An Autobiography
I am a lone tree, An ancient sentinel rooted deep Whispering songs of the past on the breeze. I am a stick of dynamite, a fuse burning low An explosion of feelings, just waiting to blow.

Life Changing
________________________________________ Life Changing In these quiet woods, as shadows spread, Timorous leaves whisper my secrets to the breeze. A sentinel of time I am among the malus trees. My roots run deep in my seed’s homestead. -- I stir under the warm sun anew. My blossoms blooming bouquets of pink petals fair, I stand in...

Nature's Sentinel
In a great, entangled forest, stands a metal monster— An impossibility of nature, made by man. Alone; Broken—it looms over all things natural And asserts its right over the creatures that belong.

MIDNIGHT MELANCHOLY

The moon, a lonely sentinel in the sky, Casting its pale light, as time slips by. A symphony of silence, whispers in the air, Midnight's melancholy, a burden hard to bear. The stars, like tears, twinkle in the...

Sentinel of Love
Some lover's jealousies are such a tight squeezing embrace that the loved one can't help feeling coiled and embroiled like in the grip of a loving beast or literally a bear's hug And which makes her sigh, why God ever chose to model her into a beauty For the near perfection of her face and figure highlights to him his imperfections such that...
