The golden fire that dances feverishly upon thirst-full tongues
At first glance, a deceptive thrill –
The end presents a forceful shame,
For the torment that my lover brings
...

Darkness, darkness, of the Night

Together still, as always with fright!
...

Dearest Love -

Compelling thoughts of you being near
Creates for me an unfeigned consecration of earth and sky,
...

The Divine stirring amongst man so young and so strong,
Foolish and arrogant - deceptive his song,
Hardening his heart, and anguish too long,
Half century's nights deep suffrage and pain,
...

Written while reflecting upon the poem, “The Creed of my Heart, ” written by Edmond Gore Alexander Holmes, (1850-1906) and reminiscing upon the movie, 'Jeremiah Johnson.'
Her seeds of depth stare far and wide- mine heart breathes fire, thus, shoreline’s tide,
The morn of faith released by winds of four, carve paths of stone through snow-capped ice,
Thy Voice still known within me, speaks words of Wisdom, as thunder, yet thrice,
...

Do you see how lovely and diverse nature is? Nature, as the great beauty she is in this photo, of a beautiful Bougainvillea flowered, potted plant and the love affair between the blooms and the delightful dance of the butterfly, seem to live in perfect harmony and love for one another.
They are different in species, yes, but harmonize in nature to provide a loving, ever-lasting love affair to propagate nature’s continued beauty. They are inherently diverse in nature yet strive to work together to benefit all who enjoy.

This is a beautiful statement actually to “embrace a benevolent spirit and heart for diversity yet without the complexities of trying to divide and conquer as humankind sometimes tends to do.” Why must we do that?
...

Faith - beautiful matron of the wise soul,

Courage, Love Compassion,
...

Flora and fauna, the lovely queen –
Bougainvillea scent, Monarch’s dream,
Magenta leaves adorned by green –
Buds of white, center seen.
...

Your eyes my dear are smiling -

Yet from another glance,
...

Home's harvest vision of your morning smile -

Triumphs o'er my heart's desire,
...

...

To live once
a hardship,

To live twice
...

Harvest moon steals her silenced night,

Stars at midnight, dusk till dawn,
...

Love's essence on Nova Scotia’s gloomy coast of mossy granite, sudden gray squall, punished by a presumptuous wind coming about,
like aquatic gusts, rain pebbles fall from a thunder-squall’s lightening sky; a resounding bell, a gloaming earth nigh, like a monastic Bedouin poet of prophetic high,

written for the one my restless, sojourn heart aches for; a beauty as a silver ghost, unchained, though sobbing, as twilight nigh upon a desperate shore; thinking, feeling, of our last embrace near Halifax, only a schooner’s beat to windward away;
...

My tongue tastes ascending visions
of your flash of transcending love,
Carving a stone walk-way in the night
of your fiery love,
...

Early morning silent Zen of Chai
feeds upon the breasts of Fall,
Hazy clouds of vapor travels as calm of night,
Ever lasting obscurity flees from the silent winds of change,
...

Fledgling words break within the silence
of the desert winds
Anguished air, no beauty of the forrest.
Blood of ageless love - You!
...

Early dawn's embrace, reflects, in adoring wonder, as two Mourning Doves court in playful flight - in this ecstatic moment held high in Love, as dew descends from Autumn skies;

Did not the lunar eyes of an October's moon give rise to praise on this thirstful night?
...

Heaven’s muse induced upon my impressionistic soul led me through the woods flavored by the grace of birch trees and aspen, where a golden day-light’s embrace, hidden within an early morning place, inaugurated within the garden of my echoing soul, as the crisp coolness of a light nor-easterly breeze enlivens my waking spirit.

Dawn rises by a thinly veiled splendor of illuminating sunshine, over-lapping with narrow than wide reflections from Wisdom’s prismatic variegation of freshly laid morning dew; nurturing, upon a towering moorland of a cloud-capped savanna and verdant grasses that thoughtfully reach to tenderly kiss the heavens.
