Swoons Poems

Aromatically whisking towards leopards bane
Waltzing, being careful to avoid the touch
Hither here step, toe, heel, a scrumptious pain
To tango with the devil's helmet, vomit, double Dutch

A vermilion distillment, a sleepy smile
A foxtrot coalescing with foul swoons
I cannot touch these, a...Read More

We wend through life with hopes of one true love,
          Quite rare, such fits, that match you like a glove ...
     A blend of souls ... divine...Read More

complicated by your mysterious eyes and then you smiled my way.
incompliant hair, teased by the brawny solar wind, potently alluring.
my pulse swoons at your flawless turquoise eyes, their iconic sway.
i thought i’d play it cooly (let’s be honest beg) give...Read More

January Joy Moon
moon steams with snowflakes 
her feather heart falls freely 
opal dusk dances

February Flower Moon
moon buds through soft sky
petals promise pearly prose
leaves linger in light

March Magical Moon
moon mist twists timeless 
spring sprinkles spiral rebirth
jade ocean forests

April Awaken Moon

Life of a bird that swoons high above
Singing this tune of true love

Chirping and cheeping 

This Love from above
Singing among the clouds

May I take your hand and hold it
As a wing holds a dove
High above the clouds

Let anger not clip...Read More

you are so fair
           a banner over me
           my perfect one

Words meant so much to him too
The punchy lyric told you what to do
It was what he wanted to say
Instead of just wasting it anyway

What bollocks, yeah man
Here was where he made his stand
The solitary one in his plan
Too far...Read More

Ambient light flickers and I am home
I am home
a storm of rain, 
soul drenching dripping down 
in tears of molten gold

thunder strikes and in your heart I crawl
silver spoons, yet it swoons
still it swoons
as smiles kiss the sweetness
with every wanton...Read More

It is not light that falls before these eyes,
blue as ocean's dream,
that allows me to see, 
beyond such a simple breeze

where whitest whites make way
for jaded bliss
a brilliance brighter than my sun
or of your moon

it is honey that coats the...Read More

Here is a short list of life's many stories. If we take the time and slow down and notice, there are stories going on around us all the time. Stories of life, death, happiness, anger, love and laughter. Real stories...Read More

waning of blue sky,
as my eyes succumb to sleep —
awakened by dreams

the barenaked bark,
handsome in its lichen state —
soft are its feathers

the long limbs of oaks
stretch in coalescent prayers
and mystical hymns

in darkness of womb,
rosebuds like a babies fist —
the birthing...Read More

Rising at twinkling twilight, oh what a serendipity sight!
Laughing lapis rays play with settling setting sun
Trees breeze, reaching with their seeking bold boughs
Moody mist twists with blooming blues of haunting hues
All together singing a cyan song with sapphire fire
Suddenly, full...Read More

he’s spent too long staring into my eyes
forgetting the penetrating softness of my curves,
so he swoons to cup the warmest stowaway

before the sun reveals its radiance
before the aroma of coffee fills the house
before the vibration of his work cell

the subtle...Read More

A day without Cheese is not a day worth living in
Despite my high cholesterol, I will pop another statin in
The texture, the flavour, the smell, the pure cheesiness
but to overindulge could lead you into queasiness

My perfect day, I’d have to...Read More

The dark night reveals a silhouette beneath the stars and moon.
Her curves are alluring as my heart quickens and spirit swoons.

I move closer as the light of the moon allows her to glow without a care.
I gaze upon her brilliant...Read More

Moon,
Lord of light,
Protector of the night,
You light the flame
That has no name
Inside my daughter's heart.

She's only two, 
Though don't let that fool you.
She howls at the moon
Like a full grown coyote.
With raised chin 
She sways and swoons
Carrying her to the...Read More

               The magic of those June thru August moons ...

As the life of the day nears its last breath,
With a glow of crimson, forewarning its death,
Upon its cresting, the reflection, daunting,
The sea sets free a beauty, haunting
The depths of its treasures of unknown span,
The Queen Of Pearls, secluded from...Read More

HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY

Her hand’s swan-like dance,
ivory shadow puppets
romance. Hungarian rhapsody.

The musician sans existence
as emotive fingers move
imaginary marionettes
with splendiferous precision.

Drama drops onto piano keys
occasionally taking a gentle stroll
then in sensuous sway, sashaying
like an exotic dancer. The musician

plucks and plinks as if
with chameleonic...Read More

Harvest Hearts

Come bide with me beneath a harvest moon
and pull me softly to your chilly lips
quivering with desire and evening swoons
November night of tender fingertips.

Come autumn fancy live within our hearts,
chilling hours will warm when air is crisp. 
With leaves...Read More

Blue dulcet, spread out and new
soaring high across a glidden sky
entranced by dire drips of green
singing out another moonlit lullaby

A kingfisher of sorts, so honest and true
wings dipped in search of a sullen you
reaching out to where oceans walk
hearts wait,...Read More
