Robin?
What name 
would the Inuit
give to you
whose arrival
could not suggest
our same joys of spring
hence 
perhaps your red breast
should signify death....

At autumn harvest
Pumpkins used to show season
Surrounded by garland
Some are carved with light inside
To signify joy of times

Break it off a bit
loosen the grip
On my sanity
somewhere in the back
Please detain the pain
let my cries signify
Not the same
un unhappy
Give me a glimpse of free
tell me
i
am
not me...

In the chilly weather, all just wonder
Inside the blanket, incubated a night
Still rains pouring, cocks still crow
To signify for all, lives ripe to start
Contents of incubation,turn to give more...

With a skyward glance
I am counting stars tonight
hope that you are too
because every star you see
signify a kiss from me

I search in my heart
for a speck of love for you,
but I abandoned all hope
no more will i cry
if our paths ever cross again
I will act as if your 
gone and forgotten
and I've left behind nothing
to signify any trace of you...

Twice on the balcony,
They did kiss.
The heir to the British throne,
And the Duchess
Most say, to signify marital bliss,
To an audience of more than two billion.
On tweets they said, Oh what a success,
For the country and the Queen!...

Love is flower of wild poppy,
Vivid as colorful butterfly,
Upbraiding love signify,
Animosity, animosity.

Love is fragrance of roses,
Throbs in the sigh as bruises,
music full of melodies,
Vital for all, vital for us.

Blue bonnie budding beauty burn
Ready to receive fluttering butterflies
Breathing heavy heart not seen
Glittering dew drops signify all.

(Based on the painting “The Treachery of Images” by René Magritte)

If you label symbols traitors
Since they’re only indicators
Rather than the actual things they signify,
Then you’re logically unable
To affirm your very label
Is a truth and not a metaphoric lie....

Snuggled deep to set the tone,
my strength and pause will paint the picture,
amid my words the heart will roam,
like aimless Gods inside her scripture.

The words are mine to signify,
her loss,her love,her silent hope,
and in them may she rectify.
the letters in her passions scope....

On top of failure
Is a lonely Lucifer
Awaiting my arrival
I have fallen below bounds
That were once so familiar to my feet
So, the ground feels different,
Hotter and slightly unstable
Much like my temperament
And in this case
‘F’ does not signify fantastic
But we all know what it means...

Insubstantial insanity
Instantaneously realized
Absurd fantasies I’ve devised.
All deeds i do, all words I say
Gods of iron, feet of clay
All, in time, will fade away
Leaving not even an "Ozymandias" trace
To signify ever I was in this place
Every remnant time will erase;
Both of my pride and my disgrace....

Slime balls

Terrorism,
Makes life, mere breath on a string,
If radical's viewed life as more,
They would not detonate themselves
To decimate the innocent;
While the echoes of each eruption
May signify days shortened,
Allah was not life’s giver,
Nor does he clip the string!

Convalescents

Ocean of radical heather signify: welcome waves of moorland mist, deluge of dewy
tears fall on this place heavenly kissed. Wooden bench outside the old hay barn,
where the sultry breeze in sugar hill dances, orchestrates the old folk with war-torn minds reminisce those given a life of second chances.

Again we place fresh flowers
On graves that mark our past—
To signify remembrance
And memories that last.

Along these jade rolling hills
Others now leave their note—
Memorial traditions
Things known but never wrote.

Yes, they are not forgotten
In this new world so fast—
We still leave these spring symbols—
Flowers that do not last....

The Vine

The first day love climbed
Like an invisible green vine 
Into me 

From Aphrodite's crimson tree

My life changed
Haunted forever by
My old history

Chilly winds and hoarfrost light
collaborate to signify
October’s taken hold.

Distant hills are masterpieces.
God, the Artist, planned the blend
of hues from red to gold.

Mums and pumpkins grace our porches.
Weather varies, day by day,
from gray to bright and bold.

Everything that it is measurable is real. This signify to determine an established agreement to have a objective quantification and univocal of everything that we know. The reality is not different for everyone of us but we are different of the ones from the other in our perceptions and above all in judgments of the world that surround that it determine our decisions in service of our needs....

an icicle
drip, drip, dripping away
slips of spring

sunlight gleams
winter garb cast aside
petticoats flash

rays of gold
glistening on the glen
flicks of foxtails

mewling mouths
nuzzle at their mother
come spring



[“petticoats” in this instance are meant to signify 
glistening white snow, hidden beneath gray snow banks, 
and exposed suddenly by early spring sunshine.]...

Paint me.. 
a picture of disaster
of Self pity 
of little worth

of meaninglessness 

on a cornflower blue background
and red brush strokes

signify me..

put me on canvas
on display
for all to see and
criticize

because even 
free wine and
hors d’oeuvres
will never be 
enough

this grand 
opening
isn’t for them

or even
for you
it 
is 
for
Me

I am a masterpiece...
