Evergreen
Marigolds Fever Nov 2021
I heard your crickets chirp on summer nights.
I heard you roar in the bitter winter
In the spring i heard your birds celebrate your greenery
And in between
I saw your golden light set
Every autumn night
Oh how i loved you so
How i loved you so
And when I became too old to take care of you
I said I must let you go
I must let you go
But as the tide turned
And Changes came around you
I still came to see a gentle fawn’s shoe
In the stillness of the bitter cold
Your warmth was still there
Like arms through the air
That held me tight
And told me to still care
Remnants of your hayfield
Grown from pure seed
Oh how i loved you so
I loved you so
My evergreen  
My forever nature queen

When Hearts Are Home
Marigolds Fever Dec 2019
The Heart is home
Where hope takes root
And love flows
Where we can celebrate a strong bond

I wana wish you a beautiful Christmas
I wana wish that your heart is home.

Where goodbye becomes
The adore
And hello means
Stay evermore
That sound
Is the dreamy home
You found

I wana wish you a beautiful Christmas
I wana wish that your heart is home.

When Hearts are home
Chairs at table
When we’re apart
For who owns your heart
They share in the feast
When hearts are home

I wana wish you a beautiful Christmas
I wana wish that your heart is home.

Twinkling by twilight
Their love floats high
A colorless bright
In your home sky

I wana wish you a beautiful Christmas
I wana wish that your heart is home.

Stay awhile
Won’t you
This is the plea
When hearts are home
They are free
To walk the ice castle with me

I wana wish you a beautiful Christmas
I wana wish that your heart is home.

Inside the snowy globe I roam
When my heart is home
Each snow flake is unique
That lands on my nose
But I am not froze
I know home is waiting
With a hot cup of cocoa
And the memories of you
When hearts are home

I wana wish you a beautiful Christmas
I wana wish that your heart is home.

Loyalty and Love
Marigolds Fever Dec 2019
Either too young or too old to call your own

Experience has made it hard for you to roam

I wana know a little bit about loyalty and love

Loyalty and love for you and me

Not going to fix the heart to see it tear apart

While you keep lookin up

When will you see

It's half full your cup

Home is where the heart is

Don't wish for a lighter load

Wish for broader shoulders

To bring you home, once again

I wana know a little bit about loyalty and love

Loyalty and love for you and me

It’s not that hard

If you look directly in the sun

You might get blinded

By its light

But that intense heat

Is what makes us feel complete

I know it’s possible to dream

Isn’t that what makes us a human being

I wana know a little bit about loyalty and love

Loyalty and love for you and me

Don’t write it off like you’re scared

You know it’s the only path home

They say life is better when you’re paired

So if you agree

Would you take my hand

And tell me you’ll forever be my man

I wana know a little bit about loyalty and love

Loyalty and love for you and me

Let’s set each other’s hearts free

Let them grow to what they should be

A little bit of loyalty and love

For you and me

In The Warm Rain
Marigolds Fever Oct 2019
In the warm rain
Puddles form
Near October’s Yellow mums  
Of sturdy stalks
Where soft petals interlock
A temperate cool
On each molecule
In the warm rain
That drips on a face
Of pellets from above
Watering angel about the place
Filled with the grace
Of a heavenly love
In the warm rain
A heart filled with wonder sustains
Can grow and blossom
In nature of what is beautifully awesome
With its strength tied to sturdy soil
To colors that will not spoil
In the warm rain
Where love takes to divine terrain

Seasonal Me
Marigolds Fever Sep 2019
I can bring you flowers in the Spring time
I can wrap you in the Winter
If you hold my hand in Autumn
we can fall together in the leaves
In the Summer you can navigate me
like a boat upon the sea

I’m just your seasonal me
I’m just your seasonal me

We can change together
In all the colors that may be
To a cool powdery dust
that leaves us blowin free
At humid dusk
We can smell the purple fragrant musk

I’m just your seasonal me
I’m just your seasonal me

In the starry dark sky
we can connect the dots and wonder why
As the sun floats her golden light
We can savor the birds that take their flight

I’m just your seasonal me
I’m just your seasonal me

September’s Game
Marigolds Fever Sep 2019
September’s Game
Hardball acclaimed
In the Outfield
Ambitions revealed
A pop fly
Up to the sky
Little fists pound the glove
In hopes they’ll catch one from above
Pitch a fastball
Batters stand tall
Slide to first
Some Wet Dirt
Is dispersed
Cleats dig
Arms S t r e t c h e d
51 Fetched
Catcher configs
Ghostly image of a bambino zigs
Swing the diamond
Beating hearts respond
Mysterious wonder
September’s game grows fonder

All In A Chord
Marigolds Fever Sep 2019
All in a chord
A well deserved award
At times a lonely life
With its strife
Captured in song
Made us feel as though we belong
A life of good
Where we stood
Observing truth and wonder
Of how you did not squander
It’s rhyming with rhythm
Life’s body algorithm
Of finding purpose where we stand
In this not so distant human land
All in a chord
As our heart strings poured
A connection we must not dismiss
As our souls distantly kissed
All in a chord
As remembered on vinyl record

Sunset Summer
Marigolds Fever Sep 2019
Sunset summer
Autumn forth comer
Grass peppered dew
Overpass view
Carnival lights
Soar to heights
Squeaking metal
Popcorn kettle
Circle warm wander
Time squander
Swing round
Hearts pound
Pretzel king
Stand with plastic rings
Great fair
The strangest air
Summer night
With the highest kite
Candy apple red
Gunpowder overhead
Waxed lips
Ice cream drips
Short skirts
Music flirts
Spirits soar
Frothy waves on shore
Star shooter
Nighttime lingers sooner
Sunset summer closes
With bountiful roses
Copper colored nights
We ride high....
....In the sunset summer flights

Opal’s Moon
Marigolds Fever Jul 2019
Opal’s Moon
In warm June
White reflection
Silica collection
Daisy fields sway
Thousand years of white
Nature ignites
Precious find
One of a kind
Someone’s loss
Washed to the shore
By sea moss
Colors shimmer bright
Silver like moonlight
Nothing lacking
B-O-L-D and fUn
Start your summer packing
Find your opal in the sand
On a ring band
Where you belong
Sing a seasonal song
At twilight
It’s pure highlight
Gray marble in the sky
Floatin’ stone flashlight
Look up and wonder why
See its gaze back at you
What is precious
Is not a lie

STORMY
Marigolds Fever Jun 2019
If I was walkin’ in a rainstorm,
Would you follow after me?
With the weight of heat
Where two hearts meet
Weather the heartache
A thundery shake
Near the lake
Temperature rise
From a saturated sky
As we gaze upon the darkness of life
Through the clouds flickering light
Winds change the degree
Distance between high energy
Mother Earth quench her thirst
With deep emotion dispersed
Wet grass sunny hope
Rainbow sightings kaleidoscope
Soothing raindrops beat
Where shadows reappear
As our storms clear
Year after year

Green Space
Marigolds Fever May 2019
Score the winnings
Early beginnings
Romanced
With a grass glance
Slowed pace
Precious green space
Leave to return  
For the yearn
Evening light
That will ignite
Angels through pine
With each hole design
Happy voices  
High five rejoices
Rest stop
A little pop
Time to play
Straight fairway
A caddy dreams
Downstream
Bucolic life
All beauty no strife
Lake’s shadow
At dusk aglow

Little Ukulele
Marigolds Fever Apr 2019
Little ukulele
Played daily
In the sun
Grassy regale
All for fun
Chipmunks, squirrels, birds
Know how it's done
Rabbits belong
To the nature sing song
Animals dance
To the melody happenstance
Imagine with the mind
Birds struttin just fine
Like they've had too much wine
If she creates
They will not hestitate
Music vibe
Can intoxicate
Percussion beat
Sound treat
For tiny happy feet
That live across the street
Uke bambino
Prancing merino
String plucks
Chickens cluck
Mini wooden instrument
Becomes a friend
To them
When she's walkin with that little ukulele
Ever so gaily

If You Leave
Marigolds Fever Apr 2019
Becky turns  on her  radio
It’s 4’oclock you see
Says she’s got a date with just me
Her Keds dazzled in red
With thoughts of Psychedelic Furs in her head
Thomas headin home
On the floor of ole truck lies his 80s comb
Hasn’t seen old school in years
The thought brings him to tears
Michael’s on a break
Wants to take time by the lake
Thinkin about Sarah
And that iconic leg warmer era
When she hadn’t worn waterproof mascara
Sarah walkin thru the old store
Hears em say, vintage is a good score
Records musty smell
Makes her feel swell
Polaroid on a shelf
Drifts back to a time of her younger self
Instant prints
Memory hints
Friends together
In spring weather
High school dance
Parachute pants
Puffy sleeve print
Tubular and mint
Neon color
Teenage pustalar
This much is true
With a Converse shoe
Glares, stares and dares
Waves in their hair
Synth-pop
They bop
First crush
They blush
Friendship pins
Shy grins
Floppy disks
The unsaved risks
Laughs enter
In present time
Fallen purse
Fate or curse
Hand holds out a dime
Blank look
Like a old good book
Mumble jumble
Who do you see
lookin back at me
In a flash
It all goes past
Familiar face
Of time & place
If you leave
No one would believe
Together again
It was then
When they remembered when

Gleaming in the valley
Sweet airy dress

Countryside where she yonder
In flaming distress

She’s far in wander

Candied World
Marigolds Fever Feb 2019
She’s talkin to cows again
Cattle candied side
Licorice fence
A mother hen’s
Cherry eggs
Chocolate fudge smears
On her legs
Slide over grape ice pond
Atop frosted clover
Sugared world beyond
Three soft cows before her
Describe the candied world
One says, “I produce chocolate milk just for me
A little bit of strawberry for she
And vanilla for all three”
Smooth Cocoa will flow
Sweetness will fill your pores
A crystal rain pours
Sugared quartz upon
Caramel whirlpools
Nature’s homemade molecules
Blueberry skies drip
Fields of lollipop
Glimmer rainbow sunshine
Sweetest Harvest
Candy wrappers fall
Wind blows them
Over by candy-wax waterfall
Marshmallow hikes
With chocolate pretzel poles
Strands of sugary pink glass fall From Cotton candy clouds
A new farmer’s way to plow
He says, “young lady
Do you vow
Cherish this nutritional place
And make it your Delectable space?”
“I do” she proclaims ~
“To make it mine
I have no shame
Only a request
Of cinnamon I suggest
A form of healing zest
Sprinkled on this candied land
Where you are I so happily stand
A powerful purpose
You will see
Your nose will thank you
I suppose
A Favorite of every herbivore
From a former land I will go no more
An offer of sticky bun
To sweeten the score
From here to the slushie seafloor
Of a confection land adored”

Courageous Love
Marigolds Fever Feb 2019
Love From Afar
Under same stars
Fall in love they might
Their families resent with fight
Conflict in distant land
Where they stand
A rich woman
Poor man
Dreams tied to hearts
Led them to part
A modest church
In historic square
Where they eloped
To become forever paired
Homes take to fertile hillside
Built with heritage pride
They start a new name
A family they became
Over large pond
A new world bond
Where life begins
A story of grins
Pasta tins
And century old hairpins
Upon new ground
In a northern town
House they found
Happy voices inside
Fill the silenced sound
Life no longer at stake
When the warm bread begins to bake
Piping hot saucepot
Decendents never forgot
Even now
As is
Forever a parking lot.

Marigolds Fever Jan 2019
Her Diamond Mind
Rests in Pure Carbon Mine
Shining Fluorescence
Never left her with obsolescence
Light refraction
Quite the distraction
Ice rink on her finger
A monetary stinger
Gem best friend
How much did he spend?
Frozen Pond reflection
of the hardest affection
Ice rock speaks to only her
Don't be a gem amateur
Clear crystal quartz won't do Sir
with its dim blurr
Follow the four C's
Scintillation gleams
Cut determines its prism
At first sight brings hypnotism
Color - a rainbow brilliance
Smiles with each glance
More clarity for radiance
All eyes may be romanced
Be prepared for a trance
Carat weight
Might be the bait
Year after year
Continual glimmer
With every light flicker

***WISHES***
Marigolds Fever Jan 2019
Like the dance of a song bird
That whistles its secret
Over an icy lane
And believes  
In a wishing plea
So~~~
Wish on a pine tree
Just for me
Wish down a well
But never tell
Wish on a star
Hope it goes far
Wish on a birthday candle
May it return that which
Only you can handle
Something that brings divine bliss~~~
Did you wish for a chocolate kiss?
Wish on a penny
May it fill your cup with many
Wish on founded feather
May hearts bond forever together
Wish on a four leaf clover
Don’t forget the songbird’s flyover
Wish on a dandelion
Wind carries its seed to fresh pine
Wish on an eyelash
Maybe for a little cash
Wish on a turkey wishbone
Before desserts blueberry scone
Colored rainbow high in sky
A wish to gratify~ oh my
Wish on high moon
Above a blue lagoon
Wish on digital eleven
To be granted by seven
Wish on flying ladybug
May it be returned with the tightest hug
Wish on a stone’s flat side
For a spiritual guide
Wish on coins in a fountain
Picturesque terrain
Of water~ not champagne
Acorn wishing tree
Better wish more than three
Wish as you move necklace clasp
Held tightly in your grasp
~~~
Believe in a secret you’d like to tell
One you said by a wishing well
That wishing tree
With your written ribbon of plea
Is nothing like ~~~
The wish under bright fireworks
As your angel quietly smirks...

Silvery light
Channel a white night
Clear and bright
Crystal ornamental maples
Cranberry leaves
Fall from eaves
Seasonal staples
Pile in gardens
Ground hardens
Below pumpkins
Left in their patch
Tree lights attach
On newly thin branch
Sculptures of ice begin
Beneath each frozen chin
Starry eyes
Blink in dark skies
Hot chocolate creams
Fires pop
Near frozen streams
Ice sculptures silvery light show
By steeple glow
Bells chime
Soft trills
Whiffs of cinnamon bread
In each head
Radiant illuminations
Glare with each stare
Pathway gleams
In silvery light dreams

Criss cross as they talk
Underneath sleeping stalks
Spellbind
In seasons time
Smells divine
Of needled pine
First snow fall
Through wind and fright
Bend its limb at night
Glassy water trail
Reflect airborne quail
Doe track grooves
Her muddy cold hooves
Escaping slaughter
Protecting the precious
Ice forest daughter

Glitter Wish
Marigolds Fever Nov 2018
Glitter Wish
Wind blows frosty air
A winter day’s fair
Drafty windows
Speak of breezes
Wishes beg please
Spirit stood beside
To be a guide
Eternal wish
Her majesty hissed
Air sent a silent cry
Old building mumbled
With relic pride
Felt far and wide
Highest aspire
Whispered from spring meadow
Through waves of orange delight
In a valley so low
Dandelion seed
Brought to snow
Gently by the window
Wish glittered
Sunlight flickered
Opened doorway
Placed to stay
Sparkled truth
Held for years
Glitter wish
Came without fears
Or escaping tears
Elegant passion
A seed returns back
In formal fashion
A crafted wish
On a day it was softly kissed

Strawberry Cove
Marigolds Fever Oct 2018
Strawberry cove
Water reflects sky above
Sunlit bay
On a crystal clear day
Sandhills roll
Tiny bird peers from little hole
Washing sandy feathers
Near small vessels tethered
Fishermen lurk about
Scattered fish
Make a last wish
White chilled on rocks
Fruit floats
Refreshing drink
Icey wine coats
Gently as boats sway
Sweet succulent way
Strawberry cove
Nature’s liquid dessert
Sugared water spurt

Night At The Garbage Dump
Marigolds Fever Oct 2018
Night at the garbage dump
Sparkle starlight night
Leaves room for little delight
Speedy legs
Out for a spin
Adventure begs
Drags the wind
Follow a leader
To a place one longs to linger
A flight that’s eerie
What’s in store
Darkness galore
Only four hilltops more
Up up up
Around the bend
Climb to come back again
Clouds through moonlight
Old concrete pebbled on the side
Glow with strange historic pride
Field grasses slow to bend
Smells you would not befriend
Below dark field
A collective treasure of human endeavor
One would not dream whatsoever
Crunchy soil
A perfect spot for the voile
Sit below the grassy line
Take in the oddity with too much wine
Head on a swivel
Watch your back
Never know what’s lurking to attack
Time is up
Must not leave the cup
Only once a garbage dump  
Watch the stump
Fly down in pitch dark
Not mistaken for the park
Former mans duty
Listen closely
To the beckoning tutti
It sings in rare night beauty

Pieces Of Life
Marigolds Fever Oct 2018
Pieces of life
Scattered about
Silent treasures
Without meaning
Salutation greetings
Ghostly images of youth
Places of truth
Slices of life’s pie
Only tasteful to the eye
Affairs of life
Time & places known by one
Maybe by two
Speckles of a memoir dust
A foggy grey
Heart portraits stay
Of memory served
Left to farewells
To be thrown in mind’s well
A blackhole abiss
Never to be missed
Or treasured again
Some pushed together like clay
Others drift away
Hearts full of broken memories on display

Spirits Walk
Marigolds Fever Oct 2018
Spirit walk
What’s Lurking behind
Glowing lanterns
Beautiful site
Rustic buildings beam firelight
Don’t be fooled
A sign of fright
Creeky doors
Ghouls shuffle on wood floors
Smell of must begins the play
No turning away
Bystanders Listen carefully
Chanting bully
A spell at midnight 
Pink flesh turns white
Fires crackle
Caldrons bubble
Historic walk
Not for those who balk
Hear a screeching squawk 
Turn back
Creeper on the attack
Spirit moonwalk
Grab a tomahawk
Orange glow 
Leads to a frightful show

Lightning Bug Lane
Marigolds Fever Oct 2018
Lightning bug Lane
Covered brushed terrain
Blinking lights dance in Grassy knoll
And Dazzle as one gently strolls
Just after twilight
In calm wind
Little specs of light begin
Narrow path filled with soft wings
Human hearts sing
Of bioluminescence flight
That Brings a feeling of utter delight
Grab the hand within reach
A dark perspective for each
Wander to path end
Turn around
And come back again
Flashing light patterns
Seeking mates
By the creek bed
They await

Rock The Beat
Marigolds Fever Oct 2018
Rock the beat
Where they meet
Dark clouds hang
Then roll by
Silver bubbled bottoms
From the sky
Pattern change
Cool outside
A seasonal bore
Different heat through double door
Lasers just above the riser
Colored lights bounce off the floor
Music lovers leave no disguise
And feel as though they can fly
Rock the beat
Those dancing feet
Time goes by
Smiles for awhile
Empty bottle pile
Leave em feeling high
Human stars flare
Without any care
They take their bow
Light below horizon now
Gaseous anomalies
Twinkle bright
No chilly fright
Dancers take their seat
It’s a season to rock with heat
And never be off beat
Oct 2018 · 595
Feathered Friends
Marigolds Fever Oct 2018
Feathered friends
Fly Together again
Follow the moon
They soar high
They dip low
Through the air
Without care
Into bright cratered spotlight
Heavens brilliance
At midnight
Soft lives touch the other
Pass by
Side by side
Hanging on for the ride
Know the way
By the reflective bay
Through the loop of tallest pines
Not one dares to whine
Gratitude among them
Hearts know
The blue marbled gem
Feathered friends glow
Fly by
The humans that cry
Teaching love
A feathered show

Rose’ Love
Marigolds Fever Oct 2018
Rose’ love
Red hot
It was not
White cold
They felt quite bold
Sip Chilled and never spilled
Rosette blush upon the cheeks
Had taken more than weeks
Surprised by silly charm
Finally in an arm
It did not matter what the affair
Slow to care
Swoosh of mouth
It Never went south
Puckered face
Settled about the place
With an invisible crown
A dance in the middle shade
Rose’ love finally conveyed
Waiting to see
Will he take a knee
Clink of the glasses
Time passes
Clear cool pink
Not too sour
Or too sweet
Rose’ love
Sent from above
A slow to passion treat
Was never quite beaten by other tasty heat

Paint Walk
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
Paint walk
Spot leafstalk
In farm below
With sky above
A rich magenta
Soft as yellow polenta
Fowl love
The shifting wind
Light cloud formation
Ending vapor circulation
Slow breeze
Evening trees
All see
Changing earth
Naturalistic worth
Scenic eye candy
Life’s sugared brandy
Lavish colors
Nature lovers
Make mother nature blush
With her universal paint brush

A Town
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
A Town
Short journey
To blue bird oasis
Sky and earth kiss
Whiskey distilled
Tasty brewed concoctions
Groovin' on a flip side
Village life resides
Divine estates
Pillars of beauty
Garden stroll
Delicate flowers seen
Fragrant herbs of green
Historic hall
Blue light
Glowing every night
Sunsets glimmer on water ways
They walk a trail
Near a bridge of history
And watch a step on a track
Paddle the moonlight
They come back
Tranquility or venture
Life’s thirst quencher
History in a town
Signs observed
To be found
All part of
Dynamic and preserved

Hazy
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
Hazy
Trippy lights
Dreamy Colors
Take flight
Psychedelic night
Slow spinning action
Little wild beasts
No good as one
Together they won
Soft ramble
High victory
Loud chant
Stand out
Make a stance
Free flowing
Gentle floating
Through earthly space
Feathers in the hair
Thoughts of I don’t care
All love
Peace endeavor
Free to feel with the mind
And explore what’s left behind

Stones
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
Stone cairn
Not too moderne
Sedimentary rock
Years of process
Around the clock
Sunlight, wind, cold
Bringing colored layers of bold
Stones that provide heat
On a dreary day where you set your feet
Shelter and protection
Beauty in its collection
Double meanings surround
These stones that are abound
Appealing rock garden
A visionary cycle of carbon
On a planet that is well known
Of abundant natural stone

Characters of Folly
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
Characters of folly
With their agony and jolly
One who makes water
In the gutter
As bystanders shudder
One who wears a cape
Is he planning his escape
While the gentleman with the black beret
Morning walk to his frothy latte
People with sign in hand
What’s the message
Where they stand
Souls everywhere
Just the same
A powerful friendship
Could be acclaimed
Generous one
Did you find
One that lets you put your cares behind
One that talks to trees
Even in the breeze
That brings those pines to their knees
One who taunts honest and kind
While he croons those left behind
Those who seek out the good
Kindred spirits misunderstood
One who sees the light at the junction
With his guitar that’s multifunction
One who wrote look for the sunny side
Knowing the silver lining as she cried
Characters of folly
Will leave you chanting my golly

Rain
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
Rain’s light reflection
In each puddle perfection
Drops of cloud blood
Dripping minor floods
It rained that night
She thought he might
He walked away
Fog got in the way
No longer see his face
She knew he was someone good in the human race
Dark roads shimmer wet light
She did not put up a fight
Letting him go
In hopes a relationship might take flight
Rain buckets filled
No more drought
The air remained slightly chilled
A confidence spring water was about
Land soaked
Bringing life to rivers and creek beds
What was in their heads
Thoughts of rain that springs new life
In one another with no more tender strife

Marigold’s Fever
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
Marigold’s fever
Heavy heart griever
Saunters in the warm breeze
With an airy sundress tease
Soft and sturdy grassy patches
Where she matches
Rows of orange and yellow stashes
Named for the steady flower
With its strong stem tower
That humid air
Quite the flare for the flowers and her hair
She sits with her mind debates
Love and flowers she waits
Even on cloudy days
Without a phase
She sits there everyday
Pondering thoughts of flower devotion from mankind
Perhaps she has given up hope
There she is not known to be a good find
Her quiet place of solitude
Has left her not to be pursued
A day has come that’s too steamy
Left her not to be able to be dreamy
Quite the wind
Has taken her pink hat for a spin
She runs to retrieve as it flips
There she falls and trips
She hears a voice
That sounds like her choice
She looks up
Sees a man holding a pup
What has caught her eye that’s much too bright
She holds her hand up high in fright
There his hand meets hers
with marigolds held in golden light

Snowy Course
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
Snow cone twists
Far ivory countryside
Season’s change exists
A stern mother nature’s pride
Foothills that resemble cream pies
Coating pointy flakes a mile high
Birds take cover
To find a feathery mother
Try to resist nature’s feverish fight
And hide from the silvery night  
Moon beams its pearly opals
Thru rainbow colored window chapels
In the nest
Little birds try their best
Huddled up
Till daybreak
They might delight
In the white sparkle sunlight
Snowy course
A bitter adventure for the strong farmhorse
Powder puff
It kicks it up like dust
Spring a strong sense
With snow that is no longer dense
Temperatures waver
An ice storm disfavor
Crystal drops
From frozen tree tops
The chirps begin
With a little more earthly spin
Melting snow
Begins to flow
Moving water a strong force
Becomes quite the
Snowy watercourse

Ruby Red
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
Ruby red love
She didn’t give it a shove
With delicate diamonds just above
A love to find
Not the gaudy kind
Purposely shaped heart
In search of where to start
Placed upon a tiny finger
To make one stop and linger
A Ruby shine
With Red glare so clear
So much so
That one could begin to fear
What would happen if they
Tried to disappear
Runaway they might
With just cause
Of too much fright
Would bring her to shed a tear
That Red ruby so clear
Reminds her of the cheer
And the time he spilled his beer
Red ruby dazzling bright
If only see the light
Whats its symbolize
Character or compromise
She was utterly surprised
That tiny clear red ruby
A reminder
Love is never like that movie
Ruby red love
Unmistakable beauty
Recalling a late summer sunset
A clear preset
With its curves
Upon that finger
Can be a deep stinger
If not preserved
Prompts the feeling
Sensationally deserved

That Sky
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
She had to rethink
It started with a wink
Those pleasures
Bestowed upon her
And roses of pink
Gazing up to take full measure
Knowing the sky can change if she blinked
Swirly clouds of dust
With lavender hue magnified
To an orange glow by eventide
if she does not go inside
She’ll see a shooting star that’s not that high
It will be found
Coming down low to the ground
Glowing stony rock of wonder
One that Makes her stop and ponder
Those farm flowers
She remembered
She waits
Blossoms and pine
Were the bait
Charms that she never thought
Would turn to hate
With quartz rock
That held its weight
That sky
That spring date
And Love
That shared the same fate
