La Guardians

April 26, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Sun dried peppers in Laguardia

Captain’s Log: Day 3 on Iberian Peninsula surveying Alavesa vista vital atop rocky hill La Guardians seem afraid of valley below — warding off invading warriors with strings of red phallic fruit theirs is bigger than theirs paprika dusted on the breeze hotter than sun-seared cobblestones warriors of the lowlands seem to have an antidote…

Our Garden

April 22, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Georgic Landscape

Give birth to new life among young grasses and wild daffodils spring on legs still wet Till hearts prepared to taste a rhapsody of rain drops dripped heirlooms sown deep Sweep beams with sunshine walk the earth caught on sweeping swallow wings grow germinate grow Angry arguments pull like peeling paint from iris petals done…

I Hear Your Call

April 21, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Blossoms

I hear your call — beneath pink blossoms I fell in love among your pollen listening to your voice singing You belong among the wildflowers you pressed into your longing face you closed your eyes inhaled the fragrance we shared — I whispered back behind a hidden tree I have seen no other Who compares…

I Stand

April 15, 2017 by Dale 2 Comments

Zubizuri Bridge in Bilbao Spain

I stand beneath the cables that fasten me to this dust moving in eddies spread my tired arms to touch willing my fingers, arches and whori, my white flecked nails to grasp the infinity of a memory of a moment when I wound the handle of tin box to a tune that played like baseball…

Rise Once Again

Iris Surprise

Birth bountiful beauty – rise once again lift death from desiccated innocence Purple pastel petals – rise once again peel perfect light, a luminescent life Poems in passion ink – rise once again love letters crumpled in a perfume box Wish I might, pray I will – rise once again release whispered blessings into blue…

Reflection pool at Real Alcazar

Colours pool in solitude – painted – brushes weather washes away – watery – reflections swallowing whole swatches – summer – swirls autumn awe solemn bare – cracking – crumbling diving down a mermaid den – sultan’s – glen rouge rapt on smitten cheeks – reeds – rise a peacock peeks – revenant – revivalent…

Maman

April 11, 2017 by Dale 1 Comment

Maman Spider

Captured in a nightmare’s night four by four, legs and arms, entwined preying on and praying for an end a cul-de-sac an empty sack steel away your marble eggs midnight bliss births a poison kiss.

Chiaroscuro

April 10, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Portrait of Jessica

My love is composed Upon a limestone canvas Worn white with history’s chisel Her mystery emerges Through a faithful portal past Shadowed oak lacquered black The solidity of her stance A palette knifed upon her dress Smoothed soft upon her breast Brush strokes feathered fine With an afternoon’s warm shine Breaching bright background walls Reaching…
