Tincture of madness
That gives birth to great genius
Dazzles mortal eyes.

silver strands cascade
shape enduring mossy rocks
a tincture woodland

aromatic and deep mahogany
decoction swirled with steam
a cupped nectar of rebirth
morning glimpses of heaven
first sip a remembrance
nuanced tincture
delicate demitasse
mmm...Mine...

A tincture
of anguish drips
 inside your mouth-
 held back
when you should scream
and only have yourself 
to hear.

Deep cut
Blood stains
Pain punctures


Iodine bites
Torn flesh
Scar tissue

Healing begins

Oh but it was such a glorious day
When the gods first took the curds from the whey!
Sprinkled some salt and a tincture of time
Aging the mix with a splash of enzyme
Giving to mortals what English call cheese
Pair it with wine and my palate agrees!

 end of Haviland
stilled kickstands & spokes of Schwinn
our teen shapely thighs
after school books are returned
and mind wanders down the road

chill in Summer heat
orange & vanilla twist
creamsicle in cone
the yield of sweet and tincture
melting on curbside tongues

Speck of deliriousness..
Craving for love..
And feeling is peachy..
I've been around..
For a long time..
Feels like I should take a halt..
Soury moments..
There's a tincture of salt..
Friends say i shall place..
My heart in your chest..
Well i guess it'd be better..
Just if I took care of the rest.....

Light vanished upon her leaving
with the final grip of dusk--
the perfume of asters wisping softly
and I am alone, gone
into the restless clang from winds booming;
a melody which makes noises louder
than my roars--
and within the luster of stars,
not a tincture eases this heart.

Let love light
Pulse and sight


Let joy stream
Craft and dream


Let peace stay
Dance and way


Let bold poise
Sign and voice


Let words move
Charm and groove


Let heart know
Fate and show


Let touch feel
Way and will


Let prize fit 
Touch and wit


Let charm cheer
Now and here

She recycled the flowers as they lay in their beds.
She recycled the gown in which she once wed.
She recycled her food so that others were fed.
She recycled her tires once they lost their tread.
She recycled those thoughts that were stuck in her head
and she wove them in words as they rapidly spread.
They tore thru tendons and sank in sinews, forming a
tincture of rhythm and blues....

Visit New Mexico,
she says... diamond cut sea
colored skies, a white

bursting. Sparkles. Reach
for these silver crests; gather-
birds soaring. Enspheres.

Orange tincture of
the peels loosening.Cruer
trickling down your

hands shaped like these peeled
spectral trees. Edges. Claws, clenched.
Titian dresses

the denuded bark:
sunlit ornaments. Deserts.
Bloodshot cast wings. Clots....

A golden tincture to the sky
as to the west it goes its way,
last fleeting glance of the sun’s eye
ere night-time comes to wrest the day.

Sat tired within my garden there
high on a tree an anthems sung,
 a feathered lovechild of the airr
affirming joy of life on wing.

Its song more permanent than I
though I may think to own the tree
it cares not and all change defies
for that small bird owns liberty....

The color of purple the many run off’s of blue
 Purple and red skies a view with a passionate hue

Lilac’s, violet’s lavender’s, in blossom
Spring kisses and sweet scents how assume 

A deep purple Amethyst stone of February 
A color as old as history 

Treasured by Kings and Queens as the color of royalty
Purple the color with feeling and personality 
 
A tincture between red and blue
Below a field of purple flower’s that blew...

ANACREONTIC VERSE

Clouds whisper
Smiling up there
Birds are flying
With the morning air
Sun shines bright
So as the trees
Everyone dances
Celebrating its
Heavenly beauty
Its color rages
Every daytime
That’s why it is loved
By every man
Beautiful blue sky
A symbol of hope
Paint the whole world
With your tincture 
Which defines
True happiness 
Make the world bright
Outshine darkness
Pretty blue sky
Don’t fall asleep
Shine bright up there
Watch us down here...
