In embrace of your love, blossoms my eager night,
Strumming themes romantic fervid passions recite
Invoked by scarlet-eventide glinting arc of twilight
As final breaths of dimming-day golden rays ignite
Signaling to emotive vibes twinkling on starry skies
Now’s the time for constellations to bedazzle eyes
In magenta, red nebulae buoying upon stellar seas
Navigating tides of joy as smiles of Venus appease
When enamored we stroll lauding exuberance of glee
Bequeathed by dreams, mystiques of desires spree,
In missives of forever-love verses of hearts decree
Responding to overtures, aspirations intimate plea,
Giving voice to latent hints echoing proffers of soul
Vying reveries esoteric sensuous heartbeats cajole
Prodding us to waltz, to rhythms of nocturnal tune,
Attuning beats of hearts beneath love-struck moon.

This heart of mine is like a flame
Like solemn candle, it is tame
It glows so bright against the dark
In darkest pit, it makes a spark
This heart of mine is like the sea
In the shallow, it's wild and free
But in the midst, its mystiques seep
Like silent water, it runs deep
This heart of mine is like fountain
That glows as high as the mountain
It's like rays of a blazing star
That spark hope, whether near or far

Poetically sees, this marvel by me-
this vision, pristine, presented in blue-
the post-sunset sky, stars mirrored, set free
to dance on the lake that follows on through
the jagged shoreline of inlets and curves
graced sharply by craggy, uneven peaks.
And there, standing tall, with pride he deserves,
surrounded by beauty- wonder, mystiques-
neath alien sky and far distant stars-
an earth man beholds blue beauty on Mars.

For The Contest, 'Blue Dress'

Note: On Mars, while the sky is red during the day, the sunset is blue.
The reason for this is that the dust particles always make a blue halo
around the sun on Mars, but the halo is only easy to see when the light
passes through all the dust while coming over the horizon.

The sun's golden glean cascades mountain peaks
Where reflections on still black water lay
The evening's glow of enchanting mystiques
Bows to the night with its starlight bouquet
Sky's dim light changes with flickering trace
Without description from a written word
This sacred timeless theater, I'll embrace
And the quiet beat of my pulse is heard
In solemn respect, heart's rhythm will crawl
As perfection in form slowly applies
When I see stars fill the night's cathedral
I'm humbled in smallness that purifies
The evening's reflection changes from light
Welcomes softer glow from the breadth of night

Mosaic beauty upon a canvased mind -
Abstracts' thought of two;
Spiritually carving an essence defined -
Sculpture's alluring view.
Model charisma, transcendent panoramics -
Chiseled utopia, kissed;
Shapes sexing and molding, sealing ceramics -
Tracing mystiques', blissed.
Embossed lines erect, curves aligning -
Signature beings, weld;
Engraving couplet, trademark entwining -
Crowning bijou, held.
Marbled terra cotta knows statues' Arcadia -
Concrete and clay conceive;
Porcelain angel now lives in Fantasia -
All set in stone make believe.
