"Within the scorn of death's hands you fell, through memories you rise again..."
memories never fade away
embosomed on a summer day
mind recalls the ocean's sway
over dunes where children play
reminiscent thoughts now honed away
in depths of mind, they'll always stay
etched upon my soul they'll lay
scantly rising by the quay

Tendrils fondle
the purple tulips
Sun sinks for a while
Clouds darken
the dense moment
of the amorevolous couplet
How sweet
the embosomed honey
Millions of cells enjoyed
A little tighter
Whispered the bird
Keen to break into shards
Just when
the lark would lighten
the loud call arrived
Dear Daisy
Where are you
I have fallen from stairs
Daisy freed her
from the clasped heat
Ran to help her mother
Victor looked
at roses in making
Stopped almost unbloomed

Fleeing, she's off balance by losing her slipper
Abundant vegetation of changing color
Laboring, the Royal King’s Sun adventures south
Life covers the land, embosomed by summer’s mouth

Please...do not look away…
I am more than what you see…
I have no claims or expectations.
I am more than innocence fleeing..
more than flesh and blood, but soul as well.
I am free of selfish wants, fear or greed …
I am like a fruit...on the fringe of fruition…
even though my skin is scared and dirty
beneath this frayed and tag-rag dress.
I am the essence of this land and place….
yet placeless…the mirrored gaze
of countless faces…reflecting the shine of my existence…
yet...I'm homeless in my home…without you today.
Can you say some words to me,
words born from your heart…
that your lips can proclaim?
Today, I left a message for you
inscribed within my eyes…the sweet of my smile.
and even though embosomed by despair…
these mere seconds of life... I celebrate…
no time to waste on bootless tears.
Oh how I long for the day when
we'll transcend these mortal constraints.
Until then... I'm but a traceless, faceless gem...
waiting for you to turn and see me.

You’re an enduring eclipse of quotidian winsomeness,
Existing in front of all others, compelling the aforesaid into your shadow:
My Beautiful One…
Surpassing their talent for beauty,
By allowing the world to witness your gift for it:
My Beautiful One…
Rejuvenating a word once relegated to becoming depthless,
Its affects near fleeting, Beautiful showed few signs of standing peerless as it once did,
Though within your presence, Beautiful is brought back to its quintessence, to its inception,
Shown the miracle it was conceived in, you’ve promoted its ordinance even over that of the beholder’s vision:
My Beautiful One…
In your arms, embosomed by you, Beautiful is free from its superficial cellar,
No longer just vernacular, the “B” word for pretty, or merely our lexicon’s adornment.
No, My Beautiful One…
In your face, Beautiful finally returns nature’s true reflection,
Your facial features burn incandescently and uncontrollably, fueled by a lifetime of beauty all in one place.
My Beautiful One anoints Beautiful with her grace, returning its virtue,
Granting it renewed potency…thought lost for always…

Reddening eyes of mine
Now thine,
Swathed by the unfurled truth, though
Embosomed by the darkness of
Disguise,
Now I shalt see what tramples
Inside…
Amidst a misty, ravening sky,
Convening ebony lies,
Contorting like rumbling thunder,
Veneering and shredding
The dark, cobalt portrait,
Like talons they
Imply…
Breezes of croons,
Swiftly they swoon
And lay themselves
Poised upon arid grounds,
They lay with empty sounds…
Swindling fear,
Void…
“Breathe thy power upon my skin,
Breathe virtue, breed intuition within…
Open my eyes… open my reddening eyes!”
“I have seen… I have realized…”
Ebbing void, Ebbing darkness,
As they fade into the mirror…
