Autumn Flowers

Flowers in any season will fill her heart,

with thoughts of you,

of being young again,

and the first time,

you came knocking at her door…..

Purple

I love when purple makes its final appearance

in the softer sun,

just before autumn flourishes

in the majesty

of golds and reds.

Do You Know?

My Love, do you know how beautiful you are?

Do you

really know?

Stunning,

doesn’t even begin

to describe you.

And I love those colors on you.

Note: This is based on a conversation the two of us had….this morning.

I’ll Be Resting in My Garden

I’ll be resting in my garden with my eyes only half closed

dreaming, aware of the earth’s spin

and of poems floating

through the clouds.

I’ve decided to take a summer break, which for me does not include hiding on Instagram and Twitter!

I will still be here, only less often. In addition to trips to the beach and the mountains I will be on photographic journeys.

Did you know that was my other hobby?

I’m also making time for something I’ve really wanted to do……and that is reading, as in reading books!

Reading outside is even more amazing. Now where did I put my sunglasses?

The Royalty of Purple

In the royalty of purple, in her presence really

old wounds are silenced

while memories

of scars fade away.

Healing through color

and light.

The Strength of Spirit

Some men know how to rebuke the thunder, pulling down the noise, even silencing the destruction of kings and sovereigns.

And yet they will hold you when you cry, write a poem when you’re blue, simply leaving a line or two. And some men too, know the power of flowers.

It is the strength of spirit, in a sensitive guy……

I Was Lifted Today

I was lifted today by the opening of the tulips to the sun,

and later the rain,

the beauty

in their vulnerability.
