yellow light flickers

    from candles grouped together

            ... the storm rages on...

green branches swaying
stop in the high yellow light
move again like thieves

Pink
Purple
Blue and green
Yellow light rays;
Such are the rainbows
When the sky smiles
Upside down;
We smile
Too.

A silent parade of spice and steam above me
Glasses of water glimmer like crystals in a cave
Low yellow light melts over me 
“May I take your order?”...

The heart evokes love
Placed upon with gentle breeze
Softly waving hair
Through the night in yellow light
Calming hand placed upon mine

Sunshine, the seaside
A Gauche
Living with bliss
Moon in sunlight
Boots stepping
Familiar life
Reading foreignly
Stalling, calling.
Eat it.
Beat it....

                bright yellow light bulbs
               forsythia blooms in town
                   map of guiding light

Hearing of death he was sick simply we say
When he was sick what is the attention we pay? 
Sick is yellow light before the red it may
Being together is cure with sick always stay!...

from beyond his
vibrant palette
that bore all his 
lifelong scars

is what I see
beneath his sky
and myriad
of stars

a scene of shades
and silhouettes
formed by the
yellow light

that hints at
The Last Supper
at that café 
in the night?...

Night and day,
	oceans and mountains,
			fishes and birds,
				forests and fountains,
tender shoots, first buds,
	gentle warmth, yellow light,
		bright waters tumbling down,
			sounds of singing all around:

First breath, first days;

Isn’t it good?
Very good.

GOOD MORNING SUNRISE


morning springs sunshine
how often do you come shine
radiant gleams beaming straight
beautiful golden
hues red brighten yellow light
morning good morning sunrise

NATURAL LIGHT
landscapes
 lit
 by yellow light
 dramatic scenes
  preserved
but
fade over
 outside
to
sit alongside
the picturesque


there are
signs of
life
to reach
 beneath
an effect
still visible
surfacing
to reveal
the early days
of
an
image moved...

Yellow- Light feet and lighter hearts, moving together, stepping apart
Red- Dancers moving in graceful, Eternal motion
Blue- The cycles of life are blending, flowing
Green- Arms and hands are linked, each one guiding and grounding the next
Purple- Never ending motion, binding us all as one....

I watched the fox reclaim our street 
and bask in sunny spot 
where people used to meet.
He’s top dog now in open sight, 
where once he slipped
between the shadows of the night, 
between the bins, behind the wall, 
between the street lamp’s yellow light.
No stealth now. No fuss. No fear at all....

under the tree of eternal wisdom
yellow light rays of the lazy sun
waiting for the eggs
here we are
aching tissues of white fibres
stretching like a blue snake 
a red fly lands on my feet
and breaks into a broad 
smile an old leaf flutters 
down in slow motion in
front of me languidly
we were welding our souls...

The moon and I
are alone on this night
in the dim yellow light
the mist mixes
strudels like
dead insects
bits of rotting bait
ciggy butts
fish guts

Bottle tops swim
glisten as they swirl
in the pounding waves
across my sunken trawler

The moon and I
are still alone
at first light
no land
no rescue boat
in sight....

tell me, what do you read past midnight?
sat by the window in yellow light?
I see lips move on your silhouette,
what you read remains mystery yet,
is it pretend read so can watch you?
or your way to say you love me too!

Onward to march come morning light
to reach the withering heights 
of wild wisteria
climbing walls of dawn 
splashed orange and yellow light

At river's edge a pace falls fast 
silver flecks and diamond shards
gleam hopeful rays 
of sun drenched song 
in harmony to sing along

______

Prisms of light 
Doorways
Unlatched
From a ledge
I leap in flight...

Global Warming
1:
planet’s yellow light
shards of ice slow river’s flow -
wet dreams in winter

2:
pieces float seaward
season’s broken spirit weeps –
humpty dumpty earth

3:
glaciers slide downhill
seasonal creep advancing -
uncertain future

4:
man’s season fading
haikus yellow stains on snow -
postcards mailed to self

The old man's hands are shaking as he places the tattered paper on his table. Taking the pen he tries to lay down his words of regret to his children and grandchildren. The yellow light from the old lamp reflects on the tears dripping on the paper. He lays down the pen and tells himself he'll try again some other day.

A Shadorma


 Morning breaks,
sunrise smiles its light
upon the land;
coffee cup
full of liquid brown lava,
caffeine rush.

Cotton clouds,
sauntering slowly
across sky,
powder blue
in an orange-yellow light,
morning dawns.

Breakfast down,
scrambled eggs, French toast,
butter ooze
upon tongue;
writing down my sunrise thoughts;
a bird sings.

Sitting and watching the sun take a sink,
Haloed by a golden yellow light,
The breeze blowing gently, 
I'm in my best of times,
I’m in my elements,
Calmness streams through my members,
The best silence 
that sedates my ruffled mind,
A happy lonesome and tranquil time,
My moments before the chaos and havoc,
My diversion before the war and missiles attack,
I seek a home in a new homeland.

Let me burn in this paradise,
Fill my chest with butterflies…

A fate with no restrict
Thrills of rapture and perplexities in a mix

Whisper those sweet sultry rasps
With that smile I love so much 

Subtle savor of your lips to your fingertips,
Give me something I don’t wanna miss.

Baby you don't need to ask,
For you I'll lay down this mask.

Make me vulnerable in this yellow light,
After a dark fiery fight....

Stranger I am weary my eyes are weak 
But tell who is that over there in the distance
My friend that figure over there in the far cornfield is Death 
But the day is so bright there is no gloom or sadness 
No my dear friend indeed there is none
If you are ready we can take a gentle walk over to meet him
Yes yes perhaps I am but on such a beautiful afternoon as this 
The suns yellow light flooding down the fields look pure gold...
