A gentle breeze solaced by my langsyne
Enamored at your bonnie smile at first sight
I longed for time to see more of your shine
Flowed by your wavy smooth satiny coiffe an admired alight.
A beamish time reeled by your look so beauty
You prompted me to stay at grace
I saw you once again reveled by fancied eternity
Mizzled by sunshine and the rainbow that thumped my heart pace.
A memory though unsung seemed cherished by your sobbed eyes
Called for more purity, dignity and affections implicit
I bogged by the state of mind that appeared more of nighs
Implored by a wish to my ladylove a love that is tacit.
A captured sketch of yours by the words framed in ecstasy
Colored more with unspoken admiration, anticipation and temptation
I painted and I painted it without imagery
My ladylove a love for you felt today dropped by ambiguous destiny.

Halleluiah choirs of Christmas gone
Are fading with the passing year
Pray, remember those no longer here
Praise life with gleeful, New Year songs
Your heart be light, with Langsyne cheer
New challenges, they come upon
Everyone as time slips on
We come together, hearts on high
Yesteryear again has caroled by
Ending with a sad but joyful sigh
Another year presents itself to all
Reminding us how lucky we are to see the New Year’s ball fall!
Upon the breath of Auld Langsyne
the lips of new love locked in kiss
two spirits one, sweetly entwined.
My ears gone deaf, my eyes gone blind
in static of electric hiss
upon the breath of Auld Langsyne
The tickle up and down my spine
a moment captured, I'd not miss
two spirits one, sweetly entwined.
The bells of morrow ring the time
the chimes of midnight ignite bliss
upon the breath of Auld Langsyne.
Inebriated by love's wine,
the sweetest taste; it must be this,
two spirits one, sweetly entwined.
Tomorrow new, the past behind
while yesterday the chimes dismiss.
Two spirits one, sweetly entwined
upon the breath of Auld Langsyne.
Upon the breath of Auld Langsyne
the lips of new love locked in kiss
two spirits one, sweetly entwined.
My ears gone deaf, my eyes gone blind
in static of electric hiss
upon the breath of Auld Langsyne
The tickle up and down my spine
a moment captured, I'd not miss
two spirits one, sweetly entwined.
The bells of morrow ring the time
the chimes of midnight ignite bliss
upon the breath of Auld Langsyne.
Inebriated by love's wine,
the sweetest taste; it must be this,
two spirits one, sweetly entwined.
Tomorrow new, the past behind
while yesterday the chimes dismiss.
Two spirits one, sweetly entwined
upon the breath of Auld Langsyne.
Strands of Time
write upon the strands of time
with dreams I hope will all endure.
My past and present can't entwine
if morrow's threads are insecure.
A thread from yesterday awaits
the tickle of the present day.
and threads of morrow welcome fate
to braid into this living fray.
The fourth dimension cannot wind
the braids within my heart and soul.
No clockwork gears can ever bind
my life within such taut control.
No hands can circle round my dreams
and choke the hope with stiff demand,
as long as Morrow's promise gleams
from dreams I've penned upon the strands.
Another year shall soon conclude
another shall rest on the throne.
While braids of Langsyne weave into
this tapestry that's mine alone.
The hourglass spills the sands of time
the Trinity of time survives,
the past is me each thread is mine
to treasure as New Year's arrives.
