Thyris Taylor Poems

I happen upon her in a place of music, drink
and polite conversation. She has approachable
bright eyes and a lovely posture.
...

I rush outside right after breakfast. There is not much time.
The morning air is cool and fragrant with the smell of
honeysuckle vines, Dogwood trees and flowering Magnolias.
Birds are chirping and singing in the early morning light.
...

Gossamer wings with beautiful colors.
very friendly, peaceful and lovable.

So many we take them for granted
...

A storm rolls in on the wind,
lightening follows thunder,
rain fall soaks all exit yonder.
...

Lord hav mercy heah come Mr. Charlie,
He gone want his rent money,
and I sho don'tgot it.
...

Sara Sue
A ball of mirthful fur
challenging a loving hand
with a claw, and a bite,
...

Once I stood tall and straight with muscles flexible and strong.
My movement through space and time was strong and graceful.
My spirit soared like a bird in flight. My strength was everlasting.
Now I fade.

The leaves on the trees are starting to turn. Plants are morphing intodormant states, or completing their journey on this plane of existence. It is the Maker who decides.

Squirrels, bears, and other animals that hibernate are preparing for their long, deserved winter sleep. They find dens, gather food, put on fat, it is time. They await signs from the Maker.
...

Gentle Joseph wise and strong,
what do thy glean, is Mary thine own.
Do ye think it is worth thy while,
a virgin wife who is with child.
...

Love is very much like fire. It offers warmth and energy. It offers vitality and emotional connectedness.

When you stare into a fire and watch the dancing flames it is beautiful, hypnotic, and leaves a warm after-glow. Fire is nature in it's most raw form.
...

We worship your nature to extend life to the faithful.
You with the power, our Goddess of the fountain.
Would you grant an audience to the old souls,
so we can request that which only you can fulfill.
...

My favorite time of year is unabashedly clear.
It is when the faithful celebrate Christmas.
Now on Christmas Day I get up and pray,
in the way that all the faithful are taught.
...

It's an oily Summer.
What a bummer.
Dead birds and dirty waters,
no work for fisherman fathers.
...

The Best Poem Of Thyris Taylor

My Cup Runneth Over

I happen upon her in a place of music, drink
and polite conversation. She has approachable
bright eyes and a lovely posture.

I say to her you are a pretty one bright eyes,
and she says, thank you, aren't you the flatterer,
I call them like I see them I say, I don't lie.

I give her my most winning smile, and insist on
paying for her next drink and ordered the same
for me, white wine, she accepts, a good sign.

I've Never seen you here before, come often? I ask.
First time she says, how about you, I'm a regular
I say, I'll be your personal guide to treasures.

She gives me a sunrise of a smile and says, nice.
Suddenly life is good. You see me, I say,
I see you, she says in a throaty voice.

What do you have in mind she ask, I pause, think.
I want to get to know you and for you to
know me, we are like worlds meeting for the first time.

She gives me this flirty, bright-eyed, stare.
I say, I want to sail along your coastline, walk
your beaches, swim in your ocean waters.

I say, I want to experience your different climates,
stroke your vegetation, and sample your nuts and fruits,
I say, I want to watch your moon rise and set in the evening.

She looks at me with questions in her smile that go unasked.
She shifts her lovely posture in her chair, takes a sip
of her wine, and says, you could do that. My cup runneth over.
