How many ways
Can I say to you?
With words
Or silence
The towns square clown seeking your affections
Coldness or warmth
Open your loins of desire
Bare your heart
Let me whisper 
As I enter into you
I am you
You are me
Entwined
In the prison of freedom
The poison of love
The potion of eternal youth
Let...

My dearest one -
you oft traversed my well tended garden.
A panacea I personally created
to massage your ailing id.
A garden similar to the wondrous patchworks
found in Eden.

A recreational playground
of neatly lined tree varietals.
Peach, fig, pear and apple trunks -
are surrounded by the glory of lilac bushes
scores...

The explosion of spring is heralded by the sound
of the golden trumpets of the daffodils
Playing an overture to Spring
Listen, you can hear the robin as he trills  loves tune 
making a nest ready for the eggs she is carrying
The tuning of Spring

The buzzing insects,...

As you wait
for a turn of fate
to get things
rolling again

You pass the time
listening to music
while pondering
transformations solidified

into transparent discrepancies
relinquished by distinguished
personifications that are truly amazing.
You drift through

happy circumferences
as you smile,
gaze into the distance
of truthful overtones

that are resurrected
with the ease
of a twist of justifications
dampening your quest....

The ghostly courier hints at the approach of autumn,
not by changing of leaves,
but by mists during the heat of August
softening the full moon
as an impressionist would in
hazy landscapes.
Subtle, brief drops in temperature
and early morning cobwebs
warn of a change to come.
The fanfare of glory in fiery...

Tryouts starring musical prodigies 
and/or an attendant conductor
attempt to approach ambient chorus 
divinely exhibited from Gaia's handiwork
heavenly invoking kapellmeister's magnificent nonchalant outlook 
piquantly, quintessentially, repertoire sensately striking 
unmatched vast wisdom yielding, zephyr air albeit creativity 
engineered from groundswell harmony
juxtaposed, kindled, linkedin, 
manifesting noteworthy opulent philharmonic recording

Blazing orange sun
Sings sky and ocean duet.
Foaming finale.

The secret's out, 
denial's done,
the play's begun
and everyone
who's bought
a ticket, 
now must know
the sordid truth

A shameful story
for all to see,
what once was sacred
to you and me,
an intermission
and two acts there'll be,
libretto begins upon page three

In your program you will note
the names of us, the ones...

When
The
Clock hands 
Mark midnight 
At the New Year Eve
Raise high your champagne flute and  cheers            
For the best and not so good moments lived in this year
Making an agreement with yourself of realizing...

Shadows form a discreet curtain shrouding love's address      
Entering the hypnotic stage, stardust caress     
Refracting moonbeams sweep balcony focusing spotlight on gleaming tress     
Endeared minstrel plucks heart strings wooing his princess 
Nightingale perches in love's apron unbridled passion to express
A romantic balad...

OVERTURE

Overture is an opening and in music, it can be an
independent orchestral composition in one movement
or an introduction to an opera, extended musical
composition or oratorio, like Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.
 
Overture is a prelude that I added in my poem “Music”
every time I recite it in...

I’m treading on thin ice.
Misplaced my safety net.
Captured in this crooked paradise.
Your pants are catching fire.
Curiosity killed the cat,
Cause he thought he was a tiger.
Glued to your filthy habits,
You can say that again.
If you don’t stand for something,
You’ll fall for anything.
Words mean nothing…
You’ve got my...
