An Encounter of the Once In a Lifetime KindEncounter of the Once in a Lifetime Kind
Waiting for his appointment, he scrutinizes her
(she’s oblivious to him). Long tapered nails,
like wing-tips of scarlet butterflies,
flit above a keyboard, and her perfect form
sits poised, tall and straight in her seat.
He imagines her in red chiffon....

Once In a LifetimeThey're once in a lifetime
These moments of joy
The first time you rattle
That colourful new toy
Your first day at school
With the rest of the kids
Your hair all slicked down
Bad smells Mom got rid
The ultimate joy
Of your first tender kiss
The shock when she tells you
Her period she...

Once In a Lifetime...There are some days
when I am so caught up
in the grown up rush
that I forget to look you in the eyes,
touch your face,
hug you close…
remind you that I love you, cherish you
have confidence in you…
Sometimes,
I get so caught up in grown-up thoughts
that I forget
that you’re...

Once In a LifetimeTwin?
A tough job.
A great wish and hope.
A wonderful mother can cope.
Identical twin?
i rarely met.
i barely knew.
Glad that i met and i knew,
finally.
Identical twin brothers?
The same faces, weirdness and craziness.
Same blood and DNA yet different printing on the thumb.
Can they still have the same home hereafter?
Can...

Once In a LifetimeThat big orange star,
on the top left of Orion
Could burst into supernova,
at any given time
Betelgeuse is the name,
and soon it’s going up in flames
Will be seen within our daylight,
for a whole year til it wanes
The Orion constellation,
shall grow a...

Once In a LifetimeWine overflows
my cup.
Only for
One night,
I am
Being treated;
an annual
holiday gift...
I am king.
I wear
his crown.
I model
his clothes.
I love
this day.
Forever may
it remain
a blessing
to remember...

Once In a Lifetime Ragtime DancingThe crowd went wild.

She danced and danced and danced
And caressed the air with a honey-brown hand.
The crowd drank gin, got drunk on the blues
And she drank in the night in one long swallow
Sassy-slow saxophone bathed the room.
And they listened with...

Once In a LifetimeWhat if you, yes you, won
a once-in-a-lifetime,
never again prize -
The biggest and best of them all?
Imagine your parents
bought the lucky ticket
and all other jackpots
look small.
Now perhaps...
