My sentient soul sails swiftly savoring the seismic silence.

Wisdom is
a slow-ripening fruit
that ,
alas, few of us would ever be blessed
to
have the unique privilege
as
to savor its divine flavor!

You don’t have to act like you don’t know me
We used to enjoy each others company
And now you can’t stand the sight of me
Well I’ve got news for you
The feeling is completely mutual
I don’t understand your thought process
I guess there was too much excess
I didn’t fit in to your plans of success
So much for planning
I suppose it wasn’t good timing
The heart wants what it wants
But fate had some say in the matter
I guess it’s for the better
You were a wild card
Dealt by karma
Just for fun
Testing my levels of tolerance and patience
What am I to do when someone like you
Looks my way
A stomach full of butterflies
A heart running away from me
My feelings pinned to my sleeve
We see each other everyday
Guess we broke the thermostat
The icy looks we’ve shared
I suppose I was a burden
Just too much to bear
So if you see me in the future
Please, don’t stare
Just glance my way
And simply think of the memories we shared
They were sweet and raw
Something worth remembering

Dramatic Monologue
Plush puffs of sincerity rest
flush to the king of hearts
bleeding feeding
on oxygen blown free
eternal fires of destiny
where cinnamon wafts of excitement
pour out percolated with precision
slowly whistling for another spot
swirling rhythmically in an never
ending caramel cup
Savoring every last drop

S tars o’er spiritual sanctuary
I ndulgence in inward infinity
L et us linger lush lengths of latitude
E ndorsement of envied entitlement
N omads in the night negotiating
C alibrating their carefree carapace
E ons seek their earthly enlightenment

Alliteration
It disappeared from sky while locked inside
No squinting back at light
No one longs for more,
than those who are deprived
Warmth on skin, bronzing tone
Brings to life, melting snow
Nurtures leaves as they grow
Blooms return as it conquers cold
Shadows cast are welcomed back
Waking day dispels the black
Children play in stretching days
Beach sand warms to shining rays.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Memories flood with everlasting summer....
Rising just behind you....setting as we watched
Smells of aloe soothed my reddened skin
I only cursed you for melting my ice cream
Torturing ants with magnifying glass...
...sadistic children giggled in delight
We loathed the night, called back inside
Each day running into your welcoming arms

Today I'll just watch
the passing scene
And attempt to absorb
And savor its strident vibe
Today I’ll just be:
A dispassionate observer
of the Human condition
Watching the game
from the side
Taking mental photos of
Making mental maps of
Scenes I might not
notice otherwise
Of the face’s silent expressions
Of the mouth’s expressive lips
Of the eye’s lies and misdirections
From which sarcasm fairly drips
Today will be:
A day of deciphering body-speak/talk
Of giving voice to poses
Of observing every posture tweak
From the toes up to the noses
Today I’ll see:
What most just think they see
In their mundane world so mean
While I’ll take measure...At my leisure
...Take pleasure in the passing scene…`

Soft soporific stillness in the night
Reclaims calm upon chaotic daylight.
Serene solitude takes a languid lead,
Reflecting on days’ rhythmic rapid beat.
My close companion, my favorite friend,
With you I wish demanding days to end.
To soothing spell of silence, I commend.

Rhyme
Stand by, as I share my sweetest solitude:
laid-back, near lamp's low light- at my keyboard-
rendering real rhymed refrains- with rhythm
of clear, choice words that chime from mind to hands.
With my muse and mindful meditation,
on solitude's stark stage- I step and swirl with
wondrous words that waltz unto the waiting screen.

Savoring solitude’s a sweet sensation
a blissful moment of euphoric, elation
the marvelously meaningful meditation
a sacred savored spiritual vacation
transcending tensions I fly fleetly away
to spiritually survive, savoring silence
mentally waltzing upon my way.

Alliteration
In restless dreams I sail the night on celestial seas,
starlight serving as my guide on uncharted course.
I explore constellations with consummate expertise,
shared as a secret, but I'll never reveal my source.
My mentor is an impressive sage, a tour de force.
Some nights I fly around the moon with canvas wings,
landing on her surface for a brief respite in the night,
then journey, searching for love, around Saturn's rings
for a handsome dreamer, a gallant captain or a knight
to soar through galaxies with me when we take flight.
I've yet to find a seraphic to ignite my stellar flare.
My dreams may become a scrapbook of sad souvenirs
unless I find an elixir that will lead me to love's lair.
Until then I'll drink bitter wine, infused with my tears.
Where must my search continue, for how many years?
I shall savor the flavor of starlight while I am dreaming.
Thirst quenched in the waters during the moon's eclipse.
I hope to find a lover at my side, his sultry eyes gleaming,
whispering sensuous words before I surrender my lips.
I long to be seduced and caressed by his warm fingertips.
