Seasons Long
You are sunshine to my
face.
It’s your warmth I covet most
while sleeping in the grass.
You are moonlight in my sleep.
How I love your satin dreams
while floating in your cotton fields.
You are promise in my life
the hopes and burning fires you torch in me.
You are spring and seasons long
where all begins and blossoms
true through you and me.
Light
| |
I am blind |
| Lend me
your seeing |
|
| |
I am dull |
| Lend me
your brilliance |
|
| |
I am slow |
| Lend me
your speed |
|
| |
I am heavy |
| Lighten
my load |
|
| |
I am listless |
| Lend me
your energy |
|
| |
I am night |
| Until
the day breaks |
|
| |
I am black |
| Without
all your colors |
|
| |
I am lonely |
| Without
you shadowing me |
|
| |
I am cold |
| I need
your heat |
|
| |
I am hungry |
| To
partake of your garden |
|
| |
I am amazed |
| With
your magic displays |
|
| |
I cannot hold
|
| you in
my hands; |
|
but my mind’s eyes blaze with
all your beauty.
A Double
Bed
All made up
sheets fresh
Quilted spread
fluffy pillows
Love is like that
all times
Dreamy pieces
fresh and
all made up
Before
being slept in
***
Slipping in between
warmth and
smooth embraces
Sowing seeds
of dreams
Dirtying the sheets
and
fluffing pillows
Love goes on ––– doubly made
Unfinished Symphony
Your soft whisper
breezes across a window
of his fluted reed
He hears music
your heart is playing
in the fields
of his dreams
Down a valley
into the glen
along the stream
you both drift
in exotic rhapsodies
Playing each other’s
refrains
in unending
symphonies.
Today
I awoke in a stream of rays.
Laid my Pregnant Survivor’s Manual
on the edge of the rug,
gave it a quick tug.
At the other end
I placed my book of Vanished Species,
Then squatted in between,
gave myself a hug
And felt just like today.
