an extra day to cheer,
but its pretty dumb,
if your born on the last one,

Reflecting light within the smoothness,
Surrounded all by foam,
The sea was making sandy wet
And salt was in the air.

One circuit now complete....

And out they creep to see
If the current of air
Is stale....

chocolate hearts and candies in boxes
play their part in having me nauseous 
passion a project for the masses 
roses in package, romance the passage
red, white and pink, fed right in the link
bed time in sync, just what you think

Again that day we all enjoy,
Looked at left it is a foy,
Short ago we saw it set,
Hand in hand the sea we met.

In time spent we shared a lot
Then in the world we did get caught,
The void did fill and firm we stood,
Look inside and...

While at war word had come.

"A soldier in blue slept through his watch.

And unless forgiven would soon be shot."

To all my loves I have to say

And may all our Hearts be free....

DRESDEN, GERMANY February 13, 1945
Pathfinders lit the night to show the way
for bombardiers too hungry for the word;
as Dresden's dark was made as light as day,
all hearts were stopped before the blasts were heard;

Dug what seems to be good organic soil from low ground,
In South Florida, that’s not easily found .

Moved that dark gold to a higher spot,
By the pond in front of Mary’s lot.

Planted rows north to south.
A month late for planting but we’ll see.
The hot Florida...

DEATH OF KING HUSSEIN  
      February 7, 1999 Amman, Jordan
Uncertain wings, Hawk of the Qureish fly
out of the night to meet the coming day
of certain mourning, he is set to die
as is uncertain peace that was his way.

Amman is...

I don’t know what I am writing
I felt I had to write something
All I know is that I LOVE YOU
Even though my words cannot express it enough

On a day like this

Not only today but always
I...

PART 2
So we bring ‘Kaya’ now,
is this love?
Get up stand up,
could you be loved.
Liberation in Zimbabwe,
we are yet to see this.
This bad card,
can easily yield war.
Because these ‘crazy baldheads’,
are still running amok.
So we best plot our exodus,
assured by the...

alone and brave
so proudly he waves
born against frosty Wind
fragile, solitary Sprout


doesn't he know
come one fatal Snow
or one life-crushing Storm
that he'll surely be snuffed out?...
