Look at that sun shining so bright,
I had such a good rest last night,
I do so much, just love this tree,
this is the best bed I’ve ever seen.
Old oak, old oak, my gentle friend,
I must go now and attend
to foraging treasures for my winter’s nest,
I’ll stage my very own, winter-fest.
Inviting friends to my lovely new tree,
we’ll dine on acorns, walnuts, chickpeas.
Perhaps we’ll have dried apples too,
there’s such a mighty harvest of foods.
Then we’ll bed down, in slumber deep,
in snugly warmth, this tree, we’ll keep.

love
Crimson lips, lovers awaken with a kiss
Creamy white skinned Goddesses resting
In a time where Socrates lusted after Sappho's
Poetry and art.
The Grecian people worshiped her with
her beauty and exquisite prose. On the wings
of her art she played enchanting music arranged
for immortality.
Golden chariots in fields of apples bold,
yet, solitary like one fallen from the tree,
Sappho wrote her memoirs and music
while exiled, her death unspoken.

Pleasures Of Tender Love
confection for the sweet
a taste of delight
if only I could show you
the pleasures of tender love
that shines like golden honey
caramel apples aureate
strewn across the heavens of
cotton candy on ole buttermilk sky
set it free from its trap in the terminal
enchantment blanket of pea soup fog
into the clean crystal clear wet river and quench the thirst
to the taste and pleasures of deep warm, tender love
like wealth of blushing candy apple red and rainbow colored flowers
seasons of warm and cold like silken sheets
as they drape and cling tightly to our embrace

Our naked feet feel the grass
and our naked legs feel the
flowers
and the pretty weeds
Our naked hands feel the pears
and the apples
the grapes
and the rain
Our naked faces kiss
and our naked bodies love
each other
until the naked moon meets
the flaming constellations

Soda pop and gum drops
A river full, so sweet
To be that child I once was
All that candy, I would eat
Not worry about a cavity,
the dentist or my skin
Just concerned with getting more
And filling it within
A jawbreaker, some nonpareils
Bazookas and candy dots
Sour apples and baby ruths
Oh I love it all a lot

i love you, love, romantic love, soulmate, summer, sweet,
You’re like
sweet apples
in the summertime
Like breezes
through grasses
you ease my mind
Come whisper softly
next to me
You’re everything
that I need
'Cause I need
sweet apples
and breezes
in the summertime
And I need
soft whispers
next to me
to ease my mind
Come dream
beside me
and be mine
You’ll be
all I need
all through time
Just whisper
that you’re mine

devotionday,
I walk outside on this cool October morning...
My mouth is open to swallow this cool air so alluring...
The taste of fall fills my insides for a hunger not revealing...
A warm stew on the stove, the aroma kisses my kitchen ceiling...
The day mapped out leading to cuddling on the sofa to view a movie...
Feeding my love warm apples as her eyes are a mirror to my fantasy....
With my head on her chest as her fingers run through my hair...
Our world is a painting framed in roses and hung with such care...
A day we live over and over again, and we know its written in the stars
to never ever end....

love, lust, universe,
Th’ night sky dyed a berryblue hue,
Beneath th olive river blackening,
Her breath rich with grape nectar,
Her hair a nebula of lime & pumpkin.
Orange peels by th curbside,
Yellow pulp by th curbside,
Old Greek sidewalk lemonade.
Rose apples sitting with th china pear,
Sweet lust littering her secret ivy thoroughfare;
Moonlight pink upon her blushing bosom,
Th Universe in trapped in her ocular dew,
Cosmic sailors lost in her white coconut ocean,
Pleas forgotten as she raptured through.
Lead her not to temptation,
For she has found it herself;
This is th Love Fruition.

autumn,
Carnelian and crimsons orchestrate eye music
Ornate as orange oboes that blare a fiery woo
Loud in the hills, flaring flutes of maroon thrill,
Oscillating in burgundy trills of a breezy banjo
Red rises in volumes that the silent trees hear,
For they farewell warmth, in sun-setting relief,
Undulating in vermillion wavelengths an adieu,
Lingering long in mellowing yellows, autumnal
Free leaves wind-whorl a gold saxophone-puff
As apples blush in whistles of a taupe wisteria
Looping branches bare-brown in tuned annual
Love-fest festooned in earthen melody eternal

faithfruit, strength,
My true love is like an apple tree planted in a forest of pine
Down next to a stream, where bees continously dine
In spring his white blossoms produce nectar
The aroma floats on the gentle breeze
He draws strength from living waters
And offers them to me
In summer he offers shade from the sun
With leaves of glossy green
Tiny apples begin to form
Drawing strength from the running stream
In fall he offers to one and all
The fruit upon his tree
A mixture of colors pleasing to the eye
For everyone to see
Drawing strength from the stream
His fruit fully matures
Everyone comes to feed upon the apples
That have with time truly endured

Oh! the wonderful time of Spring is here.
Can you smell the flowers in the air?
The leaves are green and flowers in bloom
yellows and gold and lavender too.
The birds sing a lullaby and whisper stories
of days gone by. Love and laughter is the best
medicine they say, so bring on the sunshine
and in our garden, lets play.
Harmony colored butterflies sway into the wind
they cast off and away through the days end.
Catch one dear Ma would say, it will bring luck
on a rainy day.
Apples and oranges round they go
handful of love and laughter will grow.
Spring is the time of all that's new,
come and see me and I'll share it
with you.

Here I go
into a world
Of pastel flowers
Pretty little bows
Petals off a rose
Perfume lingers
Here for hours
bouquets all in pose
beautiful moments
Seem like ours
Every room
Has a little bit of pink
Little bit of flowers
Smell of fresh apples
Springs morning dew
All wrapped up
Into the aroma
Of all my memories
Growing into a woman
Loving you

Nurses and Doctors; say, "Your too sick to go Home"
"An apartment with a desk; write a Homesick Poem"
" What do you possibly see in that mountain top cabin?"
I see the Earth in a different perspective than You
Landscapes of Beauty, spread wings of the Bald Eagle
Peaceful tranquility nature's creatures walk right up to You
The Firmament, so close, Heavens Flowers, You can smell
Reach up, caress a white silky cloud in a soporiferous spell
During hunting season I see an albino buck munching apples in my backyard
To be Cont.

~Delicious~
(Dorian Five And Fives Linked)
Apples delicious
Delicious great fruit
Fruit that taste so good
Good to eat all time
Time and time again
Can be red gold green
Green can be also sweet
Sweet or sour to eat
Eat them every day
Day or night are great.

kiss, magic, october, rain,
the scent of rain and leaves
the trees colors vibrant
orange red yellow greens swirled in mist of gold
the pumpkins and corn the Earth has fed us harvested
to follow a unknown path with a chill in the air
riding on a hayride by night bon fire light
sipping a spicy apple cider , a full October moons magical smile
only with your first young love embraced and warmed
as the air is touched with a cold cinnamon apples breath
stirs your senses and brings out the desire of a long held kiss

Apples like red hearts,
soak up sunshine to taste sweet...
their color's passion.
Lovers' hands will feel
tenderness beneath their skin...
the joy of dreamers.

puppy love is like carnival magic and amazing rides
ferris wheels and carousel horses on the merry-go-round
pushing, shoving, and holding hands stomach- twisting inside out
cotton candy, caramel apples, with music in the background
everlasting love
initials carved on a tree
lasting impression

Sarah's a good witch
Her basic color is white
Expression one of delight
You'll never hear Sarah scream
Everything's peaches and cream
She lives in a hut
A poor humble little hut
With dog Spot a mutt
Sarah likes to brew cider
With little ones beside her
They duck for apples
Splashing laughing dog Spot too
A HULLABALOO!
Then kids sit for pumpkin pie
Sister Mary standing by
The kids love Mary
Mary is a good witch too
Sweetness through and through
If you should be passing by
Note the figure in the sky
Crossing o'er the moon
Sarah needs some flying time
Streaking feeling fine
Mary holds the fort below
Come on in Enjoy the show!

What can we expect from a government denying God's plan
that which speaks in parseltongue the language of snakes
this which is a skill that converses through black magic
Pretending to care it focuses on taboo subject matter
how blind has become the darkness surrounding these souls
They start shedding when the light illuminates their heart's desire
working tirelessly bending the will of many to comply and submit
Let's thread the needle and pinpoint the words
fear where the fruits of this deception grows
without roots rotten apples trying to spread an agenda removing choice
there is only one Law I obey these days and it sure as hell is not man made

beautiful, beauty, i love you, image, romance, romantic,
I think these wounds are now too deep
I can feel them itching within my heart
The pain so unbearable
The dreams
The wishes
The lust
Are killing me
Each time I see you on that bore hole
pumping water from the rocks too deep
your soft skin unveiling
For me see
To crave
To die for
The way you move up and down
lures my soul to come close to stare
At the thigh curvature
The magma
Cozy eyes
flesh apples
And listen
to the soft
charming
voice
That makes
My heart
beat
skip
And Then
Death starts
When you
Smile at
me
and give
me
fragile
hand
for me
To
Feel
I am
Dieing
Softly

internet, life, social,
Couples desperate to gloss their matte lives
Hug each other in the hallway
For a picture baiting likes and comments
Before retiring to separate bedrooms for the night
Kids older than their years
Feed on the gruel of smart phones and tablets
Their cyber avatars cordoned off
Live parallel lives with integrity
Friends professing love and allegiance on Facebook
Sharing jokes and ‘Good Mornings’ daily in chat groups
Turn abruptly from ‘Milk’ to ‘Apples’
On chance sightings in grocery stores
