DREAMS OF MY OWN WISHING

THEN like when early mornings
nodding wakefully by sunlight
and youthful slowly days turning
the page of that thick book of life
by when had once, and of their
loved moments of glad grace,
and the song of tender feelings
that by nature sings to hearts
between/below the rays of light
by babbling brook and glowing bars
And swollen tears too pregnant to birth
the breach of wishing, little sadly,
to see the dream fleeing upward
into the misty mountains overhead
I hide my own heart; my own life
the precious dreams of my own wishing!

ODE OF BOTANICAL GARDEN

THAT nature!  She soothed my
beating heart this day!
The sound of throated-love
She sang in trees till
Spring became a burning
summer, I too!  Did I burn?
Somewhere upon the ode
of Botanic Gardens!
The birds.  The floral
passion of God’s eyes!
And all of me went walking
that day with the mystery
— a woman I wish to know!
A maritime — a Marina
I wish to know!

SINCE WHEN BEGINNING

since when beginning
i always did
believe in you
that I did always
love that till I loved
never lived me
till I loved you
I did always love
my heart told me
that I never lived
until I loved
since when beginning
i did always love you

THE WEEPING QUEEN

And wet was night
the blades of green
by full moonlight
and spring.
The little ones
upon the ground
moved toward the
window-sill
to see the queen,
weeping within
the night!
And hushed; the woods
and flying hearts and
creeping life,
and shadow things;
the queen be sad!
And lit by grief
like falling stars
began to chant,
“The queen must
laugh and not
be sad!”
And all o’ flowers
and tender things
began to dance
angelic song!
And Queen did smile;
her spirit lifted
by sweet Nature.

THE ALMOST UNSPEAKABLE

twine thou heart
unto mine
speak what love
tis time!
we merrily share
in life
And all of life
just one moment
we cherish
entwined in love!

WHAT LOVE IS

What love is without hope?
and nature nurtures
these two!      be it winged
or those that walk upon
two;            love is by nature
a thing unmatched!
and i died the small death
watching you; walk
toward my heart.  I dreamed
the long dream sleeping
until awoken by a touching
softly fluttering butterfly
like your eyes searching my soul.
and then!  what space between
lovers like you! and myself
closed upon the seeking lips
confirmed.  Love is here,
where we reside, a house of hope
built upon two hearts as one.

THE FIRST LOVE

I can see across
the ages
and your smile
always seems so fresh!

a moment in time:
we kissed beneath
the apple tree!

you took the bite (of me)
and i cried:
I shouldn’t have
let you
torture me so sweetly,

an entire world pays our sin.
I could never say
‘no’ to you and you;

a withered reed blowing
in time.  but I’m an
“unforgiven” as you are my love
but it’s good,

so good enough  to see a world
birthed from this love!
Oh come toward me let’s be;

good enough.  So good enough
for all of us, oh, i could
never say ‘no’ to you.

DEVOTION

i walk the meadows lovingly
and today chanced upon
a feeling!
and my feet left mortal
ground to fly      away!
toward the skies and
love i chased!
was you, oh! always you!
affection mirrored
in that morning dew
allegiance like the hills
and passion, the river
that never remains still!
that love i chased
always devotion,
it be at least like
nature but so more
like you!

I LIKE IT WHEN YOU WHISPER

i like it when you whisper
and the world in hushed lips
fallingly desires more.
that you sing while speak,
all within my own heart.
i too fall within you
filled within my soul
you and mine within yours.

i like it when you whisper
and the world wishes too!
to know what madly
soaring hearts say when
the sun sleeps and angels
snore; i too fall within you
you are a part of my soul.
i’d like for you to stay forever!

mostly i like it when you whisper
love within my heart side-by-side
at night within our spooned bed
and the moon smiles and falling
stars wish they had one as you
i like it when you whisper to me.

P L U M E R I A

By far the most beautiful
name of nature’s bosom
the love i chase in fields
oh my…
Plumeria!
That you fragrant mostly
when angry light hides!
beneath both moon and
within solemn sigh
together we ponder
moon!

Like moments — I am lost,
you prefer sphinx moths
and they –> shallow hearts
so your hunger for sun
and water I diligently give

my soul the star
the tears your water!
