I’m a lovely daffodil, yellow like the sun.
See me in my garden spot; I’m the mellow one.
Nearby are my tulip friends; how I love their hues.
But a bright blue crocus has turned into my muse.
In the breeze when all we blooms tend to brightly sway,
I keep hoping that blue crocus wants to look my way.
Hummingbirds and butterflies are great to see around.
There must be a hive somewhere. Bees surely do abound!
There’s this little chipmunk. Such fun antics he plays,
but it’s never long enough that cute critter stays.
Since I’m whimsical, Daffy you may call me.
I’m being visited right now by a honeybee!
I GATHER UP MY WORDS
Lo! alas I come to task;
I await the change in my life;
But I've found myself lost;
I must not but Jesus back on that cross;
For though I am loss, He found me with His grace;
I am faithful and engross, I look onto His face;
His light shines and takes me to a place;
I gather up my words, then say Hallelujah
I gather up my words, and say thank you Lord
I gather up my words, and say Hallelujah
I look onto His face He found me with His grace;
No longer lost, Jesus paid the cost;
I am my own boss I'm saved thanks to Jesus;
In suffering He plunge He rose His spirit, His soul;
He cried, He died for me thanks be to God;
He plunge,suffered long suffering and His soul rose;
A wish faint and fading I sway;
Over the hill and far away;
The rapture of this life you've heard
I gather up my words, so to just praise the Lord
I gather up my words

Yesterday wafts softly down as this days echo fades
All but hushed to whisper by time’s ever binding glue
My dreams this night will richly form and dance between the two
Troubles displayed within my mind without the albatross of time
Seem now to be soliloquy from some angst left behind
So thin this veil which clouds these fears
Far moved from truth as dawn appears
Away cool sleep and move this play from long ago forgotten tears
Now bright as day my thoughts do sway
It seems to me so far away
Looks as if the light has played, embalmer to the night’s foray
As yesterday now locks it’s door
Though with some mild chagrin
They're foolish all who would ignore
Here lies the keeper’s spin
To yesterday there are still ways to tweak you from behind
Stay gently present or you’ll drift with rearward fettered mind
Oh, think not back or you will feel, this specter from the dark
I think it triggers off some long thought vanquished spark
Believe this as you close your eyes
In some subconscious stream
Yesterday waits quick to pounce as night includes your dream
Pining for long, O longing heart,
If smacked art thou by a beauty,
If rocked by her assets thou art,
Should any charming face sway thee,
Earn first good deeds her to deserve,
Desires on their own seldom serve.

Translation (sestet*) | 24.08.2025 | beauty, heart, women
*Wonder, if it can be called a Sestetto Rima-- iambic meter with a rhyme scheme of ABABCC.
Note: Here is a verse from Bhartrihari’s Shringaara Shatakam (hundred verses on love and romance). This verse is in Vasanta-tilakaa meter. It says: if ye cherish a beauty, she must be deserved first. Here is the transliteration of the verse in Sanskrit:
Tasyaah stanau yadi ghanau jaghanam cha haari,
Vaktram cha chaaru tava chittam kim aakulatvam |
Punyam kurushva yadi teshu tava asti vaañchaa,
Punyaih vinaa na hi bhavanti sam ihita-arthaah || 20 ||
We are bound for a city of splendor and grace,
Where farewells are never the case.
Heaven’s realm is beyond earthly scenes,
Where mansions are prepared by heavenly means.
With Love as judge, the verdict is clear,
Everyone is invited to be a part of this splendor.
Gates of pearl adorns the entrance way,
Gold-lined streets where we will forever stay.
Time runs on eternity’s sway,
Guiding us through our darkest way.
Partial knowledge we hold in our grasp,
In heaven's embrace, full wisdom clasp.
Mysteries revealed in Word’s light,
City above, shining ever so bright.
In the skies, this celestial city stands,
Beckoning us to take Heaven’s hands.
Prime pretty play
Stream special say
Ply piquant plot
Live laughing lot
Treat tedious tact
Apply apt act
Sensuous sighs speak
Pique precious peaks
Meek moments meet
Succinct sounds sweet
Zesty zeal zooms
Rich ripples room
Niche notions nice
Sights sparkle spice
Ply profound play
Sense scheming sway
Little lots lure
Play prompting pure
Bright blossoms brief
Glimpse grumpy grief
Taste tender touch
Mind muzzles much
Lift luscious looks
Bright blooming books
Jumpy joy juice
Oomph offers ooze
Glad glory grooms
Rouse rustic room
Being booms best
Query ***** quest
Sad sojourn strays
Wise words weave way
Dice dazzles date
Poise pickles plate
Wounded words waste
Troubles teach taste
Final fate flings
Sense seeking spring

Destiny has forever been an advisory
It provokes me
It scorns me
Vexing my soul
Denying me pleasure and supplying me pain
Nevertheless, we continue together
Spiraling through time
Trampling over the gardens of paradise,
Eluding the lagoons of love,
Escaping the world of contentment
Attempts of freedom prove impossible
While longing for liberation of this limited legacy
Scraping the sands of time for salvation
As disbelief and failure settle at the bottom of my river of tears,
And while reality immortalizes itself,
I reminisce an aspiration where,
She and I were of one
She was me and I her
I could hear the soft sway of the ocean’s waves
In her eyes, I saw skies of satisfaction
And as we frolic through the fields of forever
I am abruptly awaken by destiny’s envy
An envy that has plagued my existence
Again, the handcuffs of imprisonment are tightened
As I yearn to be granted my forbidden fate
I am down on bended knees
Hands closed begging pretty please
Will you forgive my mistakes
I'll do whatever it takes
To have you back in my heart
Pleading for a brand new start
It's been too lonely and long
Since I did you badly wrong
Packing my bags in a huff
Saying that I've had enough
Of your care and protection
From a new computer friend
That wanted to meet up
Having coffee in a cup
You tried warning me to stay
My stubbornness didn't sway
As I waited for a guy
That would make me hurt and cry
His fake profile got me seeing
Lies that were wrong and misleading
Pretending to be so friendly
Turning out mean and so deadly
So I'm asking some forgiveness
From this stupid piece of business
Praying every day and wishin'
That your broken heart will listen
To my pleas that I am sorry
Waiting with a lot of worry
What your answers gonna be
As my shaky hands and knees
Will stay right in front of you
Until I get some kind of clue
That my words had an effect
On your heart full of neglect
I don't care how long it takes
Before you get up and make
A move that will finally prove
My stupidness did not lose
The only man I want forever
Please say we are back together
We're just a couple of happy souls
Traveling along love's highway
Doesn't matter if our roads never cross
Each day is a sunny and bright day
I'm conjuring up a passionate scene
In my anxious and eager soul
Of the two of us meeting face to face
Like those wonderful days of old
I've come to accept what's up ahead
Whatever may come my way
But I'd much rather kiss your tender lips
Feel our bodies swing and sway
The visions I have are loving and sweet
Of a bond so trusting and free
I'm dreaming yes but oh what a dream
Locked in embrace you and me
It's amazing to me in my waning years
Not as young as I once was
But relive every one of those precious times
The memory brings a tear, it does
Thought for the day: live love's sweet stay;
Ink a new write as feelings surge;
Meet migrant sway as rhymes reap say;
Emerge to cite a visual urge.
Life calls to soul to play the fool;
Opt to be free with thoughts laid plain;
Vouch for true whole as lines now pool;
Enjoy and see what verse can gain.
Hurts spur the heart to feel and grow;
Enter the core as stillness bids;
Align your part to promptly know;
Look out for more as muse lifts lid.
Peace is the way to conquer pain;
Ask to be wise to charm surprise;
Come let us pray for lasting gain;
Endow and rise with love your prize.
Hoist each word sketch with cheery feel;
Expect to be a better man;
Raise words that catch what essence heals;
Extract and see beyond vain plans.
Live in the light as soul now hints;
Open your mind to explore joy;
Touch fond insight that shades and tints;
Success you find in fine employ.
Be the whole man in verse and rhymes;
Expound your feel with radiant voice;
Etch your wise plan in space and time;
Now sense goodwill word style and poise.
