I love to tease, I love to please.

Eurydice was his radiant star.

Heard it, tasted it just the same, 
found its rhythm, found its bang.
Only later to figure you forgot the name.
There is no shame in this,
for in between beats and jives

The heart finds pathways stewing me to be nurturing/
Lives in this part bind fast ways of learning/
Strife in this heart grinds for days I’m deserving/

Inside an empty and abandoned ballroom of a massive sunken ship,
Ghosts waltz within the memories made before the ship had tipped.

Swirling in pairs of males and females with arms locked in languid rhythm,

Tapped percussion dribbles a wham,rushing
on quivers of sensation through my blood,
when duskfall changes its beat to jazz
a dizzy ride in gush of night, I roll.

Notes throbbing a cadence along blues' mood

Winter bows to spring in gallantry
As rain laden clouds scurry ‘cross the skies
In a raucous rollicking rondeau,
A playful prance in heaven’s newborn blues,

In springtime’s lusty exhaled ballet;
Vernal...
