He Captvates Me

HE CAPTIVATES ME
 
Mesmerized
by his intelligence,
like mother nature phenomena

Ingenious
Maestro of opera,
music, like nature transforms seasons

Versatile
Musical instruments
he plays, like nature changes weather.

Masterful
teaching music classes,
as how nature shows picturesque views

Parallelogram de Crystalline
Checked:  How Many Syllables

One Exception

Bedazzled
by the beauty of night,
you gaze at trillions of twinkling stars. 

Mesmerized,
you commute with the stars,
feeling like you’re connected somehow.

Overwhelmed,
the sanctity of space
encompasses you, body, and soul.

Miracles
are rarely in plain sight,
with one exception; the universe.

Perfect In Every Way

Envious
   of your overt beauty,
      Venus hides her face amongst the stars

Ascending
   night's ebony mountain,
      Luna's light pales next to your aura

Retreating
   shadows morph into night, 
      the universe twinkling in your eyes

Exquisite
   as any masterpiece,
      God made you perfect in every way

Say It Like It Is

tender touch
magnetic heat rising
all sheaths of consciousness now aflame

purring bliss
love electricity
teleports us to heightened rapture 

lower mind
melds with the glowing heart
the universe too sings with delight

joy replete
no doing to be done
dance of love and light in renewal

Parallelogram de Crystalline : 
Four tercets, each with syllable count 3, 6, 9

My Love Is

 
Musical,
like a thousand wild birds;
singing in a green forest joyful.

Heavenly,
like a red rose blooming;
in the dripping dawn of a new day.

Elegant,
like the towering trees;
along a forest path in the shade.

Beautiful,
like a sunset falling;
like all the bright stars twinkling above.

Shape of Things To Come

shape up said the circle to the square

you’re a bit rough around the edges

far too closed in for comfort and joy


I can’t help it I’m all full of angles

right ones and wrong perspectives

constant rectangular doom so to speak


look at me I am a ring of fire and passion

diametrically sound complete at the centre

rounded and packed with infinite promise


you’ve no beginning unaware of the start

state you’re a wheel in perpetual motion

while I am grounded and sure of myself


no such thing for you are rigid and static

unsure where you’re going if moving at all

condemned to inflexible and taut stiffness


and so they squabbled from angry premises

valid arguments and debatable conclusions

righteous and unbending in their opposition


until an ellipse and parallelogram came along


change needs shifting paradigms under pressure

the square opened and jumped into the circle

anchored tangents perimeter and firm compromise


let us please wed our disadvantages and strength

no contradiction but complementing each other

Pythagoras meets Sisyphus and they applaud

Machete

you and i were the 'good kids'
only spoke when spoken to
never picked a fight
didn't color outside the lines

later we learned that they
were sifting through all our art
ascertaining who lay on the
extremities of the bell curve
who might have a troubled home life
     and/or
who might have an aptitude for fine art
... we were somewhere in the middle

                                  fast forward thirty years or so...

we discovered a magic quill
that served as a machete
clearing out the underbrush
of this dense jungle we call
life

we learned to think outside 
the quadrilateral parallelogram
and found the outer rim
of that bell curve

we no longer raised our hands
waiting to be called on
we delved deep and found
a singular 
phenomenon
inside us -

our voice

Fun With Geometry

I have fun with the world of geometry
The square, the rectangle and the parallelogram
Oh' the trapezoid and the rhombus
The triangles, the isosceles and the equilateral
All are a great happy family together
The circles and ellipses are closely related
The formulas of geometry try to memorize
The areas and circumferences
The diagonals and angles
Learn the trigonometric functions
You discover a new world
The sines and cosines
The tangents and arc tangents
If all this is not enough to entice you
Hopefully and much soon you probably 
will fall in love with world of geometry

Que Dices, Sarah

Que Dices, Sarah?

No wooden-cross 
parachute deployment awaits
where we held
not one another
but separate breaths
that lit the candle
which ushered in darkness
the only kept
promise our broken 
home still fixates.

How do we square
this parallelogram,
hmm, Lassie?

Or is it simply a case of 
que sera, sera, Sarah?

Love of Geometry

I have fun with the world of geometry
The square, the rectangle and the parallelogram
Oh' the trapezoid and the rhombus
The triangles, the isosceles and the equilateral 
All are a great tight family together
The circles and ellipses are closely related
The formulas of geometry try to memorize
The areas and circumferences
The diagonals and angles
For the trigonometric functions 
You discover a new world 
The sines and cosines
The tangents and arc tangents
If all this is not enough to entice you
Most probably now you fell in love with geometry

Parallelogram

parallelogram
floats 'pon upper air currents.....
jet exhaust  

I saw a perfect parallelogram
in the sky yesterday coming 
back from the eye surgeon..
(Not me this time my husband.)'
Those jet seem to pass so close
I don't see how they don't 
collide..

Waterfalls

Headwaters,
Of the world’s flowing souls,
Cresting to flight and misting rainbows.

Everyone.
Searching for another.
To endure sacrifices behold,

Cascading
Heart’s ladles dip into
Basins of memories in plunge pools.

Waterfalls,
From the rapids of youth,
To the flat waters of golden years

Received an NA in the above contest.

Entered in Edward Ebbs's contest: Only for those NA's on 01.23.16
The contest calls for an explanation of what the poem means to the author:

This poem is a summary of life.  
Headwaters=birth,
Cresting=growing up, 
misting=your effect on others and the world, 
'searching for another'=could be spouse, money, God, or just yourself, etc,        
Sacrifices=what you traded for what you wanted, 
cascading=life, time goes by so fast

Once you reach old age, hopefully your waters are calm (flat), and not still turbulent or made turbulent due to regret from choices and the trades you made in youth.

Secreted Jewels

We dared meet
in clandestine disguise
behind an overlay of water

Secreted
from watchful eyes peering
amid crystalline dancing droplets

Our first kiss
concealed from lurking eyes
extracting  jewels of youthful joy

Rainbow arks,
captured floating crowning’s,
appearing and captivating gems

A Steep Descent of a Small River

Once I tried 
to embrace a cascade
A steep descent of a slim river

With a soft
regalia of steps
but she sprinkled scantily on me

But I was 
aroused, flushed and reddened.
Enjoying her warm and soft impact

Before she
became a cataract
with strong undercurrents and deep holes.

Waterfall

From high up
The rushing water leaps
A daring dive into the unknown.

Unrestrained
It tumbles down, eyes closed
Savouring the adrenalin rush

Of bold youth;
It flows in breathless flight
Crystalline streaks of exuberance.

Deafening
The roar of fulfilment
As waters meet and avidly merge.
