When nature blends

Nestled upon
a delicate balance
of rose pedal
and a misty dew
a lady bug
travels
with precision
dancing without shoes...
Weightless
as air blowing
beneath it's wings
it enhances
the rose's beauty
accenting it
while in full bloom.

Love letters

The forgotten letters
of yesterday
where hearts were
kept opened
by written script
intended for the eyes
of their lovers

Where simple embrace
or spoken
I love yous
could not transpire
without fear of dire

The claim of Love
as true it be
hand written
on papers of finest weave

Softly scented
and kissed with love
these legacy letters
appear tied ribbon
for generations to come.

Weather Vane

You point
in all directions
usually referring
to one...
which way
the wind is blowing
determination
yet to come...
You stand up
tall
and weather
about in storm...
as simple as
a day has rain
you tell us where
to turn away.

Liars, Thieves and cons

Integrity...
where has it gone?
Has money clouded
your judgement
your willingness
to be fair?

Do the lies come
so easily...
that cutting your vein
shows nothing more
than others pain...

As long as you
don't have to put
a face with a name

That dollars now
are just a game
and people's falling victim
are just part of the system.

6 days and counting...

Across the desert's sand
unbearable the heat
at the sun's command

Delirious
as I stretch out my hand
tasting the water
nothing more than
salted sand

My feet are blistered
cracked
I cannot stand

Along comes a lizard
moving faster
than this man...

Survival of the fittest
insurmountable
for sure.

What matters most...

When nerves are nothing
more than crumbling
circuit wires
gone array

It's best to exhale
and start another day...

Realize your potential
and know it's going to stay
forget that your being tested
it's only a buck a day!

Evening's best

From moons in June
and fireflies
lighted nights
are compromised

Rippled waters
waving by
gently swaying
like lullabies

Shadows casting
from afar
interpretations
no limits bar

Summer liaisons
being upstaged
perfectly attended
united in all ways.

Commitment

With all that is small
acquaints a sense of awe...
No matter the nature
helpless with innocence
is created in us all...

With curious eyes
that beckon us by their side
searching for the warmth
cradled from the inside...

You are it's mother
by nurturing passage of rights
a gift that is shared
concentric plights...

Good Morning America!

First off!
I hope that all my readers have
a great 4Th of July...see some
fireworks, barbecue a little
if the weather permits it anyway...

As always, for my readers out there
that are alone this Holiday...
your not really...
I'll be thinking of you and wishing
you well. I know that doesn't mean much
to you when your "still" actually alone...
but like I always say,
there's always someone out there that you least
expect to care, that is thinking about you.
Isn't that what keeps us all going...

Besides, how can I not think about
you guys when you've been so great to me,
sticking it out through some rough spots
and returning again and again.
That's what friends are made of!

Will you love me?

I deliver this song
to you
in hopes that my dream
will come true,
for in the tune
the melody swoons
in lack of my proclaim

Inside my heart
I search for ways
to earn your love
won't you listen to me play?

The words are simple
but the truth
they portray
that I'll love you now
as long as my days...

In absence of thee

Sweetness being the
fragrant air
morning rises
with a kiss of a tear...

The sun that penetrates
my windows glare...
warms the floor
I stand on bare...

The birds are singing
I can hear them clear
echoing from ear to ear...

If only you were here.

Growing Pains

Kids can be cruel
when their playing around
teasing others
like it's something to be proud...

Lacking self esteem
there's plenty to go round
struggling for your place
to fit in
has you frowned...

As if it wasn't hard enough
along comes bullies
to take you down

Art of seduction

As seductive as
a glance can be
mesmerized as
the moment seems...
flustered concentration
beams...

Chemical balances
going upstream
imagining that moment
freed...

Anticipation preys
on me
as captivation
heats the seams

With just a glance
you've taken me.

Sunday blues...

Hello everyone!

How's every body's Sunday going?
Sun's out, sun's down...
what is going on!
It's like having one foot in the water
and one foot out at the same time.

Well, I just wanted to say hi
and get started working on my garden.
before the possible rain starts again.

I'll be back tomorrow.
Yeah...I know you'll miss me..
trust me, I'll miss you too..
when I'm digging up all those weeds
and planting flower pots.

Have a great night, sit back
kick up your feet, enjoy a show or two.
I'll see you Monday.

bessye

You made your bed

When hearts are entangled
in misguided slight
failing to see
what comes to light...

You speak
not of kindness
and slash with your words
till you cut so deeply
your now in your own world...

Loneliness abounds
so heavily
that blindness
cannot set you free...

Will you come around
in time to understand the plea
or chase me further away
from thee.
