Morning optimism
14 August 2017
The sunflowers hope
That mornings will turn brighter
So they stay in sun
Sunflowers hasten
Their desire locked in black
Seeds that stay inside
Morning optimism
Meets midday where sun will stride
To point of sojourn

Between mind and heart
24 February 2016
The leaves in tight row
Bordered the alleys that wound
In between patches
Within my bosom clearings
Sat in toasty clusters of thought
Compact flowers shone
Sturdy milk white petunias
All cramped within pots
Tepid ideas roamed slow
In mind’s glowing flushed harbours
Warm winds blowing hard
Mixed petunias and green leaves
Left nothing untouched
Steady confusion of mind
Made patchwork of ideas
The dust riding fast
Sweaty summery playgrounds
Sweltering desert
Pieces in taut memories
Grew hot blizzard in my soul
The Earth cried out loud
She recognized not her pair
Earth and sky repelled
A heated debate ensued
Between rigid mind and heart

Like milk and honey
16 February 2016
We will meet quiet
Where snowdrops once pierced in birth
On snow powdered cliffs
Chalk white images
Dance in playgrounds of my mind
Glassy retina
Double leap of faith
Continuous pace of dream
Into ether’s cream
A dip into blue
Velvety home to my kind
Raised in buttermilk
Waters will wash off
Age-old fluid cleansing tool
The condensed sorrow
I wrap around you
In smooth effortless fusion
Like milk and honey

Conflagration of Senses
9-10 February 2016
The wild at hearts flare
Like masterpiece of summer
Scorching the dried woods
The wildfire a blaze
Best pick of the century
A view nonpareil
Trophy of brightness
Uninterrupted by rocks
Moss shriveled by sun
Flaming pearl jewel
They attempted taming it
Flushing flash of fire
Like stone ornament
Of precious roots uncovered
Sparkler’s crystal light
No glass contained it
Conflagration of Senses
The infinite heat

Unruly minor
3 February 2016
Winter’s main treasures
Granted to baby spring’s care
She melted all flakes
We wistful watched her
The celebrated cherub
Our eyes a heartache
Capital the crime
The juvenile detention
Only way for babe
I named her law year
Freshman a youth unvarnished
Chief of her defense
She was but infant
I depicted Dickens’ tales
Leading jury cried
Unruly minor
She suffered major mood swings
From tulips to skies
Guilty the kid charged
Was the dominant sentence
Juries hate the brat
My brilliant defense
Depicting the cub’s sorrow
Stood not her offense
The imp merely grinned
Beckoned to future offspring
She was a star child
Far from innocent
Principal appeal now lost
She mooned the judges
