Nature’s Love

Poetry dedicated to Mother Nature…

Let Mother Nature

Surround you with beauty

As it sings the melodious

Romance of love

Another Tomorrow

(July 2, 2007)

Nothing but the blinding light

Of the moon’s mysterious glow

Surrounds me on this darkened empty night

Nothing but the deafening silence

Of Nature’s sleeping beauty

That protects me inside these walls

As I try to drift into fantasy

Where reality escapes me

And all is lost for the moment

Nothing but the yearning

To catch a glimpse

Of the sun’s radiant rays

The birds’ chirping melodies

All has died around me

And so have I for the time being

Till the moon releases its armor

And allows the sun to take its place

Till life is breathed once more

Into Mother Nature’s creations

And the awakening of another tomorrow

Embrace

(June 28, 2007)

The embrace of the moon, the sea, and the sun

Is so deathly cold, yet comforting

A welcoming embrace that surrounds us

With its mysterious darkened beauty

That sparkles to us in the night

And engraves a painted memory

An everlasting imprint of Mother Nature

Onto our dancing roller coaster hearts

Motionless Night

(2004)

The moon lights the ocean

In pools of white

The waves lack commotion

Everything bright

The air dances softly

The wind seized in flight

A painted picture

Of a motionless night

Boardwalk Stroll

(April 27, 2006)

I stroll behind the shadow

The radiance of the moon

The memories are flying

I find myself soaring

Through the tranquil sky

On this starry night

The waves are singing out to me

The tickling wind caressing me

And I am trapped in ecstasy

I’m swimming in the memories

Of hands intertwined

Of voices aligned

Of leisurely times

The Wonder Of The Moon

(May 11, 2006)

Radiant ball of silvery light

Hangs in the darkness of night

Amidst glowing white dots

Illuminating the sleeping waters

With stretching shadowy rays

Of life’s dreaming orbs

The Sweetest Of Roses

(August 7, 2007)

The sweetest of roses

In the garden of love

Is a sight to behold

With its everlasting presence

Its graceful beauty

And its luscious aroma

Wrapping you in its passionate embrace

Childhood Calling

(May 30, 2007)

She enters the woods

On this glorious day

Overjoyed is her mood

As she’s running away

In hopes to vanish

Amidst trees so dense

And explore the wonder

Of this great expanse

She yearns to release

Hidden child inside

That craves to escape

And embark on this ride

Of adventures and glories

Of careless fun

Letting go of the worries

To nowhere run

Explore new horizons

Uncover new treasures

And savor each moment

For lifetime of pleasures

Her childhood’s calling

With outstretched arms

She’s ready and willing

To take on the fun

Now lost in the woods

She has set herself free

A child once more

Overjoyed and carefree

Crying Out

(April 2006)

Crying out into nothingness

Hoping a soul would hear my happiness

But I’m surrounded only by green

And all of Mother Nature in between

Yet it’s enough for me to feel the love

Nothing’s more beautiful than God above

Awakening

(Spring 2006)

The clock buzzes in the silence of the still morning

The faint melodic chirp of the birds awakens

The lazy eyes peacefully dreaming

Early Morning

(2005)

Birds singing softly the melody of life

As ears are glued to the dancing notes

A lazy awakening of sleepy heads

Lost In The Moment

(Spring 2005)

Soft whisper in the wind

The day of hidden clouds

A moment of emptied thoughts

Just the weightless flow of tranquility

Time

(Spring 2004)

Not one rustling leaf,

Or children running like ants,

Time sat on a PAUSE.

No Breath Of Life

(Winter 2004)

Champagne bubbles sparkle in the sun

Inside a lonely crystal glass

No luscious lips brushing against the one

No slender fingers that caress

The fragile foot that’s standing tall

Against the sleeping trees

The playful shadow on the wall

That lazy eyes won’t miss

A hanging cigarette, its laughing smoke

Trapping the air in flight

But no one’s there to hear it talk

No breath of life in sight

Passing Of The Day

(Spring 2005)

The stillness of an arriving evening

With the departure of the tired sun

The whistling of leaves, their trees undressing

To go to sleep until the morning power’s on

The quiet wind that settles over yawning homes

And slips into the cracks of opened windows

The darkness that with impatience roams

Waiting to start its rerun of the evening shows

The lazy day now hides behind curtains

And waits till night goes down the road

Tis only then will the sun’s face be open

And all around us will brightly explode

Meltdown

(April 25, 2006)

I lay beneath the willow tree

The sunny rays above

My mind drifts to ecstasy

I’m trapped in nature’s love

The wind flows lightly under skin

My hair caught in flight

A total meltdown from within

A lazy carefree sight

Night Snow

(December 2005)

The sky is shedding tears of white

Upon the bare roads and trees

Weaving a carpet in the night

That’s slowly blowing in the breeze

The diamond flakes sparkle with light

Crafting a dazzling delight

Winter’s Night

(2004)

Drops of milk fall from the sky

Blanketing the streets with white.

With stomping feet the droplets fly

Around the sidewalk in the night.

The glistening lights ignite a spark,

All seen by eyes is glowing bright.

The dancing shadows stir the dark,

A winter’s night—what a delight.

The Snow Cycle

(Spring 2005)

Dropping like a feather from the
