Not until when
      (as blue lilacs loom)
Eurus allays
      his wretched perfume
will stars overcome
      nocturnal hysteria
fading to midnight
      the blue-moon wisteria.

Allays apathy.

A yellow morning of zinc 
a tad of sunshine at brink 
a breath of fresh air in sync 
a girl cannot help but blink 

reel in the fun and skip in 
rosetta days in full swing  
reach for the skies and win  
rosy cheek girl go and sing 

to the kangaroo that plays
tottling in the park he allays 
trust in the spanding contain 
that trots in, only in May ...

Beautiful insect cupped in my hands,
Released to the air to fly over lands,
Assured that keeping you would speed your death,
You were released, I held my breath.

Orange glow from my hands deeply allays.
Within moments of a lifetime, brush cut, 
Feelings replaced by a punch to the gut,
Knowing its future like being aware 
My shadow follows someone else's dare.
Insanity is sadness for thoughts of
Others better care of the one you love....

You are our parents' only son,
three sisters grew
and gave you guff;
you stood alone on constant guard,
in teasing vein and comic mien.

I am the sibling next in line—
the cagey one—
a boomerang who fed it back,
if you began to clown around
and play the fool.

We are astute and wiser still
than number three;
her stiff chagrin,
her will to win,
enhanced your fun.

But sometimes love allays the fume,
as baby four
supplied the balm,
restored accord,
inside our home....
