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.

Sentience

 

Eyes closed,
I walk my fingers
over faces I hold
dear and familiar,
absorbing distinct features- -
textures,
a meditation on life,
                                       love.

Smooth autumn leaf faces
awaiting wind’s whispered magic,
to be feathers- -
aloft and dancing.
A cool granite face,
spiked and dimpled- -
dappled lichen scales curl
across the surface.
Times imprints- -
bedtime stories
of musty earth.
Wrinkled pine bark,
a rough face- -weathered
cloaked in whiskered wisps
of tangled moss
tells of north wind’s
brutal snow- -
life in stages- -staged by nature.

Familiar faces,
life’s changes- -
the future of pasts
always present- -ghosts- -
reality and memory,
imagery- -sentience,
eternal love being light.
I read textures in longhand,
the way I write love notes
to lovers I’ll never know- -
knowing those I’ve loved,
I will always love.
Their features immortalized
in natures textures.
Eyes closed,
sentient- -
I walk among the faces
I hold dear and familiar.

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

Moonlight Stroll

 
night sky deepens
moths flutter
in moonlight
barefoot
lovers stroll
crickets serenade
warm earth
warm hearts
coyotes chant
- -silence- -
sweet ending

A Spring Brainstorm

chickadees- -
all black caps
and smiles
darting, fluttering
the way love does
trees laugh
my heart soars
feathers
paint the sky

I’m all jasmine
and rain drops
kissing- -warm
my heart

A Play of Light

My notebook
a womb of creation,
insane sanity set adrift
on paper rafts.
Random thoughts- -
a synchronous bargaining
between my right hemisphere
and nature- -a play
of light on love and words.
So many paths in the forest
I come to you
dazed- -reasoning
blown away,
creative pollen carried
on a honeysuckle wind- -
blown away.
Brainstorming
a stormy process
in my writing ritual- -
ripples- -ideas churning lightly
below water’s evening surface- -
trout feeding on thoughts
and laughter.
My pen floats
when I dream.
