Neighborhood brought the two in relation.
And the acquaintance ripened into love
And the fire within them burnt with bright...

the handsome gigolo of Via Veneto,
and his lucky charms he sells to many a gorgeous lady,
he approaches them and says,
" Mademoiselle, parle vous Francais?"

with its ancient monuments which still fascinate!

Silver floats the moon and boughs slender sway,
fleeing on her trembling breath
her light feet braves.
Rising of the lea in the dappled grey,
As she wore her verdant robes,
on her vestal form in surging waves.
He shielded her...

 I get a glimpse of you

A soft hue of light lavender rising in my dawn

gliding fervently in sun-kissed breeze

An ephemeral beauty enchanting the depths of these caramel eyes

flaunting your gossamer wings in whimsical ballad

A small tree, quite old, sits near the harbor
Where the water swooshes into the rocks
A real dark blue, near black, color exists
A murky flow hits hard there by the docks

The wind picks up, a storm...

Chasing all notes on air in sublime rhyme,
With shining leotard, my wish is to fly.

A lighthouse blinked deep in the shadows' gray   
a fog-horn bordered at the distanced lines,
few stars were scattering above the bay

- my eyes were focusing upon the brines,

Slopes laden with flower beds like
Colorful vase of flowers
I saw the* the Himalayan rose

Your petals fall...

Analysis read—and wronged—and pulled
Lulled into our idealistic mess
Words no longer ours but hung distress
Farced in carnality—they are ruled

Soundness remains what we will believe 
And all else is but tethered nonsense
Clinched tightly in unfriendly absence
Overcome in...

To fly free is what a poet wants to do
It’s possible that it is different
Probably not to the taste of a few
Quite different and many may dissent.

Why should you remain a family house
If you are dilapidated, shattered and tattered
In this summer of old age.

If the house garden bears a barren look
Tearing away its leaves and...

Placing rosy dots on her cheek with a hug

A secret told to the senses instead to ears

Then found the right place for the kisses,



Kisses stamped one...

He doesn’t throw his plastic bottles into the sea,
He walks in the forest, so as not to offend anyone,
He knows that under the stone there...

Today I picked the garden fruit,
To make complete a tasty meal;
And came across an aphid brute.
Today I picked the garden fruit,
Beside my house of holes and root;
To emphasis my scalloped veal.
Today I picked the garden...

I cry today for lack of shame,
We`ve lost to greed and pride for sure,
to make a living fraud`s the game,
which pumps the heart with blood impure.

It’s misting rain out of the sky today
She tries to be real strong and oh so bold
But she’s still shaking here in every way
The weather looks to be this...

when something like us ends
when love is not together.
