Pen this in blood
Spitfire from rut
Lines clutched
Mind stumped
Rhyme on what
Leg with crutch
Make sense nah
Not interested
Art is nonsensical
Brillance adored
Relatable craziness
Straight jacket
Never unhand me
Juggle these words
Scrape droplets
Off the pages
Test me positive
For poetic insanity
Head to rest
Mind to sleep
Til next time
For now I’m beat
Have no idea what this little outburst was heh...figured I'd share it
Time's Of Many,
Wondering, .... So
Is Your Heart A Treasure,
I've Come To Know!?
Does The Sun Shine At Morning?
Will The Day Soon Depart?
Your Magic Word's On The Net I've Searched For The Brightest, Part!
Then, ... There You Are Like A Shining Star,
Beauty Full Of Might.
From The Screen To My Eye,
Your Photo Sent This Night
Powers My Spirit To LIfe
With Dreams To Be At Your Side.
Just Like The Brillance Of A Special Moment's, .... Fun
Your Radiance And Magisty Reach My Eyes As One.
All Spirits On The Line, Your Words Now Wake My Might.
Sentences Of Times I've Felt Before, Every Word Again Rexplored
Bringing Me Up High, Rising To Your Sight.
Lifting Me Forward, .... Forward, .... Tonight!
There is no more brilliance than a child
Who brings wonder and intuition into a meadow
Chasing the faeries we thought were butterflies
Ingenuity on speed dial.
I watch her carefully, soaking in her flair.
Loving her creativity as she builds a fort
Out of sticks, moss, twigs, and a cardinal’s feather.
Genius takes on a whole new meaning
She is resourceful and clever, she has a knack for greatness.
I remember being her once upon a time.
She is the king of the unicorns now.
I smile at her intuitive intelligence and her inspired genius.
She is five.
Qu'est-ce qui nous port tous les bonheur, surtout le créatif mécénat?
Qu'est-ce qui nous ôte tous les malheur, surtout la moral fange?
C'est ce brin de muguet, au début de mai, tout en arôme d'appas
Tout en sérénité il s'ouvre, tout en ordre il s'arrange.
Tandis que toutes les autres fleurs se rivalisent d'éclat,
A nos yeux leur coloris donnant souvent le change,
Sa modestie lui a remporté un distinctif vedettariat,
Moyennant le blanc le plus pur comme un ange.
Cent fois s'entend son chuchotement,
Mille lieues s'écoule sa douceur,
Résorbant pour tout le monde toute la dépressive rigueur,
Remplissant tous les coins de brillance et d'enjolivement.
Jalopy
J unkyard treasure discovered under a pile of worn tires held together with bailing wire duct tape and faith.
A ntique veteran of time traveled back roads before the miles of asphalt Interstate highways were laid still refusing to retire
L and yacht Titanic once admired by wanting eyes viewed now with glares seeing only your wounds of wear unnoticed is your loyal service
O pulent commander surrendering right of way to compacts and sportscars with reputations of low gas milage performance
P ile of sun tortured rusted metal past resurrection of a Simoniz massage to restore the brillance you once shined when your paint glimmered color
Y our perservance I rewarded with my grin of appreciation everytime the key turned in the ignition sparking life into your forever engine delivering me to another destination.
.
Jalopy my first car introduced me to street freedom a magic carpet with four wheels three on the tree my ride I'd drive with pride in my youth
Jalopy we journeyed teenaged smiling miles together never will I forget open roads with speed that beat the racing wind cruising just me and you Cruising just me and you.

I FELL INTO THE OCEAN
OF YOUR EYES
THE BLUE PIERCING SEA
I SOAK YOU IN WITH FEVER
YOU FILL MY PORES
WITH MADDENING BEAUTY
I CANNOT PUSH YOU OUT
YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR
TOO DEEP INSIDE OF ME
I SOAK YOU IN
WITH FURY
POISONING MY BLOOD
WITH YOUR INTENSITY
INTO THE BRILLANCE
WE FELL
I SEE YOU IN FOREVER.
Dark days absent from light.. Confinement, entrapment.. Darkness surrounds..
Sadness dominates..
The air consists of bone chilling cold.. Chattering teeth.. Shivering body..
With eyes closed I begin to float..
I am floating now. So graceful and peaceful.. With eyes opened..
There is freedom.. Gleaming light surrounds..
Happiness dominates.. Air consists of only warmth..
Body feels warm and toasty..
Absent of Darkness..
Brillance of Light..
Impaled embers forsook
damp crevices elongated
wide orifices inhale poised
pain wrapped in prideful
Splendor.
Sprint gallantly, reform
denying absorbed death
exhaling hope anew
evermore proved extreme
Brillance.
Spread wide softly,
overtake righteous screams
whisper mist appear brightly
Resilient.
Daintily she prances.
Dancing on tippy toes.
Demonstrating divine
Delectable movement.
Designed to captivate.
Devotees of best ballet.
Dazzled by her brillance.
Nellie’s Villanelle
She closed her eyes and dreamt of love refrains
As in a poem the words she chose to write
With words that flow with ease as steady rain
To emulate the famous bards of yore
She released the Muse from her inner core
She closed her eyes and dreamt of love refrains
Her constant struggle grappling with her brain
To find a verse despite her mental drain
With words that flow with ease as steady rain
Love has entered as her prose progressed
with mixed emotions such as joy and pain
She closed her eyes and dreamt of love refrains
The premise of the poem began with love
and altered as the mood began to wane
with words that flow with ease as steady rain
With brillance she has wrought a work of art
A Villanelle completed with her heart
She closed her eyes and dreamt of love refrains
With words that flow with ease as steady rain

WALK WITH ME DOWN TO THE SHORE;
ACROSS THE SAND DUNES TO THE
OCEANS DOOR;
HAND IN HAND WE STROLL TOGETHER
WHILE WET SEA SALT
STINGS OUR FACE; STILL WE WALK ALONG
THE BEACH IN SEARCH
OF TREASURES BEYOUND OUR REACH.
AS WAVES LONG BEAT, AGAINST THE
BROKEN ROCKS,
LEAVING ABSTRACT IMPRINTS ON HIGH
CLIFFS HEARTS;
ALLOW THE BATTERED ROCKS TO RELY
ON THE OCEANS WATCHFUL EYES.
LET OUR TWO SOULS STAY WITHIN THE
MIST;
FOR THE OCEANS ROARING SHALL
PRESIST.
SCREAMING TALE OF DISTANT LANDS,
UNSEEN RACKAGE, UNTOLD
SWELLS OF THE OCEANS JOURNEY TO
OUR BACK DOOR.
WALK WITH ME TO THE SHORE LINE
WHERE WE FIRST MET; EYE TO EYE;
SIT WITH ME, LOOK BEYOUND SEA'S
EDGE, GIVE YOUR SELF TIME TO
HEAR IT'S VOICE, VIEW IT BRILLANCE OF
HOW LIFE ENDURES.
SHE SPEAKS OF LIFE THAT SCREAMS
TRUTHS THROUGH SEA SHELLS
WASHING UP TREASURES THAT KNOW US
WELL;
ON THE SANDS OF HER BELLY.
AS WE FIND OUR PLACE AMONG THE
ROCKS; BROKEN HEAVY WITH LADEN
HEART;
WE TAKE A SEAT AND WATCH THE VIEW;
AS IF STEALING A SUNSET FROM A
FORBIDEN
VIEW.
BRILLIANT INSPIRING BREATH TAKING
GASP AS I LOOK TO YOU, FOR THERE IS
NO
OTHER OCEAN LIKE YOU.
A grace of desighn
You uplift the very presense of beauty
A monarch of the heavens
You kiss my spirit
Prisms of colors radiate from your tender wings
You are natures own sweet honey
Unbound in your transforming brillance and splendor
Lovely to the eyes, and home in my heart
Calm, comforting, cool as a hairy mountain
prominent for all to see
A mysterious mix of character, simplicity
and yet complex is he
Easy going brillance not forced as its
enhanced smoothly as can be
Friendly to the old and young a beacon so
bright
Surprising in his manner especially in jokes
unexpected
Comforting a presence an artist so
unrelenting
A force sorrow, sadness and sillyness
repelling
Even in name likened to honey
Friend and brother Oyin
