Day Poems:
Bask in Your Light
beyond me
The Door
Dreaming
Hear My Heart
masks of water
Silver Breeze
two feet
Bask in Your Light
Golden hair, golden eyes
The happiest day of my life
The day you were born to me
The brightest flame I’ve ever seen
Your skin so soft; your breath so sweet
You place kisses onto my cheeks
Cuddle and sleep, hugging me tight
Dream with a smile through the night
Dark is not dark when you are here
Light is the brightest: I have no fear
I can’t wait for every day
Watching you as you play
We dance and sing, run free
Picking dandelions with glee
Blowing the seeds out into the air
While pink ribbons float from your hair
I realize someday you will grow
Yes, I’ll have to let you go
Until then, I bask in your light
Where all is good and right
beyond me
I want to believe
in anything beyond me
inviolate and strong
always right
never wrong
I want to trust
flowing with light, with love
find beauty in everything
the promise
of sunny spring
I want to hope
to dream of neverland
where I can be a child again
free, running through the sand
playing by the sea
I want to wish
to feel your soft kiss
to sit outside in the sun
never turning red
golden, beautiful, young
I want to live
I can live here with you
grow old
my friend, my soul
singing the days into the night
until we both turn in
then turn out the light
The Door
Push it open a crack
Gawk
Hold up a tiny hand
Dust and light gathers through
Sweeping out from the room
Heave hard against the sturdy frame
A wooden door
Neglected
Hinges squeak
A rusty scream
Scared, fall onto the floorboards
Listening for sounds within
Sounds without
Sounds up and down
Any notice or shout
Nothing
Silence
Grin, push the door a bit again
Dreaming
Love is a beautiful dream
A butterfly released to alight on gossamer wings
A warm blossom unfurling petals at night
Moist dewdrops;
Golden birds in flight
Love is a beautiful dream
A reverie of what life should be
Soft sunlight drenches a sandy shore
Lapping water;
A note clear and pure
Slumber my sweet, precious one
Believe in true peace when bitterness comes
Always know hope is there
The world fades away;
Without a thought or care
Here and now not where and when
Love the life you have been given
Love those who are your friends
Create and dream in fantasy’s realm
Where true genius within each of us dwells
Love is a beautiful dream
A sparkling champagne or pink lemonade
Light laughter escaping your lips
A red balloon;
Your first soft kiss
Love is a beautiful dream:
Join me there so we can both see
As we walk along that sandy shore in the moonrise
A lighthouse beacon;
Watching the world through your eyes
Hear My Heart
Hear my heart to sing to me
As stars sink slowly on the horizon
As the moon slowly drifts away
As the sun softly rises
See my eyes, look at me for once
Not thinking of you or your wants
Only to me, inside me, to see who I am
Touching my private thoughts
Believe in me and my dreams
Lift me up to the horizon
On a pedestal of gold blazing toward the sun
To envelop me in warmth
Tell me who you are now, my love
Let me know you as you have known me
Intimate, souls combining
Merging and yet unique
Hear our hearts singing together
As stars slowly rise in the night sky
As the moon emerges from shadow
Clear and bright shining over eternity
masks of water
silhouette in wire
bobbing on the surface top
a fish takes the bait
fun, fresh water splays
on concrete sidewalk chalk lines
garden hose playground
acrid odor dog
running in the street unleashed
as the rain pours down
sanitized, green pool
summer is finally here
a child pees in you
Silver Breeze
Take me down into the glow
Carry me away
Into places I haven’t known
Through memories
Through melodies
Dance with me upon this silver breeze
Touching you as you touch me
Our hands are joined
Together, we are synched and meshed
Molded visions
By precision
Confluent streams, no division
Wake with me upon the morn
Open your golden eyes
To see only my face at dawn
Trace my heart
Taste my skin
Kiss me once, twice as you breathe me in
I am here within the glow
Carried away
Into places I’ve never known
Warm memories
Soft melodies
As we dance upon this silver breeze
two feet
soot dirty foot
pounding down
down down
down onto concrete pavement
sidewalk marked
colorful chalked
hard ground
the other foot held high
jumping up
up up
up to the sky
azure-filled sun shine
with closed eyes
tight shut
hopscotch
