Amelie Mara Poem
Stardust filters her eyes--
diving headlong into an ache
of links from yesterdays,
coal the firmament.
Each star a dot of reverie
blinking with frail luster,
a speck rusted in time
washed by love’s weeping.

Amelie Mara Poem
Sunrise
treetops aflame
with fertile leaves aglow
ray bestowing warm nourishment,
Lambent
Duskfall
wanes against boughs
mauve paint turns into ink
creating lines of night shadows -

Amelie Mara Poem
Though midnight long, I sail the winding glide
As this my instinct wakes for cherished time
For every moment gone I cannot rest
A promise sent, of love by the Westside.
Lost somewhere--- hands grip in prayer,divine
Beloved, find me upon fate’s request!

Amelie Mara Poem
Laughter bursting on the patio
Kites lifted through summer air;
A tenderness given by heaven
My child, this is where love abides.
Even as we play hide-and-seek,
The affection can be profound
As we watch each other grow
In deeper meaning of sweet unity.
Whether it be jar of marbles or tears
Such moments hold us dearer;
By simply recognizing this oneness
Crowned by tinkerbell stars.
Let's walk along the byways
Your polka -dot blouse tugging mine
With patches of cotton candy,
My child, this is where happiness abides.

Amelie Mara Poem
The evening dons a peaceful shroud
As windows teeter in the breeze.
Here, only lone sighs are allowed
Along the road, an endless wheeze.
While toilers saunter homeward bound
Reflecting hours quite drearily,
With tic- tac rhythm on the ground
Like shuffles of a weary tree.
Dim lanterns cut through brightened shade
With moonlight glowing starlit white,
Till liquid eyes are inter-laid
For even in reminisce is light.

verdant the hilltops
gold as light
flushed without a moon

Amelie Mara Poem
Rain sketches lulled dusk
in eaves of mint blue,
bathing tender flesh
from autumn’s debut--
Parasols sway and dance
through spilled avenue.
Green-gold drops ripple,
soaked in dazzling hues
inviting bare lips
to taste honeydew;
wet kisses’ painting
love on avenue.

Shreds of oak tree in faded gold
Drift on my life-scenes, wishes untold.

Amelie Mara Poem
In this age, rage has become the norm,
an angry world looks at people’s faces
with suspicion in the streets,
and elders are beaten black and sore,
petty thieves crashing the store windows,
while families lock their doors at home,
as night sleuths peep from the blinds
checking to see how much loot they can raid.
Neighbors no longer star gaze on the porch
who knows where a gunfire can blow
when children become trigger happy
making school mates a shooting gallery;
in this age when rage is the new norm.
