Blue Cascade

BLUE CASCADE

Start with a day that’s lemon luminous,
sip the lingering trace of moonsilence
as gold kisses the frosty feet of Rainier.
Tea kettle whistles across honeycombed
acres of snow-blown providence. Oranges
on the kitchen sill brighten the morning
into a huge spectacular usefulness,
the suede silver of aspens, coastal red
kisses breathed in oak and solid marble.
The interior diamonds of your soul
are what amaze me most. The moist
breath of pink glazed pearls pooling
intensely at the base of your neck.
The vocalizations there, sweet birds
and gentle bones, transcending.
It’s grace that falls, pure grace
and well-misted as San Francisco
fogbanks rolling in and early
rock and roll. Huge stereos
in maroon scirrocos. Aqualung
out onto Lake McCall. The cashmere
music of your sun-rubied clavicles
lavishing marvelously coconutted
out on the deck. May the day
bring you seashells and spring berries
supple as indigo chocolates.
In the end, the bliss you weave
is equal to the mystic green beginnings,
that tender liberty, love.

    '..... Ah! A perfect illustration of the poststructuralist paradox. Does the signifier "Merlot" correspond with the 'truth' of the bottle I polished off last night, or do we hold in our thoughts a different "signified" of bottle-of-Merlot-ness? Perhaps we're dreaming of the same bottle!" -FinsburyParkCarrots

    Moonwhisper
    falling slowly on the gold
    (my love in slumber):
    caress her dreams
    with
    tales
    and promises
    and
    eternity
    of
    in
    throughout
    my
    new
    Eastern
    sun.

    a see-through pink
    Japanese paper lantern
    hushed
    as a Dutch artist
    dewy
    underfoot
    as paisleyed mushrooms
    sprouting
    near mossy stars

    raw amber
    capturing
    a moment's
    flight

    the fossilized pewter
    of old dreams
    still
    dazzling silver
    in love's new eyes~~~


    (encore, more sparkling cheese, cinnamon, champagne !!
    joie de vivre, jolly gates all ajar)

    All luminous,
    lustrous pinks
    on Rainier
    snow fields,
    reflected or
    refracted from
    joyglow of
    friends smiles,
    San Franciscan
    midnights, icy
    glaze Lake
    McCAll, pearled
    waters of
    Snoqualomie Falls
    at sunset,
    splish splash
    waters on
    ferry hull
    to Bainbridge,
    (if the
    best view
    is just
    around the
    corner, why
    bother?) &
    sweet birds
    echoing calls
    as blistering
    keyboards clang
    the hall
    at Bumpershoot--
    yeah Blue
    Cascade in
    wondrous dawn,
    lightfall memories
    as icy
    blue spring
    waters Sahallie,
    all glorious
    in that
    mossy dark
    (hidden recesses)
    grotto of
    murmering mind--
    spin us
    another song
    he said
    (after all,
    he was
    so right
    about White
    Stripes, eh?)
    spin us
    another song,
    lustrous lumins
    Blue Cascadia,
    circadian rhythms
    remembering our
    future, WOW!
    and of
    course, those
    oranges, lemons,
    sprigs of
    cherries, all
    wishing they
    were made
    from stars,
    Jupiter rising
    near full
    moon night,
    adieu, adieu,
    ma petite
    jeune fille,
    my sweet
    cass-cadian blu.

    REPRISE

    Japanese lantern's
    jade tourmaline
    light, flickering
    flames sparkling
    joyous & bright,
    silver & amber,
    pinkening golds,
    palette of
    diamonds-fire
    colorful & blue,
    all through
    the dark
    wood of
    night, starfire
    and sapphires:

    --that's how
    I love you.
    the night

    gold kisses frosty feet
    and she lets go the
    cloud paper petticoats that fall
    and blush
    for the touch to the toes
    is just too much

    so beautiful I might
    eat rocks atop grapenuts
    in grapefruit juice
    snow-capped with sugar
    for want of the ache to dissapear

    this promised life befallen
    where i once woke
    to tides and mountains
    all at the same time

    my ocean lost
    the icecap melts
    coming back
    to fill the bay
    with a 1968 impala


    muscle car
    It's all yellow.

    god i so now how awesome the days
    livin close to sea and mountain
    here, in the flat lands, only dreams
    but way superior gorgeous leaves
    in autumn...
    sof i find myself achin for those
    pinnacle 2-3 weeks when the colors
    go wild

    "rocks atop grapenuts"

    pretty fishes
    all pond-drenched
    golden
    in orange light,
    the little candles
    burning
    there,
    safe-souled
    adrift
    on
    the soft Ganges~

    and love keeps us
    warm
    and solid in earthquakes
    or self-doubt

    and many are the reassurances
    of sun

    Fenny flatlands around here...drained by the Dutch back in the eighteenth century...lots of "Present tense" L-shaped trees standing in the middle of black fields like wyrd sisters, calling you with Wintered enchantment...big grey skies....
    but come March, bleachyblue noons and weighty blossoms, pregnant luscious nature's germens and trees pulsing green from the earth, making love to the blue bejewelled blissweaving sky forever!!!

    yes the wizard trees
    does
    a tree
    inspire
    you

    yes, and the sleeping twigs
    laden with snow
    soften
    in
    dreams
    of tomorrow's colors

    vital!
    vibrant
    with transatlantic seascapes
    and telepathic kisses
    for one who
    sleeps on the Pacific rim~~

    so much love,
    and the romantic gems of springtime
    are just nuggets
    of the gold-rainbowed eternal moment
    ART
    the love-instant of total aesthetic arrest
    (Joyce)
    and the thingyness of now
    becomes
    so BIG
    and romance leads to revelation
    of the giant oneness
    reverberating
    in toes and roots
    **

    sun green
    snow white
    and a volume of hues
    floating
    on the breeze~~~~

    I enjoyed reading this thread...it is amazing to me how people can make words flow so smoothly, wonderful... thanks! :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!
