Illusion's Love Songs

Soft whispers
Sighing
Silver-soft moon
Illusion's
Voice
Love’s very
Wind-song
Eternally chased
Heart's goddess
Into a
Sweet Mist ~

Embracing the Roses

Crisp blue sky
Parks
The night
Their love
Rustled
In dewy
Greening gardens
…unobserved

And You Strayed into My Heart

And you strayed
Into
My heart

And I read
A genre
Of strength
Of passion
Of fidelity

Devotion
Of heart
Nourishing
Intensity

A
Soul – gift
Of dearest
Love

Delicious Wilds...

She's the concrete,
flowers, wind and sky, too!
The strong child

among

the cedars and sun
delicious wilds...

The Watering Can

And, what of those
Petunias gracing
Your new deck
Would they not die
If your hand
Did not carry
His water to
Feed their beauty

Tidying Up

Tidying
World
Anxiety
A most
Sweeping task
Is nearly as
Difficult
As my
Vain attempts
To rid my
White-tiled
Kitchen floor
Of dog fur

Love Scales Whistling

Tea kettle laugh-en
Hot Water chort-ling
Bubb-ling Boil-ing joy
Occupational
Love scales whistling
Serving savor-ed smiles
To their garden faces

Children of Uganda - repost

Agony Clad
In black wreaths
Little soldiers…once
Tiny bright-eyed legacies
Now, torn, mud-covered
And cold
Their silent tears
Of
Hope cruelly stolen
