Beneath the Lamplights We'D Borrow

when Winter's breath would fall away
the buds of Spring's birthing would climb
memories of yesterday stay
when guitars played along the lane
and filled our heart...

Old Lace
...Daylight slips in and out
of yellowing net curtains.
Sunny wafts semaphore the sky.
An old lady has planted
her mind in closets,
in drawers where
an off-white linen recalls

In the shine of the moon
Time starts to stalk
When midnight is now soon
Hands of the clock stop
Vision becomes hazier
A shadow is seen on top
Of the la...

Ventured out in the cold to sing carols at neighbor’s houses
Sometimes, surrounded by sparkling flakes under lamplights
Cheerfully singing our cho...

Amber Nights
...Amber Nights
The streets where I live are soft as rugs,
Lamplights of deep amber light them.
A lone, orange tabby trots on his way,
Nobody yelling to f'ind him.
The stars' eyes peek over...

...Life is all a blur,
the hopes, the dreams, the goals
wishes upon wishes whether real or imagined
illusions, intrusions, confusions
love's conquered...love's lost
exhalations, miscalculations,...

A whistle
A full moon
Feelings amassed
In proportions
Awesome and tranquil
Nighttime emotion
Become so serene
Just like those lamplights
And bedtime fans
Twirling in twilight

moving silently towards a sky's velveteen blanket and angels'silver gowns
By gazing over hills to where old count...

yet they sleep when dark morning bows

To an old time music hall.
Where gentlemen wore Sunday's best
And ladies; to the nines.
Relaxing in the saloon bar,
Exchanging pleasantries.
