Spring Cadence

Spring Cadence


The coyotes’ wail shall
never again paint
a yellow moon so full
or tint its deep
pearlescent sheen so blue


Natural ambient elements
serenade the moon and stars
A plethora of all heightened senses
savor every sparkle
in midnight’s near and far


There may never be
another magical moment
sung exactly like the untamed timbre
bemoaned through these trees


Celestial incandescence reflects
the sky’s mystical mosaic’s afterglow;
transcendent resonance ricochets
from the angelic lily white petals


The native dogwood’s flowers
draw down the night sky’s radiant montage
Scattering a natural luminescent palette
as they sparkle with the twinkle of the stars


The coyote’s medley of mournful laments
echoes the moment’s budding essence
adorning the blossoming dogwood's bouquet ;
it’s natural enchanting ambiance
graces the awakening spring ,
within in the moonlit woods…

Fantasy World of a Country Boy........ Snow Angels



~ Snow Angel ~



I live on the cusp of a fantasy world
Come! Be gentle, tenderly push me in...
Vivid memories etched in romantic traces
Ignite a ever smoldering glow from within


 Leaning out into the darkest frigid night,
Reaching out, needing, thirsting,
crawling and scratching for the touch
of your shine’s warming light

Daydreamers dream rainbow illusions of delight
Musician’s paint a symphony with an intoxicating brush
The rhapsody of a beautiful world where roses bloom,
on snowy wintery days adorned with angel dust

My heart is mesmerized by my lover’s trance
Passion stares through the cold 

into our naked souls blushing eyes

Frozen rose pedals fall thawing below us, 

as ardent pleasure surrenders with our moaning sighs

Our naked forms clinch the chill of supple flesh
Shivers embrace, goose bumps tremble heart’s throb
Sweat steams as our dark skins embrace,
Lust pounding snow into diamonds under glistening open arms

The Thrush cries out to lost lovers,
From ferns where he nestles in the warmth of its disguise
Bashful Coyote howls in day light,
Cries of passion is seen melting through nature’s eyes

Bitter sweet memory’s behold my snow angel’s beauty
Steam rises veiling our adoring wild eyed sighs
Our love has cast surrender's mold in snow
Love’s joyous secrets shared eternally,
Blissful snow angel’s promises kept untold

Drifting away into the silent reverie
I’ve fallen head first into the photos in my mind
Emotional lust…Erotic hunger... Starving… Yearning
Just a fading country boy’s dream … frozen chimera opined…
