with fiery gypsy spirit and romance;
with ancient Moorish history and grace;

...My mind traveled in Casablanca 
to witness a tale of love. 
Heart that yearns, desiderata,  
pleads to heaven up above. 

Give me one more chance for loving.

When past a comet sped.
Oh, how I wished I could

On a blue and balmy afternoon, as I lulled on my porch swing.

...If your apartment or your house
Could use a slight expansion,
May I suggest, instead, that you
Just build yourself a mansion.

Today I've toured a couple,
Both in Hudson River towns.

And I wanted to tour the mainland, after I had disembarked the ship.

As pink-orange, diamond sunset rejoins us, reminiscing sunrise impressions.

I preferred to live, rather, amidst grain-field-rats;
And black cats, all the more, have remained omens, bad,
To see one, is enough to turn the day so sa......

Sordid tales I can not hide.
I've logged some miles,they're on my face
And in the baggage by my side.
