doorway

somehow love gets past
the barricading doorways
like an SMS!
.........................
every doorway locked
the fragrance, a prisoner
elopes with the wind!
...........................
did slam the door shut
yet i fail to keep you out
dreams dictate the script!
........................
an easy way in
but once inside the puzzle
the way out is not!
......................
will such seeds to sprout
and send the blossoms anew
through the earth's doorways!

melody

a silent world
the deaf hear
a melody of love!
......................
a melodious night
this moonlit tree
a wind instrument!
.....................
serenades with love
caresses the keys
unlocks a melody!
.....................
sunrise and sunset
a symphony of birds
who wrote the melody!
.......................
who needs the meaning
even when you say nothing
your silence does sing!..

transience_

day an eternal thirst
night a sea of infinity
dissolve in timeless transience!
.................................
from many light years
of transfixed twinkling
breaks free a shooting star!
................................
the big bang
was an explosion
but life evolved!
................................
the stork is still
waiting for the fish
to become history!
................................
transient thoughts
stay paused
in love's eternal moment!
.....................
is
forever
changing

pet

the tongue lavishes love
a tail wags
who pets whom!
........................
sunbeam fingers
pet a.flower
the breeze is fragrant!
.........................
on the radio
my pet song
brings back childhood!
/[added after cmnt6]
.........................
inside the cage
a parrot says
i own the sky!
.........................
seen a dog
pet a cat
and a man surprised!

freedom

flying petals
freedom flutters and floats
butterflies blossom!
......................
the mind's not
a dark prison
but a free flowing sky!
.......................
sensitive eyes
captivate me
who wants freedom!
.......................
the statue of liberty
how it listens
to the poetry i read!
.......................

reflecting

the heart's dark moon
brightly reflects
your sunshine smiles!
.......................
her chest treasures
a love she hides
the eyes reflect honestly!
.......................
moonshine smile
reflected off dark goblets
that's the intoxicant!
........................
it's all hidden
i thought
till the mirror spoke!
........................
wasn't reflected
the image projected
the truth was!
(may28.08)
.........................
reflecting the past
the future just
becomes the present!
.......................
i'm dyin' to sink
in the unfathomable
reflections of your eyes!..

bleeding

no bleeding
the wounds, a gift
the hurt drips on
[may24.08]
.........................
the being a pen
the ink's sorrow
bleeding words a song
..........................
such white bridal robes
bleeding mad eyes
see a lady in red
..........................
the sea of dusk
a fiery red drop sinks
for whom the cosmos bleeds
..........................
the heart's white roses
i send as love
are bleeding red for you!
_/(message on a bouquet of red roses)/
.............................
parting a nightmare
yearning a dream
bleeding a reality..
[may22.08]
..............................
this quiet bleeding
from the pain of others
in your heart a Christ! /original/z.g.
