Batteries
When my batteries run low
My cogs screech, the spinners
And my eyes grow dimmer
And I'm walking numb
When my batteries run low
Their double A selves
Marked with gold and black positives
Or silvery white negatives
A living ying and yang
For the future, past, and present
When my batteries run low
The water evaporates me
And overwhelms me dearly
And I'm living numb
When my batteries

Dearly Bought
Wielded
like a
loaded gun
His phone
was thrusted
forth
Proof
of what
I knew
was false
Refusing
all
discourse
Armed
with but
an empty
tweet
Chosen
by a
bot
His mind
was trapped
inside a myth
Whose fiction

Missing You Dearly
I will never ever stop missing you
I will simply learn to live
Keeping you inside myself
The huge void that your absence has left
I will be missing you dearly
I'm looking you among the stars
Searching you the shell among the sand
Finding the pure rose among the flowers field
In dreams, I wish we will see and meet
In reality, hoping

Love you dearly, not your lovely mess
I love you dearly, in ways your little foibles can never deny,
With your laugh, your smile, the bright twinkle in your eye.
But when I see your clothes strewn all askew,
Perhaps the smitten, has bitten off too much to chew!
The dishes pile up, the socks are everywhere.
The clutter expands to chaotic mayhem in which I despair.

of silence
in the red-eyed night,
morning likewise in quietude
until the incessant dirge of Poe, the bells bringing
down the house, and in the garden, an eagle…

I love you dearly
In a very, special way;
Heavenly sincerely
Evidence it’s so clear

Dearly Beloved
"Stars don't shine, they burn",
so is the twinkle in your eyes.
You, born to sparkle, glisten in life
stand out from the crowd,
predestined pride.
Sheltered from birth,
for not all were meant to witness your soul.
You, of honour and determination,
ambitious with precision,
soar dear child.
May goals align, 'til Kingdom come,
protect your pearls,
passion flows from pure intent.
Remain a child of

Dearly My Lady
Loving you lady, is more than divine
You light up my life in a radiant shine
You gracefully go in the gold of the day
To follow the flow of a bold river way
Your lips are the dells of the wells that I drink
The pink in the blues of the bells in my sink
The sweet summer smells in
