"Mountain mists"

Mountain mists

The swirling mountain mists enshroud the quiet majesty

Enclosing all the trails and joy of pomp and pageantry

The solemn vows are hidden 'neath the cap of each dewdrop

The pinnacle revealed in light as mist departs the top

The rumble of the mountain can be heard both far and wide

The pain of rocky remnants tumble down the mountainside

The tumble scatters risks down on the trails on which we ride

No shelter can be taken with no place in which to hide

The mist in mountain's shadow cloaks the rumbles deep inside

"Touching"

 Touching

Sing to the mountains

Sing to the skies

Bursting from fountains

Let river raise tides


The day her drawbridge touches land

The day she fills the world

When all the love is faintly fanned

The woman's flag unfurled

The day the wonder of her voice

Rings out with no more pain

Is day that life has won its choice

The ending of the rain

The day the voice that ne'er holds back

Is singing, free of heart

The day in which we find the knack

For chains to fall apart


One of her nicknames is Gaia. Artful Dodger, or Gypsy Empress, also.  Another layer is about womanhood.  For me, they are the same.


"Raindrops"

 Raindrops

As much as you complain about your heart

In efflorescence from the very start

It scatters like the raindrops from a storm

In vast expressions of the woman's form

Transcendence lies between the raindrop's tears

Combustion of the end of all your fears


Another one I halted before it got out of hand.  Maybe I'm learning something.  Maybe not.

"Empress' ways"

 Empress' Ways

Every time I leaf on through the layers

As I ponder all the sundry players

There is no doubt within my mind

In every channel, bound in kind 

The Empress gets it right

She raises standard, leads the way

Into forays, she leaves at bay

The paltry and the fight


She fails to signify her grace

No thought thereof, without a trace

As my heart begins to race

I guess she feels she stumbles

As life begets the rumbles

As all of mankind humbles

Recovering the grace

" Display"

 Display

For some, the secrets of the heart

A difficult display

Through a life, right from the start

You know more than you say


You blaze and, then, transcend display

A shelf-life lived in days

And, so, I rhite it on the way

Expose the mythic maze


A little isolation

That was bought at such a cost

Defining all creation

Bringing refuge to the lost


I realized, today, that I believe in you far more than humanity.



"A Puff of Wind"

A Puff of Wind

A puff of wind that brushes 'gainst the cheek

A random wave that hits the highest peak

A sense of life that will not let it go

An ache to let the wonder waters flow


A brush's stroke, an image in the mind

Piano's note, that leads to more in kind

The lips against her cheek and words in rhyme

The loving 'cross a wild expanse of time

The thrill is not in rising to a peak

But, seeing in your eyes the love we seek

The sharing is the loving, knees so weak

The river of the love from minor creek


 I had to stop writing this one before I went overboard.  I think I like it.

" The smell of the rose"

 The smell of the rose*

Intuition of feelings more deep than the sea

It all is encased in the magic of She

Transcending the time that She spends in this place

Outpouring of blood filled with passion and grace

The smell of the rose and all flowers in bloom

As life becomes measured, all doubts are entombed

Intuition, the feeling transcendent, She bears

She learns of the magic that guides as it cares

A useless endeavor 'tis not, for She knows

The sense of the wonder, the smell of the rose

"Destiny"

  Destiny

Destiny is seldom as it seems

From life to life, the love will see extremes

From loving of one lover to another

To loving child for sake of loving mother

A cry across all time for loving of

A soul that cries it's always been in love

"Whirlwind"

Whirlwind

In praise of a woman with wonderful eyes

Transforming expressions forever arise

The sweetest component, to ne'er realize

Her songs of the heart mesmerize


My celebration of her heart sustained in will and fire

The lifetimes will be many more, led by my heart's desire

To find new ways to celebrate the loving of that heart

And mesmerizing way she has from finish to the start

The whirlwind of emotions that cascade along her skin

It is my goal to circumvent the armour and the din



"Smooth"

 Smooth

Like soft summer showers that light up the skin

Like warm, gentle touch of the loving within

So smooth, like the wash of the sea on the sands 

Like jagged chain lightning ignites as it lands

Like two-twenty volts made of satin and lace

Like rockets exploding and gone without trace

The smoothness erupts and the shock comprehends

That loving will last as each heartbeat transcends


"Woman"

 Woman

The briskness of a winter morn

The warmth of summer breeze

First light of day as it is born

A sigh among the trees

For Woman


Daffodils in garden growing

Falling leaves of color

Lovely as a freshet Flowing

All of life is fuller

With Woman


The wind that sings from far above

The heart that moves us on

The engine of unending love

That brings about new dawn

You are woman



"Resplendence"

 Resplendence

Resplendent in a hurricane of lace

Bedecked in piles of elegance and grace

She walks upon the wind in her attire

To take the steps of life amidst the fire

The wonder of her wizardry, it seems

Is best displayed amongst transcendent dreams

"Sky II"

 Sky**

I lay upon a carpet of green grass

Contemplating sky and clouds that pass

As shades of white and blue go through my mind

So like the clouds, I drift along and find

That, once again, my thoughts have turned to you

Obscuring all that falls within purview

Ever-present loving saturates

I ponder thoughts of passion and the fates

Upon the drifting clouds, so soft and fair

Drifts these thoughts of deepest loving care

Heart goes with the clouds upon their travels

As the worried thought of heart unravels

Wind picks up and sighs with thoughts of love

Heart returns with feelings far above

Sun begins to set upon the day

Night begins to fondle interplay

The shining moon reflects your sweet demure

Twinkling stars emerge as feelings stir

Night of summer breeze so slowly passed

Light of newborn day is coming fast

Sun arises with a heartfelt sigh

In radiance of shining clear blue sky

Filling, once again, with love that I

Give back unto the morning's open sky

lost poem

 Happy Birthday 2016/(17?)

Crystal ships soar high above and glisten

Angels sigh and songbirds pause to listen

For the day has come

With beating of the drum

Celebration of the day she first

Brought to me a life-fulfilling thirst

As from her lungs the songs, in colours, burst

From that moment on, my beating heart

Responded to the tunes she did impart


For long and long, her glow ne'er came to rest

In journey of the heart made manifest

Trapped beneath the waves, she found her way

But, always, always passion held her sway

The power chained within the hurricane

Drew from heart of mine the depths of pain

She knocked the stuffing right out into staves

Washing all the shores with all She craves


Her glow began in rhythm as she rose above the sea

The pulsing of her heart and glow stir in my memory

A shelter rose within this heart in time of greatest need

In return for dazzlement of wonder do I plead


The blowing of the hurricane transforms

From battering of ships into the storms

To gentle breeze of swaying song

Of loving of a life so strong

Strengthened by the love I have for you

Into a cord of life with loving view
