Leo’s brush conveyed more light than verse
Beholding beauty's movement in the soul
Ahhh... but adding melody provides the turn
That living on the page a word can't know
Ephemeral, this flight of fancy, sure
Which airy essence flies past thought alone
That flight soars brighter than is ours to grasp
It shadows us in shades of reverie
These heights of sensuality can't last
But lest we think that they weren’t meant to be
Though Icarus would soar and also fall
Daedelus would soar and still fly free
If blest for just a moment with his eye
I’m sure that I could paint an aire complete
That brush’d upon the palate of your ear
Yields color that your mind would savor sweet
The air beneath the wing I hold so dear
Has echoed but the voice of nascency

I've tasted the virgin, wind;
The air was sweet as sin;
Pure white as sugar cane;
Relish as heathen rain;
My arms are wrapped around;
Been lost, now found was down now up;
When it's all said and done;
I smell of heaven
Soul fresh the air
Blessed wind aire

The cooings of a snow-white dove
Beseech the wind to bring us love
But pandemics apart
Don't you dare touch my heart
Unless you wear a rubber glove!

When mum tells you to eat your beans
You know exactly what she means
That foul belly air
Needs to go somewhere
And better not be in your jeans!

Mist the heated air
Spread adrift the clouds up high
Swirling clouds cross casting shadows over grounds
Closing variable of scenic vibes
Questioning the humidity
Wavering atmospheric breathes of freshness
Dews in the grass lightly watered
Fourteen-inch mist above the waters
Ponds, Lakes and streams in front of me, mist the heated air

Friends said their marriage would not last
Now fifty-years have slowly passed
Hand-in-hand
Gland-in-gland
The two of them have had a blast!

I LOVE YOU AND THE AIRE YOU BREATHE
will you love me so
because I'm deeply in love
with you oh, so much
I wish I'd touch the--
very air you breath inhale
I'll embrace exhale

Destellos son tus ojos bellos
cuando la noche pasa
y la luna llena me abriga
En mi soledad cansada
mis sueños se durmieron
y los tuyos opaque por un largo tiempo
pero no eterno ...
Paciencia y perseverancia
son todo lo que tengo
durante estos tiempos ajenos
El futuro ilumina
el presente complicado
aire fresco entrara a nuestras ventanas
y bailaremos sonriendo ...

The way stretches forward, the infinity path
Every shape well defined, by the certainty of math
Great ferns surround, curved in huge Fibonacci arcs
While trees, gods of forest, are discontinuities in bark
The air is still and it's gentle touch oddly cool
And a visiting writer would lie about a pool
And a nymph. Or a vast Aire kingdom on high:
Beauty's present as the trees, though concealed from the sky
I followed her here, for where else would she dwell
Not hidden away in some black and white cell
The most perfect line, shaping me and my soul
Once my love now my breath, my quest takes a great toll
This cool jungle is our home as I try to define her:
I'm a textbook on the harm of obsession's spur.
