warbled melodies enlighten the palate 
whistles delight but fly off to the thistle
freighted by the frigid speak  
amongst the downturn of the day

...Creeping creepy creepers, the crawling trellis
jutting out of everywhere
snaking through country and metropolis
twisting turning in floral bliss
but more like snakes that hiss
But in quietude fe......

...It was tantalizing, sweet completion
Lines of blue ink filling white space
Tastes of emotions, colors of consonants
Music of vowels, syllables singing
To create, and satiate

Then, time thinned......

...Back to back 

on their solemn brass bed 

Facing shadows on the wall

On an old wooden dresser 

an antique lamp r......

“Small Addictions”

your sole purp......

Rainbow personified & God’s messenger,
Resting the souls of dead women,
Decorum of the graves,

...As the second hand ticks away my breaths
a half-clad moon catches my eye.
Was a time when I might've seen
the ghost of half-eaten melon,

how often the roads we journey upon 
allude to lyrics like variant moods of songs.

Lessons In the Breeze

...Echoes roam these hallowed halls
and for a moment I wished 
to run away into the darkness

The last of her glow

and I can barely feel her touch

Once a warm summer's kis......

was found outside the dictionary,
in the hearts and minds of men;

Peek In Through My Window

...Wet wings hold back the morning song
clouds cover what was meant to be a perfect day
a loose boulder rolls uphill after an earthquake
mountaintops screech it's time for tea 
but I'm relegated to ......

Premium Member The Red Hat

...‘Twas in another century
On a desolate, dreary day 
When something red from skies above
Wafted into the land of gray.

It slowly drifted in the sky,
Then lit on the head of a boy.
