~Sun Dancing~
Bright yellow sparks glisten around the landscape
Sheer environment expose
Warmth slinks down every step
So-- Invigorating
Spur-like rays muster in long light
The wolves wait to howl
Soon--Bunch of flowers
Huddle in with sunlit love
Luminous rave

My Saddest Day(A Dog Gone Tableau)
I Had to leave him
(though he yapped and whined)
at the adoption drop off,
(I still loved him so)
with folks that I'd entrusted
(he was my dear friend)
with his safe keeping.
(He'd turned old and blind)
His mournful howl followed me
(when we let him go.)
as i exited the door
(How can my heart mend?)
My two poems for the Intermingle Contest of Craig Cornish:
My Saddest Day, written a while earlier than actually posted on 9/21/2014
& A Dog Gone Tableau, posted 10/17/2014 a few days after I wrote it.

Winds may howl,
Wild animals growl,
The forest grows cold,
For I am lonesome and old
As the sun peaks through the clouds,
I hear your soft, young voice so loud!
And though you speak dead man's lines,
You speak them with majesty divine
As I am wrapped in my woe,
I only want you to know...
...that roses die black and violets lose blue,
But I will never die
And you know I love you!

lost love,
love,
gently rustles silver leaves
gliding through open windows
a golden summers evening
love,
like a cardinal's rubied wing
warming the brutish bluish soul
of winter's icy cheek
love,
like a spray of ocean blossoms
bursting from a magicians sleeve
into caverns of lonely hearts
rooting oh so very deeply
love,
like a siren sweetly offering
a sextant for the wayward bow,
just before it strikes the reef
and leaves in a flaming howl
love.

love, lust, moon,
There are those who say the moon has no voice
That it hangs alone in icy silence
Mocked by the twinkling of jealous stars
A corpse illuminated by cold darkness
The Werewolves would argue in her defense
For without her they would know no passion
Feel not the surging power of the night
Wander through life’s fog strewn emptiness
No voice, does she not whisper to lovers
Ease the clumsy angst of untrained lips
Calm in silver light a fearful darkness
Allow a muffled passion’s gentle howl
Her voice the unheard song in shrouded mists
That nullifies the lies of midnight’s trysts

flower, howl, imagery, lost love, love, mirror, sad love,
Holding you inside one fragile beautiful flower blossoming dream
Sweet you are my love painting words breathtaking within all wishes
Silvery streak of moonlight shimmering a star
only now I read between the lines trailing thoughts
How can you ask someone to stop loving without care
an impossible task even for the hardest of hearts
If I were the last person on this planet sunshine through clouds
that's how it draws to me you're asking me not to love you
Misery likes company cuts deeper than a knife wounds beauty
never was the answer to love in our friendships face

desire, howl, winter,
Your poetry talks to me in the moody night
a voice of indigo telling me secrets of pain and love
while Luna licks my ear with impatience for my excitement,
I begin to walk faster, like a wolf on a scent, your red scent,
following shadows into sounds of howling winter
seeking just one more whisper from your passion
one more paw print in the hard snow of destiny,
will I ever find your lair of love in the cold night
I swear that I can see the copper glow of your eyes -

sad,
I wander about
like a fish out of water
in the surf blue sea
Me a traveler
in the congress of gray rocks
where carcajous howl
A vacant lot mind
wavered in the breeze empty
land soul never rests
Heart sighs seeks haven
warm breasts of the beloved
in my country home
I see the river
boatmen singing love ballad
flows out of water

Love On The Riverbed
He pitched a tent on her banks
Her teeth clenched as pegs dug deep
Campfire sparks, heat's erecting
The winds howling in lost flight

lost love, love
The wants of her heart beckoned of lonely streets
Longingly,
Like the summertime wail of the Snow Fence
When empty winds through weathered pickets
Howl for the cold company it keeps

It's Warm,
and it feels good and yellow.
It's Bright
and bounces off your eyeball like a trampoline.
It's Loud,
and makes people howl and bellow.
It's Brilliant,
and glistens with a golden sheen.
It's Precious,
and nothing you have can buy it.
Its Hidden,
And it's in everything you see.
Its Simple,
and anyone here can have it
Its eternal,
And is as mortal as you and me.
Find it,
It was yours all along.
Sing it,
You're the one writing the song.
Live it,
and you'll find that it's worth living for.
Love it,
And it will love you forevermore.

Jab Meri Bechaini Mit Jayegi
Jab Mere Dilko Sukoon Mil Jayega
Yeh Khaalipan Mit Jayega
Do Pal Ki Chandni Ke Liye
Aj Bhi Zinda Hoon Main
Meri Khaamoshi Ke Ageh Aasmaan Bhi Khatam Ho Jayega
Kehne Ke Liye Toh Roz Marta Hoon Main
Thoda Aur Marne Ke Liye
Yeh Deewana Kal Phir Ayega

DEVIL'S HIDDEN RANCH
Coyote howl, dogs growl
Gunshots, dead cow
Red barn left unlock
Horseshoe upon death's door
Tequila in a cup
Salt of cocaine, shadows of insanity
Guitar string, sad song
Bandit near the door, wife on the floor
Hallucinating---Reality
Yelling out her name, he's gone insane
Loaded gun, life is done
Far and near ending his intoxicating fear
The road under the sun
A coward in his path
Responding to the Devil's wrath
In a Hidden Ranch in Mexico!!!!!!

I raised an Australian dingo,
no name came to mind but Ringo;
he jumped on me,
ripped my clothes daily...
it costed me plenty of money!
Only once I left him alone;
good grief... my furniture was torn!
Oh, should I be mad...
or be kind instead?
I'll sleep over it for tonight!
All Ringo did was run, bark and howl,
mistaking a small cat for an owl;
They took him away
to the zoo today;
he'll whimper form his cage, not rest!
I'll take him back, lest he behaves;
his lesson he'll learn: good manners!
Now, Ringo just stares
to earn forgiveness...
it's fun to play with him and laugh!

She watched as the earth fell asleep
Waited for the yellow moon
soft kisses of unfaithful wind..
Images..Images on her head
Nostalgic memory of a forgotten love
Flashes of things she tried to forget..
Her eyes caught the reflection of the moon
locked inside the rain on her cheek..
She was standing alone..
Her grieving heart sought
solace from the moon
She petitioned the stars
Where is he this very night?
Cruel..oh so cruel..
Beneath the silence of the sky
she bowed her head and cried..

Who would have guessed/ the love carried for a beagle no less
Lily howling at the moon/ with ears long as her toes our ****
she gave birth to Bambi with no tail/ jack a be , 3 yrs later she is ours still
no describing the love for our girls / dressed in pink shirts and curly frills
the girls don't like when we leave home / they show us for leaving them alone
the pillows torn and howling non stop / we love our girly beagles until we drop

desire, freedom, grief, life, loneliness, longing, nostalgia,
Sharp fangs flashes as he growls
threatening to bring death
the eyes flames in fury
looking for an escape
He once ruled in his kingdom
the predator in a solitary wild
strength was his armor
never feeling sorry for his fights
One day a trap caught the king
in an iron throne, a crown he was given
yet he rejects the admires
for it is not what his heart desires
he longs of his life back
he was a beast, fierce and wild
freedom is his definition of love
one the master will never understand
The death that echoes in every flight
the chase that severs wretched life
the danger of the wild
now he cries his lonely howl in the night

Song of Your Soul
Sing a song of your soul,
Let it soar on the wings of your spirit
Live the tune of your love so loud
All the world will take notice and hear it.
The gift of your very presence;
Marks your place of worth as a person
Rejoice, and be forever grateful
The day of our journey on earth, to be certain.
Find your passions, and decide,
Who and what you want to become
Create your life and move on ahead
You're not defined by where you have begun.
The race for humankind is yours;
Not the boundaries of any one nation
Stand, and shine in the light of who you are
A beloved and glorious creation.

love,
I am animal
I am the wolf
your hunter and gatherer
I will hunt for you
lay my kill
at your feet
I will bite you
mark your neck
with my teeth
If the moon is full
I will howl for you
I become the wolf
for you this night
just to taste the blood
of your chocolate lips
In my wolf skin
I seek your summer brown body
I follow the trail
of your beating heart
The hunter becomes the hunted
You wrap your arms around me
Captured by your embrace
Time in relativity slows
all else fades into nothing...

lost love,
Silvery moon cast shadows
On winters fallen snow
Cracks of ice melt deep down
Echoes of the past resounding
Cold winds howl
As heaviness encases
One by one dreams fade away
Killing the fire that once burned inside
Snow sucks the warmth
Ice crystals refuse to melt
Coldness engulfed the heart
Look at what it has done to me
What it has done to you
We drift in frozen water
Drowning in our sorrows
Frozen crystals of time
surrounding our soul
Tearing our world apart
I float on endless streams
Clutching to stay afloat
Our love dangerous yet beautiful
Encased in blocks of ice.

There is going to be a jump,
the only one that could thump-
in this room of bloom...
What are you doing sitting when you could be a standing ox?
Are they out on patrol as you wann the metal into your soul?
Dive deeply hard Sims-
they made you corrupt,
these are dignities we divide,
they had no name before you arrived-
more cola now,
less socially sane,
yes please ignite the flame,
I said I loved you-
but in due course you became scarce,
the lizards re-arrived to show demise,
every ape was lionized,
I compounded the pedals lady,
they spun in pride,
I evoked medals baby,
I'm sorry they arrived.

desire, hilarious, howl, humor, women,
Are there any nice ladies out there
Who'll take on a nice guy like me
I'm fully trained good with children
And flea free.
Loves dining walks in the park
And although I can be a handful
I do not bark.
I have been vetted
And love being petted
Everyone says awe when I enter a room
And poo! when I make a mess
Well I'm just a man
I confess.
I'm so loving and affectionate
And in need of a loving home
I'm so faithful
And will never roam.
I need a woman.open to offers. must be nice and have a yacht.please send picture of yacht.

Star of a thousand dreams
your loyal servant kneels
Brightly warm shining jewels
Golden promises to protect
Holding love precious beauty
Light softly gleams a blessing
from your beautiful soul
Miracle of life burns
A candlelight flickers
With breathless fire
inside whispering winds howl
Each heartbeat skips
Opening chambers door
Blood of passion flows true
Flowering petals
Blossoming silk kiss
Uniting under one banner
Dancing to the tune of joy
happiness our universal goal
Eternal life embraces you
Sweet loving rose forever in paradise

'O to feel the night,
wrapped up in some little cove of the world,
some niche of damp love;
my creatures of the night howl to tunes
of the midnite minstrel ---
(path of the lone-walker)
and stare to dawn with a sorrowful melody
'Tis not bitter sometimes to hold a thing of damp love,
in the throes of days end,
forsaken,
in drunk mood....
staring your soul in the stars
My canvas is the celestial dome,
the harvest moon....
I am the painter of night who walks alone,
singing a sorrowful melody,
staring to dawn,
am I

Pure song of love - yours
In a melody
to faith and love
In man's one heart - a leader of divinely touch in love
Of heaven - a haven and bliss
Who saved his nation
Out of calamity of hate
And tyranny of race
Ruins and howl of dreary
To home of rainbow
In trance
Diversity in harmony
Of love the sun of morn
Honor in rise, honor and rise
The dawn stretched to hope
Mandela - an icon
In memory
His Images Still for hearts
For minds in doubts of dark
In Africa
for us - Mandela
Still - a dare star of hope
At horizons in haul of time
