She took some care making her choice
A Valentine's Day card
It is a silly little thing
"It shouldn't be this hard"

But she still feels indecision
Selecting the right one
To set the proper tone for them
"With just a touch...

A tree in love

By the old road, before it meets a widened way
 in a nearby stands two trees close together
 we can see they are related 
yes, mother and daughter
The mother, although taller, leans...

The world is like a sea
The countries are mobile ships
When a great plague washes over
Not from scruby, but from corona.

The colonial ships take extreme measures
To keep their colonies safe and secure
By staying indoors to keep...

We spoke forever
And then some more
He called
We both stood on our balconies
Watching the moonlit sky above
Laughing about those stories
That compare the stars with love
He closed his eyes
So that he could see
The sight before me
The red...

Are you a figment of my imagination or are you for real
Do you dream like me and feel the things I feel
My head hits the pillow is it your face that I see

I
When we first met I thought you were the one.

The beautiful day begins in the house.
At the end of it, all that’s left of it is the moon,
Shimmering in all the night’s light.
A door to another world opens.
The only movement is a page turning...

On a cold winter’s night
We sit close together
By a fire, warm and snug
Almost sleeping, certainly dreaming

A hand-knit blanket is over us
It keeps us warm
As we watch the snow fall
On the back patio of our home

            without this strong camaraderie we would fail-
For we shall show amity until eternity is...

I can’t afford for this one to fail

She was just a stranger

And somehow we ended up in the same 

Space and time

Now, mother nature is taking over once more

And I am admiring your attributes

The strands...

Winter is approaching.
 I feel it in my floorboards; in my baseboards;
in every nook and cranny.
I wait to be filled again at this time of Thanksgiving, and
As I wait, sounds of the past linger in...

Night’s Passion.
______________

Let your dream, be a dream of night, 
let it know fear and love’s delight,

A new life it seems 
Has come my way
In the mountains 
And plains of Wy-o-ming

I look out of my window
And Antelope play
Go out to the kids place
Where the buffalo stay

The rain has been plenty
And the...

Sailing Beyond My Dreams

Sailing deeply into my dreams—
All night long, I could sense it,
The ocean in its pure magnificence and majestic wonder.
I smelled Nature’s soft salt from the sea in the air,
Savoring complete its true...

Call it a requiem, dirge or elegy,
Lament, funeral song of eulogy,
On failing, dying light and last hurrah,
Maybe the last polite vah vah!

Once, a focal point of a family,
A device that brought it close together,
That not...

mother star beams as she beholds her errant brood
  six diverse, rocky planets
  the innermost, a dense, two-faced, frosty furnace
  the outermost, pulverised
  much interfered with by a jovial neighbour

Except for some maples, poplars and a few oaks…I can’t tell trees apart.

Because I’m not an expert…but still love the way...

     with wondrous flights to lands of poetry,
          where there, my simple visions come to be
