C-alm ocean is viewed, 
H-aving no movement or wave, 
E-verything is fine.

C-lear blue sky shows up, 
C-alm wide ocean brings silence 
T-o the horizon.

Pleasant touch I miss
Emerging from your embrace
Alone in abyss
Calm allure of love I trace 
Enshrined in sanctum of peace.

Crossing the hoedown lines 
Courteous men tilted hats 
Country cowgirls in skirts 
Corsets set on fire 
Careening to music 
Crystallography,... stop
Calm returns,  silent floor.

An alm-timed good deed
got evilly rewarded
The saintly gesture, labor of love
was given a
perfidious payment

Death by dissimulation
uttered a bullet cry
Good Samaritan intentions
was given a
hot metal, cold evil eye

A warm welcoming, kind-hearted try
was given a
glowing halo goodbye...

he face that was familiar is no more
Yet he haunts me in my dreams and  in my days
I miss him  for his judgment and his heart 
The face that was familiar is no more
Yet in my mind’s eye i can see him now
Humorous and kind , I alm distraught
He haunts me in my dreams and  in my days
The face that was familiar is no more...

P lacid as northern lights she sings
R esonating  a harp strumming at dawn
I dyllic aura she exudes with grace
N o one can fathom except her chosen 
C alm as the silence before sunrise
E vanescence of her presence lingers
S ealed with love, a perfect daughter
S hining like Sirius, a gem to behold

L-et fifth February fun 
A-im to light up the day; 
I-t's Sunday morning glory, 
C-old chill fades 
A-way. 

A-llow the night to fade, 
M-ist and haze diminish; 
E-vening shadows disappear, 
R-ain begins to vanish. 
I-n sight is a wonderful creation, 
C-alm and silent is the sea; 
A-llow your vision to view, as far as your eyes can see....

I became quite
When I feel
they no longer want
my presence and good vibes

I became quite
when I feel
my voice and expressions
can't pass through their deaf ears and blind eyes

I became quite
when I coincide with reality
that loved ones always stand by your side
no matter how hard his life

I became quite
when I learn truth
he is happy with others
when I completely cut ties

PARADISE

P alm trees swaying in a tropical breeze
A bsolute beauty intoxicates, and frees me
R adiant smiles on happy children's faces
A s they gaze upon fading rainbows traces
D oubt and fear are no longer paralyzing
I nnocence reclaims it's place, all dreams realizing
S pectacular sunrise and sunset every day
E verlasting life's pleasures, coming our way!

Yuletide blackboard,
tally the good, dirty snow ugly and the bad
Chalk it up to life learning experience,
golden sleigh bell reward
Past mistake spots erased so mistletoe glad,
mend every sad, broken-hearted fence
Kicking clean fresh holiday scrubs — 
kiss the new year baby
with a merry, evergreen cheek rub
Go charity palm crazy ...
Do it alm right from the very start,
giving daily
those precious gifts from the heart...

V-isions of the shadows
A-re gone after the night; 
N-ew dawn has just broken, 
E-nding the dark of twilight.
S-unrise appears early, 
S-miling at you with warmth; 
A-gainst the coming storm, it keeps you away from harm.

C-alm and cool weather
A-ttests to the moment of glory; 
S-pecial someone celebrates
T-wenty-eighth morn in January.
R-emember the Lord Almighty who called you into the fold; 
O-ffer Him praise and glory, for He treasures you like gold....

A-llow Thursday fog to fade, 
R-ain has just gone away; 
C-old chill of the night 
H-as turned into warm day. 
A-llow Friday sun to rise, 
N-ew flame is burning bright; 
G-leams give glints and glows, 
E-ventide turns into 
L-ight. 

C-alm ocean and silent sea 
A-re signs of a fine weather; 
L-et December sixteenth 
M-ake you wake from slumber. 
A-s you open your eyes 
T-o see the true hue of the sky; 
E-arly dawn will break, 
O-nce the view doesn't lie....

Love is the halo of my heart 
the curved bow of my steely dart
the signature of my hand write 
the diamond shine of my sunlight 

Love is my truest companion 
my hungering feast or famine 
my distressor, my dopamine 
my soul's benefactor & sheen

Love is both turbulence and calm
a hand offering, a peaceful alm 
a juxtaposition-sibling 
and a song thats ready to be sung 

Love is a bouquet of flowers, 
with the scent of April showers.
