Short Suntanned Poems

Languid eyes surf the horizon     

Bites hot the suntanned light

Drowning the parched azure ocean

Beyond the withered shore...

Those days when the hours fluttered by
Like the wings of a bright butterfly.
Suntanned skin and bare feet--
And the breeze was as sweet
As the fragrance of blueberry pie....

There was a young lady from Clyde
Whose skin was all puffy and dried
She smeared it with grease
Suntanned it in Greece
And now it's all puffy and fried

SERENITY OF CIRCUMSTANCE

my cocoa blossom floats downstream
serene amidst the forest of scented pine
suntanned beauty with melting petals
cooled by the teal reflections of time

Through the louvered window
The moonlight slips in furtively
Barring her flawless suntanned skin
Musky fragrance pervades the air
Stirring the mind with anticipation
Mellow sensual intoxication.

I only tell of sunny hours...
I,Gnomon,
Sundial yeoman;
Suntanned sentinel 
Stand watch,
Shedding tears for unrequited love.
My cooling shadow stalks sun;
Caresses with timely sunscreen
Sweet sundial’s gilt Egyptian face.
Ask me time of day;
“Shadow knows,” I’ll say.
Shadow will not rest
‘Til sun does nest....

Awake in you 
the wonder of my tears.
Unrequited  touch no longer my fear.
Physical act so good is sin.
Thoughts of suntanned body
above the white of my skin.
Comforting pictures in my mind.
The work of your brown eyes shine.
Your voice melts away any remnants
of my walls of stone.
All this combined my love
sends me into a world divine....

Earth white flash suntanned brown
sweats snow droplets into the soil
softening heart's silence into a song
spring time joy is back 
with blossoms, gentle breezes
bird song melodies

My feet walk a thousand miles
new places new faces
it's what I like best
A bohemian gypsy
Free & easy I live my day
under the warmth of the tropical sun
under the star filled universe
I have no regrets

Peace & love is what's real
tattoo's on a suntanned body
toe rings anklets & bracelets wrapped in a sarong
This earth is my home
forever I will roam
A drifter that is me 
living life today
living my life 
my way!...

Summer sun burning skin,
Ice cream cones are meltin’ in goo,
Weathermen have no clue,
Sunscreen dries while we stew on sand
No chilling breeze at hand,
Slowly roasting, suntanned we lie,
Baring all neath the sky,
Moaning temps are too high again,
How we need cooling rain,
To relieve the summer’s pain of heat,
Too hot, too hot we bleat
The sand is burning feet, oh dear,
Global warming I fear
When summer sun is here, such sin!

dawn a flash of light
summer sun escaped the clouds
a blink in time

sparrows twittering
fledgelings begging to be fed
a watchful cat

warm westerly breeze
consolation for no sun
the warmth factor

summertime blinked
one-day last year a Monday
July the tenth

suntanned my body
fake news in a bottle
binned sunglasses

its summer time
no nature is lying
hush pretty baby

my apple tree
has yet to bloom and produce
summertime blues...
