Relaxing, Sitting in my rocking chair-
my big Umbrella shading wind and sun,
beside this Mirrored lake without a care
for Me means summer joy has now begun.
As ducklings Ease their path below the tree,
the wind chimes Ring a chant which settles me.
I close my eyes to feel The peaceful bliss-
while frigid chills of winter, I dismiss.
For Me, this season of the year is prime;
so thankful for Earth's days of Summertime.
Perfumed petals help
ease fragile minds from tension,
as calmness blossoms.
Cut flowers die premature.
Erupting roars of anguish.
Speak to me, please, only of glad tidings;
Plant in my heart seeds of happy endings.
Receive me with open arms enfolding
Every piece of me take notwithstanding
All my flaws and our misunderstandings.
Desire not that I may lose my footing
In this world that is constantly shifting;
Not for selfishness am I entreating--
Give me joy that I may joy start giving.
How can I to others happiness spread
After all that I once loved are now dead?
Pray, tell me, in spite of evil widespread
Put happy thoughts in my mind and my head?
Inspire me, thus, to see beautiful things;
Nay, more than that, come be my help and wings.
Ease my pain, awaken my heartstrings
So that I, too, can deliver blessings,
Spreading pure happiness to all dwellings.

Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Ou pa ka fè anyen mal
Ou ka chame li ak yon ti chanson
Nan men ou, li pa bezwen anpil.
Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Mond lan sanble li trè bèl
Tout bagay anfò, an pinpan
Lè yon fanm adore ou.
Se tout ane a ki printan
Ti zwazo yo ap repoze e yap chante
Timoun yo ap jwe e yap ri
Gen anpil bonè ak kè kontan.
Lè ou voye flè pou li
Lè ou bay li bèl bijou
Li bo ou tankou yon ti bebe
E li ba ou akolad pou tout yon ane.
Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Ou santi ou ekstrèmman byen
Kay la gen anpil, yon dividal manje
Paske li bay ase pou vant ou plin.
Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Syèl la klere epi li ble
Lanmè a manyifik e trè klè
Lè yon fanm renmen ou.
Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Solèy la cho e li pike
Nwaj yo ap vwayaje
Lè yon fanm adore ou.

This is a translation of the poem When A Woman Loves You by Hebert Logerie
Fall is the most beautiful time of the year for me, with its blushing
Apples and fruitful trees dressed in zesty rubious healthy leaves with
Luminous fruit hanging off its stems, like galas, granny smiths, and fuji
Leaves of multi colored sunburnt shades of yellow, gold and brown
Inside the orchard, ladders, bushels, straw hats and farmer pant- grins
No better place to be then underneath an Autumn tree when every
Golden leaf shimmer-shimmies before swiveling down at your feet
Leaves that dance and shuffle-shake before landing in your hands
Earthing to the ground covering you with giant leafy dry crispy limbs
Arrest the night, stop the moon, hold the stars, its time to listen to the
Voices of the night, the falling leaves have their sorrowful story to tell
Ease into their season with a quiet soul. Help them say goodbye to the
Summer. After all it is the season of Autumn, a time for falling leaves.

Who like to fix his car
On this snowy day
the man would say
Oh! How I miss AAA™

Olodumare crowned you,
Like the daring obas of old,
Undaunted and unshakable,
With hearts sculpted out of gold,
Ase and oro were their best friends,
Dangerous yet mellow,
Empathetic and in-depth analysts,
Meekfaced like the proverbial lamb,
In all they were the brave ones,
Laying aside their troubles and ills,
Alase ekeji orisa they were called,
Due to their daring feats,
Eki Oba Alase.
Loitering
isn't idyllic imaginations
facilitating fastidious, fertile fellowship flings
evolving evidentiary elusive elucidations
safely securing surreal sterile sways.
Mysteries mismanaging mundane miracles
yield yes, you, your youthful yesterdays
slip, stir, select sagacious serendipitious sphericals
titillating time's turbulent today-tomorrow titrations
eagerly evoking efficacious emancipated equai euphonies
resurrected, reinvigorated remedial rhetoric rectifications
illuminating impartial improvised immunities,
ease earnestly, empathetic eloquent ejections
sanctifying succinct, suspended sanitifications.
A word take on Presidential ins and outs, the why and how of Life's Mysteries
in the mind of unnamed parties.

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Heart tells me to
Ease when I am
Anxious and
Relaxes me
Tactically through soothing rhythms
Triggers hormones
Relatively with the assistance of brain
Understands my plight
Tempts me to dance and
Hushes my emotions..!!
My heart knocks fervently
So that I would open the hutch
and let it flutter free..
Enticing me often to go
for a waltz with my partner,
swaying in his arms hours together;
Pounding thumps compose music and
convinces me to perform salsa & duet .
The erogenous zones creates goosebumps
and tickles the sensual nerves;
Tantalizes belly for a boogie woogie,
And my foot taps the tiles below continually
yearning for a jazz ,
as lyrical swing guides our delicate body
with fluid movements
expelling rhythmic joy.....!!!

Sitting on this outdoor rocking chair
Umbrella overhead- and shading me
Mirrored in the lake, the verdant hill
Means summer opened up with ultra
Ease! As ducklings paddle circumflex
Rippling sounds of water bring siesta
Time, as chimes sway to softly chant
In sheer peaceful bliss, eyes closed,I
Muse the cold of winter- months ago
Enjoying now my gift of summer sun
