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 around
in her leotard and tutu or in her pink nightgown.
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 of time
many pages with more than a few
bits and bites of past experiences
our union warm lit without a doubt a part of me
you steal my lips bound to my heart as they are
as we link our
hearts-merge
in sync we say
“so this is love”
and indeed it-is
spend the night
safely intertwined in each other’s -hold
the first moment of our lifetime shared
armand ~
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 baby and oh so very dear
Written May 10 2022
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 stare.
Bumble Bee said, "Your curls are divine.
the same color as strawberries on a vine."
She took off her scarf and set her curls free
Shouting happily, "WHOOPEE! WHOOPEE!"

SHE MAKES PLANS TO BE THE FEATURED PERFORMER, WHEN THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO START, SHE BECOMES STUBBORN AND REFUSES TO SING. AFTER TEN MINUTES OF STALLING, THE EXCUTIVE PRODUCER OFFERS HER THOUSANDS MORE, IF SHE WOULD JUST SING, SHE BEGANS WITH SING A SOLO ACCOPELLO TO AMAZE THE CROWD. LATER, WEEKS LATER SHE ADMITTS TO BEING STUBBORN AS HER PRODUCER WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE HER TALENT, HER PLAN WAS TO DELAY THE SHOW FOR 15 MINUTES, BY STANDING STILL, IN FRONT OF THE AUDIENCE, BUT THE EXCUTIVE GIVES INTO HER, AND SHE BEGANS TO SING.
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 as her
symbol of unity, power
fulfillment, protection,
riches and freedom.
He was her Eiffel tower
Yes her statue of liberty
Whose real conception was
Changed by those who
Felt humiliated to see a black
Woman standing in the center
Of AMERICA.
So too she forgot he was
Still a mystery , a total stranger
To her.
These hills give
Life , protection ,assurance , love
Comfort , balance , warmth .
Hanging there always
To flow when need be ,
Changing when necessary ,
Prim o: Yellow,
Se condo : white.
The coming of the feeder ,
Is laborious, nine months inside the carrier .
Two hills they are,
The bond is instant ,
The binding force automatic ,
Designed by nature.
The feeder minutes old ,
Feeds from the ready flowing hills .
The romance transcends six to twelve months,
Generous proprietor ,is the hill owner to the feeder
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 Line In Your Canvas.
Your Eyes, Darker Than Amber Yet More Ravishing
Than Beauty Itself, Captivate Me.
The Shape Of Your Face And The Curve Of Your Lips Astound Me.
Leaving Me Speechless As I Beg The Rosy Colour And Smooth
Texture To FulFill My Wants And Needs.
I've Longed For You For So Long. And At Last With You I Breathe My Love.
She Walks
With
The sun,
Like a sunflower.
She is on the moon,
I see her every
Full moon.
She is an indefinables
Ocean.
I am following her
With the heart of an indefatigable boat.
