Embrace the Love That Can Never Be

When we are deep into
a constant,
unrequited,
impossible love,
such a divine passion
is said to be most soothing for pimples
and bunions.

Also,
as incredible as it seems,
a secret lover that you have no hope
of ever knowing or meeting -
those kinds of romantic fantasies
will totally banish kidney stones
and chronic melancholy.

Medical science agrees with scripture,
that the ridiculous and utterly unlikely,
can jazz up your libido, and add vim to your
most innocent of sins.

You can now date late at night,
while your partner beside you
dreams of making love
to some movies star or other
without any guilt.

Unfortunately,
a delusional broken heart
still hurts.

when the sun again do rise

O when the sun again do rise, 
    ‘nd you with emerald eyes,
think not, of me, in ways kind; nah!!! 
greet me as in throes; heeded greed perch’d  
    awin’ lecherous pine,  
dip me amid rude imaginings, vile; yet fine. 
think me ogre vying funsy peachy hind, or pig, 
  scoundrel even, lathering sweet pinkish chime. 

O when the sun again do rise, 
    ‘nd the sky had yet to surmise,  
before the clock boom a cry, not in vague lye 
nor spurn form’d pulsating stalk.  
   not in wholesome gown be robed; jazz-up racy talk.   

if ne’er, do, when heat fills the bust,  
    unfettered lust dine, thus,  
does truth of  bliss cum, midst the two of us?   

O when the sun again do rise,  
   ‘nd you with emerald eyes, oh let’s not do find 
exhaustion’s unclothed musk odd to us.

Dance

They danced as if they were the only ones at the outdoor concert.
They were challenging others to join them.
There were chuckles in the background as they "jived" up a storm.
But there were also cheers of "way to go" from other onlookers as they
watched in amazement as these seniors let loose and did their own thing.
It makes you wonder, what is so surprising about embracing life
as we get older rather than let it slip by.
Let's learn from the senior couple who frolicked in the park.
Jazz up your life.
Try a new dance.

Clothespins

Years ago, in Holland,
In a cool, eclectic store,
I bought a set of clothespins
To jazz up my home décor.

Of brightly colored wood
And smaller than the average size,
I pictured them with photos
Hanging like a sweet surprise.

My plan did fizzle like
The best-laid ones of mice and men.
I tucked those clothespins where
I haven’t seen them since back then.

Until I started washing
All my laundry in the sink
And hung a make-shift clothesline
Using – well, what do you think?

My cheerful little clothespins,
Which have waited all this time
To be used as they were meant to
And immortalized in rhyme.

Striped

Zebras and tigers and lemurs’ long tails
Have stripes both distinctive and cool,
As well as some convicts in old-fashioned jails
Who wear black and white stripes as a rule.

The American flag and a barbershop pole
Both have candy-candy stripes white and red,
While some p.j.’s and blankets and sheets have the goal
To add stripes that will jazz up your bed.

Lots of clothing is striped – shirts and sweaters and socks
In all colors, both vibrant and plain,
For in nature or otherwise, stripiness rocks – 
Sporting some, much attention you’ll gain.

Silence

Keep still then
You know when


Feel fronts fest
Jazz up quest


Feel touch still
Fund new feel


In the gap 
Brief soul map


Heed the hint
In clear mint


Space to face
Touch of grace


Time stops here
In soul sphere


Death meets life
No more strife


Last light dwells
Just to tell


Down play noise
Sense pure poise


Wind blows strange
As chimes change


Feel odd lot
Know no thought


Blank feels good
Cruise blank mood


Drop down fast
Here at last


Know you know
What light shows

Resolutions

Strange odd fit
Jazz up wit


Some lost strain
Frame new grain


A new page
Words work age


Fit odd wit
Paint stray bits


Spice new gain
Purge old pain


Brand new year
Purge each fear


Notes to me
Start fresh see

Wise Words

Here for a while,
Jazz up fine touch;
Joy in sure style
Moves love as such.


Glimpse how cheer grows,
Hope sculpts sure feel;
Faith seeds fond glow,
Fine grace now heals.


Wise words now fest
With happy moods,
Watch how pure zest
Mellows fine good.

Star Stickers

Some teachers once used stickers
To reward a super grade.
Originally, star-shaped ones
Were all the ones they made.

My grandson's potty-training, too,
Involved those stick-on stars,
Which also were exchangeable
For varied Hot Wheels cars.

His younger sister somehow
Got her hands on quite a few.
Despite her age, she right away
Knew just what she should do.

So now I'm finding, on her chair,
The cabinets, the floor,
A galaxy of shining stars
To jazz up the decor.

My Story

Meet my story through joy and grief,
Glimpse now clearly that sparkle brief.


To each a path to journey far,
Bear smooth and rough and live on par.


Dare then to be your dream come true,
For what you see you live on cue.


Be brave and bold and dare clear dream,
See love unfold with poise you stream.


Take the high road with zest and fest,
Jazz up your load as love funds quest.


Own the story with tale you tell,
Sync fine beauty and cast your spell.


Now and here know the way shows up,
Let truth find flow in your own cup.


In brisk strokes clear the years fly by,
Lavish fond cheer moves lows and highs.


Stretch my story sheer lines of oomph,
Purge all worry and let jazz zoom.

A Christmas Sonnet Acrostic

"Christmas Magic"

Christmas scent hovers in the air
Holly’s dangling off gates and stairways
Raspberry pie sizzling at the oven glare
Icicles jazz up the hues of heaven rays 
Santa ‘s climbing up chimneys with a grin
Tucking kids’  dream with Noel fantasy
Mary is giving birth to redeem human’s sin
Amazing grace  breaking down grey apathy
Silver  tree branches smiling at the crowd

Marveled at the sight of the dancing flakes
Attached their hands, falling off the cloud
Gracefully landing on the frozen lakes
I am in love with Christmas ancient magic
Cuddling up by fire, tasting memory nostalgic

Laughter

Wear a sweet smile
Joy fits your style


Learn how to laugh
Live happy stuff


Sense heavy frown
Think of a clown


Laughter fits face
Feel touch of grace


Work a fine wit
Let pun now fit


Laugh with sure zest
Jazz up your fest


Learn to hurl jest
Wit loves the best


Glow with deep style
Live a sure smile


Happy knows how
Wonder lives now


Fashion good cheer
Live laughter here


Let sad be brief
Let joy purge grief


Laugh loud and clear
Live without fear


Joy knows happy
Laugh, be merry


Cheer feels sure joy
Watch joy employ


Laugh more and see
Truth funds beauty

Crazy

Come to know proof,
Reach deeper still,
Allow the truth,
Zoom on goodwill,
Young is the sight.
Dream can come true,
Align with light,
Zeal flows from you,
Yes do the dance.
Jazz up your fest,
Ask for and chance,
Zest funds sure quest,
Zoom in or out,
Your humour shouts.

Picturesque

Play follows play in fits of joy;
I feel the surge of precious waves;
Charm fronts the day in fine employ;
Trust frames each urge in antics brave;
Use abstract art to help you see;
Reach deeper still to sense surreal;
Embark sure heart and claim beauty;
Speak bold goodwill and make things real;
Quickly now seize the moments here;
Unlock the chance to light a spark;
Exploit fond gist to sparkle cheer.
Jazz up and dance to blaze fine mark;
Open to truth that ever shows;
Yes see clear proof in healthy flow.

A To Z Funds

Aim for your goal, aim for your poise;
Be who you are, be of fond glow;
Charm speaks of soul, charm wears sure voice.


Do weave your thoughts, do word your song;
Etch dear fine star, etch style you know;
Feel surge of plot, feel work made strong.


Give joy full range, give play a chance;
Heed waves that please, heed touch that stays;
Image crafts strange, image signs dance.


Jazz up your zest, jazz up your flings;
Keep up with ease, keep up with play;
Live well your best, live what love brings.


Meet all you face, meet all you touch;
Note how you feel, note what you think;
Opt for clear trace, opt for cheer's nudge.


Peace comes to steer, peace speaks of grace;
Quest lines and heals, quest fits new links;
Reap waves of cheer, reap sense of space.


Sense a new world, sense a grand calm;
Trust heart to know, trust mind to learn;
Urge serves a twirl, urge spreads a balm.


Vouch for each day, vouch for sure stay;
Wisdom funds flow, wisdom now yearns;
eXcite fond say, eXcite free play;
Zeal ever glows, zeal ever earns.
