The Rue in a Baked Custard Tartlet
monks once used egg whites
to starch their habits crisp clean
dumping yellow yolks ~
but a waste not want not pledge
inspired a baked custard tart
in an act of grace
their heavenly recipe
was kept secret sold

Rainbow Rue
For some love is a battle with glue
Stuck in a kinetic rainbow rue
Slipping on sunshine melting moon’s mood
Tenderness designed on brain as blue tattoo
Turquoise touch feverish and concise
Winning red heart blowing pink mind
And every single day it is valentine’s
For feelings glow like gold inside
Can’t find a card to cast my spell
Will work

Trust
Trust
Trust is fragile, yet so strong
In relations must belong
Of value beyond all worth
Than all the gold on the earth
Trust has high inherent risks
Often puts one in good stead
Should hidden motives exist
Relations eulogies read
Trust, like an old China plate
With hundreds years of use
E’en by King Henry the Eighth
Will always fail to abuse
Flip the plate high o’er

Truly Cruel RUE
Teach me how to love again
Right now, I’m feeling numb and somewhat anxious
Because of your truly cruel rue
That’s why this is what I’m going through
Because of your truly cruel rue
That’s why this is what I’m going through
Understanding me in many ways
Lonely, loving you always
You ask me why I feel this way…
Because of your truly cruel

Rue Saint-Honore
It's the weekend (Friday night). Lisa and I are hangin’, music’s playing, and we’re rummaging through my suitcase, for an outfit option, for me, tonight. Call it cliché, but we like going out - and getting ready to go out with a friend, beforehand, is one of the rituals of beauty culture.
Let’s get poetic!
If the

Pretty One Rue'
She is dark she is pretty
She has an easy grace
When she smiles sky's open
As she walk beauty accentuates
If me alliterates she's beauty me beholds
In her hugs me befoulded as am beffuddles
The in her me spy genna
Me spying beautiful l meadows of genna
When with her me fathom lilting nivarna
Her essence a paradise of carousel emotions
Her name

In Rue
Though they were so few,
For rest of life I shall rue.
Remembering just
How I matter less each day,
Life sweeps memories away.

Rue the Day
Mounted on a Missouri mule,
All my possessions in a sack.
The scorching sun, oh so cruel,
Sweat running down my back.
On the way to Kansas City,
To visit my older brother.
Angry still, what a pity,
From one thing or the other.
While crossing a swollen creek,
I only made it halfway through.
This trip started looking bleak,
When my mule threw a shoe.
Afraid

Streets Ruas Rues
I'm a small street,

Street of the dream, street of suffering,

kid lying on the sidewalk,
intriguing dark street

Runes of Rue
you ...
were there, of-a-sudden ...
standing beside me
after nearly three tens of years -
right beside me
like no time had passed
as if broken hearts, new lovers and
children, and a river's tears had
not flowed downstream ...
as if those fading cares and
choleric words had never poisoned
the air between us ...
as if time hadn't weathered
our hearts, or a
million I love

Rue
A song that was inspired by Courage to Change by Sia.
I don’t know what to do
When you make me go through
The motions of the blues outta the blue
I’m left with rue all alone — what’s new?
I don’t know what to do
When you make me go through
The emptiness inside my bones of naught
On my own in

Rue
Rue,
With you
My mind is
Filled with worries.
You give me sorrow
Because of my error.
You bring remorse to my heart.
The reason why it is laden.
You have taught me to strongly lament.
You have given me the chance to repent.
