Kingdom of Diamonds
Moonlight washes the walls of memories, tenants of my mind move out; they no longer pay rent. All furniture, rearranged, feng shui considered, right down to the light bulb. Emotions flip the switch when not under the care of the Gate-Keeper of Eden's gardens. Obsidian nights cannot resolve the...

Vampire No More
Gifted by the floating lotus in my mind, despite the meadows lit in hues of autumn spill, I retain the lustre of heat and sun in the swoon of herons still nesting in my head. Decadence shall not steal the flight from me, nor replace my summer river with beautiful leaves of gorgeous blood red. These...

Stone with an Image
In every detail of the poem of life, God is there. He is the mystery in the river's flow. The stone smoothed by water, so liquid, so strong to lap up sharp edges in rocks, turn an artist's painting into soft tones and round ridges. We, like the rocks, are tossed and tumbled turned into soft stones...

Body Surfing (Sam444, just wrote this poem...yes, it's been a while!)
In the ebb and flow of silted tides, I tumble like a sand flea to shore. The sound of confusion, a mix of consonants crashing against metaphors and shells; seaweeds soften the blow with smooth vowels of o's, ah's and e's. Twisted and tangled in my own body and suit, ears full of water mind spilling...

Projected Fear
We fear endings, goodbyes, changes that leave broken glass in the heart, one footpath on the trail, silence from airways once packed with "I love you's." We fear the unknown and who might take our place, steal the life we were meant to live with the one we love. We fear distance of time and space,...

Nature's Feast
In the splendor of an adorning light, trellised praise rises in floral scent. There is slumber no more from the firmament, the fields, the brooks, and rivers winding with no eyes to see. An anthem resounds from mossy boughs, glens rejoice in green communion. The siren calls from waters deep, rain...

Eternal Garden
I tasted serenity in the violet light of lavender trails and aromic paths at dawn. Borders of perennials waking at first bell of cricket song, discovering refreshment in soft dew touch. Winding hilltops call to spreading birch and pines, and a sycamore of renewal. The morning, enlivened in bird...

A Day's Direction
The sky is a flowering field this morning with colors not yet fully decided. Stars, clouds, sky with numerous choices yet to be made. It will all scatter when the sun decides to join us. Upon the face of the moment, it will spill poetry from its warm pitcher, filling cups, glasses and mouths full of...

The Wind is a Wish
The wind is a secret this morning. A steady humidity rises from the lush foilage. The sun keeps quiet over treetops glistened with wet nights unforgotten. I know there was a wind, for I felt it in a wish, hair lifted softly, waves lapping at low tide, pulled only by dream. I'm certain I felt a...

Wisdom of Trees
From the wisdom of trees all things can be discovered... Consistency, stable union with sky and earth... worship and praise in the sway of quiet thoughts... Color and fullness, bareness and timid bark in mid afternoon light. I walk alone even in a city full of eyes. I find my partner in a tree. We...
