Short Voile Poems

Brilliant gold, sunlight streaming
Creeping leisurely ‘cross my bed
Filtering through the blue/white voile
Soft lips murmuring- beautiful smile breaking
Sleepy eyes flutter - open
Blink….hmm...left over delicious dream!...

Olive wore a wedding dress of lilac voile

Her groom gave a beaming smile
When she glided down the aisle

Peter persistently proposed… Peter’s patience prevailed!

An open window,
                                Sheer voile curtains blow,
                             Patterned by musing shadows;
                                Reflecting rambling vines,
                             Kissed by the provocative sun.

      Mine eyne be converted 
                   Blind

                   gently

When the temperature soars
   My Muse is cranky and cross
Whether in or out of doors
   Meter and rhyme are quite lost

My head heavy, I'm bored
   Sweat pours off my chin
Hunched over the keyboard
   What a funk I am in

To slumber I yield
   I nod off for a bit
My fate surely sealed
   Poetry, I quit...

Yet switch on the a/c
   And, voile! A new me!
To the delight of my Muse --
   Cool air lights her fuse!...

What a dream
it was that done
in silk or organdy
as light as the wind ...
What a shower of poetry
had you to rain,
when you inebriated
in clerical verses ...
when you painted the
soul of the pages in
white and pallor
 borrowed from the moon...?
Why didn't you come in
in my world with
the ethereal clothing that
I gave you ...?
Not linen or voile,
but dream silk ...
didn't you realize
who loved you?
oh! I still love you
girl ... how do you
I still love ...!...
