Listen to poem:

Behead your bygones
   that don't belong.
Beget and bedeck
   your being, 
   with much better
   less belligerent bees....

Had some lonesome soul not wrecked,
and fortune never let preclude,
to disrupt this butterfly effect,
then, in this world I'd not bedeck....

THE  GARDENER



Planted in the earth and  grown,
I rule a  world that’s sown

With seeds and roots
And greening shoots.

Fruits and  flower
Bedeck this bower.

Nature helps me tend
This garden  well,  my friend....

Kindness the Almighty showers,
In the form of gladdened flowers ,
Sea of love he oars through,
Unto us, the treasure of blessings he pours too!

His creations bedeck every land,
An unending hope he rays out of his palm,
World is submerged into the pupil of his eye,
He decides the destiny and rolls the die !...

Robes of gold and purple
Flecked with a scarlet thread
Poemgranate,gold bells around the hem
Epaulets of onxy,engraved upon each gem.

Jacinth,agate beryl,amethyst
Jasper,diamond and sapphire,
Bedeck this fine attire...
Of a holy priesthood,dressed to serve the king.

'Tis that time again to bedeck the tree with decorations!

   Untangling the string of lights is one of my annual frustrations!

      Naughty words are said but when all is said and done, you'll,

         Happily declare that sans a Christmas tree it wouldn't be a Yule!

Your will, your hand

The will is might, if you have mind.
Walk through miles and God you will find.
Bedeck your life to soothe and bright.
If you have mind, the will is might.

Nothing is “can’t”, without your hand.
Your hand by nature is armed hand-
Empower to rule--- rule out “shan’t”.
Without your hand, nothing is “can’t”.

February throws off its winter coat,
Nature awakes to greet the warming sun,
then hides from the winnowing winds of March;
Greening lawns answer the mower's call,
grass,mud and moss recycled in trees,where
territorial praise greets light April;
Fresh foliage bedeck and blossom white
as Spring flowers in high definition,
ablaze and become technicolour May....

ZEPHYR


She strolls out in a summer woodland glade
The leaves of fall bedeck her head to feet
She  hurries through the snowy city street
Her singing in the springtime does not fade


Cool my tired shoulders at the days end
Caress my cheek with feather soft and light
Whisper tales of love all through the long night
Wake me fresh and pure, everlasting friend...

Imperceptible
              footsteps
in curious 
               shadows,
buildings
             drizzled-wet,
smoked blackened
casement spider-
                         webbed
bedeck
        the worn-out windows:
dust&voices
         in empty streets,
vagueness
banality all around-
a transient
nocturnal breeze
surrounds
the dying
             diadem
relic of the once
opulent
           rich...

When fingertips are rough
Connect them with the wire
And let them freely slide and twang
The resonate supplier

The frequency transpire
And waves that flood the room
Do soften roughened fingertips
When audit’ries abloom

How sonic muse do plume
So disregard the stage
It’s in your hands, it’s there and then
Embittered and assuaged

The opened spruce-wood cage
And canvas to bedeck
Do welcome roughened fingertips
To dance the wiry neck...

Its over and over well done
Blown bridges over blood vessels we've sunken
Hieroglyphics elaborate on our wedding tomb, we yearn
And like so many before, ashen lips bedeck our urn
There's no love lost between our petrified hearts
In separate spells we've cast our parts
And so this dry necromancy has ran a four course 
Desert anyone? Blind these eyes to our own faults, devour the corpse

--------------
Yes, I'm back!
Desert is spelled like that on purpose ;D...

Nature's Lessons

Chirping swallows sing anew
Each day a fable untold
of hope to chant the next morn
of joy to watch wings unfold

Swaying trees standing high
Surviving violent gale
Tendering tiny buds
Providing feathers a lair

Gentle blossoms smile lively
Fragrance induce delight
Splashing cheerful colors
Painting the grey world bright

Sunbeams bedeck sleepy clouds
Reliving yester's distraught
Inspiring to start afresh
and learn the lessons taught...
