I Touch The Sun
I touch the sun and have some fun,
Leaping and bouncing and splashing,
Looking up when the day is done,

SUNSET ON A MOUNTAIN TOP
We think we have the best of both worlds…
we get to watch the sun set over the ocean…
watch as into the water it slowly drops…
And we also get to watch it set…into the horizon
from on a mountain top.
There are many things we love about sunsets…
A few of them I’ll name…
One is how in a lifetime...

MuseShe is a flawed woman
and her flaws aren't even
poetic.
She's just you and me,
a woman who mistakes face for truth,
and wears affection like yesterday's shirt.
Lost, confused, occasionally lying—
That's all she is: human.
A human who fears loneliness, so she
invites harm just to be seen.
A human who can't stand her shallowness
but when she thinks, discomfort...

How Innocent Are The WordsHow innocent are the words
from the mouths of cute teens,
it's raw poetry dedicated to lovers
in any season that inflames ardent desire!
Can that burning flame endure the longest time
and become brighter and hotter than a crackling fire?
Nothing seems strange about being sentimental,
it's the age of tender romance, somehow delusional;
touching should be spontaneous, not considered sinful:
we all...

Sunset to NightmaresA bottle of gin for every sin
within lair of an evil twin
The likes of a flying kite,
away from gloom of this room.
September's never a rest
but eyes up another glass cup.
A bird's breasts trembling detests
the coldness of a night's icy test,
a tune meant for her is a noise blur
lost in the tavern and I can't have...

Ways Of Not Arriving
My mind drifts loose
into the moving art framed by train window.
Houses in the field glitch by—
brick red roofs and windows
that hold sunset across the champaign.
I wonder what it’s like to live
in that world, where you
wake and rest with the sun.
My gaze drifts to clouds
light as swan feathers.
Their dance—effortless, unrepentant
as the sunset dyes...

Time for ChampagneLike the course of bubbling rivers
Meander to the ocean's breast,
Never has my journey faltered,
Obsessed with where the sunset rests~
Perfection plunges to the sea...

Memory Revisitingblack cherry dusk skies
and moon rose, it was silver
butterfly quivers
the gemmed stars were out
and Mom tending blooms, singing
clematis clinging
jade dragonfly lake
comes again in memory
with anemones
Dad had just come home
one yesterday of my life
when roses were rife...

Sunset times
You whispered in my ears
Best days we had together
I realised
It’s sunset time!
All along it’s black and white
In between, spread of colour
I realised it’s sunset time
Life!
One part of the story is over
As always, mine is never ending one!
I realised , it’s sunset time!...

Beachfront propertymesmerized by nature’s pendulum
the rhythmic motion of the tides
I listen to the splash of waves
unfurl against the seashore
the ever undulating flow of waves
the hypnotizing sway of water
it’s the perfect appetizer before
enjoying every sunset as it falls
