An ocean full of stars








An ocean full of stars


 There is a sky full of oceans
garnered somewhere
between the stars


 An ocean full of stars
between every mirrored
moonlit wave


 The moment that carries you forward
is also the very moment
of never being able to go back again


 Caught in the incoming tides blossom
when the moment of love rushes in...

A Musical Surrender

A Musical Surrender


Music sweet as love overflows
From my love-laden secret hours .
Music sooth her heart of soul
Impassioned resonance whispers from my heart ,
Beside the gentle, graceful , stream's ripple .
Does the melody arouse some muted desire ?
Flowing peacefully with the river’s song ?


Avow the dazzling starlit sky
Enrapture the sweetest song escaping into nature’s ear .
Above , the moon rains her enchanting beams down
Like flowing notes of effervescent radiance ;
Harmonious , delightful sounds ,
As sad and deep as lamented love's buried treasures .


Surrender to love’s song as the tides of love flood
The barren tide pools of lonely hearts ;
Whatever past tides ebbed away from the love of life ?
Concede the flooding currents fill the heart
So full of love ... the most melodious of all the harmonies ,
That one last drop, one last tear
Of joyful surrender ,  a waterfall .


Let love’s blossoms swell
Into rain awakened flowers .
The genesis of splendor awaits ,
The love song’s intimate accompaniment ,
Yielding an inspiring dream’s transcendence .
Enable the sound of music touch our moonlit slumber
As we embrace in the gentle stillness
Of our merciful surrender…

The Honey Bee & The Last Winter Rose




                    honey bee … sweet honeyed bee


           humming and bumbling
    titillatingly buzzing , drunken stumbling ,
wallowing insatiably in blossom's touch


intoxicated within velvety enchantment
impaired by sticky silken pearlessence
the sweet elixir of luscious petals waft


tantalizing little smitten honey bee kisses
brushed of intensely hued honeyed nectar
weighted by pollination's residues


woozy... grounded in an enraptured daze
ne’er desire to fly away again
drawn into mesmerizing hibernation

surrendering , heretofore only a simple wish
... to be held eternally
... lifted by the wings of love


petals enshroud forever wishes
total unconditional embrace imbibes delight
unabridged repose of slumber awaits


enslaved by one love's petaled cocoon
the sweetest rhapsody manifests
honey bee nuzzles the last winter rose ...


~ honeyed blissfulness forevermore ~

  If only I were a little honey bee 


        ... and , you the blossoming rose


               ... oh how sweet I'd be for to hold


                         ... enslaved by your hallowed petals' kiss

Unfolding Love's Resplendent Notes

Love evolves as if it were the morphosis
of fine music ; never asking it to go anywhere
                                or be anything , yet
                                  flow avowedly free

Allowing its melodious essence
to seek its own natural level
Free to expand in so many realms
                                beyond the bounds
                                of notes and words


It is within the stillness
of the conscious moment
the recognizable euphonic manifestation
                                          is revealed

unfolding love's aurora

                   of beautiful resplendent notes ...

Oasis


Our precious moments together are an oasis
A place where new beginnings evolve into vivid life...

...a poem by Harlon Rivers




Oasis

Our moments together are an oasis
Respite from this journey’s rocky mile
Alone together in a deserted desert island’s secret garden
Where adoring affections
paint the depth of a picturesque
beheld warmth of sweetest tenderness

Hearts and minds impassioned harmony’s opus
Surrendering to love’s enchanting flows
Enlightened by conscious oneness
Yielding to the repose of a silent starlit bay’s twilight halo
Swirling Moon beams dance around like the falling stars ballet
As effervescent currents eddiy in a radiant sky’s afterglow

The blending of connected souls
kindle love’s shimmering light
Love’s tower of strength is euphoric refuge
Shelter from life’s perfect storms
Intimacy surrendered slowly is a soothing sanctuary
Unchained healing in two minds

Happenstance is not an illusion
Turning dark memories’ shadows into light
Illuminating compassionate understanding
Solitude’s allure can leave stars in one’s eyes
Our precious moments together are an oasis
A place were new beginnings evolve into vivid life...

Waxing Crescent Moon


Waxing Crescent Moon


There was a pause in the late night.
Coyote beckoned the moon's faint whispering beams
lamenting her light’s shine full and bright


Now waxing crescent afresh
winks with each passing cloud ,
as if to promise lightly
the shine of a new awaited dawn .


Rooster’s foreboding crow
echoes from the rolling vista ,
ricochets heard the awakening report ,
held breath does not stop a pounding heart


I watched the spider’s
tight wire walk a mile ,
cherry wood poster spanning cherry wood poster,
knowing it is possible to cross
an unknown distance between .


Silk thread drifts aneath the ceiling fan waft ...
floating, falling, tickling forgotten desires
feeling the whispers murmured ;
breathe out heavily
first touch sigh,


... dreaming of sleeping amidst
her fragrant petals
embracing a blossoming rose …

Wild Flower Poesy

. . . a look into the realities of the inspirations of nature...there is such a place and it is happening right now !  Dreams are so much more than imagination coming to life ~

. . . a poem by Harlon Rivers © 2013
Wild Flower Poesy

The soothing warmth of the spring day
made the carpet of green grasses’ cool touch,
titillate impassioned moist flesh.
The afternoon sun filtered through the maple grove;
enchanting the beauty where the branches throw
their favorite shades into the shadows upon the earth’s bouquet.

A poesy of wild flowers paint
a peaceful watercolor palette;  
their tantalizing pastel ecstasy, infused a serene stillness.
Only the Sparrow’s yearning serenade, harmonized with the
blissful rapture of the moment’s whispered song.

The fragile Tiger Lilies hidden elegance
draws my breath of heart level
with the Wild Strawberry blossoms  coverlet.        
The ornately elegant Wild Irises, ballet above the delicate
dainty Violet Violas adorning the smiling grace
of a quintet of angels.

A poignant fragrance floated through the atmosphere
with an aura of rhapsody
permeating from the double periwinkle Lilac’s mystical elixir.
Intoxicating a woozy presence, chimera stealing away
into a moonstruck daydream, exhaling an inebriated sigh.

The air swirled, sending an inflamed ticklish chill over my body. 
In a gentle puff of the aromatic breeze, flora released her essence; 
I was awakened, as the dusting pollen left slightly scented traces
upon the aroused skin of a swollen appetite.
Knowing in this moment, in the euphoric shade of the shadows,

It's nature's way of telling me...were are one...

Distant Whispers Spark a Burning Light


Distant Whispers Spark a Burning Light

listening for whispered light;
hearing the wind's song
sing through the tall grass,
breathing cadence sways

moon flower's essence shines,
illumined spirit beckons,
across terrestrial fields
in the space between distant shorelines

the long and winding surrender,
moon up to sundown;
love ricochets
the faint reflection of the stars
setting fire to the flames 

roused spirit is drawn to life,
daylight through the night;
knowing essence of souls
enchant the spark turned fire ...

Under The Moonlit Night



Under the Moonlit Night


The enchantment of the moonlit night
has a thousand eyes naturally aglow
Wild Irises glisten from within the impractical magic
The laughing owls pass midnight
basking in the illusions of their shadows,
echoing their crystal clear reverie through the trees
~
Nature gently sways in the swirling tempest breeze
drawing a shower of moon beams down
from far beyond the cosmic grandeur
Wisps of the slumbering sky unfurl
teardrops drunk by earth’s sod
Nocturnal rhythm's acoustical wings
softly chirp a bashful courting song
~
Laughter rings out blissfully alight
As if it were a joyful song of the wind
Mother Nature swings gracefully to and fro
Her leafy willow’s arms bend ardently
as she groans and moans from her silent toil
Passionately bearing the weight
of the celestial light's load
~
Moonlight moves across the shadows
unveiling an adoring love born beneath the trees
Two shadows emerge as one
from deep inside the secrets kept by the sleeping wilds
Reborn like enlightened life under the starlit night
transformed by a moment’s mystical magic
within the enchanting forest yesternight ...

"It is You" ~


... from other  realms of recurring dreams














“ It is You ”


The trap was set by the light of the silvery solstice moon
A simple blank sheet of paper and a blue ink pen .
The Antique Cherry Grove carved poster bed stood alone ,
adorning four Bordeaux colored silk pillowcases , 
fluffed feather pillows impatiently laying in wait .
The stone cold down comforter that blanketed the loneliness
 was neatly turned down from where it lay tucked and rolled ...

I close my eyes with a surrendering sigh ;
the cold touch of solitude
brings a breathtaking shiver
to my body's longing naked flesh .
Curling up in a fetal ball , like a tiny abandoned child ,
while the sandman steals away
the remains of another lonely day ...

In the silence of the stillness ,
you could hear the blood
running through my veins .
The pounding of my heartbeat is softened
while quietly drifting off into a dream ...

The first whisper broke the silence ,
as musings tiptoed through the silent reverie .
Songs sung throughout the secret places , 
safely kept out of view
Words murmured expose a hushed yearning .
An insatiable thirst that can not be quenched ...

Emotions ebb and flow
within the depths
of our sensual word play .
Intertwined in the infinite beauty
of enchanting chimera delights ...

We dance speechlessly
in the starlit moon dust , 
floating freely forevermore .
Mesmerized by a romantic essence
If only this recurring dream
could tenderly touch 
another impassioned heart of soul ...

The sweat soaked sheets are now tangled
Twisted traces tossed and turned
This awakening flesh is trembling 
with the morning chill .
The body feels drained and exhausted
as if there were never a moments sleep ...

The trap was set by the light of the shining solstice moon
Thoughtfully placed to catch the secrets 
of the mystic midnight spell .
Now I wake to find her illusion’s memory waning
Stranded on the cotton sheets of dawn ~

In the heat of the night's chimeras passion,

these three simple words  
were clearly scribbled on the paper trap ,
to remind me in blue ...

“ It is You ”
