FIDELITY



Mother Earth has knitted strong knots in the faithful blue

forget me nots.

*

From your infinite eyes we drink Stars within skies of

blackest ink

Please don't eclipse us when you wink.. but hold us in

your eyes, Black Sphinx

*

He remembered that pricks of the branches of the mistletoe tree can

draw blood.

*

As fragile Queen Anne's Lace stretches in the sun among

rocks, she lived happily with her husband and his parents.

*

Redwoods: faithful silent sentries.. standing for millennia

not centuries

*

Oh womanizer or manizer most polygamous... try as you might

  you won't be milligamous

*

Serial womanizer Jack Frost had his face pressed to their windows.. asking them to come out and play.. before he disappeared again.

*

That God is Universal Love.. is it a license to

be promiscuous, polyamorous, polygamous, polyandrous?

NESTLED IN THE WEEDS



Sour young fruit

tied and treed

but now older

the fruit is freed

the seeds

in love

as nestled in the weeds

with Mother Earth

now we'd.



HIS LOVE



His love is the sound

of the ocean..

occasional gullshrieks

of excitement..

beneath them always

the faithful sound of

the waves



KARMIC TRAIL



He came into my life..

such a strong magnetism..

was it a black hole?

was it the attracting

mass of a comet tail

.. or was it love

eternal.. with its karmic trail



17 YEAR ENGAGEMENT



As baby elephants

are longest in outbreaking

Often the very best marriages

are longest in the making.



BRIDAL VEIL

TOSSED



She has tossed away

her bridal veil

.. lace of Milky Way

starjeweled with

comet trail

for the Moon

needs no array

of the sun's rays

when she is

One

with her husband

the Sun



(inspired by

poetry of Kabir)



MOON PENDANT



Sol The Cosmic Bubble Blower

blew..

and birthed a big balloon

.. a bubble ball moon

Of a sudden she floated up

and into the evening.

Above the flotsam

Now she floats

chainless pendant

On Night's throat resplendent

born of the light

of the Sun descendant

as he enkindled

her orb ascendant





BRIDAL TRAIN



The moon has wed

the sun, the Lord

of Light

.. but her bridal

train, the Milky Way,

is seen only

of the night.



LABOR OF LOVE



For a while she

was annoyed

that he enjoyed

while she

was employed..



until she got

a job she enJoyed.



I KNEEL



I kneel before the

heart of my Beloved..

within the shrine of

His soul..

It is never locked

to any being.



YEARLING



My love for you

a yearling became

many eons ago.



LIGHT IS THE LOVE OF STARS





Light is the love of stars.

Warmth the love of fire

Fragrance the love of flowers

Fruit the love of desire.



Music the love of reed

Water the love of sky

Breath the love of angels

These two: the love of Sai





to Ginger Wynn and her

partner



FOR QUEEN ALONE



Fear not as the bee

trips merrily

from bloom to bloom

.. as he faithfully

at dusk zooms home

to the hive

it is apparent

for the queen alone

does he strive



FRENCH CHERRY



The cherry tree

has donned a new chemise

.. jade hued..

studded cherise



FRANZ LIZST



Oh a womanizer

was Franz Lizst

.. who checked

women off his lists

.. yet was his

music

not linear

but spherical



LOVE POSSESSES NOT



Love possesses not

nor would Love

be possessed

but 2 rivers

together flow

and together

to the sea of

God they go



NEED



Need attracts

the mother

the brother

Needlessness

attracts

the lover



FIRST MOUNTAIN MARRIAGE



Clouds ring the mountain

peaks as

earth marries woven water

with air and fire as the

witnesses



SECOND MOUNTAIN MARRIAGE



A river flowing encounters

a mountain..

but in time

the squares become curves

.. and opposition

becomes encircling love

  





TALKING TO EACH OTHER



Talking was the way of Midge

to him to make a bridge

but silence was his way..

with words he quite abridged



She became more silent while

He made an effort more to speak

and they made new communion

while the sun slipped

neath the ridge



BEES CHASED BLOOM CHASTE



bees chased

bloom chaste

Though

they forced their

attention upon her

she is faithful to the sun



PRIEST TO CHALICE



He came to their

wedding night

and each night

thereafter

as a priest

to the chalice



OAK GIFT



Never freely will break

the centenarian

oak

the roots

with which he

to Mother Earth yokes

and annually

does her with

new robe cloak

after he did

his own branches cloak



(Meek women are less

likely to inherit the

earth alone if their husbands

avoid animal products)



BLACKBERRY TEACUP STEAM



rising between the two

their blackberry teacup steam..

but this smoke gets not in the eyes

yet intersects their eyes' laser beams

locked on each other weaving light strands





BEEMATED



Some dandelions

were beemated

.. some beyond caring

.. while others waited





SACRED



The marriage mattress is

a sacred place, not Grand

Central Station, not

a boxing ring, not a place

to hide forever from

the sun.







KOREAN SLEEVE



A sunrise of

Korean sleeve

parallel bars

each varied hue

Soon sun Himself

gilds

all the leaves

Each day

He arrives

on cue



We are grateful

that he has

not thrown off

his faithful yoke



(to Kim, H & C)

bubbling brook

did fall in love

the mermaid and

the traveling rook.

She was given a 2nd

merman body

between these 2,

they feel not excluded

but lit by the glow



AVOCADO



"To thine ownself be true"

avocado tree, and then thou

canst be false to no

pine.



MARRIAGE



Is joyful marriage

a July mirage?

and the loved one

a mirror onto which

one projects the best

of himself?

a mooring in the mere?

2 paths of love

made one?

It's up to each.



SLOW



She wouldn't kill animals

to get to the church on time

Angels caused her to arrive

before her wedding bell chimes



MIRROR



His heart sank when his beloved

said she wanted to show him

a picture of her husband to be..

until suddenly she held a mirror

up to his face.



EDDIES OF DIAMOND



Where two rivers

flowed into one.

there were diamonds

of light.

As Eddies

swirled in the sun



As where conflicts

between 2

were conquered

.. the cross

became the crown..

and the resoldered

metal was stronger

than the original.



The scar

became the star.

A declaration of Love

is a declaration of dependence..

it might hap

that harmed are both

making a greater glow

turning her attention elsewhere

the peace in which he writes

You are the reason he chose to stay

His source his goal and his way.



LONELY LOON



(to Helen)



The lonely loon sent out

a cry

throughout the entire evening sky

and though all ears

heard its pain

only one resounding call came



Only one bird

of the same frequency

.. the other half of his heart



PENELOPE



Penny is not one cent

but heralded Penelope

a timeless diamond

of forever fidelity.

They're closing in on 70

years of marriage.. long

he having retired a few minutes

earlier.. she will wash a few

more dishes.. put down her

towel and join him forever



(to E and N)

*

2 CLOUDS



Two clouds slowly kissed in the sky.

They'll make rain for all by and by.

Has a long sparkling wedding train

As spring can be seen

bubbling up under clear ice,

so his forgiving love pours out

behind his most detached eyes



CINDERELLA DANDELION



Cinderella dandelion stood

uninvited at the ball

amidst taller tulips...

at the stroke of midnight

her goldilocks turned white



Not the Prince but the

more mature King

came looking for her.

He found her not upon

the castle heights

but at the low power point

where 3 rivers come

together.



DREAM OF HOLLYWOOD ACTOR



A woman dreamt she was dating

an actor known for his compassion

for animals.



Despite the fact that she objectified

him by asking for his autograph

and criticized his invitation to

ride on his horse with him

he continued to give her unconditional

acceptance.



A child wanted to go with them..

and she wondered if he'd mind.



And she thought that only in the

world of Spirit can one be faithful

to everyone.



BLUE CAMELLIA



There was a male chameleon

who loved a female camellia

but he tired grew

To keep him she turned blue

The rainfall prince..

he left no prints

but tree of quince

has 5 new quints

a few evening's gone

and returns the prince



PRIEST AND PRIESTESS



Priest and priestess guardians

of each other's sacred flame

One dolphin buoying up

the other when he's maimed

Each in giving space does

the other's beauty frame.

From wedding of fire and

water

now the rainbows came.



Ohio and Missouri rivers

married to become

the Mississippi River..

they were destined to be One.



As balloons went up into sky

paradise in pair of eyes

their fires joined.. all saw the glow

as each to other.. self bestowed



From North and South

one Union

from bread and wine:

Communion

Two bodies: one heartlove shrine

to their eternal valentines
