Springtime Flowers Blooming Love
Springtime in Korea
walking down the world peace forest
near the international airport in Incheon
with the love of my life by my side.
Enjoying the Flowering Trees
The snowing apple trees, cherry blossoms
pear blossoms. the purple azaleas, the anemone,
the buttercups, the daffodils, the magnolia,
the scotch bloom, the tulips,
the wildflowers in the field.
the fragrance of love in the air
Life is great.
I'm back;
Self love is in the air;
Fire up now I'm on track;
Boy test me if you dare
but I found that life hack;
Shining.
inner light with no bounds;
That's what you see lifting
me into the storm clouds;
Any doubts left dying;
Inside
I have faltered before;
Uncontrollable tide
raging inside my core;
Never again backslide.
Two chairs by the riverside
Empty now but set aside
For you to sit with me and talk
And my guitar will play you Bach
Fresh coffee for you I will make
Sweet lilacs, a bouquet you can take
To place upon your office desk
To know my thoughts of you don't rest
And every time the breeze blows through
Your window, know it's me who flew
In on current's unseen flow
To cool you and to say hello
Surrounding you with all my love
Embracing you with zephyrs of
Refreshing scents of cologned air
And when it's gone, know I was there
lights swirl and flicker
my heart's aflutter
winter nights meant for lovers
there's magic in the air
if only we will dare

Bare footed wind is swaying the curtains
Freeing the air from all its dewy burdens
Letting the dim silvery moonlight
Cast engolangated shadows at midnight
It brings some melodies along
Somebody, in distant, singing a song
From the woods it comes, I can guess
Their windows are not shut, it suggests
The night is dark, the night is cold
A waning moon is rising and the wind is bold
Yet the song is lovely and feels so sweet
When sung for beloved , feelings are never offbeat
21st October, 2022
The cool evening breeze
sweeps across her moonlit hair
laying bare her beauty
by the gently air
never have my eyes
seen a maiden so fare
love is in the air
Love is in the trees
Through the rings of years
Showing bursting colors
Offering cooling shade
In the spread of hot sun
Giving home to wildlife
Between branches in seasons
Love is in the water
Lakes, rivers to oceans…
Flowing with relaxation
Moving, reflecting, shimmering,
In sparkles that inspire
Love is in the air we breathe,
The sounds we hear, sights we see
In the time we have to share with others
It is always here, love is in the air

True love will always make one cry
For like all else, it soon must fly
From serf to King
True love takes wing
When Caesar sees her seizure sigh
Love is in the air
when no one sees you caring
what it is to bare.
two sets of footprints
two hands linked
one heart drawn in the sand
Meet Laura who loves being post girl
one day on her round she meets a lad
Philip was his name the local gamekeeper
he really fancied Laura, not at all bad
But Laura had quite a few options
other guys, she had in her sight
but love can only be for the one
now how would Laura know what's right
Philip was the important guy in the town
Laura's parents rated him sky high
only Laura had soft spot for Tim
who was just plain guy kinda shy
Laura couldn't work out what she felt
there was feeling inside but for who?
Philip had his good points no doubt
but Tim had real humanness to view
There can only be one real winner
when love is in the air
love knows where the arrow strikes
hearts entwined for layer upon layer
So Laura what are you gonna do?
real dependable honest and kind
that's what you need yes it is
This Is Mine you will find!
(Now If you still don't know who Laura picked think on the capital letters in the last line
This Is Mine!)

To right the wrongs of love no flawless gauge exists
Though visions unfulfilled can leave one bereft
With tears of remorse for the ones who didn’t show
Or lamenting the ones who came and left
Sparkly wings donned we cruise the starry skies
Crooning songs of love to the silvery moon
Mourning its presence being ~ Too late? ~ Too soon?
Grieving for the ‘dish’ who ran away with the ‘spoon’
Rewrite your song ~ Compose a new melody
Peek through those shades of pearlescent pink
Discard the restraints of unrequited love
Bask in loves splendor ~ lest it goes in a blink
Feel a whisper of the breeze ~ on those thundering seas
The quest starts right here on this night crystal clear
That rusty anchor raise ~ you’ve lingered too long
It’s your ship to control ~ Reclaim the power to steer
I trust you like the music video clip by Australian singer John Paul Young. Still loving the sound of the Disco 80’s

Thank you for all that you planted in the garden of my heart
Am happy to add all them in my love cart
In the book of memories I remember how we met
Share your love as hate rips the love debt
I love the friendship we share and all the love you care
You are the one I turn to when I am down and need an ear
No matter how many times we had our petty fights
They were faded away on the same nights
I thought am strong, but realized am weak as we grow
I got hurt but tried to ease the pain as time flow
I don't want the little hellos to be crushed by the good byes
As you were always through my highs and lows
Rain or shine,near or far, our love and we grow in pair
I loudly can say the world that our Love is in the air
Skipping heartbeats in the air
With the warm sun in your voice
In the cozy tipsy room
The pen is restless
Pink desires of crimson fruits
Have gone to the dense woodland
To drink wine from the moon cup
The box is greedy
Ice on pulsating sweet heat
Flames on slice of valentine
Passionate warmth on your palm
Restless painting brush
A night for crazy casket
A dark time for equine rhythm
Valentine taps on the cheek
It’s time to wake up
We all have lyrical pens
In our pink chest bouncing hues
Rich or poor, flames in impulse
To wake up and sleep
Champagne in the stars of night
Wind calling to cross the line
Tonight is for thine and mine
Valentine freedom

Love is in the air tonight,
I can see it everywhere.
Butterflies and dragonflies
Flirt while kissing in mid-air.
The fireflies fly flashing.
And illuminate the night.
Children seeing, squeal with glee,
And move closer to the sight.
Love is in the air tonight,
I can hear it in the trees.
Bullfrogs sing; their dreams take flight.
And love calls cling to the breeze.
The wise old owl blinks her eye.
And whistles, Hoot-hoot, hoot, hoot!
She already loves her guy.
Three owlets have just said “Hoot.”
Love is in the air, tonight.
Can you feel it in your heart?
Children gather near, each night.
Familial loves then start.
My soul feels your spirit near.
Connected, cherished within.
I see love in your eyes, my dear.
You are where loves’ breaths begin.
