Petals of Pain

We hid behind a small frame, evading the regiment’s reig...

Fashioned Fortitude

...A mirror never reveals  
fallen secrets sewn with soulful sequins;  
time unmutes raven melodies within,  
tawny tunes of truth~
   I once spoke in colorful dialects.  
Now, I trust just the...

Dawn Never Dies

...I was a red-violet, sunny morning person, usually up at the crack of dawn,
When orange light poured from the east, upon revival, dewy green lawns.

With a cup of aromal coffee, I'd watch y...

Forever

...“There shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth”,
I’d read it and read it again.
And I’d heard of it preached from all pulpits the same,

Trompe L'oeil
I use to be so sure of my colors
But now my vision is jaded
Perhaps it is obscured
from the THOUSANDS of tears I've shed

Standing in the check-out line
Pretty dark golden-brown skin
Five foot tall? Not even that, I thought
Seventy years old?  Maybe more
High top laced black shoes...

Beside the Sea - POTD

...Beside the sea I wait~
the dreamy dawn to shine
and paint horizon's hue
in tawny, taupe and teal
unveiling vivid view.

Beside the sea I wait~
the early birds in flight
arching like tiara

Rock Mermaid

...I wish 
to be darling 
to sing of love
to woo you

perhaps now I am

This strangely artistic hint of a thing 
This will of the wisp of a thing
This wind and bone marrow 
left over thing

Colorful Fall

...Carnelian and crimsons orchestrate eye music
Ornate as orange oboes that blare a fiery woo 
Loud in the hills, flaring flutes of maroon thrill,
Oscillating in burgundy trills of a breezy banjo
