            Dripping
         through lines
    without any edges,
your slurred speech paints 
          watercolors....

as rain extinguished embers
of the long day's city heat
blurred traffic light reflections 
painted puddles on the street....

God made you,
Adam with water brush, 
At dusk
Then, he made 
This world of 
Watercolors with
Just the 
Barest of brushstrokes...

watercolors bleed through the waking woods —
     nebulous November fog
              releases crimson shade

Sitting quietly,
Upon the water's edge,
Swimming in the watercolors of my mind,
Rush of waterfalls,
Cleanse sendimentary thoughts......

shimmering drops of watercolors fall bathing blossoms in their hues

Memories torn apart
And left forgotten
Like an artist's box 
Of watercolors,
Now hard and dry,
Sometimes make paths
Within my heart
Waking my soul
To what I am and
What I want to be....

I look in your eyes
And see the love you have for me
You see into my heart
And see it as your canvas
I see into your heart
Made up of my watercolors
Paint it white, yellow, or blue
Each shade will always say
I LOVE YOU...

A thought of my mother,
	bent over at her easel
		a fine strand of golden hair
			caressing 
			her 
			cheek
her delicate hands
	work a paint brush and
		 watercolors over white paper
			creating 
			her 
			magic....

The muted tones of yesterday...
Soft pastels of kids at play--
Lovers on a summer's day,
Charcoals of a moonlit May.

But watercolors fade away--
So too, the moonbeam's downy ray.
Some paintings seem to change that way...
How fleet, the hues of yesterday!

Billowing marshmallow clouds
reflect on pellucid lake
With watercolors and brush 
I swiftly capture this stunning scene

Languid and luscious wet 
like watercolors I lay near 
pillows seeking words 
in a writer’s space riding 
the story coursing 
with compassion freely I drop
the book crested crimson
melts into hot rose petals soft 
and succulent rising 
into you falling into you...

In fact, extreme lonely I am, floating in the infinite space
Learning formless choices
Flying like a balloon in the distant sky.

The big sea inside me is an endless mist
Just pictures and orchard with flowers and fruits
Lot of images rise, paint them with tears
Watercolors shed tears under the chest....

Curiosity during the time of new connections, is when self portraits are painted for each other, remember filling in the numbered spaces of the watercolors of our youth? Once pictures are completed, the stories we now are living, and thoughts unique to each, can frame and cover with glass, the pictures of our past....

...I bring your name up
 in one-sided conversations 
 that take place in empty
 rooms. Four walls, no windows
 1 canvas.

 I am sending you postcards
 from watercolors
 that wash away 
 with ease---I am chasing your memory.

 You loved with an expiration date.

 I am loving now in permanent
 ink.

Some artists utilize watercolors
Others dabble in clay
Some quilt
Others know ribbon embroidery

Some artists add glitter and sequins
Pearls, feathers, taffeta and other fluff
I like artists who think outside the norm
This artist wears her art

It is wearable art, she tells me
And it is for sure
she is the ultimate artist
I am proud to know her...

I painted my dreams
on the cloud covered heavens
Poetic brushstrokes
I hope to come true

In soft watercolors
the shade of forever
Then signed them with love
and sent them to you

In hopes you would find
along the horizon
These November wishes 
as night comes to be

And know in your heart
the artistic meaning
My every dream
is you here with me

l live amidst 
a watercolor world,
The colors they are many.       (colors)
Blue it seems I
feel that way more
often than I care to.
Pink and purple in
the sunset that I so love.
Green all around me
in everything that grows.
You see I have my own 
set of watercolors that
Make up a beautiful rainbow
that flows across the sky
for everyone to see.

two flamingos
they are peach
as the sun
they are one
romantic
sans frantic
so peaceful
at twilight beach

solitude of calming passion
at lakeside, they are sweet
watercolors blending
one leg is ascending
not shallow, love is deep
the painting makes me weep
i hold it to my heart
from life’s sorrows, i take retreat
