Winter's Thaw
Winter's thaw drips new hope onto the trails. Soon the sun will lap up the mud, drying the path for lovers in hands clapsed, exchanging dreams like lattes, and kisses like secret gifts of diamonds and lace. We will look under every limestone boulder for a metaphor, search these twisted trails for...

Take a Walk with Me
We find the winding road laced in floral lights and morning dew. Each rock, a stepping stone toward our final step. Grace fills our lungs with every breath, another day of life ends in setting sun. Tonight, the Seventh day begins, in obedience I take my rest, count the blessings as if finding four...

Nobel Dreams
Full moon took me by surprise at the midnight hour; spotlight casting long shadows on each side of my thoughts, awakened by shimmering dreams reflected on the dresser mirror. I looked at the river of light cascading in the air like a messenger; listened for a plot, to recharge my dreams. The theme...

Perfect
I open the window to bring back memories. The soft breeze, light rain and cool air clean away the dross of mind. The green is lush with thoughts of you... our walks, our words, our dreams shared with lemonade in the heat of summer nights and fireflies. They say nothing is perfect, but we know...

On High
Clouds in a soft-smoked veil assemble to worship at the mountaintop. In silence they move in unison to a plateau of light streaming from the sun. In majesty of marvel, all things are at His command. Tree tops bow when necessary or lift their branches in praise at dawn. O, that man would learn the...

Valley of Lavender
I find myself in the valley of lavender, staring at a pale moon, sad blue fragrant light tries to lift the clouds above sailboats lodged and deserted against a rocky shoreline. I cannot see above the darkest mountain before me for I am in this valley of purple clusters, where prayers groaned...

Love Knot
Love knot, two bodies curled into sweet bread, honeyed kisses, hearts in powdered sugar wrap. From my book Love Poems by the Fire

A New Song
Like a bird, I've pecked out my melody to you, sang it among the mauve and lavender blossoms, under clouds of fluid dream. You have swooped down to claim the graceful, but broken winged flight of my glissando song. You are the Aladdin summoned by prayer; the maestro come in minstrel tune and poetry....

Eminence
I look to the image maker in the small village of color where boats are sent to sea in turquoise waters under simmering sun. The zanzibar sand and scent leave soft prints along the shore of the apocalypse. Diamond sprays of crashing waves cause a paradox against the rocks. The mensch palms ever so...

The Vow
Wayfaring towards the open fields... skies aglow, hearts kindling, you and me enraptured by berries and blossoms, bloom and kisses, meadows garbed in fresh gale and delicate colors of springtime unraveled. Heaven's altar descends for our offerings... On bended knees transmutation and treasure found....
