Emergence

July 20, 2016 by Dale 7 Comments

Wrapped in a dream of magenta Erupts a corona of gold A dart for a hummingbird heart Footstones for a honey stream of bees Pulled deep in a focal decent Drunk in the hibiscus’ emergence.

Botanical Fires

April 23, 2016 by Dale 13 Comments

Botanical fire Sparks seeking a season’s soul Red bleeds yellow bright. Flags fly upon a staff Unfurling flashes on blue Lipstick kisses caught. Brushstrokes paint my mind My heart is a canvas Tulips made for you. Turned furled and curled Every bloom has a finish Beauty born of an end. All text and photography ©…

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.

A Force of Nature

May 10, 2015 by Dale 2 Comments

I erupt with strength through hard ground Through sidewalks and walls I abound I dirty knees and nails that try to resist Innocent, I yellow cheeks with a lemon kiss Fill the sky with chutes of gossamer Spread my seeds and choke life everywhere But I am sunshine painted on petal’s hue Each one a…

A Study in Yellow ~ No.5: Butter

December 24, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Yellow Buttercup

“A Study in Yellow #5: Butter” This was a flower that filled my grandmother with love and no matter her age, she always beamed as bright as the flower itself when she spied the first ones of spring. And so I grew up with this flower as the symbol of new beginnings, of the rebirth…
