Poem: Green and Red

She’s dressed up in green and red
Fitting the scene just right
With candy cane stockings
And a mistletoe hairpin
She could be naughty or nice

Poem: Shadows of Ancient Moonlight

the moon plays interesting tricks
casting shadows that are lighter
than their midday counterparts
cast by the heat of the sun burning
into harsh shapes clearly defined
versus the cool soft shadows
of high moon in the evening

Poem: Coupling with Shadows

There’s always a smile on her lips
She’s careful that it never slips
To reveal what’s behind the mask
With a laugh for anyone who asks
Who she is away from the crowd
It’s a question that is not allowed

Poem: Tribal Beat

In the garden of the world
There rises up a tribal beat
Coming from the dancing feet
Of those ancient bodies
Dancing and stomping in time

Poem: Dancing on the Wind

She beckons you come near Like a woman with no fear Throwing her arms open wide Twirling away under the fluttering Shadows and light she’s gathering In her dress as it’s flowing along Catching her movement in fabric The essence of motion she shows All the reasons the world loves her Dancing like a wind-up

Poem: Embers

The night bursts into a thousand embers
Each flying to heaven and then falling like stars
Filled with potential to ignite the world
We’re here dancing in the storm like demons
In the tempest of hell on edge of the true inferno

Poem: Misses Jones

In a oceanside cafe Maria sits alone
Bare foot tapping time to the band
Playing flamenco music on stage
All the boys are calling to her
To show some of that Spanish dancing

Poem: Pagans of Spring

Between dusk and dark
When the stars battle
With the sun for dominance
Shadowy figures dance
Over green gray grass
Their bare toes worshiping
The earth’s soft bounty
In the arrival of spring

Poem: Undefined

The sound of the evening
Of a beach with her standing there
Moon behind her hanging
Like a halo around her hair
Done like she always did it
In that favorite shirt of mine
Holding her in all the right places
