We'Ve Only Just Begun

We've Only Just Begun, wedding staple,
like brides and grooms
musicians,

Add

performers,
the Carpenters,
and a simple tune becomes a classic.

Fair dawn calls

touching pale flesh, that

reminds me

to wake sparks

doused by threadbare night’s  lament--

till rays sun-dance eyes

I lost my job today
Because my boss couldn't pay
He thought it was okay
And I'd work another day
Without being paid no way
Was all I could say
Pick up keys he may
Tuesday I'll fix your pay
What more could he say
The waiting game I play!

Premium Member Our Sexuality

In sexuality, let us release the wearing
Let us not bear our sexuality like it is a burden to be borne
In sexuality, let us cease from the bearing
Let us all wear our sexuality as a testimony to be worn

when the moon is hot
and the sun a cooling
the stars lose their shine
when the clouds a fooling.

when one is in love
the whole world’s a grooving
her frame fits the glove
when her body’s a moving.

in a moment of muse
she sure lit my fuse.

Smouldering Love

Vowed
To love
Each other
Jealousy wailed
Shattered trust, broken heart, sleepless nights, us. 
Brew for woe, estranged us despair, perchance
Cupid finds one
Reignite	
Smoking

Silence

Words,  dumbstruck
Hushed, stuck
Seething, soundless
Tongue tied, speechless
Still, in a stupefied daze
Lashed by roaring waves
Of silence, pin drop
Strummed a mute song
With echoes across
The  entire cosmos

The smell of dead flowers,
Life dances at "zero hour"-s,
No wonder man is doomed,
when you sit there, deplumed.

Move away, you peasant mongrel,
I'm not to be held,
accountable or to any sense.

Lime-a-way,my sins, oh darling,
even after I washed hands,
they still feel so damning.

Birds flutter in autumn breeze 
Kids playing in the sun 
The dog scratch its fleas
As the orange sky shun

Bonfires blaze at the beachside
And the party heats up
Surfers catch a high tide 
Couples in the corner makeup

Settling in for the night 
Dreaming of autumn’s bright light

She has deepest blue eyes
With golden hair to match
Tight fittin' jeans her size
With a little knee patch

I'm in love no doubt
There's nothing else to say
She's all I think about -
On my mind all day

I am a simple man
Doin' the best I can

I would write for you
   a poem simple and true,
where the words fall short
   due to another's ill report
of this love for you.

Here is my open heart
  waiting for you to chart
ins and outs of deepest love
  unspoken lines and rhymes thereof
the gift I freely impart.

Begone From Me

A
thorn you
are in my
side; contempt for
you I must struggle
to hide; my confidence
in you will not abide; you
confer with my foes like the in
and outgoing tide; though, I wish you
well as long as your distance becomes wide.

Trapped In Eternity

Cosmos.
Trapped behind glass
I stare through blinkered eyes.
The world beyond, in rain and shine,
Bewitchingly beckons beyond the frame.
A frivolous moment in time,
Snapped in surreal flash,
Framed forever!
Flowers?

Premium Member Sunflower Showers

Raindrops falling on my head and all over me;
Or is it shower drops falling and cleansing me?
O, not to worry, because sunflowers befriend me;
And I am protected from soap getting into my eyes.
I’m neither glad nor sad, but I’m clean and wet all over.

Promises I haven’t kept yet Float in day’s dusty dusk, I tell old sun wait Don’t set until I ask. Memories enter year’s last night Lie somewhere in domain unknown My dawn new sun lights Dreams dazzle in uplifted horizon. Music of life I’ll hear I promise the New Year.

Microcosm

I walk among stars,
my vibrant soul resonates
their brilliant symphony.

It tells the story 
of us, each reaching out for
the divine in the other.

A Love To Last a Life Time

This love must not stop,
It comes from deep heart
which rises to the top,
No one can set apart,
I've found you at last,
Just like moon and star,
Disappointment is in the past,
As our emotions travel far,
Which makes others to emulate,
And true passion to escalate .
