caging in my love...

Ponders Beneath the willow

It's no feat now
Repeat fog twines  ...

Twining
Our thoughts unite
Beating hearts love as one
Capture moon beams holding your hand
Our soul

You look so fair for dwelling on,
Forever so shall I dwell,
Nor break in two the twining spell
That binds my soul to you....

delicate flowers
a blue of morning glory
twining vines with grace
my old wooden spindle fence
has no power against winds

dark night envelopes
as black shimmers hug her curves
sparkling on charcoal
the soft rays of the black pearl
twining around her hot wrist

brilliant laughter
swell the heart of desire
red lipstick kisses

pretty pouting mouth
gateway to infinity
engulf the rising

altered twining souls
rest fed within the joining
ecstasy well met...

Halloween cats are a-sneaking
From behind Jack O'Lanterns a-peeking
High tails twining in the moonlight
They think they are a fright
Drinking with the wrong ghostly ilk
Too much catnip in their milk...

silky, shapely, shameless seductress, swaying

   tantalizing, torrid, entangled twining

      languid, luxe, libidinous, luscious luncheon ~

we grew together
in fits and starts,
twisting and twining,
two damaged hearts
drinking in rain drops,
seeking the sun,
climbing and weaving,
but never as one
no lattice to cling to,
no wall to adorn,
strangling and choking,
a life we now mourn...

Passion fish and apple dots and gold stamps kissing mountain tops.
Wood deserts and cat tail suits and flowers licking parachutes.
Marble caves and lemonade, I think I'll join the light brigade.
Candle mice are twice as nice as gold fish orange twining....

Love is not a rose
But like the bush
On which it grows.

Stems with prickly skins
Tangle and twist
To upward grow.

You paint bright the blooms;
I tithe the thorns
To twining grow.

Given green petals,
And half a chance,
Love’s bush will grow....

Spring
has come,
and bees buzz
butterflies float
and hummer's hover.
My garden is blooming
with bright wildflowers and green,
vines twining, creeping here and there. 
Baskets of yellow, red, orange .... sway,
oh, Spring, I do adore you please do stay !...

your kisses burnt in the
banks of the
holy ri-
ver
sprouts and grow tall
embracing green
tendril twining trees
your sighs buried in the
depth of the  belly of
the remorseful earth
rises and enhance  the clouds
weeping sky
rain in the flowers
of my down-
trodden
grave...

PHOTOGRAPHS

Past to present flashes,
priceless pages of life
physically twining
perpetual moments:
personalities smiles,
passing squirms! Jumps! Cries! Clicks!
Portrait heirlooms of LOVE...

Twilight comes too fast,
moral shadows closing in.
As I run from my past,
they all know my sin.

Twining 'bout my ankles,
tangling in my hair.
Trying to trip and mangle,
no on promised life is fair.

Emotions now run cold,
so easy not to care.
Though grappling for my soul,
they know that I'm not there....

Diametric …
art and commerce
Twining symbols
colors adverse
 Yin & Yang
divergent segues 
Each stigmatic
 bloddy payday
Fraternal image
Louvre / Montmartre
Black tie bidding
cobbled heart
A poor man sings
a rich man vies 
On bartered canvas
 —truth defies

wisteria bines
wrap around a rustic fence -
counterclockwise cling
     a robin weaves through raceme
     its wee pretty wings giddy

bines - a twining stem

raceme (ray-seem) - a flower cluster with the separate flowers attached by short stalks at equal distances along a central stem....

Neptune will cry for our death 
Fragments of sea blood 
Temblor of regards 
Condolences from Poseidon 
Exhaling ciaos, inhaling mists 
And all else Jupiter, once more 
 
All yellow bleeds fire 
None could inhume his dolour 
Grams of sorrow, forcely collected 
Twining clouds and forming seas 
Autarkic trumpets would sing  
As colors received by Uranus...

Fear is a fatal flower that blooms in every breast,
twining its vicious tendrils to choke hope's infant rest.
Fear bears a bitter fruitage, a wine of black despair;
hope, drunken, weaves the linen to shroud her dying heir.
Fear is the devil's vintage of desecrated years;
but Jesus treads the winepress and His love casts our Fear.

Dramatic saffron blaze melts away
Twining  around  into  the  skyline. 
Whispers of sounds and dreams drift in play
Soul soothing scene as time sweeps its fine
Crisp spring breath stroking and nibbling wisps,
Wild  embroidered  idyllic  meadows.
Zest  only  pleasures  left  with  a  lisp 
Which lingers beneath saffron shadows.

she sits on my shoulders, wrapping, twining
long legs warm round my neck
so tight at times, I cannot
breath

she looks long in my eyes
deep and intent
past the glass as if to discover
everything
to pull it all up, to
study it

is truth a product of vanity, some kind of
futility
as is said
sometimes

I see nothing unless it sees me
and she is so much of my system
right now...

orange-caramel color
steeps into the lotus mug
flower and the leaves
cherry like candy
lifts from the golden liquid
left hand round the waist, hold hands
with the handle, lip
pressed to the rim, intimate
serendipitous-savor
the flavor of rose
petals and hips, cinnamon
apple, almond and cherry
sipping oolong slow
over lips and tongue, twining
in chimera happiness
might open eyes to bonsai...

the sky is a hazy blue sea today
and a breeze touches the tree tops
and they sway like emerald waves
oh, there is a perfect silence ...
though hidden birds chatter and twitter
and my flowers tremble
while others are ...  perfectly still
and my hanging 
ivy is creeping and twining 
and somewhere a wind chime
pings once 
and a white gull glides
