Metaphor Tetractys Poems

Silk-
starfish
of fervent
fate weaves soft-quartz 
feathers of marshmallow metaphors that 
croon with firefly's fluorescence amidst life's
claustrophobic 
clouds, shading
bitter
smogs 
with
plush sweet-
dahlias;
And I chase light
within saffron skylines beyond...

What
is the
neon mauve
moon without trails
of twinkling twilight stars that swing in skies?
Perhaps, memories are just fluorescent
leaves that sing in
lifeline-ink
of the
past,
stained
with pearl-
pastels of
present seconds, 
pulsating heartbeats...

arctic
boreal
tatting across
whitened landscapes Chantilly with frore lace 
and snowy-stiff satin brocade cutting
defining the
raw winter’s
scalloped

Mist
Slides forth
From the peak
of curving heights  
slants fade in purity, dismal, and droop 
You're now at the same level as the trees. 
the haze...

a
blanket
of new snow
covers the ground
like the sweet meringue
atop my grandma’s scrumptious lemon pie.

whoa!
fire, fire
everywhere!
a bright fall noon
blanketed by a vast sea of red leaves
worker parts "Red Sea" with rake? who is that?
sure ain't Moses!
look, he's got...
helpers,
too.

white
clean shirts
drying in 
sunlight on line
washed in detergent soap by mother’s hand!
our minds nurtured by mother’s love and care,
should last lifetime,
unspoilt by
time and 
wear!

She 
rides the 
slow slide of 
her guitar blues
knife ‘gainst fretted strings of pain and pleasure

with hours to kill on train of love in vain
fields...

Dawn
draped in 
sunburst sky,
jade hills adorn.
Melted snow surges in torrent of brook,
cascading beguiled, down the verdant vale,
like my yearning
spurts for you,
stream of
joy.

Feet
rest at
bay of bliss
before final
journey starts to keep promise made to self
etch lasting footprints on twilight sea shore.
From morphed hourglass
slip away
sands of
time.

Our days can slip on by like grains of sand-
how they might fall
where they lay 
may grant
ease.
Best
counts on
how we sculpt 
those neath our feet
to shape...

She,
magnet;
attracting
half a dozen
of quacking, waddling ducks like scrap metal
A toddler is casting her magic spell
with mere bread crumbs;
a wondrous
sight to
see!

Snow
Stretches
On grey beams
Spanning our walk
So over the misty water we dream

White ...

frost-clad

cabled vaults -

join thoughts to sky ...

my city slumbers 'neath its cloak of snow.
