Do you remember
when we left the baraylehan
early
at midnight
.
It was my alibi,
I really meant to
walk with you
I smiled when you held
my hand.
The nipa leaves
let go of the moon
as the music at the dance
went silent,
I kissed you.
The road was cold
the grass beside it moist
my heart was singing
and dancing
It stopped.

Crazy balloons for flying,
flowers eager to breathe,
tables tired from so much weight...
Cups wanting to rest
on the shelves,
voices complaining strangely,
night wanting to dawn already...
This is party, fiesta!

I don't ratify this fake party,
I intend to rid it of failure
to the glory...
I don't approve immobility
of our friendly relationships...
I wish warm beds,
and fire in love...
I don't appreciate life
painted in pictures on the walls,
Desire to paint the story of life...
It's not enough for me to contemplate
beauty sparse...nature dead !
I wish to expose the total beauty
which exists in everything... !

at summer’s end
sunrays do linger
lasting fragments
worth clinging to
days idle and atrophied
as we wind down
reflecting on waning summers
the paths we chose
inspired by our guides
the seasons wane
persistent aura
last shades of summer glow
sundown on our journey
as time recedes
the hush of nature at our feet
lethargic afternoons
treasured solitude
across open fields
our minds on pause
before the setting sun
feeling reclusive
nurturing thoughts
sheltered and secluded
leisurely reclusive
fortuitous and serendipitous
withdrawn a gathering of minds
pausing for reflection
an invitation to dawdle
enjoying last precious sunrays
their dwindling magic
while we ponder our good fortune
by reverie or by design
we hang on for dear life
to every hope we cherish

Banquet here
On island resort
Fun greets cheer
Where fancy casts lot
Sea of crowd
Swirl of new faces
Noise floats loud
Happy new traces
Time for smiles
Wonder seeds gaudy
Sensuous styles
Eclectic fancy
Joy streams fest
Decor in sure flair
Seize fond zest
In wedding affair
Buzz regales
Fusion menu fare
Catwalk tale
Watch frolic move air
In glad swirl
Banquet blooms precise
Apt moods hurl
Finesse flings surprise
Strokes breathe fond
Fairy tale ideas
Prize moves bond
Sparkle oomph streams cheer
Poise knows voice
In catwalk parade
Noise greets choice
In lovely charade
Tryst casts cheer
One of a kind night
Love floats dear
Craft of sheer delight
A prompt dash
As glee feels set free
Sparks now flash
In love's symphony
Hearts know art
A dream fable gift
Craft you start
As feelings uplift
Love moves each
As journey quest grooms
Joy binds reach
In bright floral blooms
Live fond souls
Love that patterns find
Twin hearts whole
Seize true peace of mind

Fiesta.
Feeling of excitment,
Festival of Christmas,
Frollicking I arrange,
Flavoured cake for display,
Framboise drink is my choice,
Flutist plays Santa's tunes,
Fragrance of love prevails.

We’re going on a break, R and R for a week.
It’ll be just my beautiful girl and me.
Plan on sitting on a beach, alone on a beach,
Just sipping some fine Chablis.
We’ll sit and we’ll talk about nothing at all,
Warming with the fine soft sand.
Slowly but surely kind of cooking ourselves,
Cooking until we are tanned.
Then we’ll wander in waves, vibrant radiant waves,
Getting hit, bashed, and crashed by the swell.
Until the end of each day when we’ll walk our way back,
Via pubs and cafes to our hotel.
There we’ll do what all loving couples can do,
And do it well into the night.
We’ll enjoy the calm dark, out by the warm poolside,
And do it in the moonlight.
Each day will begin with the slow hug, passionate kiss,
Hot coffee, and a warm bun.
We’ll be on a fiesta for a week at a beach,
For both of us a week full of fun.

Feel stillness here
In placid cheer
Know a sure glow
In hidden show
Come then with charm
As soul now arms
Calm fills the air
In subtle flair
Join in the stream
Dream upon dream
Wit knows fond fit
In random bits
Realise the truth
As heart seeds proof
Know that you know
More than you show
Poise follows path
Then works all stuff
Here on these grounds
Wholeness feels sound
Purge then harsh fear
Discern what's dear
Love lives fond tell
Just where you dwell
Here on this earth
Birth flavours birth
Join in the cheer
As joy endears

Feast then on voice that comes to show,
Intuit a whole with heart and mind;
Emerge with poise that charm now shows,
Sublime the soul that frames bold finds;
Touch a pure thrill as joy frees play,
Allow good times to bring fond ease.
Think of goodwill that floods this day,
Oblige each chime that offers peace.
Feel with your heart pleasure and pain,
Invest and see true craft that frees;
Embrace fine start in art most plain,
Sense what will be grand bounty's tree;
Take and give more so happy knows,
Ask from a core to fund wise flow.
