Eulogies penned in gold ink
Words engraved on granites
Images made into sculptures
Praises made into songs
None would ever be sufficient
Sufficient enough to tell how Wonderful you are
Got a heart filled with love immeasurable
Got words of tenderness
Eyes lit with passion unending
Mind of positivity and hope
Veins filled with burning fire to excel
Most Optimistic being o ever met.
Your breath ooze love and emotions
Warm and so comforting
Your embrace strangles my fear
And your smile melts away my travails
Whenever you say I'd be fine
I feel fine from that point on
Angel of our days
Blessings of this generation
Short hands filled with strength of thousands
Cute legs loaded with push to succeed
Little shoulder, yet can hold your head for succor
You're fearfully and wonderfully made
I celebrate you on this special day
This might come a bit late for sure
You're never forgotten and never shall be
Happy birthday to this lady that gave love a different meaning
You know my stand about you
You know my dream about your tomorrow
We shall live to see it fulfilled
Happy birthday darling
The hope and solution of tomorrow

So awe-inspiring is the night sky
Where a multitude of stars lie.
We can only guess how close these suns lay
Knowing very well every one of them is so far away.
They twinkle through the black of nights
Revealed more fully beyond city lights.
Do they have an orbit of planets
Of gas or more substantial with granites?
Are any inhabited by beings
At night also far-seeing?
Do they wonder, looking at our Sun,
If intelligence is there or if there is none?
Are they better stewards, than we of the Earth,
Of the cradle of their birth?
Hopefully, they very much surpass us
By not having a world damaged by greed’s lust.
I yearn we stop, but fear we continue our foolish ways
Soon to bring an end to our days.
Proving, after all, we're not so bright
Failing to see the light.

BENEATH MY SKIN
And I…
am as high as the nimbus clouds
floating aloft
And I...
am as low as the morning fogs
whispering mist
And I…
am as light as buoyant bubbles
reflecting hues
And I…
am as heavy as marbled granites
mottled mould
And I…
am as small as oceans sand specs
shifting unseen
And I…
am as big as majestic mountains
regal repose
And I…
am as sad as the mourning graves
empty tomb
And I….
am as happy as a child who plays
self assured
And I …
am as precious as crowned jewels
God’s child
BENEATH MY SKIN

I enjoyed wrapping my mind around his words
Stretching my thinking
At times coming unglued
Reaching towards oblivion
While keeping my feet in multiple worlds
Standing on sinking ground
While leaning on granites precious solidity
The substance of imaginations inconsistencies
Tugging on the heart strings of a well played heart
Wondering along the pathway of dreams long held at arms length
Hoping to understand
Taking that backward look while moving forward and upward
Words are his gift
Dropped like psychedelic bombs
Ripping at the fabric of convention
Pain wrapped in sheepskin
Joy pushed through pencils point
Leaving me in awe
Dancing and stretching along
Bouncing against his liquid walls
Till I come out the other side
Understanding
Landing
Blessed
More than I was before
Yet part of myself
Stays behind
Trying to catch my breath

we dance,we laugh,we share,we sing,
tomorrow is near,our time is up,and then we split
only time will tell what the future brings
either we are done we still meet.
those things we share through our together times,
are luxuries we behold in our hearts,
if only friends are like granites,
we keep them in our right hands and hold them tight.
i have some words for true friendships,
its as beautiful as a spaceship.
if only death can be skipped,
then we will choose to live without a split.

Sedimentary and metamorphic rock
From earths mantle or crust
Host of tungsten granites and diorites
Intrusive extrusive and hypabyssal
Of batholths sills and dikes
Eruptions of subaerial volcanoes
Continental crust
A pacific ring of fire
4030 million years old

There, down in the shadows, past that broken birch, before the deer path turns.
Yes there, where the footing slippery sinks, in soft crushed princess pines.
That's it, the peaceful place of dreams, sun speckled dust motes swirling
As memories of twirling dancing dryads surround that old worn oak
Back there and then and into when it all made maddened sense
Yes that's the spot we heard her break into a trot to hurry home again
I come back here just once a year and still remember when
The tears fell and everything just went to hell in present bloody tense
and at this stone I stood alone the butt of cosmic joke
There, down in the shadows of the standing polished granites
Yes, there, where the footing slippery sinks, in whispered princess pine
