Oh daylight star burning bright red
My shadow stands mute on the mountain
Please whisper my secrete name
Over distant lands I have seen

Will solitude never tire of silence,
And thereby long to sing?
Hearing not of the winds of June,
Means not that they have lost their tune.

Never did I know how subtle,
Was the secret success of silence,
Till thunderous showers ravaged my valleys,
Shattering my stillness to fragments.

Silent mirrors of night-stained waters,
Where do you keep your secret tomorrows?
Floating on petals of glistening calmness.
Then drifting away in shrouded sorrows

Oh stormy eyed woman,
Only dark and desolate places,
Can bear your clouds tonight.
Like a young and petulant child,
scribbling quick with curious hands,
The colors of your cloudy traces,
leave silver lightning on our faces.
Patient as water turned to ice,
motionless trees within the night,
Sigh in longing for a bright sunrise.
Only those who perish a bit,
Can bear your crackling light.
Impatient though,
you won’t stay long,
Blowing westward to the call,
Of distant fields in thirsty song.

The sounds of her sighs
Slid voluptuously
Long into my wakening nights
She made me a lover,
Of common things,
She made me a lover, of light.

I loved the sun.
And so it rained like pain,
upon my questing head.
Drops flowing down my slender stalk,
Fine steel quills drenched again,
Only to bend as flowers do,
Before the will of the wind.

Winter rain means little to summer,
Falling as it does in December.
But the cool wind of the years end,
Leaves spring grieving for winters relief,
Weeping as the chilly rain,
Then turns into its frozen lover.
Ron Jan 2021
Beauty is a late soaking rain,
on a long dead garden.

Beauty is a sunny face,
On a sad cloudy day.

Beauty is a feather,
Floating lazy in the sky.

Beauty is knowledge
Of times uncomfortable,

Beauty is surreal.
Ron Jan 2021
As my temperature rose
at indifferent eyes
a cold breath tried to escape,
as steam from my imprisoned smile.
