There's A New Star Guiding Us

Do you fear a world
unforgiving and proud?
Do you feel little or no joy living into it
when danger makes you shiver at night?  
Do you avoid jealous eyes
that envy your charming beauty
for silly and unexplained reasons?
Never show your anger at anybody...
because there's a new star guiding us,
and it is the shiniest one on nights
when darkness hides all the others!

It's so unreal to have found it
in the immensity of this universe
not contemplated by any lovers,
we surely are the lucky ones
to stare at it and simply own it...
feeling an emotion so intense!

There's a new star guiding us,
we let it take us to other worlds;
it's a long journey in space 
away from the Human Race!

Are we sorry for our decision
to discover what can't be seen?
No, we will not return to Earth 
to witness more chaos and filth!
Dire is the fate of lawless and loveless people:
they trust  in humans rather than in God alone!

Getting Caught in an Elevator

My daughter who was then, just about seven.
The sun had just settled softlty in the Pacific.
We were in Ghiradelli Square, a joyful place,as is heaven.
Into an elevator we went so sparkling  clean and spiffy terrific!

It was an elevator with walls of shiniest metal.
I pressed the command button, to take us merrily down!
Alas, the brightly lit buttons, did not work as itheu should.
Its tall, chrome doors shut, but the elevatotr refused to move?
How I frowned!!

Aha! But not to fret, I was intelligent enough to recall….
And reassure sweet Elena, that I would find a way out.
With lightning speed, I recalled the phone on the wall.
And so I could call and smoothly we’d be safe and let out!

My heart filled with joy, to that phone, I hustled posthaste.
I prayed, oh, please, let some Angels be very near.
But finding out the panel was dead, my heart sunk to my waist!
Suddenly, a knock on the door, help had arrined, Elena and I 
gave three cheers!!

Windowshopping

Metals I adore
Shiniest gemstones galore.
Staring into store
Windows filled with those jewels,
Filled with beautiful colors.

Unrelentless Knight

For so long he ran
As fast as he could
The farther it became
As much as he did
He tripped, fell and bled
So he figured
Eyes will do better than legs
For so long he walked
Hopeless water drips from his eyes
And on he marched
The knight with the shiniest armor
And yet, he was bruised and exhausted
Countless miles have been travelled
And yet not a single step taken

Evermore

A glitter gel pen,
My captivated thoughts,
Communicates in a clear page of my notebook.

I got the bruise of blue,
And began to wonder
The paradox of living all summer
How life has become cruel and kind?
To go from growing up,
To breaking down.
The shiniest wheels are rusting now.

Like water falling in a river,
My sapphire tears,
Came rushing down my scarlet cheeks,
Got within me to shiver.

There were pages turned,
With the bridges burned,
And I had no idea
I've got a lot of lessons learned.

Obsession

Obsession in the sky above, such infinite beauty I truly love 
Beyond the earth I see Mother Moon and stars and planets too
Saturn and Jupiter through my scope sends shivers to my spine
Even Saturn’s rings I see clearly and Jupiter’s many moons
Shiniest planet, favourite by far, is sparkling, glistening Venus 
She really is the jewel in the crown, this diamond way up high
ISS is another treat and I always wave as she passes me by
Oh lucky me having balconies high, so much closer to the sky
Now seeing an exquisite sunset, brings tears of joy into my eyes

As Simple As A---

From the shiniest skies, there remains no glorious vision,
From the greatest landscape, there exists no prominent formation, 
                                                                                      ... than a smile.

Parcity

We file on through scheming life's snaring wiles,
Unlearning bitter lessons sad yesterdays taught;
Biting humble pies for blunders repeatedly made,
Yet unheeding despite like fights erstwhile fought. 

Our one-way treks through world's tasking routes
Are at best rehearsals for imagined second walks, 
Which infeasible rematch with sad selfsame bouts,
Fleeting breath rightly nips with her cunning clocks. 

We thus ought to vastly more steadfastly move,
And with every strengthened stride amply prove
The truth that living pops but once for each man;
And we simply die if we do not live while we can. 

Smiling turns occur to usher in impatient others,
And hence no round retarding backward unfurls;
Our feet still unseen episodes constantly beckon 
Into new climes wherein time's shadow smothers. 

We must seize our fresh hour in its shiniest hue, 
While rawest pep throbs in each vein and sinew.

Amour

I know all outward beauties like purest roses wear,
And summer's brief warmth like eddy breath fleets;
Shiniest pearls do with piling age outlive their time,
And give way to sad eternity’s far gleaming sweets.

Tales of more glittering gems felled by time's scythe
Can’t and won’t amend my love-warped mind's twist,
That lauds you immune to swift clocks’ antics blithe,
Mightier than meddling night’s beauty-dimming gist. 

Lover’s diction’s fantasy strings its eternizing tropes 
That dub your eyes undying stars in a deathless sky;
Your coy smiles birth phoenix sparks that hardly die, 
Indelible signal that real Love begets ageless hopes. 

 Infinite desire’s intense tics render your span longer
Than sudden death's shortened gloom and stronger;
Outwitting unfeeling graves’ opportunistic mischiefs,
Outfoxing timid decays and their love-thieving griefs. 

Let's love as shiny suns soar higher over fogging clouds,
While knavish darkness dreams on in its veiling shrouds.

Prognostication

Most rigorous astrology can hardly divine
Why flamy galactic orbs often burning fall; 
Or the calm pull behind shiniest meteorites'
Hurtling lower from their neat nestlings tall. 

I own that apt eyes as of the lauded Magi may
From starry ciphers tap signs of a coming day; 
Yet no tiny mass among the fiery marvels high, 
Can answer when first they graced the idle sky. 

While I'd rate their near-syzygies tolerably rare, 
I know ethereal balls as bereft of all oral strain.
All sheen but full non-awareness of birth-date, 
Ought to render these speechless vapors vain.

What telescoped forms of dumb orbitings mute
Might imbue with insight in placid images cute
Any salient squinter into thick lens herebelow, 
Where tiptop harps and strung wonders bore? 

Astrologers and their crafty stars will sweat to tell, 
Where and when their augury-warped instincts fell.

My Love Affair With Orange

Orange is my utmost best color, my best friend, my girl.
She laughs from the rooftop, and she makes me mouth curl.
She glitters and she shines, her happy feelings for me.
Today I may take out my paints and paint an orange tree.

Most of my women cartoon paintings are ginger heads.
They come into my mind before I get out of bed.
I look around the bedroom and I laugh and I sing.
My many red-haired paintings, it makes my mind truly zing.

I have a paisley orange shirt and an orange evening gown.
Some people want my autograph, and mob me in town.
I do not dare wear either of them on my shiniest day.
I would be so manic, the mental police would cart me away.

Falling In Love With a Damsel Fly

A damsel fly on lilac leaf – shyly, coyly, lovingly giggles her way into a young elf’s heart.
He is a simple elf, life for him has been humdrum until the second he looked into her lavender love eyes.
His heart beats fast as she stares at him.
Life for him has been dull until this second.
Parts of the elf he did not know he had respond unbidden, suddenly violently alive
As he watches the sensuous fluttering of her eyelashes.
She giggles.
Nearly his undoing.
He races inside his mushroom home, and begins transforming himself.
He brushes his teeth, washes his face, 
Puts his best clothes and shiniest shoes on.
Alas, when he arrives after this frantic pace
The beautiful teasing damsel fly is utterly and completely gone.

Tupelo, Mississippi

Do we know why Tupelo, is famous amongst the stars
Does “Love Me Tender” help, or are you living on Mars
Yup! You guessed it!
The swinging hips
A fellow named Elvis was probably the shiniest of stars

Peace

Do I have to tell you how beautiful you are,
That you don't have to be the shiniest star,
That your flaws are gorgeous, I would rather see,
The man behind the mask of authenticity,
Your days of striving to be perfect are over now,
You can relax and be yourself,
Come, sit down, have a cup a tea,
Go ahead, scratch your ass, it doesn't bother me,
Please understand, my heart is for you,
I've seen what this world has put you through,
Simple love sits, quietly waiting,
The most honorable love anticipating,
This weight on your shoulders is over and gone,
God brought you to this place and humbled your heart,
Do not worry about what everyone else has to say,
God knows your heart and he paves the way,
Trust in his love and you will see,
The peace that was missing that set your heart free,

What Spikes My Pulse

To sip sickly sweet cardamom
tea with cinnamon and honey
And eat cakes by the Parthenon
where the whole blue world is sunny 

Not a single sweet iced daydream
not some drug induced affection
Can warm me like your mild sunbeams 
and your smothering perfection

The potions that I, earthly, know
create happiness so it seems
But no gilded high nor base low
can match you in my fevered dreams

I snatch at the shiniest toys
I can't stop my sickly impulse
Of all the injectible joys
Your love is what spikes my pulse
