grassy knoll, a maiden, 
her lovers' temptations
of the past.  
Amidst a silky
silhouette, a dainty stroll
flaunting a crimson masquerade.

"Your invitations of subtle romance,
be they adventurous, unfulfilled,
shall we not exchange vespers?"

I relish sparring repartee of clever quips...

Particularly, when voicing and/or
writing bon mots doth betake
chuckling clownlike me 
rumbled stilled skin,
and e'en rouses 
this mummified corpse
(asleep for bajillion years) 
among sleepers awake,

whereby his eloquence usually finds me agog.

Most restful sleep since... being in utero

ousted me out the bed with plink
as lovely bones almost got extinct,
whence consoled self singing ditty

My soul seems to be hidden today.
Where can it conceal itself?
I thought it was always with me,
Roaming the endless paths
That clatter the corridors of my mind,
coursing through my arteries and veins,
invading all essential organs
that keeps...

As the dark sky lights up with silvery stars.
Oh, what beautiful scene, it fills me with thrills.
 
I go my way amongst the winding narrow paths
Of the dimly lit...

I sit under  a large Nuttall oak
its leaves protect me from the sun.
Around me, lizards abound 
as they scuttle in and around
the soap stones and other rocks.
Silence abounds except for the melodious
Singing of light...

Tired I betake myself to bed.
The countryside is much too dark tonight.
Harbinger of a storm.
Who cares! Let it do its worst.

And betake,
It's beautiful crystal formations,
All in one station,
Packed together as one,
Glittery, golden, crystal sun,
Tricking...
