POET'S HONEYMOON
Pretend we're on a poet's honeymoon
Let's dance atop the Massifs on the moon
We'll get our fill of Milky Way's champagne
Behind a chariot of stars, the twain

Each star a stepping stone of Heaven's rune
That leads down to a luminous lagoon
And when Andromeda begins to wane
We'll...

He's caressing my keys, please don't tease
his touch doth make every string sing







For 'The Piano' contest - not placed

Heaven-sent on dove’s whitest wings,
unique beauty of nature sings
with cottony clouds and harp strings
gushing out crystal sparkling springs.

Its magic an enchanting tease
as music floats down with the breeze.
Subtle nostalgic melodies
whisper God’s clear cathartic pleas.

Life bursts forth with a childlike glee
in earth, in sky, and on...

When Spring’s first touch is gently set
with Winter now scarcely a threat,
implore the ocean breezes spray
all cares and troubles far away.

With sweet caress of warmer days
and softness in the sunny haze,

of my favorite nature spots.

Where flowers kiss the breeze that blows

In the turmoil of troubling thoughts
I hear your voice calling to Me.
Listen! Your sick heart is screaming
as it seeks out comforting spots.

Listen! You must feel contrition
in the turmoil of troubling thoughts.

and ask for Divine redemption.

Listen! Your soul churns within you
and...

Hi Winter, how we feel your icy touch!
The earth remains under your freezing clutch.
The trees stand huddled in the numbing cold.
And the sun has lost its bright sheen of gold.

From nowhere comes the song of any bird.
On slopes, one cannot sight the grazing herd. 
Piles...

I bow to you with a rose in my hand
and hope you press it between love's pages
I will not assume nor will I demand
I'll promise to love you through the ages

hear my heartbeat when it speaks to you, love
it will give you all of your...

How art thou too beauteous to my muse?
Thou breath is tamed like those of thy dreary seam
As thy eyes art to themselves pilgrims of mine abuse
From the heavenly seas drowning deep into my dreams.
Thy arms that reach to the levels of sincerity 
Hath sent mine...

Fall flourishes with flighty flair,
a silent song upon the air.
Melody of fading ember,
all in spirit, rhythm, and timbre.
In Her heart, a tenuous tune
flirting with a bold maroon moon.
She has not sung this song before,
an unearthly, uplifting score.

Morendo a niente, fades out,
catching Her breath in subtle...

These days, actors and singers serve my catapult mayhem, 
sometimes they are catalyst too!
I sing in between their lines of songs
their churned up recorded whims, hums, and candid cataracts! 
And some days, whence things get screwed up
about a  random psychotic feed back ,on a...
