Best Alexandrine Poems
Decades of mystic dreamers have worn the path
trod across the leys, coupling pairs within Stonehenge.
Beneath the Wiltshire skies cornflower blue; they lust,
lotus-eaters, loose-limbed, seeking a blessed outcome.
With longing strides-- they reach, climbing earthen berms
to add their lovers song to move with the cycles.
Some take the blessed day, others wait the pearly moon.
See her so fairy fair dressed in naught but moonlight?
Watch his black-haired beast rise once encircled by her arms.
Back pressed against the dolmens, her heels wreath his waist
as virgin blood runs red like the holly berries
to feed the holy earth, she'll bear his child; she trusts.
Beautiful angel a soul's destination flies
High above on gossamer wings delicately
Circling between heaven and earth as soul keepers
Eclipsing the light seraph twitches softly gaze
Touching inside one bond never to be broken
An angelic message shown to the earth dwellers
A celestial sphere nacreous spirit falling
Grace kissing ataraxia sweetly embraces
Deep spiraling sentiments shape mosaics of minds
Kneeling at your feet royal mother of pearl clouds
Standing right before the eyes undying spirit
Pure shafts of wondrous gold has lit the earth tonight.
Gracious beauty floats upon a breathless air wave
Delicately enchants your sweet rendering praise
Bright faces all rise up to such mesmeric glare
Heaven sparkle in the glistening shining eyes
Love's fire burns inside reflection that smiles warm
And all mankind with open arms can only stare.
Guardian of this cosmos beyond dreams sails east
we become a single structure bound together
In cosmogyral dance around a starry floor
In space filled words evaporating straight out sighs
The mind blissfully colliding sparks kisses dust
Gazing through an endless flickering mass of light
Sprinkles on two stars cluster in magic wishes
Granting on the trail ethereal red glitters
Heavenly energy shines down to save all souls
Diamond blue gem sends cosmic shock waves twinkling
Brightly flickering blinding light upon one star
Poured on our world to save us from evil darkness
Orbiting around this earth glows raising upwards
Filled with divine energy rotating halo
Beams fly in sunshine beauty embraces angel
A Collaborated Poem with Liam McDaid, Michael McCabe and Angeline Lim
alexandrine unrhymed Tercets
When dawn’s bright light reveals your dreams with endless scope,
Embrace each day with courage, let your heart find hope.
The path ahead may test you, challenge all your might,
But stand with strength and honor, let your spirit light.
In times of doubt and sorrow, when your strength seems slight,
Remember deep within you burns a steady light.
Each trial that you weather will shape who you become,
And through each struggle faced, your destiny will hum.
Don’t shy from paths untraveled where the wild winds roar,
For risks and daring ventures open every door.
Though twists and turns may come and obstacles arise,
With each brave step you take, you’ll touch the boundless skies.
Hold dear the ones who guide you with their love so true,
Their laughter and their warmth will help you see it through.
Value every bond you make, let your heart stay kind,
For in their constant care, a light you’ll always find.
Treat yourself with kindness when you stumble or fall,
Perfection’s not the measure; it's the effort that stands tall.
Forgive your own mistakes and cherish every try,
For through your gentle heart, your dreams will never die.
Life’s not a frantic race but a journey to embrace,
So move at your own pace and find your sacred place.
Every moment’s precious, each step a chance to grow,
And in this grand adventure, your true self will show.
As you look towards the future and the days unknown,
Know that every step you take will help you find your own.
Face the road before you with hope and endless grace,
For you’re stronger and more resilient than you may embrace.
He's a cyclone chaser, cloaked in neon tracer
that mirrors stars dying, heartless witches flying
I see pretty flowers
in gardens and bowers
Vivid gold daffodils
line the banks of deep rills
Fledgling chicks spread their wings
listen as songbirds sings
Little lambs play in fields
I love all that spring yields

Dressed as the hell keeper, trick upon the sleeper,
as stars fade and shiver, dazed skies roar and quiver.
The tangled torrid scenes of twisted pregnant fiends
among the muted yells where guilty conscience dwells...
What if there were purples, and blues, and greens?
What if your daughter loved a pink, though she a tangerine?
What colors are more capable of awe and inspiration?
What greatness does life hold without exaggeration?
What courage can be shown without mixing up some colors?
What knowledge can we bestow without first understanding others?
Rose petals blossoming out from the heart softly silk
starbursts brightly sitting a regal flower kissed
By loving sunshine sweet glowing beauty dances
your delicate curling petals so beautiful
Like a butterfly's wings fluttering eyelids mist
engaged upon a glance sweet fragrance whispered dew
Embalmed by the perfume of such treasure found gift
it is here that an arrow of gold strikes home dear
sweet velvet corolla crumples fragile breathless
I'm not an expert at anything, but an optimist at many.
A carpenter I am not, but I can still bang a nail.
My artist's hands are not skilled
but my paint still flows to the palette and my brush still strokes a canvas.
Parenthood will forever confuse and astound me,
but I never give up and never give in.
My typing skills are lacking but I continue to write,
a pencil and paper will do me just fine.
I may not be famous or gorgeous or genius
but I have my wits and they’ll do me just fine.
Delights of Love
Secrets of the garden are unexpressed delights,
lovers share in sweetness that’s near to paradise.
To see your love's visage, pleasing joy of the eyes,
the cherished persona of your true treasured prize,
and have a joy of heart, where fondness truly lies.
The melody of love is the voice of a kiss,
that follows with a sigh and is eternal bliss.
Reach inside the rapture to let your spirit free
as wonderment captures the moments yet to see.
Touching your love's person, exchanging energy
Blending pastel auras in beloved synergy
Moving to dimensions that are greater in degree
Secrets of the garden are there for hearts to find.
Come into the essence and leave the world behind.

I long to be with you, to walk along the sand.
As the sunset shimmers, pink and orange and warm,
It dances with the waves, as I wish to dance too.
My feet in the hot sand, my hair wet with sea mist.
But I am not from there, and you do not know me.
I swim in sunken ships, you jog along the bay.
I am friends with the fish, you float above my land.
A different kingdom, one you will never see.
I see yours from afar, but I hide from plain sight.
That bit of red you see, sometimes hiding in waves,
The fireball red streak, misplaced in the deep blue,
Yes that is me my love, me the mermaid of dreams.
My lips ever so soft, my touch ever so kind.
Do you want this body, it is so unlike yours.
Scales and fish tails, fins and gills abundant.
But I do have a heart, I do know how to love.
Querido corazón, come in the water's fine.
Take my hand I'll show you, the wonders of my land.
My breasts and my belly, my arms my beating heart,
I bleed just like you do, would you like to witness it?
I will always love you, if you do not love me.
If you do not see me, hope to envision me,
I will appear in you, I will be in your dreams.
Hold on to me darling, together forever.
The gentle rain that falls
and trickles down the walls
of gardens in the park
and wakes the Meadow Lark,
refreshes crocus blooms
as all of life exhumes.
What joy the season brings
with coming of the Spring.

i was alone inside my skin
until I met you, then again
You always were with me
We walked across the light
tripping along the stones
called life that we all know
Caught your smile in the shade
Of a bright and full moon
You called me out I went in
Hours into days we said
Lightening walks along
Thunder talks our song
i couldn't begin to express
so caught up in all your soul
It washes away all these sins
Life has a beginning so sweet
laced with the lips i taste
So i kiss you again and again
Hours into days we said
each moment we won't waste
Heartbeats singing along the way...

Natural:
The moon is an artist, she sees what ebbs and flows beneath silver-kissed seas.
And in sweet seclusion, she sprinkles cosmic dust upon our warm haven, while locked in pale stillness. And I've heard sapphire rays,
synchronize melodies in unwritten cadence.
But there’s never a song complete, without blushing rare petals of timeless love glazed in lunar flares. So, this I weave in sage blue sparkles, drowning in glowing beams raining from her rose gold halo wings. Will these inked words ever be enough to express how
I am addicted to comets swirling within your cinnamon eyes, amidst the veiled grey skies of
fogs between our stars, heat of the crying crescent never dimmed the light within my hyacinth heart, that’s slowly rising in sync, rhyming within spheres, lost in white topaz
tunes and rhythms, forevermore.
