The rose is always
 splendorous
in any garden ...
surely there must be ...
Hyde park
Central park
or on the playground
close to me.....

A flame red lipstick 
With black laced sleeve blouse and skirt 
Combined with high heels
Mirrors reenergized mood
Radiating with splendor

colorful torches  
held by green soft spongy stalks ---
splendorous cloud-wrap

gorgeous carpets spread
the breeze plays a calm concert ---
sun's royal parade

Rebirth
pushing forward
like the Phoenix rising
from its crusty crypt of ashes
to soar again and sing its song of Spring
Earth erupting in luscious life
snowdrops sigh with relief
splendorous Spring
Rebirth...

An Oak
a soul aging,
splendorous sentinel,
an entity peeking through bark
just long enough to impress my tired eyes;
recognizing it I smile back...
generous are the trees,
new spirit friend
an oak.

FALL
crackling
colored leaves

when I was a child
I'd rake them into piles
that I’d jump into for fun

"autumn's a splendorous season"

Like a tulip in spring, 
I open my petals to embrace you in. 
With every strike of the wind, 
Vigorous color flushed through my skin. 
Splendorous blooming fields,
All laying to form a bed.
Awaiting your sway, 
All to emit their lovely scent.

Solid white oak tree with stalwart branches.
God's creatures, bed and breakfast.
Refuge for the wayward kitten.
Hides the homes and young of the song birds
and scurrying squirrels.

Deep rooted to stand for ages and 
shade the lives of those who journey and stop to rest for
awhile below your splendorous branches....

quiet green
sun spread shasde
a canopy of
splendorous
tall trees
height and girth
worth their years
leaves sparkling
with the last
wet brilliant
gems of morning dew

passing through
this earthly temple
only marked
by nature's hand
i am silently
touched and changed
by the magic
and the beauty
of this singular
moment...

When my whole Spirit
        Ensues'
    The course of my pain
The plight of my Ego
      Encounters' disdain
               Fore it is
A most splendorous
Place and just about
  As far as we go
The Kingdom is such
     An awesome place
So when I feel that distance'
     Is not too far away
I praise the Lord and Just
           Simply pray

I have lived through
the greatest generations
of American achievement,
And it saddens me to read
how so many Americans
are in bereavement
For what they consider to be
the dying days
of our enterprising democracy,
While they live
in splendorous comfort
Because of our free enterprise—
such hypocrisy!

Joyous Noel
Splendorous with foil
Foiling the weather,
Birds fluffing feathers,
Joyous Noel
Keeping warm with kindness,
Strong with pine scents
Trees sparkling white, contents
Joyous Noel!
Let none be voiceless
Voicing all of this churr,
A gently stirred whirr.

       silent, sparkling, saturating,silver
       streaked-sky...

       sleeping, sonneteers,in states of 
       sky-castles snore...

       sanguine, self-assured,and so sunset-sure...

       something supremely splendid to scribe...

       softly, sylvan on some soul's snuggly, splendorous, spirit...

Nights of splendorous illusions
Days of plain reality
Are what balance this sweet life
Despite our harsh realities
We live with idealistic illusions
What a beautiful facade 
You told me you loved me
What you did was hurt me
My problem was to have loved you
I told you I did not love you
Filled with pride I lied 
And I continue my life with lies
because of the deceit...

i was so blessed today
as a butterfly perched
on my fingertips
flashing a fan-dance glimpse
of its splendorous display
as i saw my flowers bloom
here – and there
for the dogs scattered them
excavating the seed-bed
like a world war one battlefield
yet the survivors
raised their banners – splendidly
in their complexity
of symmetry
of colour
even if randomly…...

The painting,
            on the wall
           from splendorous art
            almost effaced..
           Due so much
           bitterness totally
           yellowed....
           from fright into
           stupefaction 
             almost  lost
           all colors...
           But it wasn't whitening,
           it was fading
           of pain...!...

Carmine, orange, and rust paint the trees
as they drip from Jack Frost's brush
clashing with emerald green
they set treetops afire
with blazing color
a splendorous
November 
work of
art 

red
cerise
and scarlet
colored pigments
fuel vermilion flames
that scorch green canopies
crimson ashes in their wake
dabbled with scarlet and yellow
as the leaves change almost overnight...

Like sunlight
Upon a grassy plane
Splendorous wonder
Flashing flame

The lavish name
Of passionate love
The magical essence
A raptured dove

Captured above
Majestic skies
The intimate spark
The dazzling rise

A splash upon eyes
So deep attracted
The scent of love
Her sweetest tactic

Her dreamiest magic
Romantic bliss
Enchanted kiss
Upon Me! Upon Me!
The Passion Bleeds
*The Passion Bleeds*...

Creaking under my feet, the jigsaw laid of nature's splendorous feat.

a crude summer gone;
docile sun's affable rays
sprinkling us with gold

Rustle of leaves, autumn ring
The wind fiddles a violin string 
Welcoming the harvest sweet 
Call for the first snow-meet.

Awfully splendorous fallen-leaf paintings on landscapes!
Ultra momentary changing of sky colors and shapes!
Trees, true forerunners, paving paths for the winter princess!
Umbrellas bidding farewell to the summer-rain messes!
Munificently mesmerizing multicolored Morns!
Nebulous fogs knitting knotty nets in nocturnal noons!

When night did then soft vespers raise
To holy heights a herald,
Sad Earth farewell'd and gentle sighed
As her little rose took flight...

And the world was less the splendorous
Though Heaven grew the richer-
Unboundaried Love by Love well hailed
'Pon shining shores of Evermore...

Noble soul, take well thy rest
And deathless dance midst saints!
As dew-drowned eyes due tribute pay
At the whisper of Mother's name......

This rose stand so bold with
Blossom of elegance and
Beauty,
Each petal sparkle with the 
Kiss of the early morning
Dew
This rose blossom with posh
Subtle beauty reign
The essence of life makes this
Rose a masterpiece of nature
Gardens,
Such splendorous beauty
Cascading hues colors of 
The rose,
With the early morning dew
Twinkling down each petal
Each leaf
Nothing so beautiful as
The rose in the early morning
Dew...
