Endured

 

“Still here I carry my old delicious burdens”
Walt Whitman - Leaves of Grass

Deep within her anatomy
her past lives on
No heartbreak
 wasted
No joy
 dissipated
No illness completely 
healed
Unbidden they reveal
themselves
Events rise up as from
mist
Old feelings come alive
within shoulders, belly, or
spine,
Shaken awake
Enough for tears, smiles, or
fear
Over time incidents
mellow,
become part of her
being
“old delicious burdens”
Endured

Romantic Love

 

Romantic love

A memory

A refrain from the past

Blending bitter with sweet

magnolia blossoms and icicles 

ardent rhetoric and screams

soft sighs and magnificent lies

Should you go there again

remember the dream

forget the scheme

Homeland

 

Her homeland

A world within her

imagination

A place with amazing

aquamarine waters and

an azure sky

Viewed from her veranda,

fields alive with blue violet

fill her heart with renewed

faith and affection;

as she sits sipping her

corn silk tea and munching

on peach puff pastries

Indigo friends visit

in the afternoons

They come to awaken her

to new potentialities

that she cannot see

When they are gone she

sits and contemplates their wisdom

The night sky emblazoned 

with a zilllion stars

This, her world, filled with

colour, grace, and beneficence

Her imaginary homeland

by the sea

Ellecee

Note

An Indigo is a person who has come into 

this world to change, and spiritually awaken,

humanity

 The water drops from

the falling rain

form concentric circles

On the surface of the lake

The wind a gentle

whisper in my ear

Burnt sienna

my favourite colour for bush

is  hidden here among

the  spruce and pine

The indigo sky purports a 

storm

Computer Woes

 

Who here has computer woes?

Are these help guys, friend or foe?

All instructions seem so vague

Sorting out’s a bloody plague

Now you’ve got it, now you don’t

First it will, then it won’t

Am I blind and fail to see

The dot or dash in front of me?

Oh, now I see, I found the clue

That reveals what I’m to do

I sigh relief and want to smile

But that wont happen

For awhile

Dictum

Feeding hungry mouths

no easy task

These aggressive

babes in the woods

There is no

no

Demand is constant

I’m curious

Do they have any thoughts?

These mothers in the wild

Do they resent their

babes constant needs?

I think not

Given that,

a mother’s love

bears all

Magnolia

 Seashell blossoms 

on our magnolia tree

Sacrament of spring

with all her offerings

I refrain from

worrisome thoughts

as I breathe in the scents

It’s

an old cliche

that spring is for

 new beginnings

Nonetheless

it is

and ever

will be

His Eyes

A touch of green

sparkles within

her lover’s burly wood eyes 

He seems to decipher 

her every move and mood 

His voice quavers amidst

their ardent intimacies 

She remains pensive

in wonderment 

Thus far unsubdued

yet all in

Dissipate, golden road

Nostalgia

overcomes me

a longing

for my wilderness

home

I ruminate on

the trees

the lake

the moldering leaves

my dog

The scents and scenes

slipping away

as

I rush

to catch
