In winter, a warm cup of tea
Can be one of the coziest way
To warm up your day
Whether it’s a classic black tea
Herbal blends, or soothing chamomile
Tea not only warms you but feels even better
But also offers a comforting ritual of smile
Pairing it with a good book, reading love letter
A favorite blanket wrapped bodies love share
Oh, how lucky your life so sweet and dear.

Some people love to speculate
And conversate about everything
Whatever they perceive it to be
Or believe it to be an F & A
C & a T in essence they investigate
The things that they see
Like leave it to me
I'm connecting things
To escalate the escapade

Roses are red, and violets are blue,
I've been meaning to ask, would you like to come through?
We could go for a walk, or grab a drink or two,
And see where the night takes us, just me and you.
I promise an evening of excitement and fun,
Maybe we'll share a kiss if our hearts beat as one.
So what do you say, will you be my date,
For a night of adventure and maybe even fate?

Whispers of crimson poetry
Nature's gentle voice sings to me
Taking me on an escapade
Through the thin black haphazard
Nudging me higher with each grip
The words waltz in my heart
Artless fireflies on a spring night

A torrent of emotional joy
Hazy sunlight and an opalescent sky
a cool breeze that rests gently
In mystical circles,
where the swing gently swings
a myriad of wings of song
This also sounds depressing.
perplexing ideas in my mind
Sun loungers replenish and revitalize
It was poured in the shape of barbed wire
The floods drive the rest away
Cleanse the fragile soil of hidden lies
Making bravery out of openness
Dragons raze dwellings.
I heard the murmurs under the bare twigs
While scratching the sky, tears flow
from the dismal, boulder-filled sky
Torrid foundation with fall-leaf stain
Love kept me going and bearing
That is all. I had grown up.
A sensual touch may be quite relaxing
surely exude timid shyness
People will admit advantage of you
to persuade you,
They truly helped

Smack and stomp. Snatch and grab. In her mouth, cheese and mouse.
Trot, trot, trot, proud to bring captured rodent into the house.
Mother screams, yells, jumps on a high black kitchen chair.
Child follows suit, there is fear felt in the summer air.
Don’t put it down! The mother shrieks with concern.
The child laughs a nervous laugh that I soon learn.
It’s only a mouse, I say, with the strut of a man.
King Cat shakes his head no. He is not a big fan.
Come on! Please share! I say, holding out my hand.
There is a scream now from the woman of this land.
I give her a look and roll my hazel gold eyes.
She is not happy with me at all, no big surprise.
It’s only a mouse, I say, not terribly impressed.
King Cat wanders off, with a rush, truly best.
Only a mouse! The wife screams in a ridiculous way.
Unfortunately, her child learns this silliness too on this day.

At night our souls are free to roam
Rendezvous sans inhibition
Without confines fly miles from home
On divine clandestine mission
Do whatever souls delight in
Dance under galactic starlight
Serenaded by angel kin
Adieu we’ll meet again tonight

A long time ago I had an adorable pet,
his name I fondly gave was Billy.
He liked to lie on the sofa, dripped it wet,
I thought, of him that was silly.
He would never use the assigned place
where he was trained and supposed to pee.
Outside of the house nobody saw his face,
too lazy, inside he always wanted to be.
His insular way of life I didn’t at all mind,
too cute, I wanted him always around me.
With his constant presence I was entwined,
for he became an integral part of my family.
One spring, outside he started daily to run,
my heart broke when after a long wait
one night, home I didn’t find him return.
My neighbor said he ran away with his mate.

Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.
My love, let's turn our somber needs to young.
This sunny day's our escapade bouquet.
Let's play to stay life's cheer upon our gray.
This day's high lovely clouds are fluffy strung.
Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.
We two can scheme as leafy branches sway
or race-eat ice cream using just the tongue.
This sunny day's our escapade bouquet.
We'll frolic in fun streams with splash-slapped sprays.
Hummed melodies from nature will be sung.
Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.
Our playfulness we must not let decay.
We'll chase the day as giggles fill our lungs.
This sunny day's our escapade bouquet.
We'll lay on grass and let our fancies stray.
Adulthood tossed, our spirits will be sprung.
Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.
This sunny day's our escapade bouquet.

“Escapade”
The sun moves below the skyline
With gorgeous display
I look and theres Sandra under my arm
We kiss and make love
Right there by the waves
Her moans travel far out to sea
I feel that ive lost her
But then she does say
“You’re mine and I love you
So remember this day”
Years go by and we're inside from the storm
I ask her I tell her and I hear the waves
I still love you
I sayss
And baby I will always
Remember that day
On the beach of Hawaii
On our wedding day

Some stress had stayed
During the escapade
Usually my very best was gave
Even when chess was played
Below a stretch of shade
I ran into the next brigade
But continued on as a renegade
Before I had another glass of lemonade
I finally met the grave
And my flesh decayed
Because all was set to fade
It was soon known
There was no tombstone
Or runestone
Just a moonstone
Above the remaining few bones
And beside a lady talking on a new phone
As my soul continued to roam
Across blades of fine grass
The time passed
In my mind fast
While another lady sipped out of a wine glass
The light flashed
Above a window with a slight draft

A Trump Escapade
Have you heard about a Trump escapade?
About the women he liked and also laid
Was abusing and at times being brutal
And attempts to stop him were futile
All of his actions should be forbade.

In the air of discord, memories sleep
In the key of loudness, no one says a peep
In the dream of our imagination the spirits turn
All of our pasts and futures will burn
In the smoldering ashes, memories escape
With their eyes open wide and their mouths held agape
As they stare at the stars in the wide open sky
Their capes flutter softly as they keep flying high
Their fire glowing blue as they soar in the night
Their eyes sparkling green as they fly to new heights
The mountains and rivers quiver in their wake
The leaves on the trees began to shake
Because the memories began their new reign
Swearing never to go back there again.
