burning for action

winter's on it's way
not long to go
and
Jack Frost will be upon us

autumn or spring

Image by Betty Schnee

falling leaves or growing flowers
same time
other place
some place at the same time

you looked at me

Image by Lilly Flowers

rainy autumn
filled your eyes
perfect stranger
do not bedevil me

summertime

Image by Betty Schnee

summertime madness
summertime
summertime sadness

Happy Birthday !

Image by Lilly Flowers

sweet little child
unable to tell a lie
°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°
the world won't protect you
the world will infect you
°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°
a whiff and
you will fade away

Happy retirement!

hours do strike
for happy flowers

has every rose its thorn

Image by Lilly Blume

has every night its dawn
has every petal its blues

alien to the fir system

Image by Lilly Blume

by mutual agreement grown as unilateral imperfection

thoughts are alien

through the bathroom window

Image by Betty Schnee

there is light
fussing and fighting

play with colour

Image by Lilly Blume

part with colour
blind with colour

blackberry growing

not in the dead of night
instead
they search the light
while
hanging in the twilight

Friends?

cooperation, team play, communication or collaboration

more heads hang septic

who are we mistaken?

long time no see

is not here anymore

one and one and one

blue spring

feelings,
in the afternoons.

When shall we three meet again

Image by Betty Schnee

In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
When the hurlyburly's done,
When the battle's lost and wone.

When all's gone,
we tried to be.

At last ...

Image by Lilly Blume

...I'm gone,
if at all.

Like fine wine...

Image by Lilly Blume

... she's going straight to my head.

Your Flower of Red

something deep in my soul said 'cry, girl'

Image by Lilly Blume

I was just sitting here
thinking of your kiss and your warm embrace
when the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips
revealed the tears that was on my face

R.I.P. Etta James

I gave you my heart ...

Image by Betty Schnee

...but the very next day you gave it away.
Now I know what a fool I've been.
I'm hiding from you.
I keep my distance.

Your hand, your tongue:

Image by Betty Schnee

look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under't.

Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 5

then he kissed me *** then I kissed her *** then she kissed me

Image by Lilly Blume

the chrystals did it 1963, the beach boys in 1965 and kiss let them kiss in 1977

Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
