Golden Visions
©2000 by James C Hartsell

there is
a
world of
fantasy
in the
yellow maple
leaf
as it twizzles
to
earth

within those moments
carefree
captured by
forces unknown
gravity
the whim of
an
autumn breeze
images of surrender unfold
of
yielding
itself
to the beauty
of
a
spell
bound flight
beheld
before
earth claims its golden
visions
for her own



yesterday’s change
©2000 by James C Hartsell

the day passes fast
when you’re losing your grasp
hours seduced by seconds
moments rushing more fleet
than memories struggling to remain

no time to relish
what you do not have
or to cast away discarded dreams
seconds elude weeks
weeks mystify months
years are yesterday’s change

madness rapes time
on tomorrow’s clouds
sewn together in makeshift days
longing to fade



in a soft light
©2000 by James C Hartsell

your beauty blossoms
like the petals of a rose
in the morning

dew from midnight dreams
moist with passion
haze my image
in your eyes

my finger tips retrace
the paths of pleasure
in the valleys and hills
of your flesh
ivory to pink

and once again
in a soft light
our lips unite
breath to breath
exploding to brilliance



distance
(for you)
(c)2001 James C. Hartsell

I have never
measured the miles
between us

distance enslaves
lethargic
dreamless minds

for friends and lovers
touch sails
on wistful winds

it robes itself
in the coo
of mourning doves

and the
melodic warbles
of evening meadowlarks

and when stars ensemble
the infinite void
shaming darkness

the moon
mirrors
your image


focus
©2000 by James C Hartsell

rummaging for inspiration
I lean back and gaze
through the skylight

an evergreen bough sways
sweeps the sky
clouds float by

bright patches
appear
and disappear

occasionally
big birds soar
a rhapsody on blue

and then I spot
the dusty cobwebs
dangling



just pondering
©2000 by James C Hartsell

I have given up writing about love
hopeless romantic in the throes of wind songs
swooning tall trees

now I write about the ripples
ribbing desert dunes
and the wind howls that sculpted them

or the perfect symmetry of swallows
darting their confusion
across a gray summer sky

it seems easier to capture the ragged essence
of swift summer storms
dragging their passion behind them

although I no longer write about love
I often ponder its mysteries
fondly



endings
(for you)
(c)2001 James C. Hartsell

day’s end
blazes bronze to gold
then burns to twilight

soft as the waves
of passion
ebbing

there is a joy
in solitary
reverie

remembering
remembering
remembering

kisses
of
day



goodnight
(for you)
(c)2001 James C. Hartsell

I pull the blankets
around my shoulders
and sigh

like a lover lost in wanting

and wait
for flannel dreams



tear drops
(c)2001 James C. Hartsell

peach clouds
on baby blue
filigreed fantasies
dance
through the trees
swooning
from the breath
of morning

the simple softness
of sighs
remembered
autumns ago
folds my mind
in tear drops
reflecting dreams
