Love
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Love approaches and does not scare.
Love bears and does not let go.
Love cares and does not shrink.
Love declares and does not shun.
Love establishes and does not tear down.
Love forgives and does not remind.
Love gives and does not expect....

Starts at 0:17
Lustrous words reach across the Miles
Tugs heart strings and makes one Smile

Speaks of Love and Starry Nights
Heavenly whispers - wondrous Sights

Invites one on those moonlight Walks
Orchestras serenade - sensual Talks

Stirs up passion and Stirs up Fire
Tempts one into this game of Desire

Zany Z’s

Zany zoo of zaftig zebras,
Zarnder manes, zebus with ziffs,
Zip through zawns, zigzag with zest
Wearing zories and a zoster
From too much zimstern, zabaglione and ziti-
Zucchini, zwieback, zeppoles, and zeps;
Zillion zitherns of zirconia
Zinging on zephyrs for the zazzy
Zemni zealous zeal for Zambonis,
Zeaxanthin zaps zinc zombie zones,

stir distant rumbles

  zig zag wink heat lightning's zaps--

Azaleas putting on spring frocks of
Beautiful shades of salmon or pink.
Calling bees to pollinate;
Delighting humming-birds with drink.

Everything is new in spring,
Fruit trees gorgeously attired.
Gardens turning up their soil,
Hoping we will be inspired.

I am the happiest of all,
Joyful with the sights and sounds.
Kerchief covering my hair,
Lifting...

Gone
After your last breath I was defeated,
Body, soul and spirit taken down.
Caressing memories became my new world,
Drowning in the past was solid ground.
Everything you did from start to finish,
Following me in my dreams so clear.
Great to know the time we had together
Harboured solace in my...

Her jack-o-lanterns flicker in the room
Bringing that eerie feel to those who look
The witch cackles as she stirs her cauldron
An evil brew which inside looks like gook

The smell is terrible, she laughs with glee
She knows what this potion can surely bring
A curse to an entire...

New Orleans summertime temperatures rise.
Mellow sounds of smooth jazz softly plays.
I drink mint juleps on these long lazy days.
It's sticky and too hot until it rains.

Drops fall gently, it's a glorious sound.
Dancing and spinning I tilt my head back.
Rain kisses my hot mahogany red parted...

With everybody often so late
I am on a war path with loneliness 
Been booed deaf by the lazy wail of curtains
And the chime of wall clock in recent days

Today I shy away from the beating
A gracious relief, with a light heart, eye carts me
Out of...

Cell phone zombies walking with heads hanging down,
Eyes fixed on a cell phone, not looking around,
Bumping into things they don’t want to see,
Never looking up at you or at me.

I look around and what do I see?
A room packed full of cell phone zombies,
And all...

[Limerick Sequence]

There's a sparkle of glee in his eyes
when he catches a glimpse of my size;
he scoots my way
to make his play,
but I throw him a look to demise.

My soft body lures him as a flame
and he hopes all demurrals will tame.
His move is quick,
his...

Sweltering summer temperatures
and warm sultry summer nights
left me scratching my legs red raw
I hate receiving nasty insect bites
 
I’d slather bare limbs with cream
that the chemist had given me
Bites are an issue that I live with
itchy red legs are quite unsightly
 
Every beach dress skims...
