The majestic scene atop the eastern mountains
Sunrise piercing a slender crimson golden path
Tapering downward into the calm turquoise sound
As I glide through the cool wind of the early morn

Tapering to a point
time pierces the veil
Unharvested moments
a gardener’s tale
Dug from the furrows
a voice has been freed
Whose final word spoken
—eternity’s seed

Orange peel bondage
tapering across a Sunset view
Luminous swirls hit glass
and behind a window, we sit blue
Frisky neighbors forgotten
in our eyes, another Sunday gone blind
Should have gone to church
At the back, with wine, unwind.

Culinary resonations my senses please
Blowtorch trimming the tapering of cheese
Cremated lactations dance on the fan’s breeze
Crab forks impaling young peas
Lightly dusting salt of the seas
Grindings of exotic teas
Marinades my taste buds tease

Monorhyme
within the walls of the void
that fills itself
bouncing back and forth
dark stark emptiness
hollow desolate
deep within
a swirl of utter isolation
resonant still
echoes tapering off
beyond nothingness
muffled muted
deep within

Tapering off in a redundant gesture of defeat
An erroneous life silently suffocating on fumes
Indoctrinated since birth
and reprogrammed by independent perception
Disenchanted as the layers peel back
revealing the perverted roots of a seemingly fruitful surface

Awareness coats
gives rests in
warmth
and gentle
lapping waves
combs pleasurably
strokes soothingly
brought forth in
a moments fancy
and lower place eye
in memories
tapering lane's
and appearance
arrival
in instance welcome
mind stories.

Autumn bequeaths
chestnut dappled
ethereal forests
graciously hued in
jeweled kaleidoscope leaves
migrating north on
primeval quiet
river snow
tapering under
violet winter's
xeroxed yielding zenith.

Trump's Toppings Topple
trump tries to think tank
that today's tomorrow thrives
thankfully to thee
tending the tree tops
trump trumpets thee's theory
thy timbers topple
to the thereafter
thy tapering tears thunder
trump's think tank twaddle's

Alliteration
dangling daggers of frozen spears
crystal cylinders tapering toward fears
the sun will loosen their icy grip
plunging to earth as frozen fingers slip
shattering upon the cold earth below
embedded into the melting snow
wondrous spirals once hanging high
careful below you could lose an eye

Shoreward she wafts
faint smile flutters next her lips
wave-enveloped, lurid flesh revealed
enigmatic, wind-whipped ballet...
Ghostly arms, tapering to a scepter-finger
limbs commence, melt into silent surf
cruel lips, melt into silent surf
whisper, "Love me, Disembody, Love me"

Blue bird,
you perch on trees,
by the forest's far rim.
Dressed in silk robes of sapphire hues,
with tapering tail and a bill so sleek,
singing in melodious strains,
your sweet notes ringing loud.
How I love you,
Blue bird.

surreal
God's movie set
escape to a scape from another world
huge boulders, goofy cacti
comical scrub trees with tapering
barrel trunks
thousands of tiny thorny arms
And little furry creatures
scampering across the roadway
dodging the pizza man
as the sun set
the full moon rose
and the art director
above it all
painted everything
in pinks and purples
and fiery reds

Like Ken, ever on his last sail -
a soul slipper asway on gales …
Some loves shall lead these ending days
Tapering the winding display ~
High mountain air before lungs crush
Umpteen stars to drink ‘fore eyes hush
Rivers cold to shiver the numb
Rivers bold will quiver to dumb
Away, away, this last hurray
Hie now to float the scented way ~

LADDER TO THE SOUL
Tapering tall trees of pine
Cathedral high to the sky
Soft shades of green soothe the eye
Captures the heart, melts the mind
Slender ladder to the soul
Do not think it’s just a tree
It’s a strong and mighty force
Bares the source to set you free

Lyric
Susan's neck was like a swan's -
the first you noticed...
white and tapering,
with a white necklace.
Sometimes you found yourself
looking at her neck
instead of eyes or mouth.
It was strangely done!
You soon lost the drift
of what she said,
for her neck had a life of its own,
shifting, not trusting you or anyone.

Lyric
Carrying humor in the eyes,
there goes summer....
of it goes with its bright morning....
with its sweaty noons.....
with the tapering evenings....
Cool evening breeze,
giving pleasure to the eyes....
giving pleasure to the body....
still with humor in its eyes...
the flooding evening....
Raining hard for hours,
washing the day's pain away....
changing the signs....
with darkness in the sky's bosom...
there goes the summer...

Blank verse
Sightless staring from the window
into the gaping jaws of darkness,
slowly snapping shut
in cataclysmic silence.
Nightfall drops a veil
on daylight’s tapering play;
crushed diamond velvet
closes shark-like in stealth.
Sandman’s stun-gun fires a kiss
at eyelids swept with tears;
winding down this body clock,
shutters drawn on pain.
If dreams are all the life there is,
then let them collapse the sky
to still the mouths and yellowed teeth
of sleeping dogs left to lie.

the punch of the first note
the sound of your name
the sight of the number
invokes an ocean of emotion
the tickle of a memory
the hint of a smile tugging lips
the ache of a heart
what remains is just reminiscing
the last word
the last laugh
the last time
marks passing bisection of our worlds
the hourglass grains sliding away
the slipping grasp on affection
the tapering conversation
history repeats itself
but the consecutive will never be the same

the tapering horizon
is patched with pink and gray
and their threads are sewn
into the blue and white ceiling of the day
a twisted grandfather tree
has branches gnarled in every way
and the symphony of spring grass
places ripples on the meadow as it plays
the three daisies before me
move about with the wind and do ballet
while I only have these words
of black and white to try and convey
these ever-changing colors that
are bundled by nature’s blossoming bouquet

Rhyme
Like a late afternoon afterthought,
a sudden, heavy downpour drenches
and floods the parched marshland.
Here and there, across what once was
a mirror lake, wet grasses cast swaying,
tapering shadows in the dying light.
As the skyline fades into the twilight,
exultations throaty and raucous echo
from new puddles, fresh waterholes.
Shrill jubilations of insects and night birds
fill the air, rejoicing over a sense of rebirth
in the aftermath of a rainy afterglow!
