Days Without Rain
In the days without rain
the pond is down.
The few trees that grow in it
bear witness to what the waterline
used to be.
Dragonflies while the day away
pretending to be acrobats
performing aerial feats for each other.
An occasional breeze sways the small stand
of cattails that grow near the edge.
Their mint-green leaves, long knives,
firm as canvas sails full of wind
on yacht race day.
A young frog sits in the shallows,
three-quarters submerged,
a meniscus outlines his exposed body.
He is still as...
the pond is down.
The few trees that grow in it
bear witness to what the waterline
used to be.
Dragonflies while the day away
pretending to be acrobats
performing aerial feats for each other.
An occasional breeze sways the small stand
of cattails that grow near the edge.
Their mint-green leaves, long knives,
firm as canvas sails full of wind
on yacht race day.
A young frog sits in the shallows,
three-quarters submerged,
a meniscus outlines his exposed body.
He is still as...

You belong to Me
You belong to Me,
said earth to water
You yearn to kiss the sky;
ready to lose your identity for her
But does she even
care for you
even though you wear her
shades of blue?
The stars adorn her
like glitters on her face
and the moon woos her
with his silvery serenade
She is the queen of the cosmos
beyond your reach
but I'm the warmth that you seek;
pressing you onto my bosom
far and deep.
The sun and the wind conspire
to take you away from me, ...
said earth to water
You yearn to kiss the sky;
ready to lose your identity for her
But does she even
care for you
even though you wear her
shades of blue?
The stars adorn her
like glitters on her face
and the moon woos her
with his silvery serenade
She is the queen of the cosmos
beyond your reach
but I'm the warmth that you seek;
pressing you onto my bosom
far and deep.
The sun and the wind conspire
to take you away from me, ...

In your pools of green
Come
Cascade into my need
As a waterfall
Crashing into green
Dive into my soft grey-blue
As I sink into the blue of you
Gaze through
Curtains of cool droplets
Held in brief suspense
As nearly forgotten moments
Pause, suspended here in time
Tumble far to secret places
‘Neath the diamond showers
Of our diamond memories
Come and share
The torrential rapids
Of desire
Jump into the pool with me
Collide as we tumble
Down the waterfall of need
I would
Reckless
Take the dive
If...
Cascade into my need
As a waterfall
Crashing into green
Dive into my soft grey-blue
As I sink into the blue of you
Gaze through
Curtains of cool droplets
Held in brief suspense
As nearly forgotten moments
Pause, suspended here in time
Tumble far to secret places
‘Neath the diamond showers
Of our diamond memories
Come and share
The torrential rapids
Of desire
Jump into the pool with me
Collide as we tumble
Down the waterfall of need
I would
Reckless
Take the dive
