Sweet Dreams My Love
I know, I know, I know, that
By phone we just spoke, but
This could be my last croak
Please! I can’t walk
Nor talk alone [without you]
It's enough standing old and bare like a tree
Will you forever stand with me.
Oh my love,
String my arms with green leaves
Place silver rings the length of my limbs
Now I stand trembling… hold me dear
Our love shall
Everlastingly be:
True love, true love, and true love
Eternally!
Good night my love...
My poetic pillow for your head

Evening's Solitude
In evening's solitude, sipping a glass of wine-or
maybe two and listening to Roberta's love songs
and dizzly spirited away to that unnamed place...
Recalling your eyes once never weary of mine
yet now under heavy lids
is its love and passion waning?
Remembering still...
The baby breathing quietly and
Passion wide wake…these are
Times to keep.
Stars are a distance
Childhood screams and dreams are
behind as our last passionate kiss
My dear we're just tired.
Eternity lies ahead.
Our souls.
Our love…

Love's Life
The first time
We met
Strangers
no vetting
The second
Time we met.
We talked.
You left.
The third time we met.
Bygone meetings faded
Into blank space
now love lies between heaven
And the earth- beyond consciousness of
Rational thoughts, feelings, and perception:
The sun rises in your eyes.
you gave me the moon

Endless Love
Years of searching my memory for the beginning
Of a love that exist in neither time nor space, yet
Its endless wisdom and compassion still thrives.
Intertwining words of compassion and love, while
Snaking through time and space into a union that
interplayed and interacted with the force of ups and downs.
Though we're yoked together and conjoined to causes and effects
of our meeting and dismissing time and space. A fully awaken
heart brings all penned into full balanced and harmony.

My Universe...
I want:
To stroll in the valley for all it's worth
So to ascend the pinnacle of our love.
I enjoy:
Watching you mow the fuzz and spread white foam
and the scented aftershave on your face.
We delight
As we easy walk in the light of lightening bugs
Afore being disturbed by mating calls of katydids.
Then again lulled by the music of chickadees.
My Dearest!
You're the lyrics of my song that
resonates under the silver moon.
We'll cherish the rolling tides of love
And you the brightest star in heavens
and my rising sun 'til I go down…

Love In The Rearview Mirror of The Car
Sitting in the back seat, I could
See his eyes glancing from
Right to left, as we drove along-
Side the grassy hills and plains.
His dancing eyes held me
So close that, I felt like a
Trembling heart of a captive
Bird held under his command.
I thought I saw the moon rise
In his eyes and his pupils
Light up the dark highway
And endless heavens
I peered into his tender heart, saw
the essence of the purest love
permeating the space beyond
Times your eyes lay on mine,

Sakura Matsuri Cherry Blossoms in May
Sakura Matsuri Cherry Blossoms in May
Last night,
Listening to the raindrops
Pecking on the window pane,
alerting thought
celebrating spring
With lady goddess that makes
cherry trees bloom.
Night enters into day and
Immersed into the gay;
Garden exploes into patchs
Pink and white blossoms
sprinkling pink flakes for
adults and kids to take.
Cherry trees are expecting all…
Don’t you think so?

Goodnight And Goodmorning!
I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW!
We just spoke a while ago.
I can't tread alone.
I'm as bare as
an autum tree
Oh my love
keep me warm.
My love burns
Eternitly!
Good night my love...
Now, rest your weary head on my poetic pillow
Love
Almedia

Time Tells Time
My mirror tries to convince me that I’m old.
Yet I have a fresh face I’m told.
So these furrows in this body I behold, as
I recognize skin-deep beauty does not rebirth.
Still, I remember things way back yonder:
Sculptured summer grass,
Children ringing around roses
With Pockets filled with poses,
Barren tree leaves
Floating in the breeze...woman!
Waste no time on younger years
For the past archives them.
I’ll never be older than the goddess of art.
My lover, you'll never be older than thou art.
Let the earlier years delight in the older ones
For to understand the old-
The new must been known.

She Walked in Beauty...
From a distance:
East, South, West, and North
Surrounded and maintains balance
going forth.
Upon mother earth:
Supported and nourished everyone
and merits each one's respect
Under Sun god:
Your light shines and gives light,
Warms, and embraces lovingly
Surrounded by wind:
Sometime blows strong, sometimes
A gentle caress from your breeze
With water:
That sustains all life form
That all know not thirst
