A Year Of Months (July-December)
8. July
July now follows summer's song of June;
with sun ablaze, her days are humid, warm.
Great time to languish in the afternoon,
and later, watch an evening...

Ghosts of the Sun Dance-Part 2
8. Transformation
Yielding to those who have mastered the art
Of grasping one's place in existence's grand scheme
Life’s constant challenges never depart
But humble diligence will grow the dream
In passing from childhood to adulthood
Innocence to responsibility
Firm new role...

The Virgin Libation, Where Are the Gods
When our cries travel not again through the sky
And the sun shines directly on our barren heads
Communal labour to clear filth render to apologies
The wise who hear and cautions spoke of no truth
And the land...

Ceraunophiliac - a Suzette Sonnet
In awe, I welcome Thor with utmost glee.
The powerful celestial force set free
amongst the hills and over the coarse scree.
The winds that whip and slink — the hailstones loudly clink.
Flashes segue to link...

Out of the Darkness
Between grains of ancient fine sand
desert roses hidden from sight—
Colourful, exquisitely fanned.
They formed in darkness; pressure shaped.
Each perfect corolla agape
in floral whorl of sharp crescents;
fluorescent and phosphorescent.
Against injustices they railed—
within shed...

Be Grateful
Right now, are you feeling unsatisfied
with whatever you have in possessions?
Always feel stressed, some sort of depression
for not having what's desired, to be pride.
Feel of insufficiency kills inside
pushes hard jealousy, raze, obsession
makes one tired hankering...

~receding Space Between Thought and Action~
Reclining within spring's bouquet
she thought,” Please stay, don't rush away,
I so enjoy, these blooms of May."
This maiden who boldly proclaimed
wished only for sweet azure sky
upon which white clouds could be framed
without knowing the reasons why.

In Our Blindness, Chalked Up To Just Be Fate
In Our Blindness, Chalked Up To Just Be Fate
Life, its complexity truly astounds
astounds this old soul so sadly earthbound
earthbound but not without imagined flight
flight into blue heavens's glimmering night.
Night of ill winds that beggars disbelief

Our Cries
A baby is able of expressing
her needs, not by talking but through her cry
to state her needs to fulfil, expression
made by her, Mom understands baby's cry.

Ali'I Drive
Famed gold crepuscular rays angling down
Knifing in between, through volcanic haze
Hualalai and Mauna Loa’s crowns
Fire Goddess Pele greets fresh island day
Fuchsia blooms explode, steal attention
Pollens mingle on zephyr coastal breeze
Hallowed entry, this tropic dimension

Why So
As young children, we were happy
but as adults, most of us not.
why so? Cause ideas what's thought
as right, differs -none takes gladly.
Adult unhappiness derives

and cried our tears for dreams put to the blade.
The lessons learned a hefty price we paid.

Hold This Shining Diamond
Chorus:
Hold this shining diamond,
it's your star and moonlight
on those long and dark nights
when I'm far and you show fright;
a brighter one you surely wouldn't have found:
see no distance between these lips and arms!

Mom Giggled
Yes, that was best time for me; can't forget.
Spending a couple of hours with Mom. Her
age related issues she never talked.
Shifted to stay with her; She's so happy.
Daily evening, I used to sit with her

I carried them in my sack for nine months.

Warrior and Gladiator fought fiercely till the end.
