RANDOM POEMS 26: AURUM AND OTHER POEMS

-saiom shriver-

AURUM IS THE AURA OF AURORA

Dawn pastels canvas of dark velvet blue
Then snuffs star lamps she painted by
She draws back curtains where lovers lie
Sparks them to move til night's lullaby.

She pinks the Notre
Dame crystal rose
and caps cloud mountains
with pinkest snows.

Sips the dew from chaliced blooms
and tips the trees with saffron singe
and sows the sea with seed light mirrors
and sews sky togas with purple fringe.

Crowing cock thinks
he summoned her quiet
Yet her stillness begets
the bees' buzzing riot

Next kindles the fires in the grates
and sets the kettles on to bubble
Breaks mouni vows as cities hum Om
Lovesilvers the lakes with power to double

She rolls back hillquilts of mysterious mist.
Unwinds vine tendrils so tenderly kissed
Lifts bird crowns from out their wings
winding their throats that they might sing

Wanded by her molten rays
Dracula is melted clear away
Cloistered petals come out to play
Sequestered sequins start to dancepray

Whispers the slumbering
down from dream stories
and swivels faces
of blue morning glories.

Takes down the moon she hung at twilight
Fires up lattice of moving searchlights
as she throws op the east gate in dawnlight
to wait for her God in demibright

Seeing His blazing face
vanished the night
In his unconditional love's arms enfolded
Aurum is the aura of Aurora unfolded.-

MONEY PROBLEMS OF MOZART AND VAN GOGH

.. no
stress discordant
interfered with the
chords of Mozart
nor did depressing
grays spill into Van Gogh's art

FULL BLOWN

A bud smells not as as sweet
as a rose fullblown
whose fragrance magnetizes bees to
her softpetaled throne

a heart inclosed
and tightly wrapped
does not with love pour

GARDENER

She loves flowers
and she hates trees..
she cuts down the
creators of the breeze

KIND LANDLORD

He owns a big apartment
complex by the woods
and has put ladders
in the dumpsters that
the raccoons not
be trapped inside

3 BRAVE LITTLE ONES

A redtailed hawk
we spy
circling in
aquamarine skies
.. suddenly come
3 little ones
each a fraction of his size
divebombing him away
from their nested
babies' cries
