silver trim

dreams leak from my eyes, the
sun shall find

a way into my heart, cresting over
the canopy, love bourgeons
through the
limbs

lining the contour
with silver trim,
cascading over
the land

giving dreams a second chance,
they arrive in my
hands

and
outstretched
across the void of time, we,
for each other,
stand

letting light guide the way, a
flutter or two, takes
center
stage

as we let love paradeโ€ฆ

a love emboldenedโ€ฆ

books with broken spines, reminds me of a time,

believedโ€ฆ

under an open sunโ€ฆ

I rise from the depths of the sea, surmising all
Iโ€™ve seen, in-between the pain handed down,
and the joy,
drowned

into
a special
place in my heartโ€ฆ

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

mauve patterns

humanity is like a dream, closing
in on me, feeling
cloaked
and

drowning on the tide, consciousness
fleeing with the setting
sun, and

the
beams
of falling love

raining mauve patterns
across my
mind

delivering reassurance of a kind, as
the sand in between my toes
reminds
me
of

a doe, as it flits across the field,
wandering into natureโ€™s
scape

of a love, made realโ€ฆ

the fragrance deliveredโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ve seen you, the mirror bestood
the shelled husk, and
the ground spoke
in tones
musk

scent delivered, atmosphere tense,
boiling over imminent

as presence fills my being with a firmament,
languid colors
arise

it is
the nature
of everyone
to despise, yet

love is always there, hiding in the alcoves
of hearts and
minds

remove
the fragrance delivered,
and let love
reign
far,
and wideโ€ฆ

a moonbeamโ€ฆ

desires encapsulate me like the moon,
as inside my being I swoon,
looking to the sky,
watching the

moon
go
by

as clouds filter through
the darkness,
the shadow of which
becomes the
hardest

to recognize

it is the mirrored
reflection I see, when
dancing with the trees

and
becoming
more than
one dreamed

until the last particle of
my being is seenโ€ฆ

and, love is blossomed in-between
the rivers full of life,
and me

a moonbeamโ€ฆ

The flowers brome…

I sat next to a flower once, bold and dared, growing through the ground, making its way into the ether air.

It perplexed me, in mid sentence, I stared, as a whisper came forth from the flowerโ€™s brome, hard to grasp in its block and form.

As the words mingled within me, and I stared at the petals mildly, I realized the words had taken on a life of their own, resonating within my heartโ€™s home.

What, you ask, did the flower say to me on that day?

โ€œGrow boldly, love fiercely, and, when in doubt, sit next to me here, and watch, listen, and learn; then, my friend, you will realize what love is all about.โ€

wish upon the birdsโ€ฆ

moon encrusted evening, walking among the fields
of daisies, birds circling in air, like thoughts
running through

veins,
fare and,
attention
made
bare

I dream of other lands, while grounded in the past,
and wish upon the birds, their beauty, at
times

misunderstoodโ€ฆ

slowly, I crane toward the sky, their look is a
glimpse of magnificence, we all
should

take into
account, and
be proud of the beauty
throughout

the moments given, each one is sacred, bestowed
upon us with a love that is
thrilling
and

delightful, just like the pink hues look, as they
swallow my past, and take me towards
the present moment

at
last
it is
a stark
contrastโ€ฆ
