Summer Haze

Sun is playing boo peek, hiding
behind long wish-washed pale blue layers
holding bleached spots with dull edges,
giving a new feel to soft sensations,
good vibrations
covering, coveting downed sides
and lifted chins…

and we never think that sun eyedrops
on lovers, hidden beneath trees
or even out in open grasses, exploring
anew old lines with shadows
and southern comfort re-designing words like
shockwaves into reformed awakenings…

and funny how years fall away
when chemistry renews what once was thought
over and done, oh/god/(ess)/yes, while silence
is filling hearts as, bereft gone are all words,
though sounds still dance on summerwinds

butterflies tickling sunbared skin

and windsongs tickle underbellies
while even ever envious clouds
join as huge, melding molten edges, entangling
their see us dance in an embrace so hard,
that their own tears softly fall
adding to the lush of must.

Somewhere a birdsound clears the air

ah.. now this.. this is good...
honest in its depths of emotion and in its imagery played metaphors...

very nicely done ma'am

This is wonderful Soleil.
Some of the images are just what I needed
to give me that push out the door
back to Quiet Waters.
Hugs!

My, beautiful . . .

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Love the "southern comfort" reference.  Reminds me of a day not long ago that I've been trying to get into verse ever since.  Enjoyed the read Soleil...

Oh this is sweet-on-sweet! Direct to my library -- you really outdid yourself with this one.

This one really took me....I was half done reading it, and realized that this was my second time through. I'd hit the end and started over without even thinking about it.

Beautiful writing, beautiful imagery, and I am going back to the days of my youth now...for some beautiful memories.  Thanks for the lovely sharing.   ....jo
