watercolor morning
watercolor morning
it was a watercolor morning
the sky tangerine, punched with boysenberry
and yet you wept
your tears delicious were it not for unbearable pain
i look back now at countless years
wondering ten thousand times over
if perhaps storm clouds had cast shadows
where rain refused to fall
then perhaps i would still reach out
and feel your hand, warm and inviting
rather than

You, the watercolor of my dreams and codex of mystery
You, the watercolor of my dreams and codex of mystery,
You draw the cosmic shiver towards me, disturbing my peace;
You offer a dance of stellar swarms hidden in earthly forms,
You possess sublime gifts, courage, weaving genealogies of noble thoughts.
And as your hair gently falls, illuminating the city,
Like night flickering innocently and gracefully over day,
Soft, a river

Watercolor Nightmare
Pardon for fingers
Body painting my fixed face—
Marking up a scene
Of raw phantasms that look
Like they're falling for my tears.

Watercolor
My world is watercolor
this body lies somewhere
tangled in the reeds that weave for us, splendid fascinations
I'll show you my sunwashed sky, if you promise to chase away the rain
I'll lead you to rest in the cool grasses of my rivers edge
And bury your aching bones beneath my warm sands
Come, stay with me awhile

A Little Poem For My Friend Watercolor Cat
Watercolor Cat, Watercolor Cat,
You are the most wonderful Watercolor Cat I have ever could dream about,
And I wonder, my friend Watercolor Cat, and admire you perplexed and mesmerized,
Tell me, how you know and how you do that you stand up straight and mastered this dignifying posture,
Like a masterpiece,
And these yellow eyes, like sunflowers, while sitting

Nature's Poetry
Raindrops falling on windowpane
cloudy grey sky with lightning vein
Upon close look, a lilac hue
and tiny pockets found of blue
Rainy days tempt poets to write
of roses in bloom, stars at night;
of golden leaves as Autumn fades,
or shadows found

Watercolor Life
Color the wind a swirling blue
‘Gainst a splash of crimson sky.
Paint the marshes a dozen greens
With egrets white flying by.
Wash the sand with a golden glow,
Make jetty rocks glistening black
Show beach umbrellas in rainbow hues,
Where white-capped waves roll back.
Paint me an evening strolling here
The heat of the day gone by.
Color the smell of the salty

Watercolor
Listen with your eyes
Squabbling hens fluffing up their feathers
A fox sneaks up on the fence line - wise
The tractor beams on the side - weathered
Crows caw as they fly through the branches
The grass crunches under the farmers feet
He has a Mossberg in his hands lifted
He plans to fire off a shot - the sheep bleat
Old

Flows the Current of My Life
drifting waters
abridging
drenched
pigments
of my memory
whimsically
scatter
homebound
the dyes
staining the
cold pressed
arches
of
my mind's
canvas

Watercolor
I held the paint brush trembling for I had never,
painted anything in my entire life but had wanted to;
I began with the sky- in my head I saw azure and swirls,
of clouds drifting, it was all within me waiting for me to paint.
then, I painted flowers swaying in the grass- oh it was a

Monet
Art like Monet
It is like an alternate reality
Soft, vivid full of pureness
Unlike harsh reality
Raw and rough around the edges
Hustling for the next desire
Monet simply lies there
In its purest form
Of Watercolor Aesthetics
The waves of the water he paints
Immerses my eyes with clouds of subtle feeling
A feeling that is smoother than reality
Captured in a stroke
