SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Blue mountain
Summer dreams
have led me to your summit
I can breathe here
I am alone
I am at one
with your soft mists
and rugged trails
The meadows
breathe of peace
and Summer warmth
releasing perfume
of wild thyme
of honeyed air
of rosemary
and lemon thyme
I would stay here
with the pines
and lonely stars
Yet I descend
for you hold me
to the world
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Summer heat within
Hot coals igniting
I see you touch
her hand
you know I’m watching
You want me to let go
For I am burning
For you are ice and bone
and Winter snow
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
A scent bourne on the breeze
Sweet rose,anemones,
Winter jasmine blooms
by the sweet peas

A garden is a poem
of scented words
of butterflies and bees
and little birds
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Winter lace
adorns the windowpanes
Crisp white snow
crunches underfoot
a trail of crimson drops
lead to the winter woods
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Summer’s gone
I’d only just begun
to feel so free
The earth of life
of light
Just you and me
moving,dancing
by the sea
where I found shells
murmuring
their mystery
Hopeful still
I search the sky
and see a lone white dove
circling eternally
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
Green to gold
Gold to white
Light to dusk
Day to night
Rise again
in verdant green
to life and love
and cold icecream
SerpentineSky Sep 2024
I pull the curtains close
No crack of light
to penetrate the dark
the endless night

Love is a light
you say
But I in darkness stay
in your embrace
