his are whimpers of breath, 
lullabies drumming from a rising chest,
his is a soft pat on the head,
a wave of tenderness, trough to crest.

sensing a nape's outline with touch,
her left hand spider walking,
closing on a leg with a silky clutch.

Basking in Moonshine, Translation of Paul Verlaine’s Claire de lune

Basking in moonlight, just you and I.
All around us is only the sea.
On a bed of pearl white sand we lie
basking in moonlight, just you and I
watching clouds drift in a sapphire sky.
Balmy breezes, sweet tranquility!
Basking in moonlight, just you and I;
all around us is...

I’m most in need of a pure dentition
to make each of my flow stay correct
I fall to her hype of perfection
on each of her ten Nays, I resurrect
the ship sail gets bad on navigation
my mast so shy and not for once erect
one hit and more...

Basking On White Sands

white sandy beach opened her arms to me
I ran to her shores lapping the blue seas
sun, water and wind blend
her triple treats a godsend
sets of big waves came, and white sands glee

BASKING IN LIGHT

I have no clue
Why you feeling blur

Forget about any overdue
Rather quest for various hues

Outside there's MR. Sunlight
Filling the sky with its bright

Men and women on sight
Wonderful in broad daylight

Come feel the humid hush of breeze
Don't worry it will not make you freeze

Nor will...

I'm camped on the shoreline in a very thick bog area,
surrounded by sounds of crickets, frogs and other voices of nature.
A turtle basks just above the water's surface.
For hours I relax and peacefully view it,
but alas, this is all in my imagination.
The turtle has been...

Serious intent to read
latest issue of TIME magazine
found attention pleasantly distracted,
when I became keenly aware
of flora and fauna bursting,

blooming, buzzing, and twittering
oblivious to yours truly sitting stock still
in folding lawn chair
marveling at each budding
natural born architect and engineer

each respective constituent
living organism engrossed
delicate as deft potters...

there are no limits to where i can go
when i'm walking on the sand
peace and contentment are a close stones throw
and they perfectly go hand in hand
in the ocean breeze I can fully breathe
and I know just where to start
the rhythm of the waves set...

I lie here basking
in late summer’s dwindling rays
and I contemplate. . . 

all that which I have: 
knowledge, skills, comfort, good health,
family and friends;
those things I’ve always possessed;
those wished for. . . now manifest.

summer’s sun sets, yet
harvest’s sunrise is coming. . . 
happiness warms me

For...

Under shade of heaven, exposing a cheerful firmament…
my special child, mirth-filled, basked with delight
since he had in his possession, freedom-might
precious more than gold for optimized play engagement.

Midst temperate weather, calmed by azure sky…
his boyish complexion welcomed sun-exposure
while his untrimmed hair found beach-pleasure
on that gracious vacation...

Missing the entanglement of our longing limbs
Embracing the indulgence of our carnal whims
Kissing ravenous, your mounting sighs grow 
Savoring skin eager, but savoring slow
Our union blissful, lustful, lovely
Held closely you hold captive the passion of me
You control the senses I call my own
My sight’s your...

a spring like day
witnessed nature in surround sound,
whereby reflection spurred
reminiscence about similar weather
a few years ago when...

May day...I'm at the back
Listening to Chinese traditional music:
That bamboo flute in tuning,
Synchronizing with my thoughts
Amazed at our species capabilities,
All hail earthlings, keep the rain for me!
Serving services and handling handles,
Clumsy hands, O pardon me 
Life so so slippery but my madam-
Helps me, O Blavatsky...
Stretching...
