Trusting takes time,
Play perfect pleasure,
Linger longer lover,
Strike sensual strings.
Open ourselves only,
Enjoy every emotion,
Linger longer lover,
Make merry melodies.
Love is fragile,
A slow plant to root
So water it with gentle words
And feed it with each tender caress
Never outgrow love
Fill each gaze since the first with that same wonder
That same breathless admiration
Make each kiss as profound as the first
Let each laugh be as bright
Never outgrow love
Have adventures, small or grand
Surprise each other
Dance in the rain
And above all…
Keep your arguments silly
Never outgrow love
Even if you grow apart
Don't be afraid to love
Even in the midst of heartbreak
Love is always stronger
Never outgrow love
Silence the waves crashing,
Silence the birds call,
Silence echoes of the lost soul,
Silence, everywhere silence.
Screams shatter the birds call,
Screams silence the waves,
Screams crack the very essence,
Screams scare the silence away.
Silently the screams take over.
Screams of silent despair.
Silent screams, scream silently.
Silently I scream.
Starlight stirs my coffee
the moon a soft croissant
hangs upon the painted sky
lilac or saffron my essence
new tidal ebb in accession
impassioned lyrical swells
rise as the sun surrenders
in a haze of dusty rhymes
biscuits await upon a doily
spiced rum waits for no one
breeze sways the tablecloth
silver leaves dance in the air
beach velvet awash in twilight
stars pour in porcelain cups
lingering, adrift or chaperoned
morning vow rises in steam.
lyrical swells dance until dawn.

To support all of this emotion
to take everything in stride
to up lift to and to encourage
put all that doubt and envy aside
how can go on saying
when so many want me o fail
hold my head up and keep on stibing
hoping one day I would prevail
Keep me grooving to the music
gone darling do your thang
breakfast was so delicious
Darling you treat me like a King
about yesterday I apologize
but don't keep doing that sorta thing
Your Ole man
started hushing
stopped talking when I came around
he get up when I started sitting
acting like he didn't want me around
his actions both subtle and overt
had an impact on everything
made me feel like ah fifth wheel
put a dark cloud on everything
got mad and started cussin
that's not a nice or respectful thing
got in the way of our performance
putting a damper on everything
now I'm ah red eyed stranger
a tear drop fell in my beer
all that cussin and fussin
is such annoyance
it put's ah damper on everything
Play only love songs
For tonight’s starshine hours,
with its winking
Constellations all
Hailed
And wished upon
To make this night completely
Ours ~
and keep love’s longing
Lasting
Here within us
Near
enough to
Touch
Smiles
While our wooing words turn into
gifts of kisses
Re-living our first embraces
with hearts pulsing
Music
Now
Freely composing itself
for our time yet to come
Living in a choral harmony
with love’s true verses
Coursing rivers
Amidst the patient rythms of
Lasting
Eternity…
O Jodhpur sky, vast and wide,
You sparkled late in starry light.
Your silence so deep,
Made my longing heart yield with ease.
Pink and purple in the vesper,
Yellow-orange at dusk, so tender.
You guide and embrace my texture,
My soul wrapped tight in your rapture.
I declare my love to you,
My lips await your touch so true!
My hands & height - so small, so slight,
Will you accept my love, my light?
You stayed with me forever,
You rained when I cried,
You turned dry when I ached,
Is it pity or your love infinite?
I fear to leave - will you miss me?
Or will I lose you and Jodhpur's key?
Will you hide and forget me so fast,
Without a tear, as I fade to the past.
I love her easy smile
Am mesermerized by her beauty
She has the gentleness of a Gazzel
The grace of a Girraffe browsing
Upon the majestic accacias of the Savana
Her voice makes Fairies jelous in the nether world
Her's is a love the Angels and Jinn alike crave for
She has that tantalizing quality her Kind are famed for
When am with her all mine good moods ignite in love
I stare at the laptopscreen thinking only of her beauty
Her love leaves my innards all mellow and wanting more
When with her it's as though time grows wings and flees
It's with her I chose to make mine life revolve around
Till eternity as we hold hands and walk meadows of Genna
Covid quarantine
I need to learn something new
Creativity
I self taught ukulele
I began to hear my song
Music notes on air
Like bubbles floating by me
Pop! I hear lyrics!
Writing feelings; melodies
My thoughts turned to Poetry
Drum beats
Sunrises
Dancing dusky clouds
In tune with blues
In leafy garden
To the hills of yearning
Never ending song
Sounds undying
Flowing rivers
Flying doves
Flowery forest
Primordial Eden
Your smile
Your eyes
Your silhouette
‘Till dawn
Covers the night
Moonlight
Crystal Sea
Reflections
Your beauty
From deep within
Your honesty
And simplicity
My heart’s felicity
Till I dream of you
Without fantasy
This heartstring
Melody
Harmony
Play intimately

inquisitive, imaginative, intuitive and playful
daughter of Alice and Albert
lover of my twin flame, family and Nature
who feels appreciation, delight and empathy
who fears oppression, the unknown and hateful emotions
who dreams new dreams, believes in tomorrow, never gives up

My husband Bill my center flame
and I the moth drawn in so close
he bathes my life with candlelight —
I shed my wings and fall for him again and again
When you spread your arms wide with a smile so bright,
No words are needed, our souls are in flight.
Let's watch as the birds soar over Green Island's charm,
Flying carefree through nature's loving arms.
Who knows, we may even catch sight from afar,
Of the brave souls who found refuge there, like a guiding star.
When the scorching southern sun leaves you thirsty and drained,
I will become Keelung's cooling, reviving misty rain,
Showering you with a refreshing, gentle downpour,
Perhaps stealing a slow, passionate dance under Jiufen Falls once more.
If you are the rich weaver of our passionate tales,
I will be the lasting book that carefully chronicles its details,
Lovingly stitching every memory, to cherish and unveil,
Our epic tale is etched, a bond that can never fail.

punctuation walks
on eggshells
when
words like
water
falls
flow into nothingness,
soaked in syrupy syllables
behind veiled vowels
assonance is the twin of
consonance as
a e i o u
are an
unfinished bridge
without connection
of consonants
weaved together
in visible
unspoken actions
woven without words
just like rhythmic meter
of thunder with lightning
like a lost refrain in a poem
assembled with enjambment
metaphorical reflections of a
reflective metaphor portray a
m i r a g e less sincere than silence
value blossoms
when the body adopts
a gospel language
where speech
is unnecessary
unless expressed
through true
dialects of conduct
without the use of
lyrical accessories.
Faith directs our steps,
While we go into the deep darkness where doubts could lurk.
A lighthouse shining through the darkest nights,
An energy source for our hearts' delights.
When problems arise, a soothing voice says,
"Believe in dreams; they come true."
It extends its grace with open arms,
And gives us the courage to find our niche.
Faith breathes the gift of life into us,
During times of struggle and leaps of hope.
It uses vivid colors to portray the sky,
An unseen story tapestry.
Let faith be our everlasting symbol,
And let our hearts align like the stars they are.
Faith guides us to the light of God
Through difficulties endured and distance traveled.
