Sitting separate intertwined in togetherness
Hearts raced until a single embrace
Touch was the remedy to one's anxiousness
A cool like breeze swept the room
The pace is slowed as the beat reduces its cadence
Warmth is now the welcoming of a new
Comfort has expanded and covered both individuals
No longer separate as the equation has unified
Different minds with similar thoughts
To connect on a level that most will never reach
Top shelf compassion
Blushes stain the face of the joyous one
Happiness grabs the heart and jolts the body suddenly
An indescribable feeling that can only be told through deep gazes
A mirror reflection of incandescent perfection

I saw all life fade ... merely pass away
of all that I knew hath spun around me
past brace presence death, carpe mortem day
Night hung in shame, weighed aim, promised Word--stay
I spun confused, afterlife, mine this be?
I saw all life fade ... merely pass away
Dark woke me, said the sun won't come this way
death seized day plus time ... Latin decree
past brace presence death, carpe mortem day
Night consoled by dark, a first solace sway
a dead-end sign that the whole world did see
I saw all life fade ... merely pass away
Dark ponders fate yon ... night watched black turn gray
questions ... guilt gift ~ solves ... smiles eternity
past brace presence death, carpe mortem day.
Night and dark ... eternal tenants obey
Eden ends formed founder's first step to free
I saw all life fade ... merely pass away
past brace presence death, carpe mortem day

I’ve oft noted on this forum, a hesitancy
To comment on poems acclaimed
Methinks the cause is our ego
Which is as yet untamed
Perhaps we seek an echo
Or makings of a virtual bond
But why not appreciate fragrance
That uplifts our soul with its magic wand

Poppyseed Princess with poppyseed lips,
Fragrant yellow piston, and beautiful hips.
In the wind, savoring her relationships,
Never knowing of my dream for her companionship.
I am a simply ugly marigold, gnarly and quite plain.
Recognizing beautiful, but my tongue I dare refrain.
If she knew of my love, would she turn away in rain?
I dare not speak, for my view I do not want to stain.
I am just a poppyseed, nothing to delightful marigold.
I study him quietly, his smile never mean or old.
A glimmer of a glimpse of a spark I see sometimes within his fold,
But men do not like aggressive women so I dare not be so bold.
So the smitten poppyseed and the marigold stayed like this until death.
Introduced again in heaven, recognizing each other with angelic baited breath.
