wild grows
my perennial love
her precious winter bloom
Before You
the thing
to be loved is
what is
Inside
we gather
together in the warmth
of each other
In Love
red poppies
in dappled light
kisses from the garden
The Garden’s Valentine
each spot of red
a beloved’s kiss
such adoration bestowed
Dendrites
wisdom grown
of fear or love
the web becomes the path
Mum
the one
whose love
never tires
To Every Thing
rose on leaves
in the season
of love
Steadfast in Love
grandmother apple tree
reaches out to me
pressing love and sweetness
into my hands
Missive of Love
the red of the barn
ablaze in the February sun
landscape’s valentine
Eventually
what separates us
will shatter or melt
if we stay with love
Goddess’ Gift
ruby red traces
of Aphrodite’s shower of kisses
the world awakens to love
of Aphrodite’s shower of kisses
the world awakens to love
Home Made
humble abode
heartfelt mansion
love feathered nest
Risk
revealed and unshielded
even stone hearts risk shattering
such is the price of love
Devotion
to be waited for
and received in love
is the soul of homecoming
Here
know thyself
and love thyself
and everywhere is home
Look of Love
God’s eye
lights up
watching you
Robins
seduce me
with your song of spring
of love and life and hope you sing
Sweetheart
wind tossed curls and rosey hue
mysterious mistress
is in love with you
Hold Fast
our hearts recognize each other
let them touch and then hold fast
like birch in snow
never letting go
Harvest
one petal at a time
in the soft September sun
the bee labors in love
Lace Making
a needle prick
a spot of blood
King James’ wife’s
labor of love
Splendor
beauty
is divine
love
Love and Beauty
Venus courts the morning moon
wooing spring from winter
Tiny Snowy Pine
in winter’s white silence
it spoke of peace and love
Communication
rising to the surface
autumn’s message of love
Hoofprint Heart
With each step
a little love
was left behind.
Embrace
fingers of moss
entwine the old tree
a lover’s goodbye embrace.
Beloved
September’s astonishing blue sky is for you.
Delicate lichen blossoms on stone are for you.
All of nature’s beauty awaits you.
Labor of Love
There is a magic garden
where everyone is welcome
to come and take what they need
be it faith or flowers.
