Elle, My Belle Ballerina
Not yet as graceful as the swan she shall be
but charming and delightful is Eloise to me.
Trying her best to stay en pointe on tiny toes,
focusing on pirouettes, she wiggles her nose.
Still a bit shy when she knows others are looking.
A few years more until The Royal Ballet's booking.
This petite ballerina twirls in circles all

Oui Elle
the cosmos slow maybe stop
unexpected passions flare-up
how soft to the touch this moment is
i swim in its nucleus but at a-crawl
absorb what feels like the universe
it simmers within me to a boil
immediately -uploading to my
flash drive my internal library
with hickory-shelves and -leather-bound books
with strong spines would stand the test

My Sweet Elle
I cannot speak her lauguage and nor can she speak mine
But that presents no barrier for we get on just fine
She knows when l am unwell and senses when I'm down
Then snuggles up beside me until I lose that frown
She loves me with no limits and purrs when I am near
Elle is my sweet fur

Elle Lee and Bumble Bee - Nursery Rhyme
There was a lovely child named Elle Lee
whose very best friend was a bumblebee.
They met one day in a field of clover
Bumble Bee buzzed and flew right over.
He was surprised to see Elle Lee's wings.
She said, "Faeries have wonderful things."
But Elle Lee didn't like her curly red hair
and covered it up so no one would

Elle To Abe
How cryptic would I have to be to get this off my chest
One score and yet it seems like yesterday it was the best
Most simple feeling that a girl could ever come to realize
A moment and a smile, gone and lost in big, sea-colored eyes
Ill-fated from the start, but gotta hand it to us kids
Who

Elle the Encounter
The radiation, the charm
His luck , natural
Like a broadband waves
It swept her instantly
His presence sent her to
A world of reverie.
Caught in a web of love
In her dream world, she
Was ready to give her
All ever flowing love .
like the river Nile, is to humanity
she saw him

Elle Amour
No Other Can Compare To The Sweetness In Your Smile.
I Breathe In Your Scent And Let The Fragrance That Clings
To Your Body Take Me To Ecstacy.
Your Taste Lingers On My Lips And Makes Me Quiver At The
Very Thought Of Your Touch.
I Draw My Fingers Down Your Body Searching Every Curve And
Knowing Every Break And

L Ia Ains Cy Rinn a Elle (Part Six)
From my pocket I draw forth my friend
The best of me
I have held her inside this moistened leaf of lily
Since the day I set down booted feet across these desert sands
One lifetime ago I cried a single tear and herein I placed
As it lay dying on the shore of years gone by
Across the breadth
