is a far-off lake
bordering six towns.

Moonshine at midnight,
Star dazzles glowing,
blessing my pathway,
bearing musings stray,
deep truce relating.

A happy giggle,
Like ringing of bells, 
Cheeks like rosy bush,
Child’s belly laughter,
Lilting brook in rush!

Shiny melanin
so incredible
brown goddess divine
tender, shy, happy
African and true.

She’s beautiful
adorable
queen of all queens

A bonsai tree glows,
sheathed with steady hands.
Palms reflect sunlight.
Green shades connect strength,
our roots to our leaves.

Fell in love dancing
On a sawdust floor
A beauty I'd met
In a Texas bar
Blue eyes, golden hair

For this romance
Two souls adrift

Ancestor of birds,
Of all hues and songs,
Quaint to imagine!

Hummingbirds gay,
Lost in the blooms,
Chatting macaws,
And wise old owls.
