Youth Won’t,
always make you prettier than a speckled pup,
just as maturity doesn’t make you a hound.
When a zestful attitude ensconces your cup,
it’s to this heart seepage, that you’re bound.

Delicate hands sweep over the strings
Stirring chords and melodies meet,
The harpist gently plunks and pings
Producing music soft and sweet.
She does not smile, concentrating
On the nuances of each crescendo,
Tenor of the performance elevating
Each measure a startling innuendo.
The climax brings a stirring rush
Exhilarating orchestral responses
As over the audience falls a hush
The music its hearers ensconces.

"Black Diamond Night"
an eerie essence embraces a haunting mist
on a black diamond night as illusions unfold
deep ebony sky infiltrates lovers kiss
excitement permeates viewing an orb of moongold
a sequined box reveals
an onyx stone conceals
carats tempting eyes
engagement ring surprise.
the mystic dazzle beckons shards of dusk twilight
the tender moment magnifies the fever of lovers glow
immersed in ecstasy at chiming of midnight
the diamond dust ensconces dreams of radiant fond flow
blackness transcends to white
dark night is sheer delight
proposal beneath sequined passionry
black diamond dances on in finger fashionry.

Youth can't make you prettier than a speckled pup
Just as maturity won't make you a hound.
When a juvenile attitude ensconces your cup
It's by this heart seepage, you're bound.
