You brought me a translucence 
of amber for my burnished bouquet.
Love was an ebullience of golden wheat,
our laughter a resplendence of sunflowers.

the daybreak's amber translucence 
          weaves through the window curtain
                    like lustrous satin

that drapes and falls on the ruffled folds
          on the bed, as I let your whisper
                    sink so slowly in......

Whispered breaths, gentle breeze, blushing hearts of sanguine hue
Wings aflutter of gossamer lace, pure, gentle, delicate and true
Luminous lucence, crystalline glow, soft translucence and heavenly bloom
Beautiful glimmer in radiant sweetness, all the splendor that is you...

The scene,translucence transformed now seen and heard.Each inflection
injected with pregnant pause where accent and dialect and emphasis brings clarity of thought.Voiced alone,words once dead,  black on white,now rest within the hearer’s ear.Once imagined sounds,a unique reality....

translucence captures

                   the flame’s shadow on a screen

                                    made from bamboo and velvet

                   the wick cradles fragrance

                                           sweet candle kindles pheromones

..the daybreak's

        amber translucence 

               weaves through 

        the window curtain

like lustrous satin


that drapes and falls 

        on the ruffled folds

                of the bed, as I let 

        your whisper sink 

slowly, slowly in..

His skin was pale peach translucence to my closed eye touch
like brushing my fingertips along a pane of warmed antique glass
or the surface of a late summer pond
we flowed over the valleys of each other ...down the estuaries
across the plains
covering the mystical landscape with shimmering crystal white velvet 
and leaving tracks of light behind...

Again the winter woman comes
Noble blood of Norman sons

Exquisite and bawdy
Tresses falling frosty

The contents of my battle helm 
Her cosmic cryogenic realm

Each eve she bear her chill to me
She'll have my oath and bended knee

Illumine blue and translucence
She is a truthful illusion

Eyes dusky clear
By what gate does she enter here?...

Zeitgeist translucence


The spirits are unseen to those who have not felt their presence.
The non-believers will never see them, if they remain faithless.
Without a Heaven to look forward to,
We would have no reason to live right.
God sent us a message of peace; we use it to fight.
We are no longer made of starlight.

RECITED EKPHRASIS
The scene,translucence transformed
now seen and heard.Each inflection
injected with pregnant pause where
accent and dialect and emphasis brings clarity 
of thought.Voiced alone,words once dead,
black on white,now rest within the hearer’s
 ear.Once imagined sounds,a unique reality.

When snow falls like leaves through liquid
Sunshine abstractions slow on lakes recline
Soundless for the first time in their tiny lives
Cold but never bitter as they drift
That is when light lifts them bold
To fill in the missing particles
Sparkled in their turn as they float down
Transformed translucence as a mystery
There to blend in with waters of the lake
Carried off without mistake...

I'm immersed in deep thought pondering circular
shallow things
Our world is a shallow but deep place with many 
layered fire rings
Are we in hell dreaming of heaven waiting for a 
chance to be redeemed?
Or are we in purgatory purging sins studying life
& its themes?
Wake from the slumber & wipe your eyes to take 
control of your lucid dream
See through the translucence to gain clarity & realize
life isn't what it seems...

Listen to poem:

Ballads and candles of lyrical light
in stemmed yearning

breezes of ethereal pearl

shimmering translucence 
in a velvety damask

A celestial serenade ~
glittering gold, a halo of airy haze
An ostentatious cynosure, a wispy elixir

Calcite talismans and ethereal melody.
The cosmos is in harmony

zingy zest blasts in sapphirelike gaze
A flow dashed over the scary abyss.
an emollient erstwhile fugacious lyric...

Horrible Hattie had seen her own ghost
While chomping away at Porky Pig's Roast --
   She turned wan and pale
   Downed a mug of ale --
Her translucence scared Petunia the most

Hattie staggered to her feet, looked around
The room was whirling, at times upside down --
   As she started to speak
   Her teeth rattled, 'Eek 'Eek' --
Porky's wife shrieked and ran straight out of town




Note: Petunia Pig is Porky's wife. lol....

Delicate pale lavender gauze in constant fluid motion,
Tantalizing and terrible.

Finely sheer and shimmery silken strands
                        Stream liquid translucence in watery lace -
Beautiful symmetry.

Floating and gracefully pulsing beneath -
Deep in a salty underground, suspended in dusky dark.
They cluster together, shining, with myriad tentacles adrift.

Cellular       primitive          beckoning…

Gossamer jellyfish thrive....

As we finish dressing the table, the room is dizzy with aromas
and the turkey teases with a golden, honey-like translucence.

Candles, nestled in poinsettia settings, provide a flickering, golden,
almost magical light that’s refracted in windows, crystal and white tablecloth.

I hear Leeza nearby, swinging the living room with laughter. Everyone is
giddy from drink, mouth watering hunger and near impossible expectations.

I wish you all a safe, Happy, Thanksgiving....

Didn't expect it
Neither did you,
I suppose
Clear as day
Still remember
That look on
His face
Usually closed off
But not that day
Clear as glass
I do remember
It was everything
The hurt
Disbelief
Bitter envy
A touch of
Melancholic
Regret?
Do you?
Do I?
I didn't know
How to deal with that then
I don't even know
Now
Bitterly cold
Winter days
No predictions of a 
Winter wonderland
It was clear
But nothing is clear
Because I can't see
Past the horizon...

As brief as summer you swept
across my heart's desert
like a Santa Ana wind's hot caress.
Now the eastern passes
are still as virgin rocks
unto a land whispering 
of forgotten wildflowers.
In your absence marigolds bloom not
with the disappeared mockingbird.
Only as the last petals
of amaryllis wither do I ache.
You brought me a translucence 
of amber for my burnished bouquet.
Love was an ebullience of golden wheat,
our laughter a resplendence of sunflowers.
