SCHMETTERLING (Butterfly)

Here is the freedom of a full heart,

"Schmetterling" by Patsy  2015

why fly far when it's here at the start.
Flying far beyond one's own wise world,
looking for the most precious  pearl.

Drink the nectar of lilac, the divine,
bow to the Sun flower, as if at a shrine.

Patsy  2015

MOONLIGHT MASK

Moonlight Mask by Patsy  2015

Slipping behind the moon, leaving defined marks,
sliding away from the sun, moving into hushed dark.
Healing the scars of time, with light minded balm,
melting shadows away, leaving no trace of harm

Patsy  2015

LOOKING INTO IT

Stretch, dip and dive off, off the solid land,
scratch, scrape, straighten, reach where you can.
Immerse yourself in royal colours of the known,
that cover and glow only, on the royal throne.

"Looking Into It" by Patsy  2015

AZURE

"Azure" by Patsy  2015

Where is the blue, the colour of sky?
It's wherever we choose, you, and I.
No need to follow the well trodden path,
Simply mix all colours for a mucky mud bath.

Patsy  2015

BOARDERLINES

"Boarderlines" by Patsy

Cross boarders, break the bind,
cut the cord that was left behind.
Blend the blur of, jaded life,
draw
forth the brilliance of true light.

THE HANDLESS MAIDEN MYTH

Handless Maiden Myth by Patsy 2015

There was once a maiden, beautiful! so fair!
It was as if the God's had placed her there,

for all to admire, all to adore and love,
her praises to sing through out the universe,
like a perfumed prayer, to heaven above.

MINKA

Minka is miniscual and so very cute.

"Minka" by Patsy 2015

She does a belly dance and also plays the flute.

Flicking her scarves, quivering her shapely hips,
the scarves flare and curl, then crack like whips!

Patsy 2015

THE CALMING

Calming the storm, casting the nett,
resting within what one may get.
Sifting the jewels from where one cast,
discarding first, the historical mask.

Patsy  2015

'The Calming" by  Patsy

SILENCE

Wait in silence with your hope,

"Silence" by Patsy  2015

tip of tongue, taught on teeth.

Wait in silence for your loaf,
Starve as you watch a silent thief.

Patsy  2015

SILLY DUFFER

"Pumpkin Head" by Patsy 2015

I'm such a silly duffer, quite off my head!
Sometimes I even, look under, my bed!!

Spooky shadows lurk there, or so I've heard tell.
Somebody once said, they grab your foot, as well!!

Patsy 2015

POPPY PALS

Poppy Pals by  Patsy  2015

Push your pen across the page, or tap the keys,

of a computer, or just, whatever you please.

But do keep the door open, to your heart, your love,

it does brighten my world, so give yourself a shove!!

Patsy  2015

OFF LIMITS

"Of Limits" by  Patsy  2015

Tread the sharp nails of needed consolation,
walk the soul's way of much consternation,
pass your own, varied peace, along the way,
keep a coin for your tongue on the last day.

Patsy  2015

INTOXICATION

"Intoxication" by Patsy  2015

Dive deep, then rise, fly high wise ones say.
Greet the new morn of every blessed day,
with joy and gratitude, ever full of grace,
and get that look off your, unhappy face!

Patsy  2015

MISERY

Why is misery, so hurtful, or, even harsh?
Enough to force the breath, and, body apart.
Innocent and foolish child, quaint, naive?

"Misery" by Patsy  2015

Warped from the sins of original mother-Eve?

REVELATIONS

 Let's look at the shape, the form as well,

'Revelations" by Patsy  2015

the lights, dashes, scratches can really tell,

what's going on in the mind of its maker,

it will all reveal itself, sooner or later.

Patsy 2015

PEOPLE

"People" by Patsy  2015

Out into the cold land, out into the snow,
go anytime or anywhere, simply just go!

Snow flakes drift around me, chill my mouth,
while my heart beats the words, out! out! out!

Patsy  2015

BRICKS AND MORTAR

'Bricks And Mortar" by Patsy  2015 

What's a home, without it's fire and, its hearth?
A cold, an empty tomb, without a beating heart.
Cow shed or stable, would mean more to a child,
than eyeless walls, now blank, now blazing and wild.

But nature waits in hiding until the time is right,
and begins to creep across the darkness into bright,
colours of the grass, and of autumn leaves' warm hue,
melting into the darkness, warming the tomb, and me, too.

By Patsy  2015

SUBMERGED

Oblivion sinks into a swathe of tattered cloth,
 merges with another's deep immersed wrath.
Currents keep forging, the way of clouds, winds,
till the bowed head slips into a wasteland of sins.

"Submerged" by Patsy  2015

ECLIPSE

What can take one, away, out of hallways of black?
Towards light, out and away, from the hungry lack?
What can take one into cathedrals of pure colour?
filled with the infinite, given, by a loving mother.

By Patsy 2015

"Eclipse" by Patsy  2015

A SLASH

The blade of tongue, slices through,

"A Slash"  By Patsy  2015

the ground of silent sounds, wounds, all true.

So, startled, fear, the wild animal runs to hide,

mouth's silent awful scream, terror, open wide.

Patsy  2015

BLACK BLOSSOM

Black blossom on deepest bending bow,

Black Blossom by Tushie 2915

as low as the taken blow, can, or will allow.
Grey leaves that curl backwards and now wave,
on wisps of smoke from an empty, airless grave.

By Tushie  2015

SPINDLY SPIDER

Spindly Spider by Tushie  2015

Spindly woody spider, crawling up the wall,
stop look and listen, before you start to fall.
On your fine silk thread, clamber back home,
quickly snap your door shut, no more to roam,
around all the rafters, in corners, or others beds,
go now woody spider! be safe, in your rusty shed.

Tushe  2015

SLIDING ALONG

It's hard to share with grown ups, they make too much talk.

SLIDING ALONG  By Tushie  2015

Another thing that bothers me, is the way they always walk,
so very far above me, heads held high in the clouds,
In winter, their coats flap around, like scary black shrouds.

I wouldn't worry about it, not nearly as much as I do,
if someone would just be my friend, how about you?
I've got an imaginary friend, that only I can see,
he says he likes me a lot, because he's a lot like me!

Tushie 2015

THE MONSTER

"Where are you now?" the sly monster says,

By Tushie  2015

I'm coming right over to chop off your head!
I'll put it in my kit bag and take it far away,
and come back for the rest, another fine day!".

Tushie  2015

VEILED ROSE

Veiled Rose  by  Tushie 2015

Once more the hurting until four in the morning,
has awakened, the memories, and the warning,
that pain my silent companion, my elusive partner,
is forever in the wings, present, and forever after.
No matter the hindsight, the wisdom of it all,
the innocent, trusting child, eternally awaits the fall.

By Tushie  2015

BLACKWOOD

Blackwood By Patsy  2015

Blackwood is the midnight now, no moon too?
See how faint it is, as I look around with you?
There must be more to see, than now appears.
The light will surely shine, on all our fears.

Patsy 2015

BRISTLE BLOOMS

Stark sort of stuff, grown from slips?
Seems to need a bit, of a twirl or twist?

By Patsy  2015

Turn it towards the light, or into the shade?
Let it take its time, that's how beauty is made.

Patsy  2015

FLUTTERBYE

Flutterbye  by  Patsy  2015

As I look on, wait for the dark circles to spark,
a flutterbye hovers, and seems, about to laugh.
Why should that impression come upon me?
Perhaps each dark circle, is an angry bee?

Patsy  2015

SWAMI

Swami  by  Patsy  2015

Oh I'm so in love , I don't know what to do!
Tell me, dear Swami, do you love me too??
Does our closeness stir you, as it does me?
Oh lovely long neck, could we two ever be?

Patsy  2015

A TOUCH OF LIGHT

In the old lady's garden, blooms a secret sight,

A Touch of Light by Patsy  2015

it sleeps in the daytime, wakens at night.
Spindly spider comes to visit, talk and play.
She's most welcome at dark, but not in the day.

The old lady was young when Spindly first came,
they didn't know that danger and fun, aren't the same,
so together the two learned about give and take,
and also learned to meet, while others aren't awake.

By Patsy  2015

SLIPPERY SAM

Sam was a good guy, but he often did wrong.
He didn't mean any harm, he was simply a nong.
He gambled all his money, drank it all too,
his wife had, had enough and said "To hell with you!"

She packed Sam's bags, golf clubs and all,
and left them standing in the long dark hall.
When the unsuspecting man, came home that night,
he'd lost all his money, and was  clearly very tight.

He staggered and stumbled, over all his packed gear,
even though he was drunk, it was still vaguely clear,
his wife  had, had enough,  so he said "What the heck!
I'll stand on my own two feet" then he fell and broke his neck.

Patsy  2015

NEW THEADS WITH NEW TABS

I did it! I did it! used a new Tab!
I got it! I got it! touch, don't grab!
Before my eyes appeared, a new, thread,

Patsy   2015

I did it, I got it, now I'm off to bed!

Patsy  2015

THE WHOLE WAY

Harsh of word, lowly too,
what on earth's become of you?
Take the toll, and pay the fine,
tis truly a sure road, to the divine

By Patsy   2012?

MISREPRESENTATION

Struggle with ribbons, tangle with the bows,
looks real pretty, but, everyone knows,

By Patsy   2015

beneath finest of linens, softest of silks,
there's material made near to iron, known not to wilt.

Patsy   2015

CIRCLES AND CYCLES

Swirling stars and silvery lights,
dancing sparkling, dreamy nights,
driving through the pouring rain,
towards the storm and back again.

Patsy   2015

I AND ME

I, is no more than, well? a  jot of a word,
and, yet, without it, I can not be heard.
For me, that little jot, though so small,
has proved to be, the jolt of them all.

CRUMBS OF BREAD

I followed a trail of breadcrumbs, pick, pecked along the way.
Looked in all byway, for my love, sweet wisdom to say.
But no love did I find, not one sigh, nor a single word,
so I chose to go free flight, and became a beautiful bird.
