Daffodils in Cleveland

First daffodils of spring

blow and bend

                        east and north

with crisp winter winds

            bracing yellow petal hands

against chilled sunshine

faces smiling 

                                                        D

                                            R

                                 A

                      W

           P

U

 

Always upward towards a warming sun

that sneaks bravely

            through clouds

that just this morning

            dusted meadows

with white [...]

Little sister dear, little sister

Women of honor, of grace

Of beautiful eyes and wondrous hearts

Denim Blue Days

Denim blues on fences painted

Jackalope Fences ©1996 by Joshua Liberman

Ready for a party

    of skulls & wooden angels

Hung on nails, left to wither…

Adorn the roadside

where we stop to buy chilies and beer

Just past the right turn of the Rio Grande.

Purple blue mountain ranges

              divide horizons

Pointing North [...]

Dichotomy

I cried for you last night

I cried for me

For the little girl I saw in you

Who was me

And all the little girls

That have come and gone

The little ones who will be

Tears for those who didn’t receive

What they needed or wanted

When they needed her

Or wanted her

85718

there is this place                 

85718

i go

where no one follows

not even you

a treasure

that i keep for only me

this place is mine

that part of me i keep

for talks with God

and souls

there is this place

i go

you can see it in my eyes

far away

as [...]

Enveloped

feelings envelop me

in multiple shades of gray

all tangled with pleasure and pain

can’t seem to detach

your thoughts

your feelings from my own

our souls entangled

your dreams with mine

entwined imperceptibly

like bodies that have lain together

so many nights

they’ve memorized each other’s

curves and edges

as if by heart

never [...]

For I Can Fly

There are those Who cannot see above the clouds. Or dream beyond The rainbows of the stars. People blind to colors Such as midnight raven blue Or ocean thunder black Yellow orange mango sunset hues, or Purple heather painted vines And velvet lavender lilac blues Nestled in the mountain’s lakes. There are those for whom [...]

Gift From a Friend

I got polka-dotted today, at the park

Under the clouds

Next to the ducks eating bread

Next to the pale lavender brown egret

                 that came for a visit.

I’ve never been polka-dotted

Before this morning

Before Rachael showed me how.

What wonder what delight

                       these 26 letters bring me;

               how they tumbleweed

                             through [...]

He Sings

He sings…

In the middle of the morning

For no apparent reason

I can fathom

He must be happy

So it would seem

To those of us who hide in cubicles

Completing  joyless tasks

Bitching and moaning

About nothing or less.

What wonder…

Je Suis Monet

I paint in hues of wedgwood dust

On a canvas of sandy beaches

Freshly packed by gentle waves

Under sunlit skies of gold and tangerine.

 

I paint in shades of ochre dim

Of turned earth, wet with polka-dotted rain [...]

Joy Rising

She made sponge cake

Dough rising

Like joy in the afternoon

With smells of flour, eggs, sugar

Lemons, oranges

Apple cake always with cinnamon

Honey, raisins, nuts, and vanilla.

And luscious potato kugel

With onions chopped so fine they were invisible.

There was always food for strangers or dogs

I would bring home.

Travels of a [...]
