Love oh love
Cantar and Cantrix

Of love that is truest to me
might we speak than as
Lovers
Of love whom I stand grounded
and wish to be adorned through
the times we spend together
Of love might the nights be still
so that we can love forever
Of love than my love might we
strive to be as one
Might we condition our minds to
look to each tomorrow as each
new beginning has just begun

The Thesbains Tale
Octave 0001
From the Book
A Stingy Man
By: Luva Luva
There was a young man named Fred
(the tooth fairy lived in dread)
a wild flamboyant from afar
the spice island Zanzibar
a singer he'd been
and sang a good song
with four-octave range
in the band called Queen
tho' considered 'strange'
with plus four in the upper jaw
he had more teeth than most
once nicely depraved
now dead and gone
when he gave up the ghost
shuffled offstage his mortal coil
was no more than toast
finally went bust
of him it was said,
'Another one bites the crust!'
Let us at Risk-Taking Dave
Lengthily rave
For choosing to live in a cave
Also, The Choice of a Gorilla
That could demolish a stout slave
And wrestling Victory not release to a Godzilla …
To Risk-Courting Dave
Now in Echoing Cave
To improve on His high Octave
Mention that he’s risking an early grave
For not being The Muscularly Brave
That termites his fresh corpse shall crave
As he deigns to ways for it pave …
The soonest of requiems in a nave
For his life he never could save
With pleas Gorillas aside wave.
drinking my hot coffee in the morning light
thinking back on that date I met my fate
everything around me seems very bright
recalling how I met her, became my mate
in the afternoon I like to drink tea
but in the evening it must be red wine
just sitting there with my love becoming me
as I sit there drinking she becomes mine
To Zeus she is the goddess of magic
seaside mysteries
Beneath her golden tendrils
a flowing waterfall
She flies up to the Moon to sleep
in Orion's arms
Then tumbles back down to the sea
over skin of alabaster
Ripples of love float on moonbeams
golden glow
to skip across the dancing sea to stir
her heart of biotite
She loves to twirl across the waves
in arcs of joyful glee
And make phosphorous plumes like
iridescent candlelight
Misty nights she plays her harp of gilded
seaweed strings
Then sends aloft the liquid notes of
effervescent song
To all the stars above the oceans'
tranquil calm
That the universe may exalt
in her healing balm
For fun she shines the shore with a million
sparkling drops
While drifting between the currents
on winds' whispering call
It lifts her heart to feel the waves
blue breath of foam
As she swims with sisters in a frothy crest
of her magical sea

Play this simple tune upon your spinet
so that I can know the notes well, my dear.
Restful music sounding sweet to my ear.
I am greatly eased and made charmed by it.
Home is truly most blessed by whole bit.
We sit listening while her tones are made clear.
Fine, well keyed, and gentle music we hear.
Showing perfect phrasing she's a great hit.
Dactylic Hexameter
My love for family I do not hide or set high on a wooden shelf.
Baubles of life are here having a jot influence over a rime of things.
One hawks a sweeter enticement diverting us like a small candy elf.
Placed in a closet of my heart it offers now no threat to inner self.
Booty that makes us rich seems a bit ornament gaining a shoddy pelf.
Family time is togetherness knowing the pleasures it often brings.
We talk but nothing unusual like blue and white on ceramic delf.
Time for a lady and children as husbands sit talking as royal kings.
Go high my kite so right.
Seek thy sky flight, flow free.
Make thy way, find breeze light.
Take hold, wee prize, we see.
Tied tail needs airspace height.
Make sleek line tight, jolt me.
Please find wayout, gain space.
Show Lane they windswept grace.
Your sweet words given me past time do play
with ease upon this happy mind again.
Together we can take a stroll this day
and I'll relate to you some lofty gain
That lofty gain is you dear Joan, come stay
with me forever through all life's rain
Then I'll give you things o'er my joyful way
and you'll have life that's ne'er been use in vain.
"This time alone with you is precious, maid.
Could I but keep the moments sweet with you
from fleeting time’s demand that be not stayed.
All I’d give making veritas less true.
Since I lack power bidding time adieu,
love, I must seize the rose buds e’en what may.
Let me then speak of my heart’s pain anew,
of my constant thoughts tearing each spent day
zounds, into splintered pieces only you can stay.
The tower’s high with striking chime
its clangor resonates.
With face of time now widely seen
clock’s scene thus viewed dictates.
Its dial white looks free of grime
new cleaning time awaits .
Loud presence yea with polished sheen
our day it regulates
~Remember His Promises~
( Brace Octove )
Pray for love, peace today
Stay focus in God, heart, mind
Remember Lord is kind
God can help each single day
And each step of your way
Walk in His light, not blind
Remember Lord is kind
Love, worship pray each day.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Romans 12: 12 ( NIV )
-The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”

~Author's Notes:
The "Brace Octave" is An eight-line stanzaic form or style of English origin. The Italian octave is a subgenre of this.
I find everyone riding the acme of jubilance,
but weeping at their inflated gloominess
Thy lords have created everything,
yet every pneuma is suffering
If you watch closely,
there is so much satire in this tiny sphere,
Every leaf that breathes,
hides an ache deep underneath.

Pray for love, peace today
Stay focus in God, heart, mind
Remember Gods good, kind
God can help each single day
And each step of your way
Walk in His light, not blind
Remember Gods good, kind
Love, worship, pray each day.
