shallow veil shrouding
threaded dreams woven deeply
virtuous disguise...

Threaded in silence
strings of golden looks and sparks
braid my eyes to yours....

thread
         needle
     we sewed love
      truly threaded
          sewn...

Her serenading siren voice
As soft as her pale thighs.
Her sweater threaded so nice
As blue as her bright eyes....

The clearer the speech
the deeper its woven
A spinning wheel threaded
—looming divine

Collect memories 
Threaded with delicacy
Softened with the love
Obtained with true forgiveness
Caressing the soul and mind...

Cheeks: apple skin shined
Hair: flaxen golden threaded
Lips: petulant pout
Eyes: dark sea currents whetted
Date: Circa 1903....

LIFE

The road of life twists and coils
Occasionally doubling back on itself
Threaded through convoluted 
Tangles of happiness and pain...

Snow drop moonshine 
     star threaded 
           blanket;

       Partied hard; 
        Squandered 
         your light 
 elevating in dreams....

Tapestry woven of words
Threaded together with quality 
Rapture erupting when read

Threaded
seams emboss leaves
glistening new flowers
of fragrant May.
 
Springtime
adorns the view,
a quilt sewn by nature
and  tender God.

When they break in.
Weave me back together

Love threaded spindle heart;
Needle tongue

Stringing me up like puppeteers;
Keeping these pieces of my heart together....

Orange, black, and white
Keep it pulled down tight.

Sits on my head with pride
Taking care of my uncombed hair
Ageing with daily wear
Threaded with the letters OSU
Eskimo Joe wears one too....

logic evolved
to become...

as mental sew-wings
such that thoughts...

threaded meant what
was seen...

in some 'now' scene
that be as of...

some picked-sures
pictured...

Juvenile bride to be is nervous 
Nervous in her bridal shower
White ivory wedding gown
Pearl and rhinestone threaded
In crown tiara
Waiting the day
To wed with
Her dear
Prince

I see a kite flies 
Easy, threadless in the skies, 
Down, down to its doom. 
One, threaded, higher does rise, 
Freedom’s not just too much room.

TRIAD IN 7 BEATS


                    As glistening pearl droplets
                   Threaded opal around neck
                   Crisp rain molecules beckon

I’ve threaded my fingers and turned my body into beads.
Like a necklace I was strung and now she wears me ‘round her throat.
Everyone compliments her new accessory.
They say it suits her perfectly; 
 they’ve never seen a better match.
They can’t tell I’m wearing her down....

Threaded history - boney fingered
Ancestries woven connections,
Stitched brail of wordless inscriptions
Meaningless decorative presence
Saturated with the timeless reverence of
Boney fingered storytellers.

Her gown of sprouting green, sleeves of new leaves
Jade shade illuminates fresh summer rain
Woven gossamer silk on turquoise trees
Threaded through her mare's alabaster manes
Planting gold hope along emerald lanes
November mists persists in chartreuse dawn
With aspirations to sage Avalon.

I steal a little line
From here …or ….there
A half a quote
Still in its underwear
Then weave these words
Into a threaded quilt
Sign my name
Feel a bit of guilt
For without straw
The bricks
Are just wet silt.

So, mix your mortar thick
Feed passion’s need
To hide within its grip
Its pilfered seed....

Gray air.
Silent lair.
Rain: needles threaded
threaded with liquid despair.

Old man. Chair.
Window bare.
Suffers existence
with time to spare.

Life behind.
Daily grind.
Wealthy: healthy
state of mind.

Arthritic form.
Barometric norm.
Tears: who left the child
out in the storm.

           Fried chicken
                 And

           sun screen’d
               nimble

The evil teeth of summer have chewed
me and raked me and made my skin sere
Sleepless nights have sucked my soul
and caused me many a nighttime tear

Then one day I feel it, a faint puff of air
Fall is threaded through it like a fantasy
Soon the leaves will change to russet
We will enjoy wonderful Autumn ecstasy...
