See there! She flies about the moor
Upon her favoured mount.
The waving, flowing grassy shore
bears hoofprints all about.
The waves her steed surmounts.
Her hair is flying here and there;

As Lilibet, the rider, goes
At breakneck turns and...

When I’ll no longer see your face;
When I’ll no longer hear your voice,
Or feel the warmth of your embrace

The growing bond between our lives
The hand of...

Thy beauty of my affliction

One to sense and not to peek

Find sunshine in their youthful morning-song.
The prayer within a child’s heart soon to bless.
Transported on angelic wings so strong.

Children's laughter is a pure-felt happiness.
Find sunshine in their youthful morning-song.

Each day with rapid pace youth moves along
desiring of a...

Silent pain am I screaming…
Robbing your soul of triumph
Making you languish in frustration angst
Inflicted by skepticism’s oppressive blight

Vanquish me with your affirmation:
“Therefore being...

To reach the clouds with freedom zest
My dear special child makes it fly

Propelled by Bible story might
Elijah’s great chariot*...

O For Only The Love Of Love!


O for only the love of love!
Not another hour or another time
The love withal holds me but just for now

A word so sweet the heart so yearns
The wounds so dry be washed by tears

reveling in lassitude
ankles crossed
arms cradling a lolling head,

is to know mystery.

Eyes arrayed in perpetual humor,
the brawn of chest rising and falling
with satisfied breath

speaks only of peace.

To gaze upon your form
in wonder such a precious gift.

Maleness...
