Our slumber, a rock falling swiftly overnight,
Embalms serene, steady air that breathes.
It shapes our days as a harbor of zeal bright,
From choppy seas as ethereal rage seethes.

Encrusted...

Two suits with familiar faces, the faces that we focus our battles.
These masters of the future, in your name they act, but you claim no blame.
So when a war is fought or the smog embalms us, will you still shout with tears that democracy lost...

Lily,
Her beauty surpasses the moon,
The fragrance of her voice charms the world
And draw sorrows away from mankind
She is a woman!

Lily,
Her smile embalms the sorrowful world
And soothes the weeping nations
Making them smile, and smile again
She is a woman!

Lily,
The glare from her eyes make heavens blush
And clouds...

From his voice springs the tenderest sound of lute
There is not a moment
mute
In the company of my little cherubim
Oh how I love him, how I love him!
 
Dissonance played in my core.
Before his birth 
My first born.
Our pride and Joy.
The cold of winter is all...

But for Rhymes

Of things I am uncertain I speak.
But what is not contained can leak.
Or it would be hidden behind the curtain,
Balm cracks of a wearisome life damn certain.

Between the sweet and the sour lies the beautiful.
In the in-between spaces is life bountiful.

Something
from the sadness of a requiem
the branches are swinging
all around fir cones;
death, where are your pins?
 
Something
from the mildness of a lullaby
the waves are moving
the yachts are unfolding the masts
the boatman, where is the North Star?
 
Something
from the melancholy of a great yearning
embalms the bed...

Caustic words 

Wounded is her core

Then twilight happens:

Diaphanous

 

The next day:

A lavender mist encapsulates atmosphere 

Oh the sea is so serene.

Like a minty aroma 

Embalms her soul

 

Acrid memories fade.

No longer is he a cynosure

But a  shadowy tale.

She stops cursing

her ill-fate and fills her...

The binomial scrolls list captive waste,
But the breathing chrysalis bound to the dark
Secured to the radian orbital stone
In the peripheral absence of the lark

She breathes alone
She remains unknown

She has no divisor to wilt her life
Nor governing census of phylum and foe
No patent pending inscription to...

I knew what love is from my mom, my first sensation
Before I could grasp its meaning, I sensed that emotion
I enjoyed it in breadth and depth as a babe from my mom
She wiped away my aches with love’s soothing balm

A mother’s love involves sacrifice and...

Pushing cascades crest bastion, stomach lost
    Largesse spread wafts orange blossom bridal
    Bestows clouds let go to marshmallow moss
    Fearless flight crinoline crash vertical


    In gospel gothic deep chasm, drunk mink swims

Come from the East, they tracked a star and gave a king their gold.
Then leaving by another way, warned in a dream, foretold.
Another sought him - Rachel weeps; she will not be consoled.

Then frankincense for a high priest, to consecrate the child.
Grain offering: the bread...

Automobile prohibitive maintenance costs
pitches me pitifully begging for alms
lamenting dog forsaken
melon collie unpleasant circumstances
pleading with outstretched palms
disgraced to beg, perhaps donate
major organ and/or entire body

to ease vehicular qualms
aha... methinks the missus could pose
as ventriloquist after mortician embalms
these lovely bones, but, hmm...
even then post mortem
agitation most...
