Breathless He Left Me

“Maybe love doesn't come from the heart. Maybe it's a psychic jolt that wakes you when you touch them, leaving you breathless.” Christy Johnson

Butterfly kisses and his breath upon my cheek.
Racing heart of mine. I could not resist as he
Enticed me with his gaze. Words he had no need to speak.
Anticipation peaked when that angel boy kissed me,
Thrilling me like I had not been thrilled before.
Heaven-sent was he, for he melted my heart.
Lavished with affection, I reveled in his ardor. 
Enchantment it seemed he practiced as high art.
Such a surprise it was that he had come my way.
So sweetly did he steal my breath away.

How time has flown since then. I think of how
Elation once whalloped me with a romantic WOW.

Love comes and goes. I’ll never know
Even now what happened to the young man who
Fed my soul with sunshine’s happy glow.
That all remains a bliss I cannot live anew.

Magical is breathlessness. Sadly, that feeling
Ends eventually, but how I long again to be reeling!

Woman You Don'T Get It

Tainted schemes
distorted dreams
things you want
you should let them be
aint got no time for secomd glance
loves like ours
full of second chances
get it right
but don't take this wrong
cause you miss a Good man
when he's gone
You aint the woman
I thought you were
I thought you wanted
cashmere, diamonds and furs
act like a bankhead buster
who jive and juke
you make me sick
I want to puke
leave me alone let me be
call me later
if we agree
I aint tryna be your thang
playing 'round
always changing things
mean ole triffle
foolish ways
if we hold on
we'll see better days
but you like fadding and fooling round
acing silly like some damn clown
suppossa be my Woman
but never arpound
Cause you a low-down cheating trick
who likes playing around
then when I'm serious
you jive and gonne
if I find a Nother
I'm gonna leave you alone
That's how it is
but it aint how it's gonna be
move on Sweetie
take your leave of me

Bucket List

Planting a tree that bears sweet fruits 
Tracing the dawning of my roots 
Writing a book that bears my name 
Beating the odds in my own game 

Roaming around in my own way 
Running 50 kilometers away 
Acing the top in my tough test 
Climbing my mountain to the crest 

Gracing the pages of my poetry 
Singing to tune my own melody 
Making my mark on concrete ground 
With the moon and stars around 

Meeting the stars of tinseltown 
Dancing with Johnny like a clown 
Shaking the hands of sexy Swifty 
Meeting the eyes of gorgeous Alexy

Spreading Happiness

S-uffering in bleak darkness people need light,
P-ace the gloomy path of despair to sunshine.
R-ays of altruistic candle I show them with love,
E-cstasy fervently suffuses their desolate mind.
A-crid betrayal breaks many hearts, and in the
D-ebris I blossom flowers with empathy touch.
I-nfused patina radiates the divine glow of bliss,
N-aturally reflected from my happiness mirror,
G-arnered as a gem in my journey of fulfillment.

H-orizon gleams even after my spent sun sets,
A-rid dunes roll as joyful waves on the sand sea,
P-arched life I saunter along the trail of mirage,	
P-acing to the oasis in the cauldron of rapture.
I-nstilled by verve I take the journey of euphoria,
N-ascent hopes create delightful gems I adore.
E-xaltation sparkling like star in my mind’s sky 
S-aturates my heart while I walk the last mile, 
S-inking in soul I find aura of happiness I spread.

Airborne Extreme

Arriving for my first visit, not knowing what to expect
Instantly awestruck at the plethora of trampolines
Ready to jump feet first into a new adventure.
Bouncing up, down, in, out, to and fro
Over and over again. I spot the soft foam pit, 
Racing towards it, I take a leap of faith
Naturally full of enthusiasm and a youthful 
Energy that knows no bounds at the moment. 

Eagerly looking around the massive building wanting
X-tras like dodgeball, slam dunk, and the high-flying
Trapeze—where I swing through the air and land safely
Right in the middle of the blue and red squares of foam. I 
Enter the battle beams where I was defeated by an older
Male. Nearly two hours later, and all good things must come to an 
End. My first experience at a trampoline park was a success.

(An Acrostic Poem)

**Side note: I wrote this poem from the point of view of my 12 year old son. This was his first experience at a trampoline park called Airborne Extreme. He had a great time and has enjoyed the amusement center a few times since.

Fathers Day

Facing my dad, who stood by mom’s side

Attentively. They were the definition of love.

Took care of us. We’d have dinner at 5:00, imagine!

He left the loving and conversation up to mom

Except for now — it’s amazing the stories he tells.

Relying on his memory, hoping for his

Soul to find love and peace in God.

Dad with unrelenting tears, now knows how much

All his kids love him. Just like him, we’re not going anywhere.

You can bet we’ll surround him on his bittersweet day.

A TRIBUTE TO FATHERS
Sponsor : L Milton Hankins

Beau Ideal

Nectared graces overwhelming must 
Underline your pulse-halting charms;
Utopian opal spelt by honeyed terms,
Resistless pearl cased in mortal dust. 

Fair-miened nymphs kings did melt;
But such sly vixens, like old Phoenix
Acing artful Death's ambrosial tricks,
Would find your rig a conundrum yet. 

Dead fancy's fairy in gowns of wool,
Would vote this trim flawless figure
Finer than fiction's gildings meager;
Nature’s art unsullied by apish tool. 

Nor would pageant-lauded beauties,
Though posh their foppish styles be;
With roses laureled in limitless glee,
Dim this time's own queen of cuties. 

Where lurks this sure paragon high,
Beauty-capped acme of poets' tales;
Yet glamorous and unbeaten in vales
Of breath and death where jewels lie?

Summer Dance

S-tars whirling through midnight black skies, whitely,
U-rged on by the Milky Way, twinkling quite brightly.
M-adcap moon in a romance dance over sapphire earth,
M-eaningful though mild, in the precincts of her birth!
E-arly morning lemon clouds sweep by tall mountaintops,
R-acing the redbirds, as emerald toads do froggy hops.
D-aily masquerade ball of a red sun's splash and dash,
A-nd the mysterious wind, giving vivid blooms whiplash!
N-ebulous green waves, undulate seductively into foam,
C-ameo appearances of butterflies, in acutely green homes.
E-ach noon intensely golden, each tango new, though olden!

The Secret Garden

L-et the golden silence reign absolute;
U-nwelcome is noise in the house of thought.
S-o much to explore in the universe of mind,
H-ued richly with precious gems of every kind!
L-ight enters inside, so glintingly beautiful,
I-nk takes on new images and shapes, blackly.
B-ees breeze by August, seeking their honey,
R-abbits hop high grass, down in the country.
A-bove, the milky stars compel us to wonder,
R-acing toward scintillating, blazing infinity.
Y-esterday's avenues of blooms live there also!

Happiness Satiating

Hazy horizon blazes even after the spent sun setS
Arid dunes undulate as static waves on the sand seA
Parched life trailing toiled the mirage, needs to waiT
Pacing weary to the oasis etched at the edge of ennuI
Instilled by psychic vibe the journey ends in euphoriA
Nascent hopes on bliss waves roll gems on time presenT
Exaltation drips like stardust from mind sky, sense a priorI
Suffuses my heart while I walk the last mile of satiatioN
Sinking within I hear the song of ecstasy, soul starts to sinG.

G rateful a constant state of mind
A rt aficionado to the core
U nconventional and proud of it
T echnologically challenged tenderfoot
H appy hibernating in cozy hideouts
I nfatuated with the infinite and all that’s zen
E nergetic when it comes to writing poetry
R acing to the finish line to leave a legacy

Skating For Gold

Acing awesome atomic axel jumps
Baffling backflips and butterfly jumps
Completing camel spins and cross strokes
Dance jumps, dance lifts and death spirals
Eclipsing extensions and edge jumping
Fearless heights for fan spirals and flying spins 
Gracefully gliding across galactic ice
High-handed hydroblading holiday headliners
Icebreaking intensity involving idealistic idols
Jagged jump jabbing combos and sequences
Kicking back killer knockout maneuvers
Landing leg wraps and laudable lasso lifts
Music momentum for mirror skating moves 
Negotiating nifty new nimble numbers
Orchestrating an opening outrageous act
Performing in front of passionate patrons
Quantum quality quadruple jumps
Rehearsed till radically racy and riveting
Striving for split jumps and split twists spread eagle
Traveling toe step and throw loop and triple flips
Winter gymnastics on ice eagerly awaited year to year

Rainbows

A rainbow stops us in our tracts.
I n awe we pause to ponder on
N ature's beautiful bounty.
B estowing again childlike wonder
O n bustling distracted adults.
W e absorb the colours into our
S ouls and proceed renewed.
