Esteem for you
And even

Ravaged and forgotten, I await my fate in this junkyard,
Under the fierce sun and pouring rain and snow . . . but,
Still within this rusted frame beats a soul and memories, and
There was a time when I was truly loved-
Every person admired my style and...

A place in the middle of nowhere, I wish to be in, where I could still
Breathe the blissful pure fresh air of the bucolic, where I
Could hear the hum of silence harmonious to my mind’s rhythm, where
Dew drops of serenity sparkle in a peasant’s land...

Forever in my heart, in my dreams in my thoughts
A carving in my soul, will never be forgot,
Tenderness of heart hidden beneath austere look,
How very much you loved me, how much pride you took,
Example ever of goodness and honesty,
Resplendent in wisdom, humour in brevity!

R-ise of the beacon begins, 
O-n twentieth December;

D-arkness fades
A-way.

C-old chill has vanished, 
E-ven haze and...

Majestic wings flutter in the air
over sweet blossoms that waft perfume.
Nodding heads affirm there’s nectar there
as a proboscis probes each new bloom. 
Rays of golden sun paint velvet wings
clad in exquisite prisms of light
harboring beauty reserved for kings.

Bronze pastels are fringed with spots of white

Rivulets of water
run down my windows. I
rush outside so I can
rescue my washing. Its
ruined! I’m extremely
riled as they had forecast
rays of bright warm sunshine

Gleaming in the sun, my cherry-red skin 
Low, throaty purring, ready engine’s sound
Over the chalked line, tires screech, we begin
Road blurs, turquoise Mustang fades, I am crowned 
Yesteryear still lives in my heart, tearing

Days of rusted glory are never drowned 
Ages since I’ve seen the...

Friendship

F orget-me-nots start blooming in the vales
R oses, yellow,  grow  to withstand small gales
I dyllic is the  feel that it births in friends
E ncouragement and joy should be its ends
N ights turn serenely cool with friendship thoughts
D ays too  should become...

Windy today so hold on to your hair.
Easter is on it's way with snow in the air.
Air filled with pollen so hide for a few hours.
Thunderstorms will bring May flowers.
Hail for tonight so bundle up tight.
Everyday the weather will change to our delight.
Rays of hot...

My Life as a Car

Rusted and busted see my orange face
Used to grace the showroom place
See these broken eyelights that shone so bright
They saved your life one darkened night
Edsel body, wet shell to forget
Dear little voices asked “Are we there yet?”
And still my memories are...

You are the light bearer
And I am the light seeker
Your radiant thoughts flourish and fall
As shower of blessings on us all
Tides of love created by you
Immerse all – make our lives anew
Man is mortal, but your words are not
Amber hearts will always cherish your thought’
Days...
