Abstract aspect of art,
Tiny tears on a tongue.
Lately our love is lost,
Advantage across affection.
Never normal nights,
Tension through thunderstorm.
Ink is on my index finger,
Searching for our sweet secret in a salt.

Tiny, fierce feline, three months old,
Unafraid of anything,
Energy galore, like a whirlwind she moves.
Sassy and endearing,
Delightful to watch at sleep or at play.
Adorable baby, my cuddle bug,
You have stolen my heart away.

Languishing within seed was a gigantic tree,
interned through genetic code by the almighty,
furtive, stay buried, to withstand time’s vagary,
ever can human tasks equal this mystery?
streams of ants, leaf flags,will not pause till job done!
Moon shines bright and white, travels over dark night sky,
year recounts seasons as earth spins around the Sun,
streaks of lights like meteors, stop! admire! firefly!
tiny pollens make fruits, invite bees with nectar!
eggs with flimsy shells! but withstand a heavy storm!
rivers hold million lives, flowing miles, mountains far,
innumerable are these wonders out us to charm!
each of us like specks of dust in this universe,
souls unseen tied to God, creation so diverse!

Beauty Is
Budding blossoms blooming
Enchanting emerald eyes
Autumn’s amazing abundance
Understanding that unifies
Tiny tots a-toddling
Youthful yearnings of yesteryear—
Inspiration’s
Secret sauce!

I can't bear the pain anymore it's hurts to much.
The doubts iny head get louder and louder.
I don't want to feel like this.
My fragile heart can't take it.
Wondering if the voice in my dreams is
Really you or not.
Do you really mean what you say? Or is
This just another game.
Is it just me that's the problem?.
Your make me feel love and fear at the
Same time.
Sometimes it is hard to breath the pain
Tell me now of it is a game.
Because I can heal with time and get back up again.
Its the lies that do the most damage.

Our Seasons are a blessing, as they also represent
the cycle of life- and Spring is our symbol of Rebirth.
A nother Spring did come our way;
B egan late March, and day by day,
C ontinued to advance and urge
D ear Daffodils to soon emerge,
E nhancing scenes with pastel splash-
F orgetting drab of Winter's ash.
G reen life came forth with varied hues-
H ad driven Springtime's wakened muse
I nto a frenzy of rebirth.
J ump-started seeds, beneath the earth,
K indly spread Forsythia bloom;
L et Crocus sprout from Winter's tomb.
M agnolia blossoms, pink and white,
N ext painted days with pure delight.
O ur Spring brought Pansy's vivid shades,
P urple Iris, Sweet Pea cascades.
Q uick to grow, Anemones,
R ounded buds on Dogwood trees.
S lowly, Spring displayed her gems;
T iny Snowdrops danced on stems.
U nder bushes violets grew
V anishing bleak Winter's view,
W ith colors painting the new scene.
X anadu, our Springtime dream!
Y early blessings, seasons bring-
Z enith of each year- our Spring!

Dedicated to Kyle, My Darling Son
Bouncing boy is baby joy.
Enchanting sky-blue eyes,
Adored so by my heart.
Undoes me when he cries.
Tiny toes and fingers start
Internal loving sighs.
Fascinated when his lips part,
Uttering endless, "oh my's",
Loving him, knows no "why's."

Winds whisper secrets with icy lips
Icicles hang like fingers from skeletal trees
New blanket of snow sparkles like tiny diamonds
Tiny snowflakes fall like confetti from heaven
Everywhere the eye can see is painted a brilliant white
Romantic roaring fire removes the icy chill

P act with wild love, suchlike riot act of flames on sun.
A ttract and magnify love, subtract pain.
C ontroling motions of sexual act, as I pact you overreact.
T iny sweet taste of vanilla extract, silencing your sensual
speech act,enabling the act of you being pact.
W et whispers.
I Intensified.
T angled poppets controlled by lust and love.
H ermetically sealed and pact, within you,forever loved.
B reath taking, leaving behind love in respiratory tract.
E mbrace, loving impact, created by physical act.
A lways rolling over,in my arms,after accomplished act.
U nder roof, breathing hot air pact with ecstasy.
T ingling after effects,pact with bliss of a kiss.
Y awning,we fall to sleep on clouds pact with contentment and
dreams pact with beauty.

BEDTIME MAGIC
Sprawled under nightscape of galaxy bright
Tiny sequins pulse on blaze of luster,
A beaded stars nova bursts on flight
Into a full-blown montage, the lawns flicker
Reams of tales climb on visions lit by dappled view
While children’s breaths gleam of fantasy hayrides,
And fairies jut out from chapters to touch the hue
Yearning to blend into a ladder that divides
The seashore from a skyline blushing streams;
On one unmentionable lightness of firework glory
Tinseled rhinestones kindle hopes of angelic dreams,
Holding a cachet of flowered moon for bedtime story
Enchanted, their mother blows a peppermint kiss
Staring at gems waltzing high up on glittered air,
Threads of her locks meshed by twinkles of lullaby bliss
As graceful nebulae cuddle sweetened hours, ever fair
Rounding her infants, wonders of night magic sigh
Stars radiant dip into eyes; winking good night, goodbye!

S tars like pinpricks in the sky
T iny beads of light shining so high
A rranged in a way just so
I ntricately set, this we know
R emnant of a great explosion
W ild arrangements, was it really implosion?
A rrayed in what we see as confusion
Y et all placed just so without exclusion
T hought cannot take us there
O mniscient power our thoughts ensnare
T he stairs to the stars we can only seek
H allelujah, hear the cries from the meek
E luding our striving to catch them our chances weak
S tars that twinkle we cannot reach
T he barriers are there we cannot breach
A s we cannot reach stars in the skies
R each I can the stars in your eyes
S tars that are mine I beseech
