When Sunset And Stars Shine On Sacred Ground - a Collaboration with Frederic Parker
My love, let us live this paradisal evening
dressed in wispy clouds of red
and tailored in strips of orange embellishing the horizon
where shades and shadows embrace your face
as the last glimmer of daylight falls
leaving a raptured sky of coral pink and red
enhancing your beauty in the twilight's glow
as your hair dances like tranquil threads
in the breeze

Love Letters Beneath the Moonlight - a Collaboration With Frederic Parker
My love for you
is beyond prophecy or endowment
and lay before you a love letter from the heart
beneath the moonlight's glow
where our eyes find a silent understanding
that embraces each passionate emotion
swirling and entwined in the depth of love
where our souls surrender to ardent desire
in an enchanted beguiling captivity
of lush landscapes and serene gentleness in starlight
as we

I bow to you with a rose in my hand
and hope you press it between love's pages
I will not assume nor will I demand
I'll promise to love you through the ages

with love no more than what we can dream

This Troubled Realm-Written With Frederic Parker
This Troubled Realm-CoWritten with Frederic Parker
When the depth of our soul embraces kindness
and is tethered to wisdom, this truth we learn...
only our hearts can free our own blindness
for it is a world of peace for which we yearn.
A place where no one has reason to shed tears,
an Earth in which the needs of mankind are

Words From the Heart - a Collaboration With Frederic Parker
These words of love I give to you, my dear
to have comfort in the stillness of time
and meld two souls to keep love's wishes near
when the length of the years and age will climb
I will be your knight and loving sentry
to chase away the darkness that appears
and protect our days from evil's entry
to guard these

When Our Eyes First Met - a Collaboration With Frederic Parker
When our eyes first met, in an evening's glow of twilight
the moon was rising, the world disappeared
I saw only you
we enjoyed a calm gentle merriment
as love's breath crossed the unmeasurable distance
where we found a glistening glimmer of sensual glint
no words were spoken, none were needed
your eyes invited an enduring treasured moment of created memory
which will

Poetry: a Profound Sense of Beauty - a Collaboration With Frederic Parker
In this wondrous world, we are bound
to the silent realms of our poetic souls
where white doves flutter and sighing words whisper
as dreams are dreamt with a heart's fervor
of unyielding desire which brightly burns
through the words of poetry
that capture the world's glorious glimmers
which slowly drips upon the page as poems
seeking a night's landscape
of wandering wishes beneath

Poetry, a Profound Sense of Beauty By Susan Ashley and Frederic Parker

The Ambiance of Amber Light - a Collaboration With Frederic Parker
I watch the rising sun of morning glow behind you
inviting my eyes to pause in soft amber light
which frames your beauty
warming my heart with a smile
bursting the seed pods of passion
allowing them to float endlessly... through my soul
pouring desire into the eyes of love
until they overflow and drip like dew from leaves
glistening in the sun

Frederic the Mad
When you are obsessed
With the great and good
What is right
And what is wrong
What is right?
And what is wrong?
Is all consuming
It permeates
Every though
Every action
Life becomes a state of thinking
Rather than curiosity
Or expression
And shall surely lead to maddening depression
Philosophize till clinically insane
A straight

Frederic Bio
Take my hand, walk with me.
I'll show you fragments from my life.
Its broken sidewalks,silently paved by broken souls,
their anger pent up from a world war.
I'll show you soft winters of a child and his sled.
The burden and frustrations of being a teenager,
in the sixties.
A President murdered,water fountains with signs,
blacks only,whites only.
Cities burning, gas rationing, fear

Frederic Chopin
Love soft music on a warm summer's night
A Piano Sonata by that Chopin dude
Nothing can turn my crank more than Fredéric
Sure puts this guy in a romantic mood
Surprised with my knowledge of the classics?
Fred and I go a very long way back
Grew up together, he was my very first buddy
Actually stole my sweet girlie, fancy
