Women of the world, my tribute to you!

Silently, silently, behind the bed stead of night,
Without any howling of moon,
Besides, walk along the clouds.
Walk silently, melt silently.
At the half- lighted pure hours of darkness.

If sun departs, night would not come,
Evening primroses open forever.
If twilight departs, sun would not come,
Nightmares shine forever.

I wish, the...

My heart burst into flaming love

Burning  memories there forever

Your touch branded eternally on my spirit

I've breathed worthless air until you

Now I sit here missing you

Trapped within this mortal existence

This oxygen continuing my loneliness

Was it real or was it of illness 
Late at night in the city of Kansas 
Throwing my weakened soul on my old bed

Suddenly I hear voices and a bell loudly rings  
Everything drown into darkness 
From nowhere my dead wife appeared 

On two...

From across the park I see the house,
Open windows spilling pools of light
Onto the wide wraparound porch.
As I walk nearer, I take a look inside.

On the walls, framed paintings
And a cluster of family photographs,
Over-stuffed furniture, a little worn,
Sleepy dog on a towel on the chair.

Through...

Since birth we fear the darkness. We wear what it contains. We fear the shadows.
But what is dark without light? can we not have a shadow without a candle bright?

Darkness absence of light creates
Shadows our own form imitates 

Don't fear absent illumination, give darkness a...

December brings out the artist in me
When we decorate our Christmas tree

Spacing the lights out just so
Hanging bulbs that glisten and glow

It’s a masterpiece every year
Creating memories precious and dear

I love to sit and sip a cup of tea
Admiring the brilliant artistry

Scent of fir tree...

PERSONIFIED LIGHTED CANDLE:

Come on, I'm strong and edified.
No one can hold me in detention for getting them defied.
Compared to Cassius Clay; fiercely bonified.
A firmly personified lighted candle on a lampad. 
In the corners of every room, brightens so hard.
It's me, my style, describing it an...

My heart burst into a flame of love,

Burning romantic memories forever there.

Your touch was branded eternally onto my spirit;

I'd lived yet only breathed worthless air until you.

Now I sit here missing you,

Trapped within this mortal existence,

Wasting precious oxygen meant for those wishing to be here.

Damn,...

Into the depths we carry on
We, the lighted souls
I to run a wooded way
You to make it whole
And when a wounded hand is mine
Shall you hold it dear?
It is yours to trace with light
Draw so ever near...

Untamed ebony hair cascaded, 
some swirled in sensual squall, 
some laced the lattice of lust 
on your ivory forehead canvas,
engraving the contours of charm, 
configured the captivating last visage . 

The dove eyes danced in the blue sea  
on the melody waves of fervor,

Alone candle flame
Burning into the night
Burning deep in the heart
The endless dark
Waves of ink crash upon 
This island of illuminated shores
Bleak hours of lost sorrow
Love nevermore
Wings of shadowed sparrow touch, not evermore
Emotions grow forever 
Narrow
In a flame alone
In the darkness of its design, forevermore
Burning, burning...
