Grace
I've often thought how fitting her name is
no matter what she writes
there's a delicate finesse emitted
a beauty strong and gentle
she's graceful in every sense of the word
Her stanzas paint floral dew kissed pictures
invoke a loneliness and soothe with a calm kisses
she can roam the dreamworld and conjure the past
but she's grounded enough in her self to come back
her heart exudes a vibration that travels
long distance and through our beings past portals
open and extending
she paints nostalgia in beautiful colors
sadness like a pastel painting in words
I respect her as a person
she's an asset to all
she triumphs with the poise
we can all applaud

That's so kind, Miki. I think there are dusts in my eyes. Damn!

Stars of Justice
I am Libra, airy and bright
The scales of the zodiac
I am driven by desires
To learn the limits
I am a romantic
Follower of Venus
I choose the best of Love
In my love’s quest
I seek my soul mate
Among the stars
Often incompatible
But I love until I burn.

Embrace the wood nymph of heavenly grace
grace sculptured with warm embrace
Visions of your poems inspire my mission
mission of charity only seen in my visions
Desire to help others becomes a roaring fire
fire culminating from the depths of my desire
Kind words of yours fill my empty mind
mind of mine thinking you’re one of a kind
Whispers of your loving heart in silent vespers
vespers culled from verses of poetic whispers
Wind shall carry your poems to the blind
blind to see the beauty of the passing wind
Desires to learn the limits caught in fire
fire ignited with love in cascading desires
Romantic you are and may seem pedantic
pedantic only to those who are not romantic
Seeking love among the stars when nobody is peeking
peeking in your beautiful mind is all I’m seeking

The Glowing Guardian
Love
Rites sprinkle covering One made starlight
steeped within majestic reverence Holy might
"That which is below corresponds to that which is above" *
Ink lain imagery awash with life
bound by Heart coupled with mind
inferno
Knowledge extraordinaire scribe of Earth
traveler borne fleet of tongue
Give Her blue skies grabbing warmth in lilac radiant hue
pause upon bright eyes and gorgeous smile drawing closeness in
The iridescent feather touch sits assuredly owned between nimble fingers
catching everything the world so pours pooling every trickled stream
Constance She claims Herald for posterity worthy of righteous wing
tenderness My Dearest savior to Soul grip tightly Your glow
keep sight toward the sky Love it will never fall
for Atlas keeps his shoulder strong barring cleft from evertouch
walk past every rock infested snake path twirl upon meadow
Thy time flows precious float on along maple leaf way

LUNAR MERMAID
As the darkened pool
Swirls of fish and sea weeds
The round full face of moon
Floats gently on the water
Neptunian waves spun from night
Weave threads from the tapestry
Of serenity and thought
She scales the words
Measures their meaning
As sirens awaken
From dreaming
From her hands
Sculpted scarlet verses
Ebb back , and forth
Holding the cosmic compass
The ocean sails
Through open horizons
Once upon a moon
Once upon a poem
Lunar wisdom found
Its rightful place
Her name chosen
Was
GRACE

Dryad
Her eyes were born opened to the sun
Ancient waters sighed at her calm
Her first breath whispered
Nature’s eloquence
Her life isn’t abridged by a soul
needing to make sense of the narrative
To bring coherence to the
Constant drift of dreams.
Surrounded by stillness, alone in silence
a wood nymph
Dips her pen in vivid hues
writing on yellow flower petals
her textured poetic verse.
A tempered euphony
in time with her inner metronome
Never simple her symbolic truth:
Like a kiss flying quietly into a spring rain
Beauty divine
defined through the
shadow images of life,
love,and sorrow
Grounded,
revealing her inner light
Her eyes were born opened to the sun
Ancient waters sighed at her calm
Her first breath whispered
Nature’s eloquence
Her life isn’t abridged by a soul
needing to make sense of the narrative
To bring coherence to the
Constant drift of dreams.
Surrounded by stillness, alone in silence
a wood nymph
Dips her pen in vivid hues
writing on yellow flower petals
