if you see my poems
that define your name,
but I don’t read them to you—
I’m not being rude,
I’m not ignoring you,
I love you so much
that you can read
each poem
right from my eyes.
There exists an ocean

of words—

beautiful and meaningful.

Yet, sometimes

someone finds

just one word,

powerful enough

to turn a life

upside down.
Perfect morning scene
Full quality of light
Fruit tree flowers flush
So very pink against
A sky so very blue

Honey jasmine air
Star petals frosty white
Burning bottle brush
with scarlet flames not quenched
by glinting candy dew

Leaves drink up the sun
See all the clocks
In all the trees
Sense shifting balance favour
less the nighttme, more the day

Triumphant feeling flows
The equinox
In quiet passing
Led to colours loudly telling
that the light will have its way


Impossible despair
When nature shines like this
Warming every part
From gloomy winter shade
To hibernating cheer

A message penned in glow
Unable to resist
Thaws the chilly heart
Where sprouting joy is made
And bliss is running clear

Less the nighttime, more the day
The light will have its way

Now spring is here
Happy spring to those in the southern hemisphere!
Dying of boredom unchallenged
— the single worst kind of death

(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)
Warmth in gentle feathered nest
Enticement from thy avian breast
A nuance of a stirring soul,
Deep, from intuition's role.....
A pulse of life engaged within
From Equinoxial breath of wind,
Nuance of a stirring soul
Reminiscent of the surge of shoal
Awash, as gentle wavelet tide
On stone....now, deep within, abide.

In light of silver harvest moon
From far horizons distant tune
A zephyr rose, in infancy,
To soft caress of waveless sea.
Building in its pulse of life
To strength of equinoxial strife.
Amplified to have withstood
That scarred and windworn, ancient wood......
A signature of life's domain
Upon thy wicked gale's refrain.

Some of you enthusiastic souls actually beat the gun.....or perhaps, I let the cat out of the bag, prematurely?

Autumn leaves are falling
Cooling temps are near
Waves of autumn
Trees turning
Showing true colors
Each day
I’m turning a new leaf
Changes along the way
Autumn leaves are falling
Each leaf is a new day
Waves of autumn
Embrace in crisp air
Cooling temps are near
Waves of autumn
Poets come.

Poets go.

Poems remain—

left behind for someone

to read,

to admire,

and

to inspire

the next generation

to pick up the pen.
