Venus in View


Oh, megalithic moon, shine your rays upon my beatific being
For in this jubilant June, our hearts aflutter forever fleeing
My Venus stands still, a Goddess of the crimson songful sky
Within a throbbing thrill, my love comes in with a soulful shy
Oh Aphrodite grant me...

Where do I start when such beauty is in view
From where I sit amidst cerulean blues
Behind she, my love, the breakers in crest
Caressing so soft, golden hues in zest

Where do I start when such beauty is in view
Locks so dark, tied back in style
Tanned shoulders...

Muted solitary moments run for days,
as the air of discontent begins to scoff
we vent in a wordless empty praise
pretending, telling the truth to back off;
in view of the mirror all bets are off.

Mother watches her boy in bed,
Sees not the man but the child.
The love she gave through his life,
Now she watches him slowly die.

He that only wanted to share in love.
Sweet child, have you no mercy,
She feels blame, doesn’t help his...

Successive   days   and  nights rolled

Crisis   loom ...

A-fter the moon is gone; 
Z-one of morning glory
I-s shared by the dawn.

R-ed beacon is in sight, 
E-ventide turns into day;...

A-ims to warm your birth.
R-ide like the blowing wind,
T-ill you reach where you...

N-ew hope is in view, 
O-pen both your eyes; 
V-isible ray of light 
E-manates from sunrise. 
L-ook, new hope is in view,

T-o make you feel good, 
A-nd even much better.

R-emaining days are twelve; 
N-ineteenth of December, 
E-xpect the hopeful life to

B-egins to slowly fade; 
U-sing the word farewell, 
S-aying good-bye will be made.
E-arly Tuesday morning meets the sky so blue; 
O-pen your eyes...
