Windless moon
Returning to that wilderness
Foraging for her food...

She smells like flowers
in summer hot and windless
when petals fall...

The headstones,
At their 
Silent graves,
Whisper to
The windless caves...

pristine mountain lake 
windless sky is cobalt blue -
two eagles share heart...

The muddy water creek-ing along pines
meandering, windless scene
absurd, acerbic, honed.

Noiselessly floating-
on those silky windless wings
in life's brief moment.

. . . crisp, shrill, crickets' chirp

                windless, arid, lazy days

                        mirage, noontime haze . . ....

Opinion,
  shapes the 
  aftermath
  of what once was free

A commentary of 
  detainment,
  adrift
   —on a windless sea

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)...

this city behind my eyes has
  a population of one.

 windless sidewalks swept clean, 
 empty houses, empty streets.

  this city behind my eyes is
  so empty and so clean....

windless waves of whirling stars
breathless unicorn dreams
morning fog clari-forms clear
mindful maelstroms melt
present ten se promises placed
braveheart beliefs burgeoning
unconditional utter...

Above the fire 

Next to 

The gnarled 

Moose head 

Single snowshoe 

Desert varnish 

Dry window 

Cold 

Air 

Windless 

White 

Night 

Snowshoe tracks 

Deep within my heart...

A windless rain,
Poring of green,
Effervescent kisses,
Pigment on the lips.

Concupiscence silence,
Every moment it whispers,
Voiceless vacuum,
Like the noise of silk clothing,
Or leaves blowing in the wind....

The well is dry hear the bucket sound
As its metal hits the dry ground
From the windless let way down
No ker-splash was there found
Dip the pen in ink 
Far did it sink
So so far
Dry, dry
Clink ...

quivering wings
on windless day
in flowers sway
hummingbird moth

drops of nectar
glisten in sun
rainbow colors
unfold the dawn

Every dune set a windless descent
when we let it
No moon a path without us
Crafted perfection no dents
Turning windmills required
our smiles
The wind's own motion felt you...
uncovered

...you left me,
unsound and frail...

The Eagle

An
eagle
in a tree
cocking its head
scans its surroundings
searching for meat to eat
amid the torridity
under a cloudless summer sky
while the sun’s rays reflect from the lake
on a windless day in the wilderness....

I watched a flower closely, 
on a windless day;
startled, when at first 
I saw it sway.
Staring close, 
I watched in disbelief
a ladybug, 
scampering on its leaf.
I realized then, 
that flowers are like we.
they giggle when they’re tickled, 
for all the world to see....

Flakes sparkling 'round the lamppost's glow 
Floating softly on a windless night 
First snow watcher's- peep through the window 
Fading footprints white on white 
From midnight's stroller's- 'neath the light

Land uses dress style
according to the climate. . . .
changing with seasons

Ocean is moody
chilling with a windless day. . . .
raging with tempests

Ocean does not care
how land looks or if she’s rough. . .
he hugs her shoreline

A butterfly with wings frail
Rises heavenward against the wind
Witnessing life’s conflicting direction
Floating constantly upward
What chrysalis owned you?
How solitary is your world?
Alone each day
A silent, windless end
Fly, butterfly, fly!
Why accept this knowing
You can soar out of the rain
Into the sunny world
Of Love...

The windbag fiddler
felt windless and
bent idling nigh
some trees.

It was after a time
had spent that
he heard an
amazing
sound.

A frog was propped
half-way upon his 
fiddle strummed
all the way up
and down to
the ground.

Musical chords are 
timely struck and
all the while the
windless aka
windbag just
fiddle idle....

September evening.

late September, the eve
is hot and windless
to warm for walking
as darkness descends 
dust on pavements and
fallen leaves bear witness
to nature's tiredness
the local shop saves light
ashen faces
optimistic summer tan
does not last long
a folded plastic bag
four bottles of beer, please 
and crisp

As tiny globes they float,
Wearing a rainbow coat,
Filled with young breath they glow,
The soap bubble dreams we blow.

Pop! They burst with stranger’s touch,
In the windless sky, away from our clutch.

...Life is rife with lies we tweak,
A hideout from our miseries!
Flightless wings and wailing dreams,
Are a kick back to reality!...

Hey smiler a tear comes from your soul’s gate
In cherish of ephemeral memories captions of time
Leafs like snowdrops on a windless day
Laid to rest internal peace
Whilst noise resounds on beaten pump

Days to weeks
Weeks to years
Years to decades
Till a century brings forgotten

A faint aroma of yesteryears
A faint aroma of yesteryears...

Lips kiss and whisper
Transmute our power
Create windless tunnels
Tornado of faith
Blizzard of hate
Summer of love
Signal decay
Tell me it is the end
And I have gone too far
Autumn has begun
An eclipse revealing
our black star.
Divulge the truth
Her Transpiration
Explodes the sun.
Cold winter
exists within
unsaid words
we are destined
To rule our worlds...
