Yearning For Spring

English: Snow covered spring flowers (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Spring- -
winter
unfurls
its feathered wings.
Cold white linen
spreads
over yarrow,
again it hides
for a time.
Oh, how the seasons
push and shove my moods

I yearn for tomorrow’s
return of spring- - 
and your sunny smile
warming me
in shades of love
I haven’t dreamed
of yet.  Birds trilling
the way Cyndi sings
“Time After Time”
- -all emotion
the birdsong
warming me
afterall- -sun
will shine
in your eyes.

Summer in Fuschia

Gracefully,
summer’s
magnificent
evolution
explodes.

Open- -ready,
I reach
for your light.

My sweetest man,
dress me
in crystal kisses.
We are summer
in every season.

Love- -
such a sweet
blossoming
within.

My Petals

My petals curl
in upon themselves
closing at sunset

Hurry- -
kiss me
one last time
before the sun
lays down
beyond
the mountains
to sleep
beneath
a velvet canvas

Where We Go Next

 
We follow a trail
long since tangled
in fisted weeds.
Walking back
through pages- -places
other lifetimes
have taken us
leaves thorns
in my thies- -
let me show you.

The back story
leads to now- -
knowing how we got here
is not important,
it’s where we go next.

Darling,
your eyes speak
volumes- -I live
for a great
toe curling read.
Eager
for a luscious ending,
I’ll wait to see
where we go next- -
passion-flower seeds
sprouting my hair.

Universal Motion

 

Universe in motion
energy flows- -Earth flows
constantly in spiral.
Clouds flow electric
energy bends branches
in waves of wind- -
rainbows the sky.
Universe in motion- -
constant humanity,
love energy never dies.
Life in motion- -
seeds driven by song,
rain given promises
carry us along- -
cleansing, purifying.
Moon forced tides roll out,
rising, swelling- -crashing,
a constant pull and push- -
together- -apart,
we’re all a part.

                      My heart flows
                      a river of emotion
                      and motion- -yet,
                      calm- -motionless
                      I listen,
                      surfing vibrations- -
                      clinging only to Earth
                      and her nature of motion
                      in motion.
                      Universal Energy
                      in constant ceremony- -
                      a dreaming,
                      drumming, singing
                      with my ancestors- -
                      sage smoke curling upward- -
                      prayer ceremony.
                      Eternally grateful,
                      I dance
                      to life’s music
                      in universal motion.

Lavender Roses- -Rain kissed

Lavender roses- -
rain kissed love
falling petals
my heart feels
and hears
and sees you
in every scent

I’m thinking- -
dreaming
wanting
to taste
the droplets
silvery-lavender
cool sweetness
of your skin
quickly- -

In My Pocket

 
Collecting thoughts- -
pretty rocks
to fill my pockets- -
dreams kept
for long nights running
backward in slow motion
waiting for you to find
me between the lines.

Icy night wind mourns
the summer still locked
away deep in my heart- -
where sea spray comes
dancing amid the gulls
and your shining smile- -
a bright sun warming
my toes in the sand.

I can’t stand waiting
for so long
between sunshine kisses.
Collecting thoughts- -
pretty rocks- -to keep you
in my pocket- -safe,
a cold night’s dream
while mourning summer.
