Premium Member Spokes

engrossed in my book -
the tunes of playful robins
whir of wash-machine
        the sunless dawn, spokes
atop oaks, pines and myrtles

Darkness Blackens

Say it simply
or not at all
The truth uncovered
in brief recall

Too often masked
in verbiage strewn 
Whose darkness blackens
— a sunless noon

Giving Up On Vain Dreams

I would give up on vain dreams...the ones that won't let me see how
life is lived without the tears and the fears of being unloved:
if one of them drew a beautiful rainbow in my sunless sky!

dawn explosion of color ~
angel’s and flower’s
spectacular yellows, pinks,
cerulean blue ~
still charcoal gray sky
if i look outside, my eyes
depressed by a sunless sketch.

The Worm To the Bee

The worm to the bee:
The flowers you reap
are born of the soil
which is ventilated by me 
with my sunless burrows.
And every bud opening
is a flight of mine
into the very heart
of the infinite Sky.

now sunless days on automatic pilot
skies from greys to blues to violet
feigning composure while on edge
he dances nonchalantly on a ledge

Premium Member Savin' Sunshine

Sitting here over coffee
warn thoughts like smoke
filter slowly cross my mind.
Thinking of you dear
wish you were here.

Savin' sunshine darlin'
for some sunless day,
neatly filed darlin'
under "S" for stay.

Her Sunless Moon

I go up
And you go down
It's something about
When you come around
That little...
Time I spend with you
Moon...
The prettiest 
You woo
You'd weep
When times I set
I slept.. 
Only to see you

Weeping...

A Sunless World

A sunless world
will unfold, then
deep cold will come.

An Ice Age might
hide sunlight from
Man's sight to fret. 

Where will we go?
On snow and ice
we'll crawl and die.

Is this fiction,
or the frown that 
each one will wear?

Premium Member Seraphic Dawn

Shattered sunless sky…desolation deluge

Darkness wraps darkness…stalls opaque time

Find nascent horizon raising a new sky

Deep within…crystalline essence shines

Light layers light…blooms seraphic dawn.

Premium Member Strong Misgivings--

Fitful gusts
Occasional thunderstorms
Sunless cannonades
Refreshing breezes
Little gusts
Interesting seedpods
Violent lusts
Emotional whirlwinds, mistrust
Strong misgivings

Premium Member Night Breeze

through sunless hours
it sneaks in the open window like a thief, 
it's cool tendrils caresses
the tangle limbs upon the bed. 

throughout the shadowed dim lit room
a lullaby it sings, 
fragrant with the scent of love.

Premium Member Clarity After Cloudiness

Oh, those cloudy, sunless days; time to visit inner views. No distractions in my mind luring me outdoors to play, hiding what lies deep inside. Clouds grant clarity to thoughts- to write deeper poems then.

Rejoice

Gone are the days of the past filled with sunless sorrow
                                                                                                                     
                     To have the choice to rejoice in a bright tomorrow

Red and Gray

Skipping down the walk on a sunless, foggy day;
a bright red coat surrounded in shades if gray.

In a smoldering mass grave, on a sad and shameful day;
a swatch if bright red coat, surrounded in ashes if gray.

Premium Member KEEP LOVE IN YOUR HEART

As I see human flowers dying from lack of love all across this world
I wish more people would give more thought 
to something  Oscar Wilde said:

Keep love in your heart.
A life without it 
is like a sunless garden
when the flowers are all dead.

The Cold Hutch

Living in the sunless cold hutch of till death do us apart, sits a chipping soul.

Never had he thought she did be a blotch of many shades.
Spitting and pouring scorn on his dreams of a happy home.

“What? Are you even a man? Your mates are out there...”

Midnight's Bride

The night is sunless,
And the road is rough. 
A mission, set out
To wander alone…
With just drops of dew
To quench my thirst. 
The forest is thick
With brambles and thorns,
But the midnight’s bride, the Moon,
With her veil of light…
PENETRATES THROUGH.

bleakness of Autumn
    on a cloudy-sunless day
            muted colors droop
spirit’s  s i l e n t  interlude...
…blush of solo-leaf descant

The Cold Tears of Clouds

At dusk one remembers
the bleak solitude
of sunless clouds and dark sea;
in mid-altitude
winds lash them and wheeze...
as trees are being drenched with   
the cold tears of clouds.

Premium Member On Cloud Nine - Ws

In sunless dark dusk
winter blizzard blows across
the road I walk chilled back home.

Cupful hot coffee
my wife gives me at fireplace,
we’re on cloud nine together.
