Shadows dance, moons embrace.
Soughed sounds of human wishes in the wind alight,
dreams enlace.
Truths with tales,
sagas fall from firmament night,
time scales.
Mind fun,
echoed insight,
spun.
Shadows dance, moons embrace.
Sagas fall from firmament night,
spun.

To what do I owe this pleasure dear Sir
I'm seriously longing to bid you hello
if you were the Sun in my path, I'd confer
before the last ray of night loses glow
I'd guide you to roses of beauty and grace
then write you a poem in eloquent style
by a waterfall fountain we'd sit and enlace
while the sun shines above all the while
May I lean on your shoulder and may I draw near
for a sweet little sonnet of love and romance
can we sit in the garden where roses bloom dear
and soak in the beauty of a morning's, slow dance
To what do we owe this rare moment of day,
perhaps to a glance, from a heart throb away.

trials & temptations
life's leaven
twenty-four seven
my nose pressed flat
against the sweet shop pane
a yearning
welled within
a sigh
a shrug
I shuffle off
childhood was rationed then
where
apples overhang
the orchard wall
sun-kissed draped
now about to fall
in
hedgerows ablaze
with succulent sweets
will-power
melts
in a crumble
temptation's face
with whispers
so often
ensnare &enlace
allurement
in her glance
a come hither
perchance
away away
I'll not play
begone
deceit
false words
go go
let not
my ego show
depart depart
I'll not listen
....today
In the glow of the moon
I’m spellbound
as her eyes of green shine bright
causing my heart to swoon;
love abound,
filling fantasies with delight.
Those bedroom eyes beckon
my passion,
longing for warmth in love’s embrace;
together hearts reckon
in fashion
becoming one as souls enlace.
Her whispers awaken
my desires
as light beams down from moon above;
caresses leave me shaken,
lighting fires,
as bedroom eyes beckon love.

You trail the parkway with your grace
Lusciousness of weeping willows
Gentle breeze with sways and billows
Surreal beyond commonplace
Lavish greens beckon and entice
With promises of paradise
You reach out in a strong embrace
Seductive alluring sultry
Hypnotic brush of artistry
Much how a mermaid would enlace
Take our breath away with her charm
So coyly beguile and disarm
And to reverie you give chase
Somersetting and minuetting
in this most idyllic setting
You trail the parkway with your grace
Surreal beyond the commonplace
You reach out in a strong embrace
Much how a mermaid would enlace
And to reverie you give chase

A face is like a case
From place to place
A lot it can showcase.
When with anger you enlace
The face becomes a fireplace
Its fury away it’ll chase.
A face is a voice
It can wail or rejoice
What it talks is your choice.
A face is a staircase
It catapults to the airspace
Or drags to the base.
A plain face is an empty vase
On it nothing you’ll trace
Such is out of place.
Be full of grace
With bliss lace your face
Let all embrace your face.
Let's touch base with a thing called Grace. Something we no longer embrace, Instead we're trying to replace with this meaningless rat race.
Now Grace you don't have to chase, just retrace, you'll find it's your birthplace.
And it use to be showcased even in the workplace but now it's being erased and replaced with disgrace.
So we must put on a bold face, replace and enlace with Grace until it becomes commom place.
Be an ace join the race to bring back the wonderful face of Grace.

Little lady, with face so blue,
What is it that you cannot do?
Did Mommy say the awful no?
Did Daddy say you cannot go?
Why is all the world against you?
Lovely girl, always number two.
In all the things, you try to do.
So many things you do not know.
Little lady.
Beautiful girl, I will save you.
Pretty face, shades of porcelain blue.
Enlace our hands and we will go.
To places far that you not know.
There forever I will love you.
Little lady.
