spawning new generation
hurdling paws of death...

The terra firma
A domain which teems with life.
Sans it, landbound die....

steamy marshland teems
breeding mosquitos and flies
stagnate brown water

clever squirrels prance
chattering at passing cars
Park teems with people

I have no sense of dread
The veil has lifted
Sorrow is gone
My heart teems with life anew
The sun has returned
And daisies bloom again...

the golden field 
i wander
teems with life
like your naked body
teems with life.
i close my eyes
and listen to the 
song you sing.
i think of the joy 
and happiness
your love brings...

 the climax of spring
             explodes with its shades of green
                      nature teems with life

We rest together by the sea
In a bower filled meadow on high,
And he shares musings intimately
While a magical breeze teems nearby
sliding through words through breath’s air
That enters my songs ,a beat that glides
As hearts lay bare on moon’s prayer,
For silence knows what love implies....

Elixir of life
Paramount to living souls.
Sans it, endless strife.

The terra firma
A domain which teems with life.
Sans it, landbound die.

Air, the gentle breeze
A clot of gas we hold dear.
Sans it, woe betide.

Water, land, air
Gifts of god precious art they
Need them be destroyed?...

Gramps' backyard teems with spiced herbs,
Peaches for offspring's  dining,
With youngsters piping chorales.

A garden fount stands blithely
Misting potent soil of lawn-
Where lights bathe nature's display 

To honor Gram's memory.

A soft warm breeze dissipates the mist of early dawn,
Beneath a clump of cottonwood, I see a lone fawn,
Birds glide above fluffy clouds as the bright sun climbs high,
Silvery lake teems with fish as swans and ducks float by.
Nature has dressed my home with all its best finery.
I get my paints to capture that sparkling scenery....

Rainbow spectrum hue teems; colour path beams
Flow among the streams; forming back, white dreams   
Fantasy within seams; fey air it seems 
A life with themes;   verse quest forward in reams
Go forth with loud screams; sublime self-esteem
Taking sunbeams; blessing our Lord’s supreme

The oceans surface
Able to soothe or destroy
Tranquil til it's not

Just as the sea bed
Teems with life and creation
Yet smothers sleepers

Yearn to catch a wave
Riding high as if tamed waves
No one can control

Carry me away
Purge me of my troubled soul
As I sway gently

By day the sea calls my name
Promises to rid of shame

Wrote for contest but forgot I'd already entered it :)...

A smoldering ember lying in wait
tossed thoughtlessly from the window
of a racing car.
The parched forest floor teems with life
now waits as it grows
slowly at first then quickly
with it's own agenda...
to consume everything it touches.
It is fanned by the zephyr
running wildly through the hills
it ebbs and flows with the land
taking homes and lives alike
stopping only at the water's edge.
It has only one name...
wildfire....

To see you flash a smile to blush
Small twinkle in your eyes of green
I look and want for that scene
Watching from my hidden brush
I think I might have a crush
My heart overflows and teems
Can this lust ever be weaned
I settle on your desk like dust

An inkling you must have old friend
I’ve seen the way you stare
I’m trying to look back at you
Reciprocate what you send
Glancing back, am I that fair
Pasdiin is always a dare....

         Take my outstretched hand...
     Come away with me, my dearest.
       There is a special place for us...
  Our paradise; a wondrous departure 
    From this crazy, maddening world.
 There, we'll be lost in a world of magic 
Let's escape beyond the rainbow's end 
    And be free to happily float about 
 With abandon like carefree butterflies.
 'Tis a peaceful Xanadu only we know.
It teems with such beauty and wonder

Strange this seems
	To be suddenly want
When I felt so alone for so long.
Now my mind teems
	‘tis an emotional jaunt
Perhaps I was viewing myself all wrong.

Away from them all
	I would usually hide
Afraid to show my true face.
Sometimes I’d bawl
	Crying out my pride
But, now I’m suddenly finding my place.

Echo’s in my mind
	From the old me
Scream at me to shun them all.
Now I find
	From the input I see
It was only me making me fall....

Caught inside a painting,
A Rembrandt, made of her family's hopes and dreams

Searching for happiness,
Within a two dimensional canvas, little scope there seems

Outside the colours,
Someone captivated by her beauty, hearing her empty screams

Only for the key,
Longing to be outside, he opens the door and beams

Filled with intrepidation,
Beckoning “come outside”, his love for her it teems

She turns away,
For others she must stay, hiding from her dreams....

I walk an ancient path of dreams
Through sylvan lands with silver streams
Ahead I see the bright moonbeams
Behind, the snow-capped mountain gleams

Mysterious feelings expose what seems
Venerable Woods with dread extremes
Air so still tranquility screams

Terror within my soul now teems
No longer sure of what redeems.
