The boughs are laden with snow.

Winter tableau is painted.

Nature played overnight trick,

Turning green to white.

I found the old map
folded neatly there 
in the desk drawer,
unfolding I see
our last journey, planned
but never taken.

Premium Member Waterfall TABLEAU

In the forest heart
Placid echo sounds
Of the roaring brisk 
Dazzling waterfall
Cascading downward
Into a plunge pool.

And plump maki rolls-
A tasty sushi 
With rice wine
Fine!

Moon rises surprised,
eschews its pocked face,
caught in early glare
of sun in bleaches
awaiting its call.
A starlet usurped!

I crawl in the dark
With slimy cave walls
And dripping water
That lands on my back
I hear bats moving
And make my way out

beaming globe of light
mews a mating call
on a bended knee
universe conspires 
the ocean consents 
love pervades the air

There are no steel bars.
Just society's
Natural confines.
Birds fly off freely.
Quick fish swim away.
Men mull over their wrongs.

One day, she might dare

when he's nowhere near.
She might even go

The Tableau of My Muse

Soft, Gentle, Calm Eyes
Gazing upon mine
Glowing from within
Pools of evergreen
Entrancing my soul
And gone in a blink

Nerves can play havoc
worst type of prison
one’s life is a hell
just the simplest thing
sets off an alarm
slave in ironclad chains

Captive

Locked in your shadow
Rigid as a board
Twisted in the dark
Eyes fixed and insane
Arms like heavy chains
Captive in a haze

Premium Member If It Leads To You-Tableau

I fear heights and yet,
never would I fret
crossing a wobbly
bridge o'er a ravine.
If it leads to you,
that's what I would do.

The birds are chirping;
The bees are buzzing.
The flowers are grown.
The sun is shining;
Veggies are growing.

Bound to notepad page
Mind locked in a cage
Margins rule insight
Cropping left and right
Bias frames the view
Cutting truth askew

Rusty carcasses,
forsaken by time,
battered by wind, waves.
Once useful and proud,
now broken, forlorn.
The tales they could tell.

the simplest of sounds
set off the alarm 
angst my fixed abode

The full moon shines bright
Beams coolly floated
Gently hits the height
Trees surprise-gloated 
Silhouette the scene

Serene silence spreads
Folks in special garbs
cross legged on the floor
Striving to keep minds
free from diversions
A great sign of peace!

Elephant-like chests
On green-grey hillock
Grass grows like hair-crests  
Scenes seem idyllic
A bridge, built like nests
Art on acrylic...???

Scenes silver-painted
Beam bits of sun shines
Sparrows, snow tainted
Hands of trees peace signs
Bushes stand fainted
All around God's shrines

Silver glinting thread -
Eyes go to its source.
A li'l fly lays dead -
Spider's fault, of course.
Wings can barely flap
Once in spidee's trap.

Premium Member Captured Tableau

The cage locked so tight
knows not day from night.
The girl inside it
with terror must sit.
Just she and each wall
hear feared footsteps fall.
