What we felt was spontaneous
feelings easy to navigate,
other thoughts were extraneous
fixation or not love won't wait.
Lost in the portal of our eyes
what we felt was spontaneous,
as tangible as starry skies
its intrigue consentaneous.
Doubts were but momentaneous
for we'd shared a revelation,
what we felt was spontaneous
our hearts needed no translation.
There was no need to verbalize
sweet words were miscellaneous
we had no wish to patronize
what we felt was spontaneous.

Together, we should fly away –
leave behind our average day
Let’s break from mundane routine –
inhale exciting to exhale serene
Our daily sameness lacks changes ~
let’s peak inside spontaneous exchanges
Imagine waking to momentaneous outcomes ~
shaking time’s ill-dosed humdrums
Not knowing life’s daily sum
would defuse our everyday numb!

Soothing, moving broken wing whilst relaxing in lights radiance,
the bird song brings sheer cheer though only momentaneous.
In tune I croon a lullaby for with nature I am one,
the trees are watching, birds are flocking all under our great sun.
Here, I ponder our big wide world and all that it does nurture,
what was, what is, what will be and me the mere immerser.
A love divine and is all mine-with this I do so stride,
not once, with a thought-this poem I caught 'til I went outside.
A pen rests unreservedly in my lips
Another embraced behind my ear
A ream of paper at peace on my lap
And ink smudges consume my fingers
/
My perception beyond physicality
Mystical enchanters in chorus
Momentaneous fantasies in flesh
And the artistry streams
/
In a foxtrot my pen whirls
Across the ballroom of parchment
Virginal ink smears
And the gala commences
/
Unbeknownst of my environs
Enveloped passionately within my illusions
Adventures given essence
And pressed into a colloquy
/
Not infamous is my name
Nor are my narrations published
But a dream I live for
And a tale to be told
