subjection,

It trickles
From high in the mountains
Before it makes  its thunderous roar

Then like an anaconda it slithers onward
Dolphins can be heard laughing in its  vast waters

Many other species call it home

Egotism 
is far from altruism,  
it's sustained by a glory so vain and fragile; 
amassing wealth as the impulsive imbecile... 
shunning a guilt so perceptible. 
Their riches were to be shared by many: 
to prosper, love and pray 
trustfully....

Another Lover beneath our covers,
So many limbs entwined!
Does he prefer me, or the other;
Does he know how much I pine
For his touches; tender kisses?
A secret battle for his embraces,
For his fondness, my Heart, it wishes!
And for our mate to be displaced......

White eyed gulls
Soar over crimson tides
As masked butterflyfish swim below

Flocks of migratory birds gather on its banks
Providing a feast for Ospreys and Sparrow hawks

Pharoah's  chariots lay at its depths
Ghostly souvenirs of
The Red Sea...

Autumn Menage A Trois


A Menage a trois of
Cascading leaves flow gently
on the pumpkin lawn

Dance happily free
In harvest gold festival
Autumn leaves serene

Illusions of scenes
fire flaming scarlet leaves
withering on stairs.

Tragedy
Taken too soon from me
The smell of liquor hangs in the air

He left the neighborhood bar far too drunk to care
She was on her way home from the arts and crafts fair

He comes out, of course, feeling no pain
She will not love again
Life in vain...

White Daisies
Blown by the soft breeze yield
Downy petals flow malleable

Brave pressures of nature designed to be able
Designed by God is very good acceptable
Sturdy stems golden scented center

The pollen presenter
Field enter

Summer bloom,
soaked in grey moonlit gloom,
among sighs of eerie copper sky.

Slowly rises dawn, 
sweeping off darkness thereby,
splashing infectious smiles weaving purple reply, 

dew drops await in lingering veil,
whispering in detail,
nightly tale.

the river
in which I learned to swim
along which I practiced my driving

frozen mass where my dad dared to walk in his youth
waterway where my grand paw taught me about boats

daily crossing this tributary
I live on and love the

a trois-par-huis

clouds and moon
shift with design in tune
matching moves in a star-studded sky

lovers, enchanted in heart and soul, simply sigh 
skipper guides his vessel with careful hand and eye

celestial infatuation
nighttime navigation

Eskimo
sweet pet I came to know -
small hyper-active dog, snowy white.

He lay to sleep by my feet on my bed at night.
Loyal and loving, though not bright!
Times with him could not be happier!

I miss my "gem" of fur,
Ollyver.

An egg’s hatched.
The eagle swoops in search,
For quarry to carry in its pick.

The shell cracks; emerges outwards slowly the chicks.
They shuffle tenderly with cautious steps and flicks.
The eagle smiles post a quick survey.

Finds one shell for both prey;
Flies away.

White crosses
show a thousand loses
row upon row of wars destruction

each one a voice of reproach and accusation
felt in the tears of a families devastation
heard in each graves silence

a humankind offense
Man's pretense

Give me you
With feelings oh so true
I, in turn, will give you all of me
Allowing the whole world to then look and to see
How the two of us were forever meant to be
Destined for eternity to know
Love light forever glows
Our love grows

How I ache
Hoping, my love, to take
A chance with you, where we can be one
With our spirits flying into the setting sun
With our love remaining; to never come undone
I will hold you in my arms and heart
Lovers, to never part
A new start

Onyx cloak
of sunny day's baroque
lay velvet on the breast of each day,

gently caress each curvaceous earthly display 
with night tones of diamond stars, a queen's array.

Diamonds of champagne sing amends
to onyx night.. as friends
dark descends.

salted lips
brown skin sore pinked sand licked
eyes a squint in summer's reflection

oh see the sea froth in pure orgasmic delight
hear the wind stroke the breasts of crested waves to cry
taste the bounty of this fertile womb

unknown mysteries bide
with sea sons

beating wings
the night bides hidden things
comes another world under the moon

the story of magic nights in the month of June
for these mythical hearts the day will come to soon

splendid tales that innocence may weave
reality's reprieve
make believe

Moon river
encircled by craters 
moons hidden treasure on show to see 

moonlit nights you can sit and dream knowing that the
highly poisonous gases can ruin that journey

Shining blue on the moon the world sees
the Eagle landing on 
Tranquil Sea*
