Lady Wonder
No, I ain’t wrote.
I’ve been caught up
In the greatest things they say
Life has to offer.
But, in the midst
Of all my success,
I find myself feeling
Oddly like a pauper.
And in my darkest
Days and hours,
I get to thinking of the time
We spent together.
Your whispers
Never failed
To set my brushes
Hissing all across
The canvases of summer.
It’s strange of me
To come back

Old Man's Face
Why do you stare in amazement?
Look closely-really look
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
The sad legacy of an old man--you say?
Are those tears of sadness?
Come closer-really come
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
The falling of a once-stately oak--you say?
Can you peer with reflection?
See clearly-really see
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
Road maps

The Amazement
Perspectives..!!
One of them
Needs separation
To gain the distance
Of observation..
The other
Isn't a perspective
Because there isn't
A distance or one
To observe..yet
The isn't perceives
That's the amazement..!!

The Amazement of Wonder
Flashing and flickering lights on a large Ferris wheel
Ornately painted horses on an old circus carousel
Brightly colored balloons set free
Branches gracefully swaying on a willow tree
Children happily playing at a park
Glowing yellow dots from the fireflies in the dark
Kisses from a fuzzy puppy on my face
Shooting stars flying through space
The amazement of wonder shall

I Belong to Beautiful
A glistening sun-baked day
Blue sky reverberates into deeper blue
Light shimmers in pixels
A yellow butterfly flutters against the petals of a flower,
Like a piece of paper caught in a breeze,
It lilts and lolls and lifts lazily
A dog shifts on the cool concrete floor
Stretches legs and rolls over murmuring
On the edge of the shady bird bath,

Assume the sighs and chills:

The Geese
Blue-black, purple sky recedes
As dawn peeks out her curtain;
Eyelids kissed by rising sun,
of egg shell white, I'm certain.
I say goodnight to night.
With asphalt tapping under foot
The morning moves another chance
For me to enter into dance with God.
I thought I was alone this morning,
Running in a stillness.
Lost, with cost
Of only

Flipping Amazement In An Unexpected Direction
never thought i would find love again
never thought i would meet you
you are a handful, but so am i
total opposites, but we mesh in an alternative way, if you will
never thought i would kiss soft lips again
never came close to thinking that i would kiss you
oooh, the arguments that we would have
neither one of us

Unite To See Amazement Height
What we should do is to try and unite,
So we can see each amazement height;
Were sure;
Could endure,
Performance that appeared in each site.

Window X
The pot calling the kettle black
Is like a sock in the shoe rack
The black cat crossing the road
X the window lest something explode
Ain't life grand with all its fables
Knocking on wood sitting at the table
Don't step on the sidewalk crack
Lest you break granny's back
So much fun when you was a child
Watching the adults really go

Amazement
The rains came today
washing down an acrid mist
hours upon hours of descension
as if sun would had never exist
barren, he laid half naked
under guise of her watchful eyes
in amazement he stared at her attention
climbing high atop his throbbing soul
engorged by the surge of her beauty
and her desire

An Amazement
C-rimson sun is shining
H-igh up in the sky;
A-fter the purple moon sleeps
N-ew day dawns as the night goes by.
G-ray clouds have drifted
I-nto the shadows of the dusk;
E-vening haze has removed its big blurred black mask.
E-legant view has unfolded in the early beautiful morn;
A-nother lady is remembered on the day that she was

Innocence of Fireworks
Adult days keep rolling faster.
We attribute this to aging,
but it’s routine, firm as plaster,
that induces each years fading.
Adult responsibility
eliminates most mystery.
We don’t absorb what happens next
when we’ve memorized each day’s text.
But, there is the joy of fireworks,
those spontaneous dreamworks,
where our free inner child still lurks
and adult brains forego their works.
We find awe, glee and excitement
are

My Amazement
Beauteous strength so majestic with truth,
Enabling rock stating truth as mineral,
Acting retarded to ignite my speech,
Unleashing modernity in that ancient screech,
Teaching me that I can have my youth,
Endeared to me, havering away it seems to be tickled,
Out with distrust and without problem of cholesterol,
Unmoved when I keep everything inside for
