When springtime lifts its sunlit gaze,
amid the foliage and silvery waves,
of a pond with scarlet gazebo
lovers swim lightheartedly
and Gaia’s song rings out among,
the nest-filled boughs of emerald trees.

Said he to she
dismissively
It's only
minor surgery
Said she to he
lightheartedly
Give me the knife
I'll play with your life

DREAMWORLD FIGURINES
Setting on a mantel…a doll.
Beautiful sculpture… achieved.
A surreal existence within…
Adolescent girls…playing jacks
Envisage tomorrow lightheartedly…filled.

What is it with this obsessive compulsion
Destroying every dust ball’s conception
In folks’ unkempt homes I feel no revulsion
Yet that offers me little consolation
For cleaning my own home is an addiction
Often resulting in great agitation
Exploding as an internal combustion
This behavior’s like a viral infection
My disorder leads to immaculation
I’ve dispelled all hopes of emancipation
For much to my own “clean freak” consternation
I still live in over-sanitization.
Entry for Shani Fassbender’s “Tell Me a Secret” contest
A “true obsession” probably handed down by my mother
who was lightheartedly referred to as the “White Glove.”
Mr. Clean was her role model.

A stilled summer sky saturated and scattered with god song
watches a way fared soldier - whispers to a wary widow.
Creamy clouds canopy the concord of a moment. Minutes become
mercurial - they manifest and meander as the seconds slip by.
Sailboats slice through streams of idle indigo.
A ripple somersaults and softly settles into serenity.
Cooing couples cuddle near clusters of cockscomb.
A lass lightheartedly leaps. A comely colleen crochets -
moment by moment - darning daydreams into days.
Parisians promenade past a proficient painter’s palette.
Social classes collide amidst color and contour and calm.
A smorgasbord of strangers isled and idyllic - spruce a
stippled sanctioned salver, as sanguine seconds smoothly
sweep past the subtle, symphonic swells of the Seine.
