Love won't fade in a violet haze as lights go out
Our Burning Love
got mired in life's mud
a tide flows out on health
and struggling to breathe
you face this battle alone
Yet from shore's safety
all I can do is send you my best
and squint to see
whether you survive

Life
is like an #anecdote
sans the amusing part
instead there is suffering
physical pain at a distance
You hurt in silence
for that is your way
and mine, well mine
is to grow silent too
let's commiserate without words
Love burns
brightest in the dark

"Nothing New" a poem by Robert Frost, at age 46 reflects upon memories winter and aging. It seems perfect to share with you all on the hot summer days we are sweltering through now
My favorite lines:
"Nothing new--
Though I am further upon my way"

#Patriot is what winners call themselves
rebel, insurgent, guerilla, anarchist, traitor
words fed us by power. by the ruling class
by the not so free press
Every generation
has a new Bunker Hill, new Hanoi, new Iran
set labels aside, see what is happening
self determine what YOU believe

At day’s end, the lifeguards take the swim flags down. It’s as much a summer ritual as the sunset itself. Today I caught this lens flare and it just works out.
Enjoy…

Under #starscapes above
sameness slips from his
shoulders, like an ill fitting
cloak to the cold sand
the well trod path ahead
no longer his
One thing enables
a fresh drink from nascent
love’s sweet elixir
Each breaking wave
shouts the answer
Change

On a Nashville trail today - and came across this beautiful southern flower.
Magnolia trees are in full bloom, and I just had to share its quiet beauty

Love how #ArthurSze sets up the premise:
our emotions resemble leaves and alive
to their shapes we are nourished.
From there, Sze takes us on an extended metaphorical journey for the rest of the page. Brilliant concept, brilliant #poetry writing...

Foundation laid
not in hexagonally perfect rows
but built on the premise of trust
no longing for a youth or health
that cannot be renewed
Take the pain
bear the indignity of age
feel love's warm hand
pressed into yours and know
your newly confessed love
Is Fire

Remembering the visual lavender fields outside of Marseilles, France, the smell of the flowers and the crunchy dryness of the hard ground.

Some need reasons to live
some find the reason
some are the reason
The French call
this feeling a Raison d'être
while romantics like us
Simply call it love
