Poetry

Ron Koppelberger

Smiles and Ecstasy

Tantalized by the tender expressions born unto beauty

And poise, innate, ascending the court of designed

Passion, in relish and desires of fire, sweet, sated, allayed in

Quiet consent and whispering touch, a forward bond in acceptance,

In contrite tears of warmth, a suffering gallery of wanton allure,

By the divinity of smiles and ecstasy, by azure skies

In evolving revolutions of romance.

The Thrall of Youth

An ambrosial season of wheat

In the course of scarlet alliance and seized shores

Of grain, a tender field of furrowed welcome

Defined by the rare wellspring rush

Of wild beasts and tame entrance to magical calm

And solstice, a serene quiet in the wills of balance

And the attested thrall of youth.

Ron Koppelberger

Visions of Eden

Devoted blessings and wonder, a fashion in fast wills of reason

And wont, in tender berths of unexplored

Treasure, the journey in muse and

Vaunt, the rusty fancy of whimsy

And row, of aggregate demand and satisfactions

In evening-tide indigo, in lay and assuming

Terms of amazing bliss,

A circle of light defined in

Visions of

                                                                               Eden.

Carnivals in Rust

Unshaken by the wheels of revolving metal and quaky rainbow

Light, a thrill in thrall and a scream of joyous

Event, by popcorn scents and greasy gears

In shifting conspiracy with the clang and clamor

Of childhood dreams, of clowns in Vaseline and paint, by the

Light of crescent moons and sodium lamps, by sooth and

The wonders of drama, the realm of carnies and

Ponies in galloping dusty row, by cotton candy cheeks

And carnivals in rust.

Ron Koppelberger

Autumn Sunshine

Reveries in cold autumn sunshine,

The inhalation of misty perfumes in formed

Shameless experience and sedate bond with

The desires of winter and the promise of a summer

Divine, a timely distress delayed by the seconds

Before need, by the spaces defined in fresh wont,

A gasp, suspiring azure by chilled wines and sweet

Confections in fall pleasure and simple

Revolution.

Ron Koppelberger

Upcountry Yearning

Tangles fanciful and stages kept in approval, the symmetry in

Gatherings of measure and sated masquerade,

The gloss given unto the dream and the fervid welcome of freedom,

A misty issue in mercies raging the applause of rare

Ambition and journeys in delicate faith, a sudden reception

Borne by the passion of performing charm and frenzied wild rule,

The upcountry yearning for praise and lauded honors

In soft shores of belonging.
