The Lotus

~ the dream goes on forever ~


Original DDE™ surrealistic art entitled “The Lotus” by: rob kistner © 8/7/24

 
Dream with me my love
love is the magic we will seek

seek it until the end of days
days numbering to eternity

eternity — where love’s magic hides
hides in the folds of the lotus

lotus petals — love’s open wings
wings of pure beauty and truth

truth — the key to perfect surrender
surrender is the secret of love’s dream
dream that goes on — forever

SunsetGunn

NOTE — I borrowed lines and inspiration from my 2011 poem: Skye Fyre

The SunsetGunn is loaded, the controls, in GunnMaster’s grip
calmly concentrating, he scans the horizon with careful eyes
the golden sun having made his journey, is weary from the trip
quicksilver moon will very soon, traverse the starry skies

Gaia rolls on gently, hushed in quiet space
GunnMaster has her skyline, locked squarely in his sight
Gaia pulls a veil of stars, slowly across her face
GunnMaster has a task, he needs complete before its night

he’s to set the sky ablaze, before he falls to sleep
a fiery coral-orange, twilight-blue, and crimson-red
in patterns broad and bold, in colors rich and deep
he carefully aims the SunsetGunn, and blasts it overhead

in a brilliant, blinding flash, he sets the dimming skies a’fire
in vivid hues, and lavish shades — the dusky sky ignites and burns
GunnMaster has succeeded, so for this night, he can retire
the SunriseGunn already loaded, in early morning, he returns

Small Stones – trio

…below are three of my poems that have been selected by Fiona Robyn for publication on her “A Handful of Stones” poetry site. She refers to these brief works as ‘small stones’, hence the title of my post. Accompanying each of my selected poems is the date on which it will be published. I invite you to visit Fiona’s site as you will find some wonderful little gems, or rather, ‘small stones’ there…

 

Dark Dock
•
bow light hangs heavy in the fog
its beam fractured ‘cross chop water
probing for the dark dock
•
(publishing March 24th)

 

For Granted
•
we fall asleep each night
snug in our bed
confident of gravity
•
(publishing April 22nd)

 

Serenity
•
green leaves on a blue pond
float in golden sun
as red birds softly sing
•
(publishing May 11th)
