6 Short Poems From March 2009

Spring slowly begins
As slivers of green appear
Mixed amid the brown.

True love

Given to you

Unconditionally

Asking for nothing in return

My dear

Someone reached back and called to the past.

What relief is found in whispers of love

Yes it was good

Dandelions kissed by sunlight

Petals tickled by raindrops

Field bathed in green and gold.

Happy

To be with you

Through good days and bad days

Working with you to make a life

Content

Love has been reborn

Once more we're like teenagers

Who can't get enough

Our life may not be perfect

But we're giving it our all.

4 Short Poems From September 2008

Pale white flower grows
Dewdrops glisten on petals
Nature's falling tears.

Sympathetic face

Big brown eyes of sadness

Pity the dying

Three ducks in a row

Waddle beside the water

In the breaking dawn

Large and powerful

Yet each movement filled with grace

Watching the whales dance.

3 Short Poems From July 2008

On the horizon

Stands a single stalwart tree

Calling me back home.

Spoken words of love:

Empty in comparison

To a lover's smile

Tiny silver lines

Glisten in the early dawn

Catch the breaking sun

2 short poems from September 2000

Hiding from the world

Avoiding the eyes of man

Return to the depths.

There is a really tasty treat

That I do so much love to eat

Chocolate is my fave

About it I do rave

I tell you--it just can't be beat!

18 Short Poems from May 2000

A new day begins
The promise of better things
The world is at peace.

Their love is a symphony of silence

Hot notes of desire

Long gone sour.

A lone duck swims by

In the pink-orange glow of dawn--

What a lovely day.

Love is ageless

Love is warm

Only love could write

His name on my heart

With a soft kiss.

Up, up and away

High above the rocky scene--

Floating in the sky.

Pretty butterfly

Flitting among the flowers

Resting a moment.

Love is forever

Its absence results in death

Hearts cannot survive

Stark white loneliness

As far as the eye can see.

How do I escape?

Blinded by desire

And foolish words of love

We have found nothing new

Delicious memories of love

Desire overflowing

Souls long for soft words.

Expectant visions of love

Desire accentuated

Rapture imparted

A song in the night

Reminds your soul.

Palm trees provide shade

On the lonely stretch of beach

As I sit and cry

Hot drops glistening in her eye

Secrets reflected in a sigh

The day that love will die

Flitting through the air
Stopping to rest a moment

Then continuing.

Frigid wintertime

Still not as cold as your heart

When you said goodbye

In the warm afternoon

Flesh throbbing with desire--

One found love,

Another only tears.

Soft purring sounds of love

Always transform desire

Beyond what is in the mind.

My one and only;

Forever love of my life--

Till death do us part.

Little white rabbit
Nestled in the grass so green--
The Easter Bunny?

Summertime love

Picnic by the rippling brook

Orange butterflies drift across soft shadows

Desire lingers as summer ends.

In spring a sadness found her

Slowly silencing the laughter

As madness invaded.

Many hot tears flow

Fears and weakness remain

Yet time heals

Times change

Love alone knows why

It's cold and quiet

In a prison of whiteness

Totally alone

Sitting by the shore

Dreaming of a long lost love--

So lonely and sad.

The wine of love is drained

Fruitless dregs in the empty glass

Desire is in vain.

Colors in the sky

Promise of new beginnings

A smile in my heart.

Remnants of love

Trampled desire

Submerged expectations

Deserted passion

Crowned with insignificance.

Love is true

Needing nothing beyond each other

Nerves tingling with desire and longing

Heaven their reward

Shots fired in anger

Children lie bleeding, in pain

Zoos should be for fun

If only you could

Tell us all that you have seen--

What glorious tales!

Reddish sky above

Reflected in the water

All is quiet here.

Poets write of consummate beauty--

Radiant and heavenly.

Their words of praise to a lovely lady

Delight all

Sparkling ray of light

Shining deep into my soul

Showing emptiness

Prized memories of desire and love

Overflowing words

Bubbling laughter

Just will not end

Till my soul is consumed

In Hades' hot fire

My love will be yours.

Delicate flower

Like a bird on a tree branch

Poised to fly away.

18 Short Poems from April 2000

Queen of the jungle

Ruler of all that she sees

Waiting for dinner.

Here comes the spring of the year--

My favorite season draws near.

Everything starts to turn green,

Robin redbreast is seen:

We no longer need the snow gear!

Stark barren landscape

Beautiful in its own way

God's majesty reigns.

It is an end to desire

Where love stood still

This road seems endless.

Snow-capped majesty

Reflected in the water--

Twice as desolate.

The leaves on the ground--

Are they dead or yet alive?

And what of my heart?

They touch, nerves tingling

Anything can happen

For they found true love

In each other tonight.

Love is a sublime miracle

Laughter a delicious surprise

And beauty desired

Colors in the sky

After the rain is over

Bringing smiles to all.

Surveying my world

Feeling totally alone

On the brink of tears.

Thoughts of love

Cannot transform the present--

Still I desire the past's warmth.

Crisp colors of fall--

Blurred reflections in water

Are still beautiful.

Tormented souls

Obsessions and confessions

Silence and confusion

Guardian of all,

Standing watch in the desert,

Silent and alert

Limbs stripped bare of scarlet leaves--

Winter arrives in its fury

Trees shiver without their gay garments.

Surrounded by white

No color seen anywhere

Empty as my soul.

My desire is hot

I love him

Man of my dreams

Weekends--

Lazily dozing

In love's silence,

Your soul an open book.

17 Very Short Poems from March 2000

From dark midnight shadows,

Astride his painted pinto,

The Indian crossed forgetten trails.

Melancholy time

The end of another day

Sadness covers all.

Souls overflowing

Delicious moments

Desire expands

More love found

Splashes of color

Reflected in the water

Yet sadness lingers.

Ribbons of color

Move across the pale blue sky

Beautiful day.

Love encompassed scene

Hot ache of delicious desire.

Wait patiently to touch heaven

Anything may happen

Stay to the end

Another life waits

For us on the other side

Let's cross together

What could be lurking

In the darkening shadows?

Could it be my fears?

Masked intruder waits

Peering at us anxiously...

Will he run away?

Colors streak the sky

God is painting the heavens

All is peaceful at last.

Unbearably painful insignificance

Totally dispassionate words

Feel...think...reflect

Understand

Soft delicious notes

A lovely symphony

of silky desire.

Another day dawns

A time of fresh beginnings

How will you use it?

Red hot lips

Twilight sky

Desire

Beauty

Love

Stark and empty scene

Reminds me of my loneliness

Sadness everywhere

Billowy white clouds

Like little balls of cotton

Strewn across the sky

Four Untitled Short Poems

The man that I love

Accepts me just as I am

Without asking why.

The bright crimson rose

A symbol of our true love

And the life we share.

Beautiful day

Full of sunshine and great joy

Brings us true pleasure.

A beautiful child

Playing with her small puppy

In a grassy field.
