morning kiss


triangles of light;
soft fractals
of a sun
i watch
climb across
a milky blue threadbare sky

a sky
as washed-out
and thin
as old sheets

light
falls
on autumn's dried husks
also
fallen
on the winter blue
of a river pebble

a morning kiss


for reya and jo

  1. Beautiful verse, elegant in its simplicity, much like the natural light of which it speaks. I love the photograph.

  8. How sensual with the threadbare sky and thin old sheets, that cold winter blue warmed by a morning kiss. A beautiful juxtaposition.

  10. Exquisite imagery, Steven. You capture the beauty of the approaching Winter perfectly.

    May I now boast that a man has written poetry for me? Maybe some day, after I've brought it to dwell privately inside my heart for a time.

    What happiness you've brought my way today...thank you!
