Best Till Poems

One dark night a saucer crashed;
the military quickly cleaned up the trash.
In the distance, what they didn’t see;
a thin, white face between the trees.

Once all was quiet, little Gili-ok crept,
from the woods where he had slept.
The rising sun, he felt was great, 
but without his...

All I could do was stand and stare
Your actions caught me unaware

I’d got it earmarked all for me
To enjoy with my cup of tea

I arrived in the room – my eyes grew wide
The very last chocolate éclair, it was inside
YOUR mouth
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MEN!

I bequeath to you my poems,
For words are all I own--
May the images of snow and fall
Bring you comfort when alone.

And I will leave you all of it;
The moonlight on the moor--
As well the quiet, leafy wood,
Or a sunbathed distant shore.

And among the rhyme and...

Coffee bean scent still fills the air

with each new sunrise in our log cabin

My arms around me,embrace the winds of winter gone

Every sky-night windowpanes glow in silent mist

Lunar limbs stream through bedroom blinds

reflecting shadows on empty sheets

Star clusters shine above velvet shores

Sand-wish away from my...

Damned frangipani streams of misery
do ripple his heartstrings with injury.
Menagerie of scented memories
infuse his mood with lost love reveries.

Luscious sepals once had held his heart,
her early twilight darkness did impart,
mute mockingbirds in grief no longer sing,
sunset is bleeding last vermilion fling.

Ancestral home on blissful breeze...

The gloom I feel is gone when you are here
My life takes on the blush of virgin bride
I bloom in love the moment you are near
And strife cannot oppress when by your side

A glory fills the chambers of my heart
The fragrance of affection permeates
Our story...

There's this sweet young lassie named Laura
When she visits, l fall down on the floor-a
So excited am I
My heart, it doth fly
Till my wings, they get all quite sore-a

Like the gradual diming of the 
sun
I watch as day fades away 
Along with my troubles 
Watching as the worldly 
canvas
Completes its daily painting
Maybe im amazed at the way 
Time gives me a break
When the sun seems to burn 
too hot
The song of the darkening...

In the serene nights with starry skies, 
With you on my mind, I realize. 

Beautiful soul, you're so pristine.
Perfect are you, your love divine. 

Oh my dear, you're so adorable. 
Each moment with you, unforgettable. 

In all our minds, some flaws there are.
Undeniable expectations, ...

I’ve been so many places; traveled down some roads --
Mixed with a thousand faces where the Ganges overflowed.
I've crossed majestic mountains; walked some valleys too --
Tossed coins into fountains, but I never saw them -- till you.

I've traveled endless highways; left countless roads behind --
Walked...
