There was a little bird once dwelt in my heart, he built a nest
on the tree branch hanging by the window of my heart
with the webbings spun from sunlight in lengthwise
and the webbings spun from moonbeam in breadthwise.
The only wish of the little bird who bathed in the daybreak’s
limpid and cold dews to cleanse himself and dry his wet feathers
in warmth of rising sun, was to meet a charming
little maiden bird who will keep the nest he built
warmed with him as a life-long companion.
His wish was nothing more than a wish. No matter how patiently he waited and waited, and anxiously called and called, the little charming maiden bird never visited the nest he built exclusively for her only.
One chilling night, when the stars poured down on earth,
the lonely little bird who was perched on my heart’s tree branch
to receive a little charming maiden bird, flew away in the darkest nightly air,
leaving the nest he built with his utmost sincerity and
the desire he would not be able to abandon, hanging on my
tormenting heart’s branch.

A lengthwise lexicon for fulfilling any fantasy.
Trapped in a landslide and given up by reality,
In this vagrancy, the rocket derives no delight.
Aigrette that unlocks the cosmos for sight.
Admire splendor; the cosmos surely does.
Each display case contains a galaxy in space.
And using the observatory gives me a buzz.
To ponder one light-year with a warm embrace.
Consider the nebula and its wonderful dust.
Melody of oceans and luster of cluster stars.
A struggle amid density and gravity is a must.
Consider the moon many craters and scars.
Meteor motion astonished the asteroid belt.
I do associate this motion with defect finding.
An elegance is retained by a butterfly effect.
Best weighed by sight, not by tech minding.
But the cosmos is still a God-forsaken place.
Since our path is elliptical, it will occur in pace.
Aligned with our current era, perceived as clear.
Saturn rings are still visible to us and appear.
Thinking around inertia drags me toward earth.
With our hands, we can retain our stance worth.
The character is inversely correlated to the tide.
Select a depth beyond which no volition can hide.
Cherries and Blueberries
Fresh cherries, red-ripened under the sun,
Are picked in the orchard, plump and succulent.
And blueberries plucked from bushes in the wild
Are mouth-wateringly tasty when crushed in the mouth.
Absolutely delicious when used as fillings,
In brimming-over tarts, or between pie crust layers.
Or dusted with sugar and crème poured over,
Enjoyed separately or with combined flavours together.
Blueberry pancakes and cherry waffles for breakfast,
And muffins bursting inside with juicy, sweet goodness;
Tops and stumps, or sliced lengthwise, then smeared with butter,
Exuding fruity aromas to satisfy our palates.
He presses up against the open door
where the sun glows and warms the carpet.
Such simple need he has
that give him comfort and joy as his eyes close
soaking in the warm sun's rays.
His shiny soft black fur absorbs the light
casting his small shadow across the floor.
He drops his head and stretches lengthwise
taking in the radiance
and he sighs quiet and soft.
He is toasty warm stepping into the shade
just momentarily to cool down as he rolls on his back.
He returns again, loving this morning time
holding onto it as long as he can
before the sun rises higher and is out of sight.
Life is so simple
living a dog's life.
The Slow Hands Flies
'Your soft slow hand feels like flitting fireflies '
Albeit, naught fireflies had, but slow hand flies,
Here in Hawaii where our slow hands rise,
E'er so smoothly, while they lift to the skies,
Their flowing long arms stretch lengthwise,
Everybody slow hands fly, both gals and guys,
First, they start lowly then lift to natural highs,
From the very young to the elderly, all tries,
Hula dancing where slow hands emphasize,
Graceful, slow hands express artful surprise,
Ageless taught form, traditional to modernize,
Tantalize, mesmerize, slow hands they realize.

"San Francisco, Open Your Golden Gate"
In my youthful primes some numerous years ago,
while Haight-Ashbury flickers in San Francisco,
ex-law enforcers, lawyers, demagogues all,
met in the solemn grand chambers of City Hall,
to pass a bill addressing our Golden Gate bridge,
about soaring suicides, change bad press to a smidge.
Assemblage preponderance praised a costly deal,
for one city hemmed in a fiscal crossroads, reel,
till one member from the smaller opposition,
gave a counter-proposal, his own volition.
The bulk of them chose a huge net beneath, lengthwise,
high above passing ships, close to those jumping guys.
The sole man gave his views, first, condemning their choice,
stating, it's an eyesore, monstrous, in a loud voice,
he says his plan was cheap, so much so, he will pay,
and taxpayers need not lose out on their mainstay.
What he had said, left the entire chamber -- dumbstruck,
"You can't stop those headstrong that life's not worth a buck,"
"Stupid!" "Ludicrous!" "Outrageous!", members were floored,
He ends, "Is there an issue with my diving board?"
*This was true but since neither succeeded, I guess the press left it off the front page and put it in the Sunday edition comic section, nevertheless, we San Franciscans knew.
