The Ripple That Dreamed Of Mountains

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Beneath the silence of a guiding moon
A ripple is birthed from an ocean's sigh
It carries a dream no wave can hold
To reach the peaks that pierce the sky

It drifted tirelessly through seasons of angry waves
Confronting obstacles designed to break its stride
It listened to whales sing their mystical songs
Yet its heart gazed beyond the lasting tide

At dawn it touched the golden grains of the shore
Where rivers and oceans intertwined their streams
Eyes lifting in silence it finally beheld
The mountain that lived inside its dreams

The Hourglass Of Eternal Twilight

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
In the fields where twilight lays to rest
An hourglass resides in a faded glow
The sands pause in a timeless sleep
Each grain stilled with nowhere to go

The glow draws light into the dark
Thirsty grains reach for the ethereal rain
Drops of life fall into open sands
Awakening the stars within the grains

The glass dissolves as the sky expands
Releasing new stars born into the night
Through dusk the eternal soul ascends
Roaming free to the cosmos taking flight

The Keeper Of Unspoken Prayers

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
At the pond where the air of silence breathes
A keeper watches with the heart's eternal eyes
Their hands hold sorrow made of breath
Flowing into the pond of sacred cries

Beneath the surface the water glows
Cleansing the grief the world has sewn
Each ripple hums a song of love
Heard by the souls of the alone

When the sacred pond gathers whole
The keeper lifts the burdened streams
Releasing light across the cosmic skies
Turning silence into radiant dreams

When Winter Lets go

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Beneath the pale frozen horizon
A single bloom steadily rises
Its fragile petals kissed of white
Holding the memory of winter's goodbye

The wind exhales a roaring chill
Brushing the stem with a fleeting sigh
It stands tall against all odds
Breathing light as a star beneath the sky

When morning releases ice from a weary land
The blossom reveals celestial colors touched by sun
Dew drifts upon the air of winter's last breath
Droplets say goodbye signaling winter is done


The Ascension Of The Black Moon

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Beyond the breath of a waiting sky
The black moon veiled its silver face
A stillness pondered in heavens grasp
As time stood still in its shadowed grace

Subtle flames cracked the listening silence
A pulse of light drawn out of dark
The cosmos stirred in a sacred rite
As seeds of dawn were set to spark

The night reveals its hidden womb
Birthing cosmic visions long concealed
Souls awaken from slumbered depths
Carrying whispers once tightly sealed

The heart rose with wings of fire
Renewal crowned in its radiant bloom
The soul steps free from its shadowed path
Ascending high with the black moon

The Bridge Beyond Shadows

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Beneath a sky that holds its breath
A narrow bridge glows with ember sheen
Stretching far where time forgets to watch
Into the void where shadows roam unseen

The lost slowly walks with trembling hands
Each step strums an ethereal chord
Sacred notes of welcoming clear the way
Guided at last to love's accord

Across the span whispers fade away
A single light calls the lost by name
Hands find warmth in the light ahead
On a path carved in solace of quiet flame

The Lanterns Of The Forgotten Sky

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Through the sea of dusk where silence sleeps
Lanterns aimlessly drift through rivers in the sky
Their glow awakens the slumbering stars
Each flicker pulses in waves they cannot hide

They wander gently through timeless echoes
Each flame a memory the cosmos keeps
Stars cradle their dreams in its eternal light
Ready to be seen again in eternity's sleep

Through the endless veil their fire remains
Each lantern carries a love unbound
Eternity hums through their gentle flame
Guiding the soul where infinity is found

The Dreaming Sunset

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
The sky leaned in as waves caught fire
Melted clouds brushed hues upon drifting shores
Tranquil sounds whisper to an eager heart
As the spirit opens a hidden door

The sun closes its eyes with a gentle sigh
Sweeping the sea in a sunset painted flame
Shadows bowed in prayer for the twilight
Seeking the night to call their name

Within the soft glow the soul found rest
As dreams of courage begin their reign
The heart finds comfort in the warm fading light
Knowing dawn will rise to embrace again

When The Soul Wept In Silence

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Sitting in stillness where the river flows deep
The air unmoved and branches hushed
Birds meditated quietly in their nest
In the serene mind quiet notes were brushed

In the void a hidden song blooms like a rose
Carried by whispering clouds filling the space
The heart reaches out to the soul's eternal hand
As a dance begins within the music's embrace

The song was carved by tranquility's flute
Soft as moonlight reaching the farthest seas
When the soul wept into a yearning heart
The heart discovered where it's meant to be

The Language Of Falling Leaves

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Whispers from trees beckon the heart
As leaves descend with voices unseen
Their drift a syllable born of the twilight wind
Scripts of secrets carried from worlds in-between

A single leaf glowed with luminous veins
Shining brighter as it reaches gentle hands
Words etch fire upon the canvas of the soul
Weaving tales that the heart only understands

The ground begins to bloom of autumn light
Revealing your place among the stars
Unfolding the truth seen with hidden eyes
Showing you the essence of who you are

The Candle Refuses To Go Out

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Through caverns carved of shadowed stone
A flame endures the chilling winds of doubt
Warm flickers send gentle tides of hope
As a stubborn flame refuses to go out

Ash whispers hymns of time's decay
The flame trembles in the absence of light
A soul finds courage in the ember's sway
Through darkest days and coldest nights

Even when darkness loudly lays its claim
The candle glows with a timeless breath
Enduring all with its glow of radiant fire
Renewing light from the silence of death

Footsteps In The Rain

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Beneath the sky painted in silver silk
The rain beats the drum made of stone
Each droplet fills the steps I've left behind
Highlighting the path I walk alone

Streetlamps hold halos that dissolve and sway
As water gathers to make their own streams
They search for other footsteps to fill
To glimpse the purpose in another’s dreams

It is I alone whose steps are left behind
Through storms endured and seasons rearranged
At the path’s end, beneath a quiet sky,
A rainbow blooms and joy is gently claimed

Embrace Of The Tide

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Under a blue canopy glazed in fading gold
Flowing in and out in the quiet arms of dusk
The ripples convey stories deep in its waves
Whispering tales to sea shells told to hush

Gentle swells migrate to welcoming shores
Carving patterns the stars trace in the night
Tides sway and dance to a lover's embrace
And the salty sweet air tingles the senses delight

Under the gaze of the moon's silver glow
The unburden soul releases unbound dreams
Taking with it the essence of your beating heart
Safely guarding it with starlight ethereal strings

The Soul And The Stars

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
In the skies where the ancients cloak the night
Speaking silently through its prism dance
Whispers heard by the soul to an open heart
Pierces deep with every winking glance

Secrets unravel from the constellations keep
Sparking visions and words from memories past
They fall like fragile petals of light into an endless well
Where time loses grip making all moments last

The soul stands beneath the crown of the infinite sky
Unequivocal love rains light from the glimmering veil
And in that still silent moment with these ancient stars
A deep love shines that will always prevail

Out Of The Ashes

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Through the abyss where forgotten embers dream
A phoenix stirs under the veil of the silent night
It waits patiently looking up at the soulful fire of stars
Longing to bloom in the celestial garden of light

It feels the gentle touch of the wind's embrace
Mending feathers that are frayed and torn
While the heart braids the soul with eternity's strings
Shadows start to fade and new dreams are reborn

Rising heroically where the sun's first colors gleam
The weight of the past falls to the darkness below
Wings spread to the warmth of a golden dawn
Soaring through the skies brushed in a eternal glow

Illumination of a soul’s journey

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Through the mists the unseen spirit glows
Holding a lantern in the melancholy of night
Weaving through shadows and unknown seas
Where truth flows in the river of light

It listens to the ancient serene songs of stars
Each note a seed the heart can sow
In the eternal garden where the soul can rest
Soaking showers of wisdom for it to grow

Standing proudly where the sunrise meets the sky
Obligations of life dissolve as the morning dew
It's wings embraced by loves ethereal light
Flying away dancing in a golden heavenly hue

Mystical Guardians of the Night

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
In the shadows of night where the moonlight weaves
Eyes pierce the darkness with an eerie glow
Silently guarding realms beyond our sight
Where thick fog and restless spirits flow

Between the worlds it chooses to walk alone
Born of the earth and shaped by ancient fire
It moves swift in the night with mystic sway
A ghostly light dancing with a soul's desire

A sacred song unfurls in the essence of its howl 
Laying the bridge between the stars and clay
The guardian of the silver twilight moon
Who guides lost hearts home beyond the day

The Wings of Morning and Dusk

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
A silver hush arrives at the appearance of dawn
Fragile wings are cradled by the suns embrace 
The torpor rest sheds its nocturnal heavy coat
Releasing the shackles of the tired moons long face

They fly carrying the dreams we've left behind
Through trees and fields where ancient spirits roam
Each flutter leaving a trail of iridescent stars
Leading those who are lost gently back home

We watch their elegant purposeful strides
As they dance until the silence folds the day
The twilight has come to hold their wings
Safely heading home as they drift away

Finding Peace in Nature’s Embrace

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Sitting quietly listening to the beat of natures heart
Where the wind, water, and earth become one
Tranquility rests its head on your ailing soul
As you bask in the luminescence of a gentle sun

Nature becomes your unconditional eager audience
While wrapping your soul in silken ethereal strings
Your heart strums an angels sweet melody
As birds far and wide start to harmoniously sing

The synchronicity of trees sway in a joyous rhythm
Animals emerge to sit where the water kisses the shore
Their eyes close to view the cosmic stars within
As the song of love plays an everlasting encore

Truth In The Darkness

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
The comforting sun fades elegantly out of eyes reach
Revealing the truth of the dark under a moon lit night
Uncertainty drapes the mind with its unrelenting breeze
As past nightmares come forth with the absence of light

When closing the eyes you see the sun that never fades
The one that's always there speaking to you in the silence
Waiting patiently by the wisdom tree at the lotus pond
Away from echoing dark memories and fears crippling violence

Soak in the prism of its unchanging eternal essence
To finally see what's inside this luminous star 
Dark memories flee from the real everlasting truth
Now that you remember who you really are


Celestial Serenade

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
The night sky opens after sunset
Stars begin their celestial serenade
Each page shines eternal secrets
Marching across in an endless parade

The moon pours its soft tender light
Gently touching the curves of the world
As darkness holds the world like a lover's arm
Never too tight and never to unfurl

Each star shines of a flickering soul
Singing songs only silence knows
The world turns in delight of the serenade
An inner peace in all begins to glow
 
The stars burn fiercely yet so free
Weaving hymns in the light and dark
Let the endless sky pull you close
So you may hear the songs within your heart

The Lotus Pond

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
I knew someday it was time for me to go
Though strings of attachment begged me to stay
Addicted to the well of routine made of a coffin
Poisoning my will so I remain weak everyday

Voices in my head tell me I thirst for the well
As my heart stays quelled in complicit compliance
I only get away on the path I keep hidden close
Where the lotus grows in the still pond of silence

I want to play in the dreamy fields of adventure
To find true desires uncovered by a whimsical heart
Patiently I wait for my heart in the lotus pond
Until it gains the strength for our adventure to start

Nocturnal Angels

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Laying down staring at a familiar ceiling
Before nocturnal angels sing me a lullaby
I think of the days yet to be fulfilled
And ones that have already whispered by

My days are filled with a reality fairy tale
Where cowardly lions fail to protect their pride
And heartless tin men watch callously
When help is needed never choosing a side

I keep pondering while sleepy eyes set to dusk
Then turn my focus to fairy tales told in dreams
I smile looking forward to happier times
As I listen to nocturnal angels begin to sing

Hands Of Fate

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems 
Fate can be a teller of fortunes
Some of riches and others of fools gold
We sit in the cocoon of its shaky hand
Blindly relying on a path already foretold

It plays with our lucky dice of chance
When we find ourselves in places meant to be
Sometimes we lose sight in moments of doubt
It whispers in dreams of what we need to see

It's hard to see while always moving forward
Until the day we look back at the map we made
Every destination had it's unseen purpose
Finally making sense of the game fate has played

Carry On

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems
Image by 珂 杨 from Pixabay
Traveling endlessly on my chosen path
I often wonder when I will reach the end
Where I can bask next to sunset waves
As my soul threads my life with eternal silk
To then be set free on the ocean of time

I always have doubts of where I'm going
But never regret the experience I've seen
My legs are tired driven by the air of hope
So I carry on with a purpose in my lungs
Until I arrive where the sunset kisses the sea

Miracle Of Life

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems
Image by Pexels from Pixabay
Dry and depleted the soil lays to rest
Cradling a seed its sworn to protect
Under the law mother nature decrees
The soil is regarded in the highest respect

It takes a beating in the harshest conditions
Still it remains a stalwart holding the light
Hope cocooned in the void of darkness
Waiting to be seen as the miracle of life

When nature sheds her tears for the soil
It stirs a love that is transferred to the seed
Pure unconditional love rises from the ground
A miracle shines brightly for the world to see

Sacred Ground

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems
Image by Chakkree Chantakad from Pixabay
My eyes open slowly to a new sunrise
I watch soft clouds survey the ground
While plants and trees bathe in the mist
I begin to drink deeply of my surroundings 
As illuminated tranquility reaches my waking sight

Calming whispers sing in the short distance
The ancient words cradle my vulnerable heart
Fear is withering away into the growing light
Where bliss emanates as my new found aura
I have arrived to peace on this sacred ground

Love Being Born

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems
Image by ParallelVision from Pixabay
Love was born in a fraction of a moment
Breaking the rules of space and time
Existing in each others motionless gaze
Where the perfect mix came to intertwine

There's no rhyme or reason for this to happen
Other than the heart knowing what it wants
It always searches even when not aware
With whispers of hope that surface and haunt

Be ready for all possibilities under the stars
Let yourself be free as a ripple on the sea
Wherever it takes you trust in your heart
So you may witness love being born for you to see

The Road From Nowhere To Somewhere

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems
Image by Joshua Woroniecki from Pixabay
Ethereal strings tug at my listening heart
Music is strummed with fingers of intuition
A song my heart can only understand
Guiding me soulfully on my life expedition

I trust my heart willingly with open arms
Though at times I was left open for pain
Without the foundation of heartache
I would have never evolved to stay in the rain

I can't explain where I will be going next
It feels like I'm still at a place called nowhere
All I can do is trust the music in my heart
So it may lead me to where I belong somewhere

Return Of The Lost

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems
Image by Pezibear from Pixabay
In a dream came our final embrace
I stood paralyzed as you floated away
Vanishing like fog watching the sunrise
My sorrow filled eyes plead for you to stay

I awake to an empty void in my chest
A shallow grave where flowers once bloomed
Waiting for the light so they may grow again
So I can write freely under a summer moon

Patience and hope are what fills my dreams
My soul reaches out for the light I yearn
I start to feel your shining warmth again
Filling my pen as my passion has returned

The Character Of A Blade

Into the fire the blade must go
To mend together its hidden flaws
Forge them onto the blades surface
Where character shines to be seen
Never to return to the shame of darkness

Glowing hot the blade shines brightly
Deep in the core returned the light
Into the waters of refinement it goes
Now unbreakable with a defined purpose
Ready to be unsheathed unto the world

 

Just A Dream Away

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

forest-653448_1280

In the short distance the forest calls to me
I can hear ocean waves in its rustling leaves
While I taste the evergreen air in my lungs
My weakness is exposed for all to see
When sleeping endorphins paint a smile

I can sit under these trees for all my days
Watching the sunlight sew its way in
While particles glow like sprinkled fairy dust
I can imagine myself being caught in a breeze
Sailing freely being gently kissed by the light

I dream of these moments within the trees
Maybe those dreams were forged by my heart
Knowing I may search for answers in that realm
For my heart knows I long for inner peace
And that peace might be found just a dream away

 

Simple Life

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

sunrise-274257_1280
Image by sipa from Pixabay

I was welcomed by the perfect air
Crisp and cool with a touch of eucalyptus
Looking upon the sorbet morning sky
Watching birds stretch their sleepy wings
Preparing to soar to their natural freedom

I turned to look at dew on a flower
They looked like tears of joy to see the sun
Their faces angle to catch the perfect rays
Being held by the suns warm gentle hands
Delicately to not cause the petals any harm

It’s so easy to forget the simple things
When dreams are sold on small little screens
As we try to buy our way into a fantasy
While magic and wonder await outside
Ready to show us the marvels of simple life

 

Forever Connected

There is something special between us
Forever connected by a special thread
Stretching farther than time can see
No matter where we are in the universe
The thread is felt tugging our hearts

You told me when you thought of me
The phone would ring with me on the line
I would tell you of a star in my dream
Sitting on the beach watching the sunset
Hearing your whisper call my name

Distance and time always keep us apart
As our lives go farther and farther away
Down the road on our chosen divided path
Sometimes I can feel a tug on the thread
Reminding me that we’re forever connected

 

While The River Flows

writing-1209121_1280
Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay

Yesterday I had so much on my mind
Thoughts flowed reckless with nowhere to go
Until the day I found an endless reservoir
Next to many others on a utopian land
Where fantasy and reality coexist and play

That was over a half a decade in the past
When I filled my pen with thoughts of my soul
I began articulating a journey etched in time
Finding a hidden love that awakened my heart
Painting metaphors on canvas in soulful words

I’m still sitting quietly by the rivers edge
Watching flowers of past and present bloom
I can feel my pen yearning to spill its words
To quench the thirst of these empty pages
For years to come while the river flows

* I was just notified that this is my 6 year anniversary with WordPress. I can’t believe it’s already been 6 years since I started writing here. I never thought I would still be doing this especially after spending some time away. I want to thank you all so much for continuing with me on this journey.❤

Hero

It’s hard to find strength in sadness
My eyes well up every time you sleep
I give you answers that gleam on the surface
Though the painful truth lingers deep

I try to comfort you with fabled tales
Where the hero saves the day in the end
Maybe it’s just a way to comfort myself
Giving hope to heroes that hardly ever win

Never stop believing in your heroes
They exist here because of your dreams
I put all my hope in your untainted heart
To become a hero with angel wings

Pacific Blue

I miss you so much pacific blue
Been so long since I felt your touch
Wrapping me in your glistening skin
Floating peacefully on your fingertips
While my soul plays gleefully in the sun

I dream of you through the window
Seeing you written on my shooting star
I can’t help but feel the pain of longing
When I know you’re still so far away
Hidden away behind miles of land

One day we will embrace again
Hopefully before the last grain of sand
Tumbles down the bottom of my hourglass
Sending me sailing to a new dawn
Without ever saying goodbye

I’m Going Away

I’m going away to my happy place
I’ll be back in a little while
Don’t bother searching for me
It’s far from physical reach
But close as a beating heart

I will fly through the clouds
Play like a dolphin in the sea
Sit as a blooming lotus on water
Breathing deeply of smokeless air
Basking in the suns warm spring

When I do come back home
The transformation will be complete
Look deeply in the soul of my eyes
You will find a clear tranquil pond
And a lotus I brought back with me

Absolute Love

Image by Alexas_Fotos from Pixabay

She watches all with compassionate eyes
Staying behind because of absolute love
Keeping her from flying far away
Into the heavens where she belonged
Joining the rest of stars in the sky

She collected all lost souls of humanity
Washed them clean with pure loving light
Remaining safe within her ethereal silk
Until the time is ready for them to fly
Bringing balance to a lopsided world

She lifts herself to dance in the open sky
Reborn butterflies fly to cover the world
They leave a trail of her essence behind
As she slowly dissolves away into the night
A smile is last seen as she fades away

 

Warrior Of The Sea

I wish I could hear your epic tales
Weaving your life onto my imagination
Of what it’s like to be wind on the open sea
Watching the tapestry of complex sunsets
Measuring time with the rise and fall of light

I wonder of storms you’ve come across
Where the next thought might be the last
Wading through miles of thick muddy fog
Waiting for a rogue wave in the night
When nightmares can manifest in reality

I know that you’ve found your peace
Making it safely home to rest in your grave
A fitting ending for a warrior of the sea
Dipping your tired toes to soak in the tide
Having a perfect sunset view everyday

 

Coffee And A Book

All I need is coffee and a book
To see sunny days on stormy nights
Nestled safely on my favorite chair
Exploring the genius of imagination
Artfully dictated with a magical pen

Some days I majestically fly away
Maybe explore the depths of the sea
Or delve fathoms within my heart
Finding treasures never physically held
Instead filling cracks of my thirsty mind

Time goes by as fast as a bullet train
Pages flip recklessly causing paper cuts
But I don’t mind bleeding for the cause
To live in the moment on the next page
Til one story ends and a new one begins

 

The Garden Of Peace

meditation-17798_1280

My thoughts run wild sitting alone
At a lake staring into my soul for hours
Relaxed with a pinch of melancholy
Watching paper notes come and go
Hoping they burn and float away

I want to visit the garden of peace
So my mind can be free to explore
The palace of quiet silent halls
Deep within the heart of my mind
Where only the hidden eye can see

Patiently I still wait on the shore
My thoughts finally chose to fly away
Like birds migrating for a time
I can now rest on tranquil clouds
To be taken to the garden of peace

 

When I’m Gone

Please don’t weep for me when I’m gone
Use the tears on the joy of a new life
Sprouting from a seed nourished by nature
Guided to face the sun with your loving hands
So they feel the warmth of love out of darkness

I’ve found a home in your heart years ago
It all started when I gazed in your eyes
Sharing an infinite moment in slowed time
Our auras glowed of a bright golden light
While it gently rained of miniature stars

So lucky I feel to have been in your life
The world could use your loving heart
To feel the love I always saw in your eyes
So save your tears for the joy of a new life
Please don’t weep for me when I’m gone

 

Dystopian Nightmare

landscape-4909219_1280
Image by enriquelopezgarre from Pixabay

When the day faded away to night
I can’t resist the evening lullaby
Carrying me on a cloud to a dream
To the land of a tempest nightmare
Or one of Elysian waterfalls

I find myself on a cold desolate island
Where I feel emptiness of abandoned life
Fear begins to hold my heart hostage
As I relapse in darkness of being alone
Surrounded by the perfect storm

I can’t tell if this is a test or prophecy
Either way I refuse to let fear hold my heart
Then the skies cleared in an instant
Revealing a hot air balloon ready for me
Departing to traverse the moon lit skies

 

Goodbye Winter My Friend

We’ve said goodbye many times
I’m thankful for the moments shared
In a wool blanket sipping hot cocoa
Staring endlessly at stars on clear nights
As embers from the fire flicker away

I carried the burden of summer
Dripping down from head to toe
Into the majestic fall of leaves
Only to get a soft whispering wind
To satisfy my sleepless nights

When I felt your cool winter kiss
The weight of summer lifted away
Filling welcoming clouds overhead
Where soft white tears gently rained
Until it was time to say goodbye again

 

The Dandelion

There’s a light in the distance
Beaming through cold shadows
Painting warmth on a dandelion
Standing stoic in solitude
Ready to disperse its angels

I approach it slowly like love
Cautiously in timid careful steps
The atmosphere teems of magic
I bathe in its glowing humidity
Once a spectator now apart of its ocean

I can’t help but feel loving peace
Emanating from this dandelion
So I kneel in earnest respect
Giving wishes of love to be carried
By its angels lofting in the breeze

Eternal Flame

Lets just sit for a little awhile
To reminisce of eternity we made
When we became a single entity
Fused together under holy stars
Where our love was blessed immortal

We’ve been through so much
Proving our bond is shatter proof
Even when thrown in the darkness
We emerge holding the light
Burning brightly for lifetimes

When our lives are extinguished
We will follow the flames of our heart
To light our way to unification
No longer how many eons it takes
Uniting our flames once again

 

There’s Something About The Night

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

moon-2106892_1280
Image by philpace from Pixabay

There’s something about the night
Might be the glint of noiseless stars
Perhaps the calming glow of the moon
Serenading us in a silent lullaby
Parading leisurely across the sky

The night is where I imagine flying
All across the unknown darkness
Witnessing the first light of stars
Born under intense collapse
While some dim and fade away

The night is where we harvest our love
Planted and nourished during the days
To grow tall by the sun in our hearts
Then reap its nectar in a passionate kiss
There’s something about the night……

 

Coffee Poem II

by MisterNorCal, posted in All, Poems

coffeecup

You’re all I ever need
Such a simple little bean
An antidote for narcolepsy
The drug for the happy feels
Awakener of my stagnant mind

The bold scent arouses my senses
I run hastily to it in dreams
When I wake its the first thought
Walking dead tired to the light
Following the smell to liquid life

My body envelopes its dark silk
Wrapping warmth head to toe
Breaking the ice of cold sleep
So I may start the day in sunshine
Spreading love with my happy smile

*Its been 6 years since I wrote of my good friend so I thought today would be a good day
