reflecting
like little flames
in the shadow | img2poems |
gently from the sky
landing like a sacrament
level and divine | img2poems |
i never really look for anything
what god throws my way comes
i wake up in the morning and whichever way god turns my feet i go | img2poems |
shadow and pollen
atop mauve crocus petals
bespeak winter's end | img2poems |
every one is a moon
and has a dark side which
he never shows to anybody | img2poems |
its mouth is wide its neck is narra
it has such long and lofty legs
i'm glad it sits to lay its eggs | img2poems |
if this book of mine fails to take a straight course
it is because i am lost in a strange region
i have no map | img2poems |
light worships surface
gently unlocking colour
and stepping inside | img2poems |
night is falling
at dusk you must have good eyesight
to be able to tell the good lord from the devil | img2poems |
all manner of thing shall be well
when the tongues of flame are in-folded
into the crowned knot of fire | img2poems |
and that old lace i think falls down
less softly on priscella's gown
than when i wore it | img2poems |
lilacs out of the dead land mixing
memory and desire
stirring | img2poems |
for every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it
for every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it
for every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it | img2poems |
yet looks he like a king behold his eye
as bright as is the eagles lightens forth
controlling majesty | img2poems |
but soft
what light through yonder window breaks
it is the east and juliet is the sun | img2poems |
a living tree that i lied
a giving tree that you lied
shadows know everything | img2poems |
the sun
the hearth of affection and life
pours burning love on the delighted earth | img2poems |
tea does our fancy aid
repress those vapours which the head invade
and keeps that palace of the soul serene | img2poems |
perhaps of twig so fine
of twine e'en superfine
her pride aspires | img2poems |
evening is falling
soft sounds of lonely sea
and the dying of the sun | img2poems |
i would swim
to you to show to both my loves extreme
leander-like yea dive from brim to brim | img2poems |
leaves in the garden
your wet aesthetics give me inspiration
rain in the garden | img2poems |
and suddenly
the lungs full of tiny sharp aches
and the air fluttering helplessly | img2poems |
and this our life exempt from public haunt
finds tongues in trees books in the running brooks
sermons in stones and good in everything | img2poems |
rain in the morning
soft beginning of the day
inviting stillness | img2poems |
where once the waters of your face
spun to my screws
your dry ghost blows | img2poems |
don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
cover me in rag and bone sympathy
'cos i don't wanna get over you | img2poems |
such sheets of fire
such bursts of horrid thunder
such groans of roaring wind and rain | img2poems |
always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do
don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors
try to be better than yourself | img2poems |
the cattle are grazing
their heads never raising
there are forty feeding like one | img2poems |
the church says that the earth is flat
but i know that it is round
for i have seen the shadow on the moon and i have more faith in the shadow than in the church | img2poems |
in this world of change
nothing which comes stays
and nothing which goes is lost | img2poems |
music hath charms to soothe a savage breast
to soften rocks
or bend a knotted oak | img2poems |
an idea
like a ghost
must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself | img2poems |
light is a thing that cannot be reproduced
but must be represented by something else
by color | img2poems |
when i admire the wonder of a sunset
or the beauty of the moon
my soul expands in worship of the creator | img2poems |
drifting leaves
in the autumn air
farewell song | img2poems |
shed no tear
no shed no tear
the flow'r will bloom another year | img2poems |
the bell strikes one
we take no note of time
but from its loss | img2poems |
dying of the leaves
forest of changing colours
silence of the trees | img2poems |
is fairer far in may
although it fall and die that night
it was the plant of flower and light | img2poems |
if i could make days last forever
i'd save every day like a treasure and then
i would spend them with you | img2poems |
she reminded me that the world was really one bee yard and the same rules work fine in both places
don't be afraid
as no life loving bee wants to sting you don't swat don't ever think about swatting | img2poems |
you are responsible forever
for what you have tamed
you are responsible for your rose | img2poems |
the conch of my heart
repeats the jangle of foam
nudged apart silverly dims | img2poems |
hearts will never be practical
until they are made
unbreakable | img2poems |
the bicycle
the bicycle surely
should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets | img2poems |
my thought
the tree would never wither
was wrong | img2poems |
cape hatteras national seashore north carolina
a certain minor light may still
leap incandescent | img2poems |
bees are black
with gilt surcingles
buccaneers of buzz | img2poems |
i would rather sit on a pumpkin
and have it all to myself
than be crowded on a velvet cushion | img2poems |
a violinist had a violin a painter his palette
all i had was myself
i was the instrument that i must care for | img2poems |
like music in his heart
his constant waking dream
navigating air | img2poems |
yellow butterflies
look like flowers flying through
the warm summer air | img2poems |
there are so many lines killing tenderness
and so many dimmed lights
not whispering of love | img2poems |
shadow of the shadows
i live in the shadow of the shadows
i live and i dream in your shadows | img2poems |
the moon
will develop in the sky
like a pearl | img2poems |
an idea is a point of departure and no more
as soon as you elaborate it
it becomes transformed by thought | img2poems |
on a cold autumn day
my heart is drenched in wine
as i walk in fields of red | img2poems |
a miniature flipflop found on the side of the road
it would fit in the palm of my hand
some toddler out there is missing one shoe | img2poems |
to analyze the charms of flowers is like dissecting music
it is one of those things which it is far better to enjoy
than to attempt to fully understand | img2poems |
in the first of the moon
alls a scattering
a shining | img2poems |
the middle of nowhere
surrounded by the crowd of mr amp mrs nobody
getting ready for the bigtime holidays | img2poems |
footfalls echo in the memory
down the passage which we did not take
towards the door we never opened | img2poems |
oh god i hope it's something beautiful wonderful
i shelter from the storm inside of me
it's a peculiar warm | img2poems |
even as fog continues to lie in the valleys
so does ancient sin cling to the low places
the depressions in the world consciousness | img2poems |
although glad for the grain we are
aware of the husk
and winter closes on us like a shroud | img2poems |
every place every thing every house today is celebrating
today everything is bright cheerful a chimera
today is the feast of spring | img2poems |
fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever
and we'll meet now and then when we wish
in the midst of the one celebration that never can end | img2poems |
the sun shines not on us but in us
the rivers flow not past
but through us | img2poems |
falling leaves
hide the path
so quietly | img2poems |
out-stretched for flight
little wings are brushed
by a hazy summer sun | img2poems |
at sunset we sat
you and me quietly there
breathing in and out | img2poems |
i pray you'll be our eyes and watch us where we go
and help us to be wise in times when we don't know
let this be our prayer when we lose our way | img2poems |
to see the summer sky
is poetry though never in a book it lie
true poems flee | img2poems |
in nine lifetimes
you'll never know as much about your cat as
your cat knows about you | img2poems |
the vision must be followed by the venture
it is not enough to stare up the steps
we must step up the stairs | img2poems |
for all my life's sleeplesness has woven
this shelter in the grove where your hand lives and flies
watching over the night of the sleeping traveler | img2poems |
there is no end
there is no beginning
there is only the passion of life | img2poems |
we may run walk stumble drive or fly
but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey
or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way | img2poems |
light-enchanted sunflower thou
who gazest ever true and tender
on the sun's revolving splendour | img2poems |
today she learned that fairies are naughty
she used to wish to be a fairy in the woods
now she know that fairies are evil and she's one of them | img2poems |
unsought and unheard
music falling into feeling
like rain in wind | img2poems |
see no evil
hear no evil
speak no evil | img2poems |
what climbs the stair
nothing that common women ponder on
if you are worth my hope | img2poems |
when light appears upside down
and darkness obove
the master is dancing | img2poems |
enchained in dwindling light
thoughts like grapes in winter
sing summer's refrain | img2poems |
stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away
and yellow leaves of autumn which have no songs flutter and
fall there with a sigh | img2poems |
i think he'll be to rome
as is the osprey to the fish who takes it
by soverneignty of nature | img2poems |
paris' evening
a bird trapped
in its charms | img2poems |
a walking shadow a poor player
that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more | img2poems |
its mouth opens four times
as out-of-date as a prehistoric monster
yet somehow man-made | img2poems |
green is a solace
a promise of peace a fort
against the cold | img2poems |
nothing is wasted
nothing is in vain
the seas roll over but the rocks remain | img2poems |
trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky
we fell them down and turn them into paper
that we may record our emptiness | img2poems |
i look at you
and see myself
under the surface | img2poems |
may you have the gladness of christmas which is hope
the spirit of christmas which is peace
the heart of christmas which is love | img2poems |
it is late in an afternoon
more grey with snow to fall
than white with fallen snow | img2poems |
my bounty is as boundless as the sea
my love as deep the more i give thee
the more i have for both are infinite | img2poems |
on with the dance let joy be unconfined
no sleep till morn when youth and pleasure meet
to chase the glowing hours with flying feet | img2poems |
