Fluff

Shepherd wind herds
the cottonwood fluff
into tart air
of sultry traff,

foretells  the joy
of syrup we sip
to sum up good deeds,
vibrant health - to keep.

Millions of grains
circulate each spring,
“snow effect” pollen -
small and big bells ring…

Weightless feather
touches my palm
as if I’ve received
angel’s telegram…

‘safe and settled?
gently centered?-
celebrate:
you inner battle
done.’

Magnitude


A robin  on the roof-
click, click -
picking
the wee raindrop
in the beak,

slides and fling-
small birdy trick-
takes bath
and flee…

I drink
my tea-
pick up
a Big cup,
thinking
of earth,
absorbed
thunder storm
RAIN

We all –
how, no matter,
big or small,-
we share
ONE cup of water.

This inner talk runs
obertone walk,
aspen twigs
repeat,
wave
with soaked
in the rain
leaves –
in approval
quota.

...was there a boy?

You disappeared…
as if dragged off
by gigantic bird Roc
to amuse its nestlings,

as if your thoughts,
dreams , words
at one with Matrix
have been captured
 by a crane,
transferred
 to alternative world...

Bizarre voracious cloud
crept across  evening sky's
unprotected blueness...
I forgot to paint your smile...

Lullaby


Lullaby for Susie,
smooth candle light,
soothing bath hides
all wounds,
heart cries
and bounces-
waves
in move mode,
to fill the
 anguish,
rid of  havoc,
invites
dream’s power
to care, to inspire
sweet reverie -
allowed,
for insomnia-
time to bow out

Imprints

I open my mouth
to tell you the truth,
have not spoken since
times,
when we run through
the water and fire,–
ocean fossils
miserly message
from Paleozoic era -
we’re absorbing
as marine sponges,
guzzle emotions,
warp motions
and fear
into new shapes,
transparent layers.

We’re looking
in depth-
Neptune shakes
the ocean surface…
What magical secrets
repeated
after Plato’s  death?
Atlantis legend,
where spiritual people,
half god and half human,
in a highly advanced
utopia lived
on lush  islands.


Surrounded by
precious metals,
they become
"morally
bankrupt",
had lost their way,-
gods sent
earthquakes
with fire,
that caused
Atlantis to sink
into sea.

The border line thin:
where truth? allegory?-
we can be drawn
to cling
to the drifting remnants,
or allow
the cosmic stream
to genuinely move us
toward better places
to leave
precious imprints…

New moon

It’s summer.
Beginning of June,
but feels sooner
as May…
new moon
approaches
transparent brook,
highlighted
the shadows
brown, indurate;

pensively
traces you,
floating in different
spaces and views,
showered in color -
celestial rain
fairy tales;
caresses with
whimsical
angle...

this gaze...-
a mirror effect,
recognizing
familiar
character traits,
but where I  put
the ellipsis
and permit
to wait –
you start
new story,
your version
of life,
taste of
glory
and need
to survive.

Perhaps...


What?
You looked at me
so suspiciously,
as if I gave you
only half of
the promised
kingdom
from what
we had…
nothing left,-
just demolished
like a castle
out of sand,
although doors
were wide open,
invited 
to enter…
I still keep
the sea shells
with the scales-
haven't thrown
into fire,
not to mention
to wear it…
