Short Weltering Poems

Weltering, weltering
away at what
is so good in
life, sad to see go,
but oh so
sweet, not
sweet but
sweet, sweet
sorrow, yes
weltering sorrow...

Glistening snowflakes on  watery springs

falling down from heavens stage


making a chorus as angels sing


Heavens open to hear the sounds

of  people singing all around



sheltering tree's help critters shield

their baby's in the winters field


calling out to nature's door

hoping snow will fall no more.


But spring appears in one days time

opens up the weltering sun.

I am tasting the pristine water melted from the highest mountain up high
Dancing with the sun's rays over glazing summer's green grass
Floating with the weltering waves of a vast ocean at sunset
Riding the aborning knowledge of our next generation
Smelling the chastity of the first bud of spring bloomed with beauty and maturation
I am exploring your heart
laving your soul
sharing your thoughts
before I can love you...

Mattie & I
on the stream of
 
Soda Can 
the heavenly hills

Of Hats.
The howling husked heard;

Just The Night Owls
And the waxes of weltering wobble of worms

All In Dreams

Then:
 I rollover
And see Mattie
Swift asleep forever
And whimpering…

 Aches
And I never eat-
Till Mattie wakes-
From his sleep:

Out of the wind,
the brown carpet is marked
prosaic like petals swept away
My snowdrops weltering in the winter 
not even dead heading
can help their blind eye stalks 

I feel like a pebble
roughened at the edges
and Im gifting no one
Mother nature has unearthed me
My eyes remain shut
I finger past the muddy morass
I feel blazed over
from the cityscape of lingering dreams

Not even the recurring home
joyous and warm
feels my pockets
I am a sunbaked bun...
