slipping off our fingers
topped with happiness, joy and love

Passion, wistful
Devouring, seizing, engulfing
Mellifluous voice of the soul

*Friendship
Blossoms with care
As a soft yellow rose
Tended with an innocent love
Brings joy*

You’re brave,
Beyond a doubt
The strongest woman known;
A testament to your strength.

My love
Rests on imaginary nails.
My body 'neath moonlit willow trees,
The siren calling, "Hari Krishna!" Pulling the monk
Out from
Under dreams of harmony and peace, to place
Love back in it's proper hierarchy.
Tossing his silken gown,
We prey.

*The leaves
Twist gold and red
and drift like butterflies
to earth, settling on crisp, cooled ground
A shawl*

Oh, Laridae,
all feathers and beak,
how we do adore your screech.
Granted, puffy, squawking bird, anything you may beseech.
Our sweet
Kleptoparasite of beach. House it anytime we meet,
with brute force and shellfish plea,
you'll be the king
of seas.

Contaminating, Traumatizing,Eradicating,
The ending of humanity,

golden yellow
and amber leaves land soft
weaving a thick warm patched quilt for
mother
earth in anticipation of
the autumn chill
and the onset of

Live in one house
Mom, dad, two boys, a girl
Happiest place on Earth, Disney?
Our house!

Kate Little's "Most used words" woven into a poem.
The words:
love remember life heart soul day cinquain kiss beautiful night
sweet man angel dream silver tears spirit words pain does gentle
hard true hope
The poem:
My vanished love,
do you not remember
the life we planned?
A vision our hearts and souls
wove together, day by day,
letters sealed with our own
cincquain kiss.
My now distant love,
how beautiful was the night
from the circle of your arms--
sweet 'tis still,
in my "man from an angel"
dream.
The lonely moon
makes a silver necklace
of my tears,
while the night winds,
once bearers of
your love's whispers,
breathe spirit words
into my shattered heart.
This careless pain you gave,
does gentle, yes,
does gentle
in time, into
a hard, true, hope.

Little Star, shine
Show how bright you can be
Show how you light up the dark sky

*Only
Cool winds embrace
The solitary soul
Wading through a rippled ocean
Alone*

Shatter
not my day dreams
fragile as glass they are
for they are all I have, to stay
alive!
Power
your dreams today
before they slip away
in the inanities of your
dull life

It came.
Again, it came.
The monster from within
making its presence felt without
a word.

To spread your wings
And soar above the clouds
Dare to dream and find contentment
