wandering past the same tree twice—
would remit that one was lost,
but like a book,
maybe it’s the one you picked up again that you never finished,
but why didn’t you finish it the first time?
for what you seek lies past the spine,
but a great story should not captivate solely at its
departure,
for leaving one to sit through pain for a happy ending
is delusion.

Lovely strings hum a lullaby,
As songs of heaven angels cry.
Sorrowful roar of a horns sound,
To a death-defying place bound.
Somber flows the pianos rifts,
Over a plain of flirtatious shifts.
None relates to this lasting weight.
Glorifying ears that will captivate.

As the sun rises the sky line's
soft serrated edges spill vanilla cream;
a girl who is shrouded feels crystal flakes
on her face as she walks separate
from the group of students
within the milled land asleep still within a dream.
A tiny abandoned bird's nest
is revealed amongst a tree's branches
as the last few leaves are stripped;
the berries still cling...
the billowy clouds above glide away.
Birds later flit about the tree as the girl
paints their colors as her wings,
upon which the sunlight slides across a new day.

We look outward, here upon earth
Ego anchored, devoid of mirth
Fleeting joy that’s mirrored by pain
Bound head to foot by desire’s chain
Caught in a web, our heart did weave
Time’s now that we cease to so grieve
Conscience showing us path correct
That love aligned, we stand erect
Before each act, let’s take a pause
Discern if lower mind the cause
Mindful eye, thus always aware
Adroitly sidesteps ego snare
In timeless time, heart becomes pure
Resolve firm, each test we endure
Our consciousness, witness presence
Aligned with God’s omnipresence
Attention posed in cessation
Tranquil calm, our meditation
Magnetic currents pervade form
Invaded by benign bliss storm
Captivated by a love mist
We surrender; do not resist
Ceasing to size, we vaporise
In as ordained, God realise

Across wild blue yon,
Fluffy clouds dance gracefully.
Refined performance,
Like belly dancers shake on,
Captivate all visitors.

Ohhhh.... If only you knew just how I feel "Right Now".
All would cease to exist in your meager life and "You"
would come for me.
Not even the "Underworld of Gehenna" itself could keep
you from taking me away in your arms and freeing me
with your kiss.
Can you not sense that I am ripe for the taking....
as a sweet fruit well preserved, and yearning to be
devoured?
Gone are the days of valiancy, the days when you
rode hard and fierce to captivate what was yours.
Yet, "Right Now" only in my secluded mischief do I
feel the heat of your desire and witness the
power of your demand.
Today's world have made you a distant mirage that
"You" can not measure up to; and, "Right Now" you
are only a shell of your greater days of glory.
Disappointedly, I keep my eyes tightly closed
in my devised notions, for I do not want to
look upon your weakened form... "Right Now".

Let science captivate you
Just nourish your mind
Whether if it is physics or chemistry
Be the one who enshrines
The elements of the periodic table
Along with the electrostatic force
Will assist you a great deal
Just stay on course

For Timothy Lee
Sofa settled with my love and best friend;
content, I could stare at him without end.
I cherish our precious, domestic blend.
Lost in a book or television show,
he is often unaware of my glow,
radiating as I eye-drink him slow.
Even while in his distracted silence
my love for him beats a heart reliance
on even simple days of alliance.
Just staring at his face captivates me.
Glances to his hands raise my body’s plea.
Times looking at him, are times I feel glee.
We kiss-exist in domestic love gifts,
such as my elated, hushed staring lifts
while he clicks the channel and body shifts.

Let your imagination captivate you
As you turn the page
Information will sink in
And you will become sage
The world is an open book
When you feed your mind
Continue to educate yourself
And you will do just fine

You captivate my soul,
Leading me to every goal.
With you I can't go wrong,
Every breath makes me strong.
You captivate my heart,
Each and every moment from the start
Beating at each breath I take,
Pumping in rythrm, making me shake.
You captivate my mind,
Showing that I can shine.
In the choices I can make,
In the pathway I can take.

Captivate me, your eyes start to roll and I’ve heard that sigh once before,
Carry me down, their opinions gutter in the back of my mind and I’m lying here
buried on the floor,
I swore over and over again their words matter to me not anymore
Infectious details don’t enthrall the passion that we endorse
Captivate me, your mind starts to wonder what your eyes are beginning to see
Love I thought was lucid, it only matters what’s between you and me
I’ll love you down, deep into the ocean waves crash into what you want to believe
Lustful eyes don’t bother me, my vision isn’t perfect, but my heart’s still ruling
passionately
