The Never-Never Mate
The Never-Never mate I've missed is this:
Grey fog soft swaddling rolling orchard hills,
Yellow-brown apple overlooked
The Fall blessing field mice,
Wet orange leaves .
Salt foam sliding like a veil, lifted,
Falling, rising falling over rolling blue deep,
No horizon.
Heat shimmer dragonfly wing glinting,
Tilting in the wink of a golden, blue-eyed dog.
My Never-Was Mate
He is the coffee fleck of Showy Milkweed seed,
Borne cloudward over the valley
On vanilla silkwing steed.
He is a...

Emerald Eyes of Flame
Halfway thru my rotation, I saw her. And time, for me, came to a stop. As it always does in the presence of Nyema Devine.
She looked as stunning as I remembered her being. Dressed much differently than our first encounter. Timeless in her unique, elegant way. Unchanged as only a goddess could be, yet looking both similar to and different from it in equal parts.
Honored and awed, I studied her. Her form. Her features. Her body language. Purposely, I avoided her intense, emerald-green eyes.
Knowing the import of her appearing in this public place, and aware...

When Flowers Bloom
When it's spring it's a surprise.
The glowing stars in the skies.
The flowers all begin to bloom.
And you give them to a wedded bride and groom.
The colors,you can arrange.
And maybe get a chance.
Of a colorful,new romance.
Roses represent grace.
And put a smile on your face.
They come in so many varieties and ways.
Daisies,white petals.
In the cold,midnight rain.
When flowers bloom,you feel no pain.
All the colors on the field.
And the pollen that they shield.
It's like a game of...

A Clovers View...
I am alone and just one, a clover low, upon this quiet plain,
My leaves wave gently, a simple emerald hue, drinking sunlight, dew, and rain.
Around me blooms of white and pink nestle, like kin, their beauty shows off to all,
We sway as soft whispers of the wind that teach us where to grow, showing us how to be strong and to survive against life's breath.
Above, the larks and sparrows sing, their melodies unfold, lingering sounds to the earth,
And I, a humble clover here, watch heaven’s songs retold as white clouds dance upon the blue skies.

Things Beautiful...
Through our delicate sight, the world unveils its radiant art in colours,
A magnificent magical canvas of nature’s grand design.
Mountains boldly rise, statuesque and beautifully contoured,
Kissed by clouds, their resplendent mighty peaks shine,
Distant quiet Valleys cradle bending rivers, their cool flowing waters entrancing almost hypnotic,
Whispering tales of time to the fair earth below.
The ocean soothing waves, alluring and mesmerizing,
Holds mysteries in its secret shallows and radiant depths.
Each ripple and wave, a fetching embrace of the...

PURE HUMMING BIRD JOY (PURE HUMMING BIRD WAY) (11-24-2024, Palm Springs, California)

A Portal to Imaginations End ...
Through the Avo green ferns, the bushes, the ancient trees,
a green building rises, clothed in olive hues,
its glass windows reflecting the whispers of leaves.
The door stands wide, an invitation wrapped in light,
a flamboyant couch waits, adorned in vivid patterns,
like stories etched into fabric, each thread a tale
of minds cradled in comfort, hearts alight with wonder.
Inside, authors spirits adorn old oak shelves giving the air a scent of the timelessness of their presences,
the shelves with books of all sizes, stretch to the ceiling like tall...

Summer's Treausre
Summer comes fast, heat radiating outwards into the bright day,
It's as if the people glow, their auras gleaming in this sun-drenched sway.
The liberating feel of diving into cool waters during the scorching summer's heat,
And the sun, a warm yet unobtrusive ray,
while happy children confidently at play.
The day’s adventure, skies open wide,
Each step wrapped in love’s soft tide.
A gentle breeze, the grass lush and soft,
With laughter and voices rising aloft. ...

The Magic Rhyme
The faires spirit of the wise woman dance on to bring the night, casting a softly spoken spell bringing eternity to them as they dance around the heath, forrest and the bog.
The magic rhythm echoes into the universe carried on whispers of secret rhyme into the cosmos, suddenly a great spark ignites an the ancient tale unfolds, the cosmic force awaken.
Rays unimaginable burst through darkness like golden thread, brilliance and beauty cast as light is softly spread, the midnight lakes and streams of the forest shine with crystal frost, while luna...

To watch the Clear Night Sky
To watch the clear night skies, with what words and with which poem or brush can I at last shine a light on the mind of the searcher,
With what can I explicitly explain the divinity and sacredness of the stars of which cannot be seen, knowing with a depth of certainty they are there without changing the meaning,
How do I express myself when magnificence is just something wrapped in mediocrity in fair comparison, when searching to expose the truth and beauty of nature in the things that I cannot explain,
To try and explain a clear night sky, is...

Spy among Us
Tentacle stretches across the sea floor
With some suckers on his arm gripping onto his prey
When he’s with a friend wraps his arm around
And hugs him up
As a hermit crab searches for a new home
So they line up size by size to find a new apartment
With a camera on his shell so I can see
What’s going on in the land of the hermits
They proceed to move into their new shell
Some happy some not so much
A pigs day begins in the Caribbean
Swimming in the ocean
They swim like Michael...
