Sometimes the slant of sunlight on the hills …
as here
the new light fingering its way
into a darkened chamber
into sleep
crisp morning licking
at the pillowcases and
the sheets to drive

flame red
twin tulip petals tipped
in scarlet
in that refraction
our kisses multiple and
so inflected that
the sun comes rivening into
our plain souls
suffusing us.

Seahorses court with color changes and synchronized swims, often holding tails and slow dancing for hours. When they’re ready to make the big commitment, they release their hold on the sea grasses that anchor them [...]

We love Bill Keener’s poetry … and he really knows his chocolate. He has a new book out: Gold Leaf on Granite. Sample his work with this:
Taste the Heart of Darkness
In the hall of the mountain chocolatiers,
I saw their creamy magic, stared down at
giant shining paddles dipping in tandem,
churning great vats into a molten brown

We have fallen in love with composer/pianist Tiana’s debut CD, Butterfly in the Snow. It is dreamy, romantic, and passionate and it wraps listeners in a kind of magic. Great on a cold gray day; a spring morning; a sultry summer’s eve; a starry, starry night; alone or with favorite companions—you will find it addicting.
“Often, [...]
