Breathtaking, because
. . . The sunset, in its sweet surrender,
with elegant poise; kisses the horizon slow and tender
Beauty is definitely defined,
through majestic moments entwined
yet, without you
here with me
To embrace time and space,
my world does not feel . . . Breathtaking, because
--------------------------------------
~ Lingering thoughts from the heart ~
Because you are a part of me
Breathtaking
B illions of years ago the universe was born
R evealing a resplendent beauty that was and is
E verything and more one could expect from
A n amazing designer and architect and
T imekeeper, beyond all human understanding
H eavenly bodies and beings, celestial phenomenon
T hat is incomprehensible in it´s complexity
A nd simplicity in syncronicity with heavenly
K indness and grace towards the human race
I gniting within us a humility of heart and spirit
N ever negating in our minds eye the unimaginable
G lory that is to be revealed for our eternal blessing.

Beyond the limits of my finite mind
Right past the layered air is where I find
Eternity is etched in orbs that glow
And as I gaze, I'm breathless by the show
The garb of night embellished by the stars
Haphazard not one orbit, there is Mars
Triumphant, every constellation rules
Adoring thoughts ascend from human fools
Kinetic, though to me, they're standing still
Inspired, I take in celestial thrill
No single thing can match this wondrous sight
Grandiloquent the stars that bring delight!

Hello my exotic, glorious maiden,
By now they all know you are taken.
I possessively, poetically, clearly, and eloquently
Told them you are promised to me, a sensual, delicately,
Known beauty, could not marry a canal walk about, a
Wannabe, curling his moustache and swinging his cane,
With no title or aristocratical fame,
And who is just playing a game.
He drinks he smokes, he womanizes, and he is fat
His face ruddy red, he belongs in the sewers with rats.
Every time I see you mon amour, be it every minute
Of every day, my heart goes aflutter,
Concerned my romantic words will go asunder.
As I helplessly stutter.
You push up your corset, and alluringly overflow,
My lovely, anymore tightening, you will explode.
Your thigh high slits in your dresses tantalize men,
And with your matching parasol you look so irresistible,
No one in this town matches your looks, not even contestable.
Love of my life I love you as you be, my mistress soon to be wife,
For the rest of my life.
Time drags by so slow,
I want a ring on your finger,
Then I will whisk you away, to my Chateau,
You blow so many kisses, I know they are for me,
Your blue-eyed wink, a secret code that we will meet in the
Gondola and enjoy our passion,
You are breathtakingly beautiful, considered to be quite the catch,
We have known from our teens, that we were the perfect match.
As I laid under the pale moonlight, I looked up;
saw a shooting star.
It was breathtaking, but it doesn’t come close
to what I see in your eyes.

B rilliant beauty meandering from curve to curve
R arely will you find elsewhere except in Reshi Khola
E ye catching gurgling river casting spell on viewer
A midst the lovely blue hills of sub Himalayan valley
T here it surrounds the glorious forest and tea garden
H appy pebbles sparkling in the crystal clear water
T emple with Lord Buddha’s palm always calming you
A pril and May teeming with amazing birds and flowers
K iss your soulmate breathing in the enveloping aroma
I n between the magical land of Sikkim and Bengal
N estles the Khola or the river in the famous Silk Route
G o and get the mighty gift of peace and fluent silence

Beautiful forest from a fairy tale in green
A waterfall wild, beautiful, cascading veils true and clean
Like a royal palace - sparkling in 24-carat gold
Nature in its natural look, wonderful to behold
Hunting and seeking the perfect, far away
A polished diamond, you will definitely find someday
In September mother nature wear
a comfortable atmosphere, which glows in the air

Silently, pensively, I watch the crystal waters from above.
The air is crisp, and the sun is warm as the birds sing their tender, sweet songs of love.
I can feel the mist dancing up from the waves.
Surrounding me fully, their symphony I crave.
The rocks are shining beneath a surface of green.
Such breathtaking beauty very few have seen.
The grasses sway gently to and fro,
And I feel the magic continue to grow.
Some say that Heaven lies far from here,
But to stand by the water, one would swear it was near.
The people who come here, so euphoric they quiver,
When they behold the sites of the Colorado River.
B eneath the cloudline shines one star that greets
R adiant flames with a murmured drawl,
E ager to shimmer on, yet dusk time fleets
A s winds peal their ballad to enthrall…
T ill glints the orchid like a jewel
H eavenly in the amber of light,
T eetering near the edge for a hued flight
A nd pearl its brightness reaching star’s cell …
K iln of glitter spreads on a marquee, where
I ridescence leaps its twinkling climb…
N ever a sight this breathless , this rare
G lorious oh nova and bloom… sublime!

Begin your Diamond Head hike in the early hours of morning as it
Requires two full hours to climb to the top at an
Elevation of seven hundred sixty two feet from sea level.
After reaching the top of Diamond Head Crater,
That was formed by a volcanic explosion 200,000 years ago,
Honolulu and Waikiki are the breathtaking views from
The top of the crater, spreading out from the Ko'olaus to the sea.
Allow yourself enough time to capture panoramic pictures as
Keepsakes of your climb and bask in the beauty surrounding
Impressive famous landmarks from the Manoa Valley to the
Natural harbour featuring the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.
Gorgeous amazing views greet the eyes in every direction.
*Ko'olau Mountain Range
Diamond Head Hike:
Diamond Head is the name of a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu and known to Hawaiians as Le'ahi, most likely from lae 'browridge, promontory' plus ahi 'tuna' because the shape of the ridgeline resembles the shape of a tuna's dorsal fin. Its English name was given by British sailors in the 19th century, who mistook calcite crystals on the adjacent beach for diamonds.
Blissful, stunning, BEAUTIFUL is my dream- where I am lost in a green
rainforest, d r i p p i n g , and lush. Sultry with mist and haze, and
echoing is a tiger's roar hidden. For a moment it silences the BIRDS
and then, they resume their rambling beautiful s o n g
tenfold. A purple butterfly drifts by and I push aside wet magnificent leaves
hypnotised by the amazing foliage. I see that on my arm are many vines
twining. In the BREATHLESS hush, my long t a n g l e d hair is billowing
as I travel on s e a r c h i n g in my wondrous steamy journey
knowing, that the rainforest's curious creatures are watching me, oh
incredible is a BLUE hissing snake and an amazing little orange frog
nourishing itself on a w e t ravaged leave. My mind is alive with thoughts,
glorious and astounding. Words are creeping with rapture, to my dripping pen.

(Kimo: 10-7-6 syllables)
Bright-eyed youths have risen early
Ready for their special day
Eager for the life awaiting
Afterwards, without delay.
Time for them is of the essence;
Hopes and dreams must be pursued
There's no room for fear or doubt--
Attitudes to be eschewed.
Kudos will be freely given
In just hours. Each honoree
Now will know how BREATHTAKING
Graduation day can be.

Beneath a veneer of sapphire waves,
Rays of sunshine make fingers of light,
Ethereal, over crusty, pink coral forms.
Atolls that rise from stark white sand, create
Tunnels for twining eels and twinkling starfish
Hues of rainbow anemones mingle with
Tangerine flowers, resplendent along
Avenues of pelagic growth, draping over
Knolls of time worn stones, mirrored
In sunken remnants of marble ruins.
Now, at day's end an orange sunset
Glows with long beams to reveal a lost Atlantis.

Pacific murmur
Blond eyelids wake up seagulls
Happiness alive
Surf and rays in love
Paintbrushes escape from box
Immortality...
Tempera of Soul
Obsessive Golden Spectrum
Rip open my chest
Don' t need oxygen
Growing gills, play with dolphins
Sun alive again...
