At early dawn
pearly dew drops
glistening on lawn.
Pearly tear drop
sparkled on your cheek !
How can I miss ?
It's my bliss to kiss
and lick.
Cleopatra ! Black beauty ,
wearing black pearl
in majestic dignity.
Philippines !
Pearl of the Orient seas.
Country's natural charm and pride.
Amorous feelings,
glamourous in pleasure,
also piercing pain
secreting nectar,
slowly solidifying
yielding pearl of dolor.
A peerless beauty from a distant land,
now loved in rainbow colours round the globe,
her tresses, curls and sumptuous curves delight,
she’s surely clad in Nature’s finest robe.
Each passing second your Love
Etches its seal on eternal slates,
Proving fleeting affections drear,
Yielding warmth that never sates.
Infinitely warmer and soothing more,
It trounces fickle throbs of mortal kiss,
Eclipsing legends' amours of nymphs
Hugged by knights into hollowed bliss.
None comparable to fabled stories
Lauding mimicking flames of yore,
It permeates envy's diamond walls;
Caressing loneliest canyons below.
Your caress's unlying promise heals
Rude adder's strikes ignorance deals,
And balms vipers' capricious stings;
Surefire cure beyond temporal flings.
The peerless princess
in her charismatic charm
owning pristine heart
was tied in Royal chain.
Got suffocated, throttled.
Frantically yearned
for freedom in open air.
A passionate prince
came in glamour of amour.
Held hand to venture new life.
Determined lovers
exchanged wedding ring in glee
to flee on joy ride.
but murdered in the tunnel
though declared as accident.
sun and moon
define sky lights masterful change
day becomes night
painting the splash
bestowing places where colors meld
on perfect palettes

I'm the luckiest man on earth, Lou Gehrig had said
Two months later, the greatest Yankee was dead
Gehrig suffered from ALS, a fatal disease
He peered beyond the pain, his words a fresh breeze
BABY: PEERLESS GIFT OF GOD.
Love for child is universal.
Baby is the greatest gift of God.
Nicest goes parental bond,
tied just like petal and sepal.
Of joyous moments met throughout
received the happiest charm,
to take my first baby in arm.
There’s left absolute no doubt.
Might be my maternal instinct
Excessive intensive too strong,
giving my kids priority all along,
considered them special distinct.
Blessing to expectant parent
Parents to show light to child.
Child should turn parent’s pride.
Honor the gift of god to be sent.

Her Peerless Immaculate Incandescent Eyes
I stare endlessly into her peerless immaculate incandescent eyes,
That caught me by surprise,
That set my heart
Very far apart,
I become phased, when I glaze,
Into them while they are ablaze,
Sometimes I wish I could
Surpassively gaze if I would
Into her peerless immaculate incandescent eyes
That caught me by surprise.
Travis “Ceijaeh” Klein
We would sleep oft as light as a flagging breeze, eyes dry and smarting; with minds ill at ease..'
Our lives then the currency to pay your dues, who would return from our sorties? we had not a clue.'
We fought off the nausea, as well as the foe, we'd tied wires to ailerons if it meant we could go..'
Our aim was sure, our desire's to win.' Our hearts burned for freedom; midst the dogfighting & spin,
We honoured this country, child maid and man, from the bankers, to the bakers; lords or labouring men.
Our thoughts oft assailed, by the task on our hands; our limbs felt fatigue, yet we held to the plan..'
We came back from our 'bailouts', to a pittance of pay; then returned to the sky by the night & the day.
Our flights held this country, kept its hope; earned its trust, we hold no regrets for blood spilled in the dust
We know that our sacrifice, will be not effaced; keep the faith we've delivered, here in our covenant place.'
