I’ve seen it, late those myriad afternoons—
A twilight blush, first waiting patiently
to welcome back your scintillating beauty,
next succumbing to your mild midnight swoons;
Your sapphire eyes then gleamed as glowing moons—
Though here facing me, near enough to see,
distantly they shone, reflecting the glee ?of more divinely animated tunes;
Yet, stretching out, I could not seem to reach
your spirit, could not stir your astral soul.
With the stars, glittering light-years away,
you were much too remote for wordly touch.
O me, what fool such a faraway goal
would chase? Was it not wiser home to stay?
I AM OF HIM A KINGDOM HEAVENLY BODY-Dedicated VERSE FOR SHASTA SIMMS ANTHOLOGY 2
The color of purple, is blue;
The meaning of love, is you;
You are the air in me;
I am the fragrance entirely;
In truth I am of you;
Chorus I am yours, you’ve created me heavenly
I am shaped by your hands man and woman
Kings and Queens to rule have dominion over these lands;
It’s your purpose, your will, your plans
I am, your child, I am your heavenly body
The skies in my eyes I view;
In richen by your creative hand construed;
In awe of the pleasantness;
It’s I in you nature caress
I am bless, not pressed;
ChorusI am yours, you’ve created me heavenly
I am shaped by your hands man and woman
Kings and Queens to rule have dominion over these lands;
It’s your purpose, your will, your plans
I am, your child, I am your heavenly body
The meaning of love, is you;
You are the air in me;
I am the fragrance entirely;
In truth I am of you;
All that I am, I am of ALL I AM
So a soul that I am, a HEAVENLY BODY

Near stillness midnight
Unblushing star whispers
Its name through the trees
