Long Lavishes Poems

Canvas is heavy, full of lovely thought
to place a young maiden beneath a willow tree
maybe beside a quaint pool where seasons wrought.
The youthful maiden known to others as Marie,
trapped hearts of many callow gents' curiosity

The protoplanetary phase
of nebulae sidereal
occurs in astral later days
before the stage ethereal
when cloud impressions like Monets
create new star material.

At edge of inky Coalsack cloud,
nebula Caldwell Ninety-nine,
amidst the murk of dusty shroud,
PPN stellar redesign
with brilliance beauteous...

He won’t fit inside a thought
He won’t fit inside a hope
Yet He fits inside a heart

He is light and He is love
He lavishes us, each one, with good
He restores us...

There are so many things about God
that I don't really understand.....
like  why He chose me
to be a part of His band.

I have done nothing at all
to deserve such favor.
But I sincerely thank this God-man

No chance to look down
Lest eyes miss the spectacular scene

at least that she acknowledged publicly,
"Or any other!" (wench would challenge me!)
Her comments, dance card, empty but for those
whose supplicant's entreaties dared impose
a strain perhaps on hospitality

When individualism and free-thinking were to rule and...

Not together certainly, but these are the spices in my cupboard

Her heart beats fast, as it always should
She lavishes her love, with branches that care

It’s a parasite’s world.
The worm of laziness
Clogging the mind,

Ignorance, dark, deep, masquerading ugliness.

It’s a parasite’s world---
Where dependence is...

In riots of radiance, infected by innocence,
Seeks out the heart harassed by humiliation –
Wrapped in sleepless shrouds of incensed worry –
When alliterations of angst plunder soiled spirits with...

Those rolling eyes and special quirks
I love the way you smile and smirk.
Sly sharp barbed Simon Cowell,
Caustic comments make me howl.

Make some contestants shake with fear.
That is one way...
