She's Beautiful
I know a girl
That's pure beauty to see
Won't mention her name
As I feel there's no need

You'd know by her smile
Her sparkling eyes
The way she celebrates
Every aspect of life

Spending her day
Grabbing hold of the reigns 
Taking the good thoughts she's got
And giving them all away

The way...

Premium Member I'll Always Remember
I will always remember the moment we met.
(Haunting woodlands in springtime, your slim silhouette)
The glint in your eyes sparked a tempest at dawn
overwhelming the dreams of a slumbering fawn.

I will always remember your singular smile
(Fusing fantasies, fancies and phantoms the while) 
when I brought you...

Misdemeanor
MISDEMEANOR 

A soft lisp runs through blonde summer grasses,
shoving at kites or the hems of long skirts.
Umbrellas and hats stir as it passes, 
jumbling at picnics, it teases and flirts.  
It picks up speed while playing with Marty, 
and takes his land legs as...

Premium Member Catch Me Wind
Wait ... please wait
Do not let me fall
Do not let me go yet
I am not ready at all

I watch for the sun
Is leaving so soon
I watch for the rise
Of a harvest moon

I watched from above
A summer and a spring
Destined for a winter
Not as a living...

Unpurged Sad Memories
I am but an unsolvable puzzle,
A strange enigma of shattered pieces,
Mute, voice restrained by an iron muzzle,
     Dreadful as despair slowly increases.
     Fragile feelings and thoughts,
     Scattered around like dots.
   ...

       Dream in hues of blue!
       Climbing celestial heights.
       With silver, satin ladders in the Spring arms of the night.

Who Am I
Who am I Lord?
you knitted me so intricately
but I do not know this person
who is she?
Give me eyes to see
the beauty within me
each tousle of hair
every curve of my body
You shaped and molded and designed
so carefully
I am uniquely me
another one there could never be
your beloved...

Premium Member Divine Vision
Silently, my breath aligns chi centers
as I reach a dazzling state of harmony ;
when quiet, murmurous  drift brings  me
to corridors of an unknown  vortex
beyond ceiling of  stars  arcane, where
a  swirling trance  pervades my essence...
 the howl from ...

* death is a process of many stages, and dementia can be one of the ugliest … Dad taught me many lessons in life, and he fought to the last to retain what sensibilities he could. I miss you, RT. *

Going Home
Tightly braided
With tears of doubt
Fearing tomorrow
If Pete’s not about

To comfort her sorrows
Or tousle the hair
Of the children she bore him
Days past tense, days fair

Or will she stand
At the dock
Waving fondly goodbye
Knowing he’ll see her
Knowing she’ll cry

Then someday when children
Have families, are grown
She’ll meet Pete at...

Rain
my parched eyes watch torrents of rain 
lashing the glass windows
of my chic office on the seventeenth floor
can't hear the tinkling of drops 
or rumbling of clouds though
the sound obscured by engineered acoustics

I shut my eyes and it comes singing to me-
the sound of dripping...

Monorhyme On Leadership
All leaders are enough capable
To remove problems analyzable;
They set few goals achievable,
And strive to solve snags tangle.
Ready to meet challenges triple
Without any hurry or hustle.
Calm in disasters are as a temple
Faith and hope run apprehensible
In them, and are always adjustable
With all – top to bottom...

Sisters On the Beach
Chauffeur drove us to the beach for a stroll
to get some air, fun, sun and sand
I remembered to carry my favorite red parasol
so my fragile skin doesn’t burn orange

Mary, my sister, went to her first ball last week
She looked so forlorn every day since then
Today,she...

A Quirk of Nature
This quirk of nature has no definition, formless.
Boundless, yet gravitation it pull us together.  
Ties that bind in chemicals and sensory receptors.
The limbic system, amegdela, primal carnal.
Holding no preconceived notions form whom we shall yield it up to.
Lift up our cup to allow, 
Lips...
