A little glimpse into my heart. Your comments are welcome at the link below. The other link below (NaPoWriMo 2022) will take you to the 30 poems I wrote for National Poetry Month's a poem a day challenge.
Water Lilies Ballet
A frolic of dustlight
a merriment of sunlight
slowly deliquesce
into arabesques of color
violet shimmer, cobalt gleam
cadmium yellow, viridian green
tonal mist glimmers the air
a playful pirouette of pigment
sending sense of sunlight asunder
Yet below, quiet wonder,
a muted requiem of hue
cobalt swirls with palest blue
vermillion fades to rose
A delicate dance
in shadowed depths
Sunlight plundered.
Coffee
Ah, bliss
Just a whiff of mist rising
licking my waiting lips.
This fragrant kiss
too rich to resist.
still I linger
Watching a finger of steam rise,
A swirling cirrus blurring the blue
And lifting my eyes
to rippling sky loud with clouds
tossing sparrow song, crow clamor
and inner chatter
Asunder.
A moment of wonder
winging, singing, flinging me
into caffeinated gratitude.
Solitude Ah, bliss.
He poured umbra over his shoulders sluicing color off his back to puddle languidly in desolate corners and seep soundlessly away spilling frail filaments of lost light his grief made lucent
on lusty scrape of wind, she soars to settle, hushed,
too dense with lilt of pine and sun to rise anew
her satin feathers rest yet fluoresce air, unrushed,
with languid fragrant breath of slow perfume
tainted wild and wrestled from wind and shadowed sky
and froth of flagrant tempests yet to bloom
she’s harbinger, soul-singer, soothsayer, spy our mothers’ muse shining through stygian gloom.
