A French Sonnet
Bonsoir mon cher was all she had to say;
a world at war - so cruel to every heart,
a million lives now lost and torn apart.
Bonsoir mon cher and then she walked away.
We shared our tears while parting on that day
and every wish our language could impart
revealed the truth we both knew from the start;
our temporary space in lives delayed.
Though years have flown I still see her first glance
and lovely smile she shared when e'er we danced.
A war that roiled about us long ago -
the Allied crush that saved the lld-de-france;
Life's twist of fate that begot our romance,
until, at last, I knew we had to go ...

How good to see you,
Mon Ami.
At last me meet,
You and me.
Pull out your saber
Sharp and slender
Prepare to duel
May our hits not be tender
You coat is wet, I bid
Bonsoir
Good bye you fiend,
Au Revoir.
Your blade is clean,
Mine is not
All is seen
My blood’s still hot.

With the song of the crickets and ballet of fireflies,
the Louisiana moon has nestled in the sky.
"Bonsoir, mon amour", she whispers so sweet
while watching from above as we drift off to sleep.

I know You
I know You wouldn't leave
Who are You kidding?
Oh yeah I told You I don't need You
And You still stay
Kudos God
Very good
You should be very proud
I know that I can't have anything that
You wouldn't give
So thank You for that
Bonsoir

~Hanging in there is divine,
Feline, representative of wholeness,
Feline of fancy, I remind;
my Overalls be the proof of boldness,
my wall hanging is proof of goal-quest.
~Though proof is faulty at best,
duress not easy for one to concur.
Be patient as I confess;
though overall position hides Monsieur,(my lord)
divine, divinity is clear, ‘bonsoir!(good evening)
