that fate of a beating drum inside
my chest. A beautiful nature of
round Moon and square Sun sings
as you. Love is that deepest root
of a breathing sky of life/how higher
is glorious wonderous that I carry
this heart.\ I could ponder my poems
professor/ These sharp teeth and carve
eyes as a cat of nine times to die.
How many have tried. Gentlewoman

R hythmic waves rose bending, beating
O ut of my heart into my soul breathing once again,
M elting beneath the silk heavens hued in cherry blossoms.
A nother night to drown in your moonlight blue eyes,
N uzzle into your neck then savor your lips once again,
T angle my fingers through your silky chestnut hair.
I don't ever want this night to end
C aught in the lace work of your love.

As I think of another
Laugh often I say
Always drives worries away
Unhappy why stay?
Gracious god gives everyday
Heaps of happiness our way!

Black but brilliant, because this BOWL is like the biggest Colander
And through each INDIVIDUAL aperture, the light expresses itself
LORD forbid that any aperture in said Colander will dare compare, -
Laugh in derision at other holes. We are ONE, but in different PLACES
D-awn begins to break,
E-vening shadows end;
L-ight carried by the beacon
I-s starting to
A-scend.
E-arly seventh January
C-reates a lovely Saturday;
L-et the chill on Friday fade,
A-llow the rain to go away.
R-ising sun in the morning
I-s truly good enough;
N-o more mist, fog, and haze,
A-s you smile and
L-augh.

L-augh to see a pudding crawl,
A-s you are easily amused;
L-et your both eyes glow,
A-fter seeing the views.
M-orning sunrise above
I-s truly entertaining;
R-ays that start to ascend
A-re warm and amazing.
N-ew dawn has broken,
D-o smile while you're standing tall;
O-n the twenty-seventh of July, laugh to see a pudding crawl.
V-ery nice exciting jubilation
I-s brought to your heart;
L-oneliness of the moment
S-hall disappear and depart.
O-ne nice exciting jubilation causes a thousand thrill;
N-ew dawn has broken to warm the coldest chill.
V-ile weather that threatens
I-s beginning to fade away;
D-ark clouds shall pass by,
A-ugust twenty-sixth day.
L-et the morn make you smile,
L-augh and enjoy the occasion;
O-pen your life to the light,
N-ice exciting jubilation.
J-ust let the dawn shine,
O-pen the day with fun;
E-rase the lonely evening,
L-augh as the light has begun.
C-rimson sun starts to rise,
U-sing the moment you were born;
S-econd month of the year,
T-he fourteenth break of morn.
O-ne occasion so special,
D-elight is purely felt;
I-mportant event now kicks
O-ff with ice starting to melt.

(S)hine from within, looking at insights
(E)ver so deep with ease
(L)et your soul dance and swivel
(F)ind the truth and belief
(A)ct with strength of the Sierra
(C)onquer with logic
(T)ry to learn from mistakes that
(U)ndermind positive changes in you
(A)gony comes with negativity, so find stamina
(L)augh at anything you can loudly at will.
(I)t is a healing refreshing release, like reiki
(Z)ap yourself with reality, just like a whiz
(A)pproach things with an open mind at sea
(T)hink about others feelings in all that
(I)s done, as innocent have no need for alibi
(O)nly the stubborn will choose not to do
(N)ever let go of your purpose within
Flickering like candles in the slightest breeze,
Raw with emotion, they are seen so easily worn on sleeves.
Asunder they may break, so
Gentle you must be! Gossamer
Is the flimsy sweater of protection that they wear.
Laugh or look too hard at them, and you are liable to
Embarrass or perhaps even to embitter them.
Heed my advice:
Exercise restraint. Their souls
Already are exposed and must be assuaged.
Refrain from ridiculing them, for
They already suffer from self-consciousness.
Sweeten your words instead. Strengthen and support fragile hearts.

Another morning filled with sun
Beckons the mind to open where,
Clearing the cobwebs has begun,
Dreaming so many words to share.
Enjoy my tea and my muffins
For this is when I’m most at peace
Grab pen and paper, fun begins
Hoping a new poem will release.
Imbedded in my mind are words,
Just wish I could remember some!
Knocking around, but never heard
Laugh it off, someday they will come.
Many thoughts appear thru the night
Never found with the morning light!
L anguishing in this sad torturing state
O nly my mind to rip me into shreds.
V acant of hope, she warned it was too late
E very day since my thoughts are in deep reds.
I nflicting the misery my heart needs,
S he left me with only this one sad choice.
T o cut my torn heart until out it bleeds,
O ver the sound of my lost wailing voice.
O pen your merciful heart my sweet friend,
B e my angel, return life back to me!
L augh and dance, do it all over again
I n that new paradise, we have that key.
N othing to lose and everything to gain,
D eliver my relief from this great pain.
