White roses stand in subtle elegance,
A light breeze stirs awe of tasteful fragrance.
A marriage under a spreading old tree
On a grassy lawn, edged with trellis-free
Ambiance kiss of fallen amber leaves,
A continuous aesthetic spins and weaves.
Standing on
Giants shoulders
Always play with rife
Chuckling at misfortune
as it waltzes with my life
Twits twist
The mite of time emit
The muppet shows
Dribble lines of made up
Words sentences star
Tin other sent
ten cessations
Put your finger within the space
and become part of my verse
Everything reverse in
cart before the horse
I don't write poems
you just read my thoughts
Ultimately before the day
The darkness gives away it's quite
At the dawning of the day dismay
Darkness hides behind its plight
Bright is the sun light
The sun white yellow glare
Trapped in the brilliant solar light
The darkness totally gone no longer night

Emit no evil, hearken!
Men of the underworld
Inflict pain, invite the wrath
Things fall apart, the doom's day looms
Nemesis swings into action
Oust every explosion otherwise...
Emit no evil, hearken!
Vampires of the universe
In a short while, gone the time
Let go of evils, offspring of the devil
Live for humanity
In it abounds ebullience
Vacate every fiendish introspection
Eschew evil, limited time have you here
Over the course of time,
Not again shall your presence remain
Then thy legacy speaks
In every village and municipal
Making such exit agonizing to all souls
Emit no evil, limited time have you here

My earliest memory, it certainly seems, is something I don’t want to boast.
Cold, lonely and dormant and finite and boring, I grew tired of playing the ghost.
I pondered and wondered and questioned myself. Was this a fruitless endeavor?
It’s about that time that I realized, that time was meant to be clever.
As the sunbeams moved and the cosmos proved, to give, I had nothing left.
I regarded in awe as it started to thaw. I recoiled, retired and wept.
I’m spread too thin, through out the cosmic winds; I struggle to hold my grip.
For a thin spread fabric pulled too tight, is surely destined to rip.
Now all for one and one for all, has always been lost in its meaning.
But as time charges on and all matter is gone, the hope will still remain gleaming.
I leave you with this, last anecdote, May you cherish it amongst your lore.
I never invented happiness. The choice was always yours.
Time, the divine
Touches, tickles, and caresses memory of present-blind
So nice, so kind
It is what makes them so blind
Replay
Reminisce
Melt within your mind
Fast forward or rewind
Hope it is bliss, in which you, yourself, and you find
Ravel, Roll, and hide
The unpleasantness inside
Leave the place now forgotten
Fly from fear you childish stork
Flee from where past and present do fork
Currents that now do turn can stain a soft face with paint so stern
The illusion time
And time the illusion
The composer of a blinded minds delusion
Notes weave sweet symphonic confusion
Essence of infinite profusion
A lovely sweet escape
A delayed bitter contusion
