repose, Luna slept after wandering night skies
   and spider webs shimmered in the light of sunrise
      Dew glistened like diamonds on the fragrant rose
      as a gentle breeze billowed my sheer nightclothes...

When the sun had melted straw
to gold
and dawn had shimmered,
out of its platinum dream-mask,
then the lank kneed heron
allowed itself to blink once,
however,
the darting minnows
were too small to care much -
they knew the tall still bird,
had no use for scraps of silver foil.

Silent midnight, crescent moon overhead
Molten silver shimmered on dewy grass
Tender jasmine and vibrant marigold
Danced with the gentle breeze
As softly it caressed my sleepy cheeks
Resting on his warm loving shoulder

the shimmered gaze

          had drowned to dim

               once deep, the ways

     one yearned to swim


lost now, love’s words

          he’d dreamed to kiss

               those lips ne’er heard

     from death’s … abyss.

Hold on tight to this dream
it has feathers
that I found under the bed
where a princess lay her head
while her pony
waited shivery silver in the moonlight
at the edge of December
beside a laughing stream
that shimmered the thirsty
stones and said...
hope is a journey
best begun alone
alone alone alone........

I saw him standing in the street 
he  so vacant eyed and weak,
refused to see me as I passed
For I recall the summer last,
when fireflies shimmered in the stream
and he had promised me a dream
before he set his soul on fire
with mistresses of white desire
and now his ashen face decries
the way a burning passion dies....

Dappled light shimmered from a golden moon,
and peered into a grove of bent willow trees.
Arched branches swayed in a gentle breeze,
as if shadow dancing to the song of a loon
as she warbled the lyrics of her mating tune.

Pieced together thin slices
like a slivered moon
mosaic
cobbled snapshots of splendor and pain

Fractured glints of crashed boundaries
uncollected past dues
mingled souls’ shredded fabric
a patchwork insane

shimmered moonglow does knock on
your window each night
poke your nose through the fog
and unlock the safety chain...

The moonlight shimmered off
The new fallen snow,
Across the field walked
Two baby deer and their mother doe.

The beauty of the sight 
Overwhelmed me with awe,
And, oh!  More majestic!
You would not believe what I just saw!

A whole mess of animals
Running to have fun, 
To gather in the center,
I guess hibernation is done!...

Red,
The summer sky is red,
scarlet ,
furious as my fathers face 
after another one for the road 

Blue,
the sea is blue,
shiny, shimmering and cold, 
my mother,  bejewelled, always shimmered 
but to me she was cold

Black,
The night is black, 
unwelcoming, 
all consuming 
turn that light out and stop your crying 
black...

Coral Bell was a dainty, delicate faerie.
She often wore the colors of the sea 
Her iridescent gowns shimmered 
Sparkling with pearls and rhinestones 
Reminding the mermaids of ocean waves
I wish I was a faerie, said a mermaid, to herself.
I wish I was a mermaid, Coral Bell thought.
Neither realizing they were perfect the way they were....

Light shimmered on the lake at moonrise,
with a breathtaking view that glimmered.
Beneath the glow of Luna's pale luminance,
the night was calm on the banks of the firth
except for the cooing of a lonesome dove,
who thirsted like me, yearning to be loved.
