in every leap, a new world begins,
grace and poise in harmonious blend,
telling tales without words, messages send.

and for having read the words of people like Vicki Baum…a gifted Austrian writer

Leaves
There's nothing left of Autumn but the leaves
They swirl and scatter, meet then disengage
The moon puts silver footlights in the sheaves and turns the marble court into a stage
She draws the curtains when she starts...

powdered city girls(inspired by ‘Dusty Rose Dreaming’ by poet vb)
We’re powdered city girls heading into a club,
bright orchids entering the hothouse
spreading fun with noblesse oblige,
qua somethings suited for silver screens.
Our attention’s as uncertain as the stock market.

her first kiss
the arrow that pierced

The Waltz of Timea celestial dancer,
through the veil of existence,
paints the cosmos with hues unseen
illuminating constellations
auroras bow,
the moon dances to dawn’s blush,
twilight casting shadows upon the land
where miracles bloom.
Enchantress watch,
the universe bends to your will....

From the Felt"Lee, you awake?"
Yeah, sorry. "Where were you?"
Nowhere, my call? Fold.
Looking around the table, I couldn't have drifted that long,

The Price of Delayed GratificationThe price of delayed gratification
In the currency of patience, we pay the toll,
For the price of delayed gratification takes its toll.
We sacrifice the present for a distant gain,
Enduring hardship, persevering through pain.
