my familiar world slips away,
the verdant green hills of North Texas,

Transcendence
My heart will gladly express gratitude for yielding.
The day's fulfilments grasp an epilogue wielding.
At the point when my eyesight would rest placidly.

Desires of the Heart
When my heart
was no longer content in solitude;
I asked;
"Oh my lonely heart,
what is it that you desire?"
Softly it whispered
for her heart beats to ease your breathless sighs,
so softness of her voice soothes suppressed sorrows...

Invincible craving for the relish from home,
Laughter in deep dimples sets as lava, seats silently with desires.

Upon the Eighth Day

Thirteen Takes
When caught mid-flight

pushing stress where it ought not to be

affect the very elect with private gardens
