Fervent Desire to Find You
antiquated book with faded red cover
held together with glimmers of hope
words of Coleridge and Poe
found in the deepest darkest library corner
guarded by word trolls who scoff at rhyme
you are often sought,
others seem to have found you
I have glimpsed you but twice
you were always in another’s hands
I watched their faces glow as they read
you are the

Fervent Fresco
Sunburst sky’s spectrum the horizon’s brush smears
on jade meadow wearing dew diadem new.
Cradled by satin leaves buds blossom that cheers,
as petals dance on the crescendo of hue.
Beguiled breeze carries the fragrance as fog clears,
through its whisper butterflies fly in the blue.
The beauty of nature fills my mind with glee,
for spring creates a

Joy's Fervent Will
Joy's fervent will
A fire wind!
Days, running with leaps
Burning through.
That slowing up
Now within
Or for intenseness
Does abate
The worst to relate.
And all do!

Fervent Flare
In my arctic heart
perennial permafrost
freezes fragile emotions.
In your flaming fervor
glacial desire turns cinder
in the inferno of love.
In my blazing yearning
searing crave swirls
with fervent flare of fire.

A Fervent Wish
Simon says Trump is dead in the water
Perhaps keep his mouth shut, yes, he oughter
Fade into distant past
For peace we need at last
Perhaps he has a sensible daughter!

Fervent Prayers Makes a World of Difference
It has been frequently said, that fervent prayers make a world of difference!

Whar Art Mine Fervent Zeal For Marx Brothers
Whar art mine fervent zeal for Marx Brothers?
While figuratively trout fishing
for ideas to write about
analogous (hook, line and sinker)
idea wormed itself into mind with clout
moment of awareness arose
without shadow of doubt.
As a long haired pencil necked teenage geek
zany Harpo, Groucho, Chico ranked as idols
mine most favorite slap stick until I reached
cusp of early adulthood, yet

A Fervent Plea
My heart is all in; fully submerged in the depth...
of your heart's ocean. I'm all yours! I've lowered...
all my defenses. Let us walk through life together,
hand in hand; please never let go! Don't leave me...
teetering on the precipice of madness.
