Twisted Trees

twisted in a dance

towards the sun, they reach out

heedless of red shades

 

White Blooms

blue-veined blooms flare out

their tutus swaying coyly

worshipped by the light

Bird

brilliant blue plumage  

nature's adornment of birds

a sight to treasure

 

Daffodils

sunny petalled skirts 

gushing clusters of freshness

spring's luscious presence

 

Path

walking from sunset

let the narrow path widen

till you see the light

 

High Rise

Upon reflection

 hard high rise lines distort in

nature's fluid motion

 

Seagull

pondering over life's

mystery across land and sea

when to start and end

 

Crocuses

my heart sings with hope

when purple blooms erupt from

earth's harsh, ruthless grit

 

Jewels

 jewels of light spark

my submerged drifting weight

resurrect my soul

Water Painting

complex, shifting shapes

weave magic in transient light

entice, thrill, vanish

 

Chairs

 waiting for spring leaves

for lovers to kiss under 

the willow's embrace

 

Sheet of Silk

sheet of silk billows

lulls the flustered heart's harangue

into lush repose

 

Budding Willows

spring's lacy curtain

sways, pliant, renewed again

free of winter's weight

 

Of Gold

light filters dullness

 unclothes hues of gold insight

 dissolves greys and blues

 

Abstract

Abstract darkness plays

on water's surface, searching

below for victims

 

Seeds

One among many

in nature's ecosystem

of attractive seeds

 

Heart

exposed, endangered

yielding, mesmerized, dauntless

unconditional

 

Sumac

seeds of velvet red

dressed up to dazzle and spread

love in all seasons

 

Sparkles

 shower of sparkles 

scatter over tearful blues

the mirage of love

 

Ball

Abandoned, drifting

bobbing with the waves' applause

unmoved by glitter

staying afloat. tense

 with fear of depth, attachment

hoarding illusions
