"Shimmers"

 Shimmers

I wrote a poem, then wrote two and three

None approach the shimmer that I see


Shimmers on the water as I write

The waters remain blurry in the night

Sadness overwhelming or a rage

In which the random waters set the stage

I feel as if I wrote it long ago

The feeling of transcendency, a blow


The ripples in the water settle down

The shimmers leave the image that I found

The pain I feel is only in my heart

The cavalcade is riding to depart


I know not of the presence in the gleam

A lunar ghost is splashing in the stream

Awash the blood goes past the words I deem

I lay upon the waters in a dream


Soaring into heaven as I begin to stall

Heart remains in shatters as I haven't helped at all

That becomes the testament that's leading to the fall

I spiral out, she spirals in, and that remains the call

I haven't helped at all


And, still, these words mean nothing in the end

As all the shimmers try to rip and rend

The rhoetry as is so surely claimed

Leaves the nothingness as still unnamed


I am beginning to despise my rhoetic efforts.

"Intrusion's end"

 Intrusion's end

Don't worry my dear

I won't be there

As you take to the stage, once more

Your revel is clear

I'd hate to stare

As you open your heart to the score


Intrusions are ending

But, rhoems are wending

To make of this life what I may

No certainty here

That the ether is clear

But, still, I have something to say


I won't bother your stride

As I take to the ride

In the only way left

 Without feeling bereft

'Tis just as it's been in the past

My existence remaining a fast

Something I never have sought

But the will on its own as it fought

Through the willanuck ways that are taught

Excuse me if rhoems are wrought

For you

"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

"Do I miss you?"

 Do I miss you?

As the Earth would miss the sun

Or butterfly its wings

Like sea would miss its water

Or Saturn miss its rings

As the sky would miss the blue

And bee would miss its sting

I've missed you through and through

From that moment in the spring

When your golden voice did sing

And images did ring

The heart did spring

"Bomb squad"

 Bomb Squad

Like a skittish colt on Sunday morning

Or, bomb squad just receiving warning

Blood that burns like lava flowing rock

A mind like cheapest jewelry out for hock

Is me in your presence

"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
