Glimmering Glory
Glimmering Glory
Walking in late
afternoon shadows
I see the
Sun’s golden
rays shooting
arrows through
heavily laden
boughs
of lush green
foliage
Streaking
Laser beams
Piercing
the forest floor
Spanish moss
hanging in
dreadlocks
on ancient oaks
mysterious
and beckoning
The light
and dark
playing tricks
with the eyes
as I am lured
by the beauty
Exquisite
Stunning
in its
glimmering glory

Bjorn is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight
and has prompted us to write a list
to help with our poetry. I am always
inspired by nature and my list was created
by the things I find beautiful.

Calla Lily
Calla Lily
I am tall
and elegant
My beauty
is my simplicity
Slender body
with trumpet topper
Green and cream but
beware my toxicity
Standing straight
and upright
Expensive but
cherished
Clutched
to a brides bosom
wrapped in satin
until I have perished

Linda from Charmed Chaos is hosting
D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted
us with Flowers. She asked us to write a poem
as if we were the flower. I was inspired by the
beauty of Calla Lillies and their simplicity.

The silver moonlight
Shines brightly on your body
Highlighting beauty

Muse
Muse
Beauty surrounding me
Bringing peace and harmony
Mesmerized by the silence
I’m embraced by your charm
As if protected from harm
I float in your abeyance
Becoming your muse
Your palette of hues
Will paint my life story
With each brush stroke
Oh, the fantasies you invoke
Together we write the allegory
Our existence is enthralling
I feel my body trembling
Ignited with your desire
I can surmount the highest peak
Where the view resplendent
and live life as if on fire
The dramas of the day
Suddenly melt away
Comfort in your positive energy
Strength from your open arms
Soothing my never ending qualms
A perfect synergy
Without you I would be lost
Stay with me at all costs
We are bound together forever
Filling my soul with elation
You are my salvation
I will go with you wherever

A moonlit night sky
A sliver of crescent glass
Lighting your beauty

The earth hears your cry
Deep in its wondrous beauty
Reviving your heart
Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing
Reunion
Reunion
Like snowflakes falling
Silently in the night
I am unaware of the beauty
About to unfold in my sight
You stand in front of me
After a lifetime of years
Memories roaring back
Bringing with them tears
Separated as teenagers
Daddy with a shotgun
A baby on the way
Our parents come undone
You travel east
And I am sent west
Never meant to be
We were told it was for the best
You served our country
Our baby was adopted
Turning away from my family
It was never what I wanted
I left them all in the past
My spirit had been broken
Living a better life alone
Another word was never spoken
Here you are now
A ghost from before
A buried secret
We could never ignore
Your smile the same
It’s as if no time had passed
The lonely years forgotten
We are together at last

Sunlight through the trees
Your face glowing with its warmth
Reflecting earth’s beauty

Rendezvous
Rendezvous
Lightly falling rain
soaking her hair
Excited she moved quickly
Anticipating
Feeling the chill
of the night air
Branches hanging low
snagging her dress
Oblivious to the elements
Extremities turning numb
Her zealous thoughts
she could not repress
Sheltering under the trees
he saw her running
toward him
In all her beauty
even disheveled
she was stunning
Facing each other
he was reticent to speak
Holding back his words
reining in his actions
fearing the havoc
he might wreak
Looking into his eyes
she knew it was wrong
Her head lowered
in a shameful repose
She opened her eyes
but he had already gone
