I sneak glance at veiled blue.
as swank stars start  to shine,
Sleeping, I sensed your love.
as warmth weaves through the heart,
Feeling the night above

I sneak glance...

A double sonnet in which the great detective and his faithful sidekick, Dr. Watson, alternately deduce the cause of Sherlock’s latest malady…

Part the first

at first. “Try as I might, I cannot find
the cause – is it contusion, or...

dawn meeting of minds
sharing facts in orange mist
espionage days

for the good of all
like roses in the green hall
make the hours brighter

underneath the singing birds
misty dreams of morn...

Echoes can hide in places far and wide:
in valleys, wells, near walls, in empty rooms;
in hills and canyons and in ancient tombs.

In Chichen Itza, Mexico, there stands
a Mayan pyramid, now known and named
'New Wonder of the World'. One mystery:
this temple, built for snake god, Kukulkan-

Licia, A Mysterious Mind

A mysterious mind
You often do find
Is cluttered with all kinds of clowns
In your ear they speak 
Quite often with cheek
And tell of your ups and your downs

Driving you mad
By being so bad
But without them, where would you be?
Those voices you hear
Are your...

My priceless jewel, within the face of Heaven, 
That precious light that shines within Loves' rippled Soul. 
My beloved, lead me to the throne of Love divine.

Brown eyes In their sublimity drown within mine. 
One heart,...

Hurriedly, silently, in purposeful fluid movements
and long, determined strides, he dashed among
the thickets, bending and darting amidst the vines
searching for a perfect little place to stay and hide.

She steals my thoughts and dreams both night and day
Allured yet vexed with curiosity
Frustrated by the wicked game she plays

My words are music, she begins to dance

Seducing me to take another chance
To once...

I accidentally stepped into the women's restroom
Turned around to quickly leave
Noticed there was no one there
Then turned back around for a manly peak

What the ladies do in here 
Has always been a mystery
So I lurked about and scouted out
To let all the other men know...

Trifle feelings loiter within me, until she elicits them out,
Wizened by time, she knows that otherwise I might turn mordacious... 
God guides my pen and has assigned her my way,

 ~Mysterious Witchy Woman~ 

I reach to grab the clouds
casting my spells of seduction
see like me they were
never meant to be held, 
but only for a short time
Im like a damp mist that kisses 
the ground 
How I love the mystery my 
life holds
Not looking...

Mysterious Breezes and Winds

Consider the breezes and how they blow
Organdy curtains across a lover’s bed;
The brush of air conditioning on a working head;
A chiffon dress fluttering with the breeze of ballroom dancers,
The whispering kind keeping insects afloat.
And blowing pages of a book one by one.

A...
