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

Country Bear
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
Cowgirl boots cost her
just little pay
She knows to play it safe
Keepin them cowboys away
Wants soft black fur
To keep her warm at night...
they say
She murmurs by candlelight ...
Country bear soothing...
them Cowboys cause me fright
She doesn’t want a man
She’s lookin for a country bear
That’s her true fan
Cowboys want to make her purr
But a country bear is gona stretch his paws and groan
I finally found her
Big bear wont mind what she does with that hair
Cause he’s her country bear
She’s his woman
He’s her furry scare
Try not to stare
When they’re hittin the town fair
Kissin at the top of that ferris wheel
Ladies want to know
What’s that she feel
Township whispers..
there she goes
Smoochin that big bear
Maybe it ain’t no big deal
This is too surreal
Watching this
They eatin cotton candy
in complete bliss
Later in fright
Before the early light
All the ladies pray
Keep them cowboys at bay
Send me a country bear like Miss Fray
And we might promise to obey
Her secret
They want to know
She said forget it
Go to your rodeo
Bears ain’t something I’m about to share
That country woman
That country bear
It’s the perfect love affair

Parallel Universe
Marigolds Fever Aug 2018
Parallel universe
A universe redone
What is real
One in your mind is fun
One in your heart is what you feel
Multi layered love
Layers of human reality
When looking from above
Like the mourning dove
Who’s actuality
Is a lonely spotted seed
Only to detect
The things that work out perfectly

Dancing Earth
Marigolds Fever Aug 2018
Dancing earth
Like the sunflower that chases the sun
With her earthly run
Like the night-flower that blooms by a brilliant moon
As those leaves reveal their color off Fall
When they do not hide who they are at all
A dancing Earth
With its bountiful worth
A message they send
An earthly proclamation
Of all existent adoration
A soul is on the mend
When it dances with them

Love - 15
Marigolds Fever Aug 2018
There’s no if or almost in tennis or with love
No half feeling it.
No hitting half in.
Your mind cant be there one moment
And not be there the next
Love is everything & nothing at all.
You can be too bitter
Not to hit a winner
Love & tennis will play you just the same
With It’s tough game.
You must keep your eye on the ball
Trying not to hit the intentional pitfalls
If not played right on the line
Will knock you out every time
When you stretch to make that shot just right
Of continuing to believe its worth the fight
Logic & emotion intertwined
Remember love & tennis are just games of the mind

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

The Stream
Marigolds Fever Sep 2018
The Stream
Carries the mighty twig along
Through its winding turns
Gets stuck under a rock
But not for long
When the fisherman comes
And pushes it to the dock
There it hangs out
For awhile
Making new Friends
Near the wet branch pile
Some are thick
Some are thin
Some are cracked
And some are its twin
A sudden big splash
The kids have jumped in
Off the twig goes
Where it ends up
It does not know
Entwining with another twig
Around each lily pad
Like perfectly aligned dancing feet
That must have been meant to meet
Together they move swiftly through the water
Stuck underneath some large kelp
Its liked friend is there to help
Over the mini waterfalls they flow
Never really know which will let go
Eventually it starts to pour
And a wave crashes them to a shore
Together they are not no more
One transcends to a useful walking stick along the ridge
The other becomes part sandcastle bridge
Stopped serving their purpose
They did not
At midnight they are tossed back in
Rough waters ahead
They start to spin
Mighty twigs gave it their best shot
And then they began to slowly rot

Mist
Marigolds Fever Aug 2018
Lovely sky with your palettes of blue
Wispy clouds go by
And your dark night appears
Threat of rain
Earthly grasses excitement refrain
Not to become filled with delight
For the black clouds have turned their bellow
This rain is not for you young blades
Tonight you must hope for cool to create your misty dew
And in the morning when the yellow warmth begins
You can hope once again
The next misty cloud is just for you.

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

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

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

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

Diamond Mind
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

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

Lasagna Bake
Marigolds Fever Aug 2018
There once was a woman who lived in a barn.  Her walls were painted picture blue.  When she crawled upon the floor, she thought my goodness I've never done this before.  She ran out to the farm to see what was the matter and yelled what am I going to do with all this cattle.  No one to help her.  She felt all alone. she thought to herself, I better adjust my tone and she began to whistle and hum a note or two. Them off in the distant land, she saw the shadow of tan.  The shadow yelled have no fear I am your Italian man!  She ran back in the barn and tied the hinges tight and scurried around in fright.  She spoke to the picture on the wall.  She said Grandma, I did ask for this at all.  She began to cook and make the worst lasanga bake.  Even the ricotta cheese was fake.  She said surely this will send him away.  When her pan of fraud was piping hot, she invited him to smell the ***. He grinned a big grim that even his mustache looked as though it would win.  mmm mmm mmm he exclaimed as he touched the tin.  She rolled her eyes and thought this man hadn't known what I bought.  She politely said sit down and enjoy, for a good meal is needed for a big boy.  She stepped in the kitchen and snickered as he took a bite and thought if this doesn't **** him I might.  She heard a scream and ran back to the table.  The man was gasping as he read the ricotta label.  She said what is it? what is it?  Is there something wrong with my gable?  He laughed so hard he could hardly breathe.  He said this is the ricotta my mother ate when I was conceived!

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

Ice Forest
Topiary chorus
Nature sings
Tree tops swing
Mystical chanting forest
Young branch rest
On wave of terra firma crest
Frozen crystals
On the rim
Of the icy limbs
Tree roots band
Hiding from breezy land
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

Endearing Old world
Her heart shattered into tiny pieces
Felt as though she had nothing to say
only slight whispers
She found herself looking for solace
wondered why the owner of her heart won’t make peace
And reflected about pain you might feel
Does it feel like hers
Even though you cast a shadow of loveliness, beauty and mystery
Inside you
She touches your soft branches
Tears look up to you
Begging for your comfort
Your vibrations to heal her heart
Her soul connected to another
who walks along ur dirt crust
It cannot relay with all the fuss
Asking you to completely discuss
For it is you that she only trusts

Candied World

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”

***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...

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

Windsong
Whistles in the night
Brushes by in the light
Wind & song swoon
A soft certainty
Of perfect euphony
harmonious occasions
Without persuasion
After sunset
cares cooling
A weakening wind
Fills the air
A strengthening song
Of fear and doubt
Brought together by a strong bout
Atmospheric changes
And a sudden separation
Wind and song no longer a combination
Wind quiets her whoosh
song moves on crooning oh look at that green bush
Energy’s euphoric circulation

Pillars of beauty
Garden stroll
Delicate flowers seen
Fragrant herbs of green
Historic hall

They walk a trail
Near a bridge of history
And watch a step on a track
Paddle the moonlight

Sedimentary rock
Years of process

Bringing colored layers of bold
Stones that provide heat

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

Pieces Of Life

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

Narrow path filled with soft wings

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

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.

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

Marigolds Fever Aug 2018
R u takin time
to see some beauty
in that flower
hug ur friend hello
R  u takin time
Just to care for one another
Did u remember ur mother
or even a lover
Did u take time today
just to be there
Time Rushin by
Its Rushin by
Do u remember
to be so little
U had all the world’s time
How does it feel now
to not care to hear
an I’m doing fine.
Im doing fine
Ur Rushin by
Ur takin time
Doing all that digital mayhem
Do remember a time
before all this
To be in complete bliss
Don’t forget ur time is
rushin by
Its rushin by
It’s Takin time
R u takin time to be there
Went by the old high school
Stopped in
to see those old teachers
One was cryin
One was still teachin
Tears flowing from the eyes
Words ringin true
Tellin me Things are not the same
There’s dust on these desks
Said how are you doin ***
What you do
I said I’m real successful now
I got all the best
He said yeah thats great
But are you taking time
Taking time....
...to be there
Takin time...
to Be where u need.

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

Silvery Light
Marigolds Fever Nov 2018
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

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

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

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

Ghost chance
Translucent trance
Appear in the season
For a reason
Never hide
From a ghostly guide
Who oversees
You and me
   M  ight Be
   E  very Other You
   S  ee
   S  upernal
   A  ngel In All
   G  uidance

   S   hifts
With token gifts
Of heavenly drift
Intercepting
Calm and accepting
Playing amidst
Maybe even kissed
By divine

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

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

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

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

Heavenly Sweet

Heavenly Sweet
Fig frosted treat
With fancy minced meat
Steamy latte cup
S  biscuit
A sloppy sup
         M  aple apple cinnamon
         E  atable fruitcake panettone
         M  ound of coconut bars                      
         O  range pumpkin muffin jars
         R  aspberry peanut butter jams
         I   ced sugared yams
         E  ye candy almond brittle
         S  now butterball mouth spittle
Cherry jubilee on velvet cheesecake
A proud baker proclaims, “I make”
Bread pudding’s caramel sauce
Cannoli center chocolate ricotta gloss
Anise waffle layer powder dust
On warm iron it crusts
Vanilla cookie shape
Crystal sprinkles after it bakes
Celebration feasts
Of sinful delightful sweets!

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

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

Majestic’s Roam
Marigolds Fever Nov 2018
Majestic’s eager roam
Ivory pony
On rocky loam
~
By towering gatehouse
After spring’s water douse
~
Gallops away
Airy April day
~
Dust & debris
Scampers free
~
Glimmer pale sunlight
Over dolomite
~
Through shadows of trees
Countryside bees
~
Scatter young clover
Black & yellow flyover
~
Cloudless sky sprints
Pony muddy imprints
~
Soft pine on ground
Resting doe is found
~
Grassy knoll
Embers of winters last coal
~
Air soft and warm
Passed gentle spring storm
~
Down twisting hills
With peaking daffodils
~
Starry night appears
Trot pioneer
~
Majestic’s roam
Had led to home
~
A previous land
Where seashells line
Paths of sand
