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

When Hearts Are Home

Marigolds Fever Dec 2019

When Hearts Are Home

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.

**G6, A#dim, Bm7 - Country

All In A Chord

Marigolds Fever Sep 2019

All In A Chord

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

STORMY

Marigolds Fever Jun 2019

STORMY

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

Zza

Cheesy delectable pizza
Steaming hot sauce pie
With its crispy chewy crust
Dough soft charred bits at end
Hungry stomach says when
Live for pizza lust
Satisfies
It must.

Evergreen

Marigolds Fever Nov 2021

Evergreen

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

Sunset Summer

Marigolds Fever Sep 2019

Sunset Summer

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

September’s Game

Marigolds Fever Sep 2019

September’s Game

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
