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…

Dense

April 1, 2017 by Dale 5 Comments

Densely packed grapes

Love Written in the Sand

March 10, 2017 by Dale 4 Comments

Love wishes written in sand

Four billion years of stone broken into a whispering beach The sea a water clock A second the time to fall in love Forever is a moment played Feelings formed upon the shore Infinity counted in the grains Love exists without dimension We are written in the sand washed clean by eternity.

Light of My Ambience

January 15, 2017 by Dale 7 Comments

Candle Flame

Quiet darkness is replaced By the warmth of candlelight Casting singularity A couple merge in shadows Your love is a glowing flame I’m mesmerized in your dance. I stare into liquid eyes A moth captured in moonlight. I’m wedded to your ring of fire Every night wine and steak dinner. My life is warm candlelight…

El Camino de Santiago

Your love is the way a purpose made brilliant a pilgrim proven resilient. Your love is the way the missing part a rescue chart. Your love is the way an open hand a one life stand. Your love is the way a scallop art a fertile heart. Your love is the way a rising sun…

Salt of My Earth

November 15, 2016 by Dale 1 Comment

I lay my heart deep in the earth formed in the hot press of your arms your tears the rivers of veins. I gush with your sadness but I am given life by your joy tasting life’s passions in each season. Trodden underfoot, a desert dies, seeking an oasis in a mirage of plenty a…

Partners

Beetles Partners

Into you I fall Copper ingots melting into a pool of emerald With you I will fly Feathered fur tufted upon a tapestry of wind Upon you I rest Life mating with life, partners procreated of love.
