A rainbow glitters
in the sky.
And by a wild rose,
flies a white butterfly.

And birds on a bough,
in the early morning sing;
as if from Heaven,
a symphony they bring.

Sunny yellow dandelions,
the color of your hair.
I quickly catch my...

They thought he was a harmless fool.
His hair dyed black
And eyebrows pencilled in,
The silver outfits -
Shoulders huge -
And platform shoes.

His lyrics less than lyrical,
Chanted, shouted
At his concerts;
His hits always played at parties.

A has-bean humoured,
Perhaps patronised,
His antics tolerated.

But Gary Glitter had a dark secret…

I-mage is just misleading, 
S-ome things appear so nice; 
A-ll that glitters is not gold, 
B-eauty deceives our eyes.
E-verything that glitters is not gold, things might look worthwhile; 
L-ater we shall find ourselves dismayed without a smile.

D-ay six October morn
I-n our view is a calm...

Atomic number seventy nine,
A precious metal that sure does shine.
Sought by many, claimed by few,
Prospecting was the thing to do.

Found and used in all forms of life,
Sealing the bond with my dear wife.
It is noble and so versatile.
Some is visible when I smile

Symbol Au, from...

Soaring into the air,
strafing the  clear blue skies
traversing  land and moutains high,
the eagle flies, a bird of awesome size.
 It's wings, huge bellows trapping air, 
send tiny creatures into spasms with fear.

Stooping low,  talons  drawn 
scoop  up unsuspecting prey
an innocent...

I am a book
with a cover of glitter and gold
an object of pure admiration
a character that's bold
a glamorous entity
a star about to unfold,
but you cant see through me 
and my story is untold.

If you took off my covers
then what would you see
my page of black...

All that Glitters….

The stars have left their mark 
upon the sapphire blue of night.
Bits and pieces part, glimmer, glitter
a shattering of shards
Shaken from the hollowed kaleidoscope 
of moonlight and comet tails~
from the exhaustive flight of jet contrails.
Darned are the remnants of gloss tickling
against the omnipresent...

Glitters
So we wander,
with the enormity of the silent universe.
So we surrender,
to the disrupting lines of nature's verse.
Away we fly with the converging horizons,
aback it takes us like the flowing turf.
As the demons, we fly,
over the mighty heap of silvers.
we always have a chance,
but we barely...

While on my way to Golden Town
I saw a man outside in tattered clothes
He looked so tired and weary
His eyes we’re so sad and teary
Though he looked right at me
I swear his eyes looked beyond
“Good Sir, “ I asked, “are you alright? “
The stranger did...

Treasures hidden in plain sight
Where all the world can see
Search and you can find them
But they never come for free

Sometimes it is worth paying
Treasures that have a price
Friendship is not just up to fate
Don't just roll the dice

Love is a lovely gift
But it is both...

Cold
North wind
Drifts dry snow
On mute meadow,
Stacks flakes in frozen branches, fir trees bow.

Night sky bends low, in northern light it glows
Holds sparkling stars,
They descend
Lights up 
Life.

Joy
Glitters,
Air dances
On tree of life
With the rhythm of carol sung from heart.

Christmas jingles bell for New Year to start
Happy times...

In shadows cast by neon haze, A world unfolds in modern days,
Where screens dictate our hearts' desires, And connections fade amidst the wires.

We chase the rush of fleeting fame, Yet yearn for depths we cannot name,
Lost souls, seeking solace and light, In this modern dance...

Fame fades like flowers
Fame makes all things glitters
Fame attracts parasites to you
Who will want to milk and use you.

Fame doesn't make you more attractive
It only describes you like an adjective
Fame makes you feel like a super being
And makes you lose your being.

Fame can make you...
