his pen your shield of admiration,
your life his poems of devotion -

Golden light appears in tier after tier
As if Mother Nature were on a spree
Fall's magical splendor each passing year
Transforming the colors of every tree

Colors she chooses are all warmer hues
Flaxen yellow, marmalades and pure reds
Old russet and bright chartreuse to confuse
Over dark forest floors boldly...

I don’t know how many millions or billions
Of sparrows there are, but the Father does
How can he know when each sparrow falls?
He knows every detail because

	He is infinite and omniscient
	He counts every hair on your head
	He cares for the lilies and cares for the birds
	He...

Cascading 
Emotions exploding 
A deluge of tears flowing freely 

Waterfall 
From gushing streaming eyes 
Diamond dew drops glistening glinting 

Plummeting 
Churning, deeply plunging 
Vertical drop; my heart is breaking

Angel falls 
Rainbow clears misty eyes 
Sunshine smiles, drying torrent of tears 

my name was on for...

Inspired by "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," by William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a leaf that falls,
unmourned, to the distant ground
I paused when I heard a far bird's calls
Magic I'd missed looking down--
royal Autumn leaves danced in gold and red.
This must be where my...

whose wiener's so long it would stab ya'

A teardrop falls deeply—slicing and aching  
hurt twisting knots around the deepest fingers 
love you from my heart warmest emotions so 
in each kiss of your beauty I feel all of you 
worth the suffering and pain that happens 
gaining rewards in the end—undiminished...

staring back
seemingly motionless
in her thunder she froths at the mouth 

whips away
at the serene background
exposes her dominant nature

the tears flow
against a cheek bone hard
that slowly erodes its stoic mask

leaves its mark
a vividly engraved 
memory of many summers past

At night rapscallions in my head
Refuse the coal that scorches dread

And peace, however light the touch
Calms the seas where dragons rush

The crescent moon, my dreams aglow
With love so pure, pearl ivy grows

Hurried heart that once sought fame
Must kindle hope née shatter shame

Above the sky where...

Whirling, whirling, whirling along distinctive paths
originating somewhere farther back, beyond the crest. . .
foaming frenzied water (once but mere faint streams
as placid as our souls before we met)
now travels faster, faster,
gaining in strength and intensity.

Beneath the glow of an amber moon,
we, young lovers, lie where...

On my heart, a winter swathed 
palm
Her spring flowers only right for 
When chill itself dons out windblown—
Attached there by my faithful arm.
Green there and here tell on you soft,
Your story's places in the snow—
While meek flakes sleep on my
breastbone—
From your heart, I shake only...

S- sweet and somber is the September breeze
E- energizes the mind and elevates the heart
P- pageant of colors appear as autumn comes to seize
T- temperate turns the weather, as heat does depart.

E- evening sunsets are a beauty to behold
M- making the sky a canvas of...
