Beauty of Chaos

November 12, 2016 by Dale

The beauty of a moment Hurled into the promise of tomorrow A pool of water thrust into the sun Its stillness shattered by desire For stars cast upon a bright blue sky. The chaos in a moment Random flights defy direction Caught only by gravity’s liquid tongue Form pipes of pure glass Crashing into yesterday….

Mother of Walls

October 31, 2016 by Dale 7 Comments

Transmogrify

A history book of graffiti You are a Mother of brick Divided you stand between Separating time from love Place from exodus Torn and crumbling Beauty and hate Your skin reveals Skeleton and heart.” For me, the wall says it all and well represents the theme of this week’s Photo Challenge, “Transmogrify.” But there are…

Lady of Gold

March 18, 2016 by Dale 1 Comment

Lady of Gold

Water gold and you one love precious and pure unfathomable …. You cleanse my spirit sifting through my shoals baptized by ripples of sea You pan my history releasing my secrets mining my life’s nuggets You forge in me a life smelted with a ray of blue an ingot borne of water. You hammer my…

Haiku Harmony

March 9, 2016 by Dale 4 Comments

Harmony

Mother teamed to Son Melted hearts born in hard snow Trained in harmony Black, tan and white fur Bounding for the trail ahead Played in harmony. Heart wrapped in wool Bright eyes sparkle flecks of ice Warmed in harmony. Lovers on a dog sled We are home wrapped in arms Pulled in harmony.” All text…

Art Made Real

February 15, 2016 by Dale 8 Comments

Art pulls at our lives … Your smile follows me wherever I’m pulled I’m held by your gaze. Standing on a bridge struggling with all my fears screams from the weight of years. Made of Titanic marble heroic stands against disbelief Goliath stoned by your devotion. You’re passion born of sea foam but a torso…

Danger

October 7, 2015 by Dale 2 Comments

Danger Boundary

I was tempted to leave this as a “wordless” post for Wednesday, but upon reflection I thought this little expose deserved a few words to provide context. The signs below make clear the danger … but it is another danger that I find more poignant and feel compelled to write about: that is the fact…

Standing on the Cliff

October 5, 2015 by Dale Leave a Comment

Standing on a Cliff a boundary against oblivion blue pulls me away from the gold of your heart. Standing on a Ledge time opens like earthquake a chasm to infinity seconds away from your heart. Standing on the Edge the earth disintegrates beneath me bedrock turns to sand clinging, falling away from your heart. In…

Destination Love

September 22, 2015 by Dale 5 Comments

We travel the boardwalk A seabreeze caught hand in hand Write our love in the sand With permanent chalk. We travel life’s bridge To the drum of our feet Our hearts resonate with each beat A future nears across the ridge. We travel the blue sky above Cut the clouds from the light Pack them…
