While Celebrating A Friend’s Birthday (poem)

0
by

 

so turns another night to morn

but what night!

i sit alone     

and yet my thoughts are drifting

far over mellow city lights

that lend their glow to silent vigil

with hidden stars and moon

sky shares my loneliness

from parting far too soon

it seems

though miles away you be

you’ll always be beside me

no other thoughts dare hover near

they know they merit no attention

not much ado they matter

but night!

time flies so quickly when you’re around

so slowly when you’re gone

if only time would share my plight

and linger longer when we’re together

not much is there that i can do

to hasten the minutes or still the seconds

what more is there to seek

but wait until

the days bring us yet closer?

Idyll in Lalaguna (poem)

my mind’s eye wanders

drifting aimlessly as night

grows deeper

floating on a breeze

cool, serene

i long for a warmth

i seek it as air lends

slight chill to mortal frame

hoping that the wind

blows strong, faithfully

lending its wings to love

that soft, my words whispered

may float on away

past emerald isle

over corals and blue sea

aloft on clouds of dreams

to gently burst over you

and deliver

those timeless words

of lovers true

that though they do not

reach par

with Shakespearian verse

of sweet words love-laden

we may share

betwixt us two

the ageless, endless

rosy hues

of love

though pummelled by storms

and tossed and thrown

remains unshaken

undaunted and firm

so thus do i dream

of flawless emotion

and thence shall i love

with endless devotion.

after a sleepless night (poem)

i’d watched the hours going by

as moon was waning in the sky

i’d counted minutes and as they died

i’ve longed for you here at my side.

 

long yet have i to wait for dawn

for birds to greet the morn with song

how longer yet have i to lie

and wait for you as seconds fly

 

the seconds take eternity

it seems, till once again by me

you’ll be, that we may share love’s sweetest songs

as we together greet a million dawns.

and wide awake i dream (poem)

why so

mind wanders

wee hours of morn

creep upon me

unsuspecting

i dream

wide awake

and take myself

to isolated

mountain lake

i drift

as a boat

from shore to shore

and find myself

on treetop

sharing harmonies

with stars

and awaken

in clouds

drifting once more

from star to star

am i

the moon

i see all things below me

i light earth

in soft haze

and find myself bathed

in cool light

on dewy grass

watching the moon

calling to the dawn

with soft song

i sing.

whispering night

cool breezes merge

into morning

i find myself

floating

in an endless sea

lulling me

with soft caresses

a warmth enveloping

lifting me

on crests of white

higher i float

i soar

so high i merge with sky

ocean and sky

and i

am left a star

peering down on

sleeping earth

quiet, calm

calmly i sail

with moon

with clouds

dare i reach

for other stars

what other star

that i may share

his warmth?

Rainy Days (poem)

cumulus clouds collect

covering sky and shading earth

i feel

their pressure building even within me

as they darken

menacingly threaten

and finally burst

a gentle shower that

coaxes tears to flow

in rivulets, then torrents

and finally subsiding

to faint sobs

— a distant rumbling in the sky

after a shower.

To The One I Love, a Sonnet

I learned how timeless time can be

When heartbeats are pulses of eternity

When sun and moon and stars revolve

About me, insignificant entity

In void alone a vesper shines

A single star becomes a galaxy

When alpha is omega and

When lines run through infinity

The path I run parallels the sun’s

Rays, we merge, an undefined unity

Defying relativity

Fixed points converging in serendipity.

To say I love you is pure subtlety

No words define love’s cosmos within me.

a lover’s treasure (poem)

i closed my eyes

my heart was ice

or so i thought

so never sought

to feed the fire

of love’s desire

but love was strong

it proved me wrong

and i now sit

calm at its feet

in love’s full measure

a lover’s treasure

(a love poem)

do i love thee well?

i know not my heart’s

mysterious ways

know i only that

it leaps quivering

with every thought of thee

unbounded joy fills me

and in thy presence

I know neither myself

nor do I know existence

lest existence be a loving heart

i know full well i am

thence i love thee well.

Shadows (poem)

long forms

short forms

hazy forms

incisive forms

grey forms

black forms

shadows form.

on walls

on ceilings

on floors

on grass

on meadows

on plains

on hills

stick fast.

running at will

jumping jacks

dancing with joy

walking fast

creeping silently

trailing like vines

climbing abandoned

still at last.
