moved back and forth

she caressed the moment

soft smile 

emerged from under the clouds

he

wiped tears from the sky

Mercy Street

Peter Gabriel on the radio

Mercy Street haunts the flow of the day

dreaming always in color and signs

When You Looked Into My Eyes

Photo Blu Gengo

When you looked into my eyes

I saw a thousands butterflies 

Resting on a dragon

A dancer on the tip 

of a mountain

overlooking the sea

When you looked into my eyes

The world caught a glimpse 

Of sunshine through a cotton flower 

On a tumultuous day

Drift

Lie back on a 

Breezy bay

Away hidden

Drift and sway
A temporary goodbye
To small stones of July

Not Much

Not much of yesterday

Worked the way it should

Feeble branches 

Hold on in hope of something good

Family

Deer crosses the windy road

Fawns stay behind

Hearing voices

Not familiar 

Waiting for silence

Birthday Party

Friends around a table

French jazz surrounds

Birthday wishes float

Notes of truffles and wine

Rushing

In a rushing world

Decisions pop

Young man 

Takes a leap

Over dreams

First Day

The first day

Light streams through windows

Children laugh in the distance

Work flows like running water

Love

Love on a blanket of kisses

Lone doll sits on an empty bed

Time flies until your return

Journey

Journey through town

Man screams and jitters

Bike slips, tumble and fall

Gorgeous bayside refreshes weary feet

Four-Thirteen

Donkey and Goat

Swirling glasses

Four-Thirteen 

Sweetens lips

Picnic

Picnic among friends

Children scramble in reverie

Wineglass tips in the grass

Hammock & Hibiscus

hammock swings

wind rocks gently

hibiscus sits

pretty in pink

Poking Holes in the Sky

By Blu Gengo

poking holes

in the sky

a moment 

in between spaces

Moss

moss wraps around a bench

clinging to remnants 

of ketchup and other condiments

Tiny Dancer

Tiny dancer

reaches up for the bloom

only to find 

heaven beneath her feet

Glory

Women persevere

never ending light

fast ball breaks away

the last kick to glory

HP

moving paintings

deathly hallow

young girl weeps

clutching her owl

Stones in Pocket

Along the road

life all around

fumbling with small stones

resting in pocket

Sleep

By Blu Gengo

little girl sleeps

dreams in high frequency

mother's bed 

always has room

Under the Moon

By Blu Gengo

under the moon

stars wink back 

while weary eyes

gaze into space

Fog Horn

Photo by Blu Gengo

fog horn blows

wind throws mist

little daggers hit skin

summer sinks back

winter's revenge rules the day

Teardrop

a teardrop fell from the sky

with it 

came rainbows 

and imagery of you and I

Lullaby

you waved

from a distance

your hand fading with the light

like a lullaby floating off to sea

Alone

Shes leaves her seat

in a booth by the window

to make room for the family

She sits alone

at a table and listens to the music

Baseball on the Radio

baseball on the radio
lawn chairs on the pavement
antenna pointed toward the stars
top of the 9th, sweaty palms embrace

Buttercup

fixed on a buttercup

a shinny moment

firefly

zips across the lake

Your Eyes

your eyes

the way you stare 

at the stars

melts me

Weeds

Photo by Blu Gengo

the weeds 

beneath my feet

summer stillness

tickles and flows

Fireworks

fireworks splash

a cacophony

of color

dazzle, dazzle, dazzle

Boxes

The boxes

filled with our lives

now empty 

as we move on

At the Fair

By Blu Gengo

Cotton candy swirls

at the fair

Ferris wheel 

cools off heated bodies

Sunshine

sunshine through the back porch

light reflects off butterfly wings

wind plays with redwood branches

everyone is happy

The way the light hit your hair

The way the light

hit your strawberry hair

fingers through soft curls

love at fingertips

For Fiona & Kaspa

Beautiful union

Roses and wine

Together

You light up the sky

Vanish

French Fountain Drinks

clouds move in

slowly 

covering light

one way to vanish

Small Factions

Seabirds move 

between azure rays

hope floats 

to rescue none

C Moon

moon smiles 

in evening sky

the Cheshire Cat

is happy

Candy Stoppers

Candy stoppers

Frosted window screen

Wildcat rummage 

Tracks on the pavement

Snow

Snow

 at sea level

The good Mother

 tries something new

Love

and the love

rolls on 

for another day

like is always does

Sleep

in my sleep are dreams

you open up and

slip inside for a short while

it's nice to see you again

Cinnamon

Sometimes cinnamon leaves feelings of splendor

Shuffle like dancing brushes across imaginary fields of cotton flowers

Blow and make a wish

Sun

Sun

and the trail it leaves behind

Front lawn picnics

bring lovers 

out of hiding

Defiance

Tangled up in defiance

a river of small stones 

closes the day

Masterpiece

children paint

splash 

a masterpiece

in the making

Falling Behind

The effect of light

Moon wains

Falling behind has never been so easy

Dragon on My Table

dragon on my table

curls her tail

fire has subsided

Toes 2

Where toes tread
life unexpected 

unfolds
