Keep me timeless As solitude standing Like deep sea coral In an elementary world Dreaming underwater haikus Mending screens Chasing away nightmares Milky humid haze Handing out a few extra days Swimming in cerulean spread tail skies I found swallows harvesting Thin dusting of dry golden powder Cross pollinating the surface With an occasional splash from leaping fish Dorsal knifing the surface From an endless whirlwind Slowly rising caress Direct sun smiles warmth… Stepping me nearer to maligned grace Turning me inside out To a summer endless Dominating warm tingling sensations Positive energy Leaving go of thoughts Touching a connection Floating harmonious And steady as a sun doth rise The town had gone Only front steps remain Steep golden staircase Talking of air and passwords Everyone knows… Mating with some earthy thing Like the light of dusk Eternally noticing Timid poems…with no critique Internal fires Like an eagle’s sprawled wings Whispers of survivors Wide lipped basins Running over with burning water Blue pools of a garden With the keepers lifetime blood A luminous flask Like the red planet Topped with all that time means To dry as different windows In some other day…. Will power exposes her breasts Wave motion striding in crowds Invisible, with meaning Reading daily horoscopes Like colored stone The nightingale flows into words Sooths, dreams, visits my room Incredibly still & gentle Caress Like air pearls with eyes Leeward swells Bursting in violet air Ohhhh….. I sit upon the shore Recognizing a certain reference To convenience Because it associates my mind With crossed legs Of a nude soul Private confessional of bones Where white candles the heart Sifting cinders of longer rhymes Central to purifying flame Floating, floating, floating Whispering my name Images dominating Mystery filled eyes I color pebbles, unfailing dance Sensing the image Knowing time without fear Understanding majestic parts I am the worktable Who can swim In time sense…… You are there |

Enjoyed this greatly - the imagery and the feel of the words tumbling through my mind - especially like underwater haiku - Hugs - Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

“Ohhhh…..

I was here on this shore. Beautiful and pictographic. |
