Columbine Time

Beside the mountain waterfall

My true heart love and I

Tasted mists so fresh and cool

Watching wind-tossed columbines

The hummingbird was made to dip

Whilst feeding at the sky bells

The wind sped him upon his way

To the next set of blue-white shells

I felt his lips upon my neck

Closing my eyes to the sun

Completely at peace in our little spot

My true love and I are one

Seduction Of the Bee

Poised, the iris wing

Open, catch the sunrise bug

On thy golden beard

Luridly sweet scent

Flying lovelorn, know not why

Here lies its desire

Velvet tongues of beard

Sensual pollens, heady

Immersed, crazy need

You

Beloved treasure

The pleasure of my life, you

Sweet companion'd share

Sorrows divided

Happiness multiplied well

Memory keeps love

My arm's magic ring

Inside, how deep you feel us

Abiding passion

Blue Clipper Butterfly

Snowball bush

Anniversary

How delicious you are to my eyes

You are all the spring sun and color

Brilliant soft clouds in robin's egg skies

Your sweet heart's made my life fuller

Twenty-five years of spring my love

And summer's dances like when we were wed

Fall's bounty, our children, so proud of

Winters cozy, curled up in bed

I can't really say what you mean to me

Language is wholly inadequate

But my heart swells with it, like full-moon seas

Every day of our lives, I'm glad of it

Blossoms cascade joy

Spring wells up, burgeoning love

My heart bursts birdsong

Everything

Tender, our mothers

Caring for us when we could not

Cherish while you can

Never so treasured

As when she brooded for you

Universe center

Why did she do it?

How did you get here alive?

What do you owe her?

The image fractures

What is reflection, or real?

Crystal lies for eyes

Owls's eye butterfly

Resting as dead leaves, with friend

Beautiful jungle
