in the orchard
with softened palm
fingers lightly curled
i weigh the fruit of other minds
take note of curve
dimple, scent and heft
small blemishes and bloom
as imagination bites
i drool, wonder
why oh why
can't i grow
fruit like this?
all thanks to suggestions, especially ahavati :rose:
'bloom', here, is the sort of powdery deposits on the skin of the fruit; i left it where it was as i feel it creates the line-length i wanted, ties sound-wise with 'drool', and...

Sweet Ahnjolie
An opulence of mirth befell
upon my soul and eyes as well,
the spirit of a poet's pen
which fixed in me a trance, and then,
within her words a rich delight,
a maiden had attained her knight
through tenderness and breadth of kiss;
a custom that bestows sweet bliss.
And with this poem, the words revealed
an inspiration long concealed.
Tis now I see, what poems can be
when written by sweet ahnjolie.

Painting My Voice
I am an
Artist Painting
My voice
Chasing dreams
Protecting my heart
Sharing my thoughts
Not fond of green
Deep embedded pain
Loyalty can't be bought
Romantic fantasy
Brooks and streams
Fields of bluebonnets
Moonlit exctasy
Rhymes and times
Destressing
And venting
Love to hate
Trust to lust
Heaven sent
Rainy days
Hell is bent
Holiday parades
Uninhibited desires
Passions raw
Awaking nightmareres
Bills to pay
Poetic dues
Open mind
Does Grammer
Really...

A Muse
Maudlin, weepy,
beer oiled in pipe-smoke shrouds,
I’m drunkenly wordless in the tavern
watching old men
play round after round of domino topple.
The grandfather clock
stood in the corner strikes
nine
and through smoky veils, and scratchy juke-box tunes
she approaches,
clothing - a total textile-transgress
hair - a chestnut wind-tangled thatch;
offers a tissue
dabbing my eyes.
My Talisman,
a pendant around her neck,
I anoint with a kiss
...

Another peaceful poem
Your presence is purely profound
your heart shines like stars in the sky,
your eyes are wide,
your mind is wise
your soul just wants to fly..
but you don't sense connection
no purpose or direction,
your interest is not in what's known
but in the infinite inspection.
Another peaceful poem
"for the road"
Another peace less poet headed home
"to the valley below"
Your parents are the people
and to every being you belong
they'll guide you through
the gloom and doom,
show ya how to keep on staying...
