firm rosy blossoms
titillating bounties of
plump luscious young buds

A Warlock was counting the bounties
From nabbing a Coven of Aunties
When to his dismay
Discovered that day
They all hid "The Curse" in their panties!...

Look at us O heavens deity! 
Look at us from Heaven Bower
Supplicants at thee are gazing
Bounties unto them thou shower
Midst of palest lights they singth
Hymns for Thee in Holy hour...

Beneath the putter
of December skies
twists the Magus,
who floats on dreams
concocted by
mortal lies
ensnared
in flecks
shed from
fear.

Such
wondrous
bounties
consume
vital tissue,
disbursing all
pure matter squeezed
through ecology
like fees tendering
lost gifts precious....

Roses you astound me with beauty
as i smell your wondrous scents
I stare at you blankly
thinking of past events

A rose you gave me
to mark special times
I think back dreamy
Life seems to rhyme

So many special memories
each one so poignant
full of life's bounties
each one so fervent

I would never pride myself in the decorated success of your yard
My grown hands' brim of gems, table minted in bounties
My name may have earned the glory of praise 
Yet, I count bliss in the favours of my descendants
Nothing unmatched would count of affluent
In their respect employed every human with love
That my pride in opulent fragment bold image as pumpkin moon...

True nature brings the force of God
before apparel ~ springs.
No livelihood suggest its own
more than the suiting's ring.

And as I loved thee, sought unknown,
the moments seemed to sing,
when asking for the will of God,
I found thy love's upswing!

No counter cross, my mind's emboss
is fetish with re-string,
while thee in natural bounties clause
stay gift ~ stay everything!...

Silence

Whispers when feelings don't own a voice
      Suffocates when love's candle dwindles 
Hides sorrows behind veil of fake smile
      Wears the mask of mute words
Speaks bounties when eyes with anxious hearts meet
       Falls as tears when pain reaches pinnacle
 A world within where resonates speechless speech
       Kept at heart stolen from dark late nights

Nature’s Bliss

Nature’s painting is splendid;
Beautiful and serene indeed!

Each hue and color so unique;
Not even in a rainbow are they seen.

Churps of a bird, fragrance in a flower;
Brings in life, rain in every shower!

Paints the painting nature everyday
Sprays color; wind in every sway.

Mist in the air and fresh breeze;
Bounties of nature are bliss!

I see your searching look 
Trying to read my heart

It is lying beneath the sheens
Protected and distanced

The heart did break
When I was left on the brink

I drifted with the ripples
To rest on prosperous shores

I'm surrounded by precious gems
That have made my life richer

Spiralling in my golden period
I ask no more of god's bounties

How you take care	
To make my small pleasures
Out of your great bounties

With what ease my beloved one
You build these chains around you
And stooping in grace melting in love
Mingle in my sight
Until this  face with all its blemishes
Untangles at every thrilling turn
Of your melody
And merges in your face

Eye in eye ear in ear sight and smell and touch
My Lord be me and mine in all and more such...

Hear the music,
be the dancer,
never seek the necromancer

swing away to Northern counties
where they have no written bounties
on your head
though  you can't clear it
all that's left is sword and spirit.

Don't return until I call you,
something magic may befall you.

Evil seeks to hold your hand,
now you are the one man banned,
until Merlin waves his wand
and brings you home,
you must be gone....

Thoracic clouds stream
Healthy with motion
In wisps of whipped cream
Slinging dew potion

Lifting flower face
Open to receive
Veritas of grace 
Exultant to heave

Wilted decays past
Insolvent in debt
Letting fortune last
Longer than regret

Salvaged from bounties
Across the divide
Valued in counties
Ever to provide

Legacies of truth
In churning reason
Fetching hidden youth
Each passing season....

The time of great bounty is upon us
soon the ripe laden fields will be picked 
the crops gathered, harvest finished
a time of rejoicing, of work well done   

Celebrate the cycles, season after season
watch the children's happy laughing faces
as they carry oh so carefully orange candles
a gift to thank mother nature for her bounties

All too soon the nights draw in, frosty is the air
a reminder winter's on her way, all now laid bare...

The cogs of time
are creaking to life.
The time has come for me to shoulder my
responsibility and become a man.
No, it hasn't.
It is time to shut up.
It's time for everyone to shut up.
Not time to think; thinking is an eternal funnel.
Time to grind the stones;
harvest the aeons of work.
The bounties of our travels,
Endless musty rooms of crystals and trinkets
are pulverized by the hulls
of twisted, shapeless juggernauts....

Gratitude 




Perpetual fragrance of life sojourns in air,
As golden glitz of sun swigs despair;

Nature endows its riches on us to cherish,
His boundless bounties will never perish;

A tranquil soul that plucks strings of kindness,
will relinquish soreness of brutish heartless;

Let magnificent aurora of dawn unfold,
and emotions of gratitude rise manifold.

And so the day it came to pass
They just gave up, the oceans died,
No life at all, a dead morass
It was a day that angels cried.

We watched them in their dying throes
Never taking time to tend the need,
There was a different path we could have chose
But we were blind and deaf, so took no heed.

Now begin our starving times
No fruitful bounties from the sea,
No need now for net nor line,
We have forged a desperate destiny....

Away from inundation's  bridge of feigned regret
where all the knowing in my eye recites no debt,
as if in reverence, conceal no wept
for all the reasons love weeps, I am kept ~

In weeping ~ as to love, I know new depth
and every tear sustains some beauty swept
unto your grace, I cleanse your every step
as to my bounties energy, I've slept ~

And all your motions to my feeling's left ~
are love, from your love's needing ~ thy concept.!...

"The sky prepares the sun for night
  Where drifting clouds are slowly steeping
  In tepid pools of waning light"
the moon's sweet polish softly keeping.

While birds drift off in blissful rest
and critters lay their snuggling heads
remembering how they passed the test
of life and praise upon their beds

The One who gave it all to them
Forgetting not His power
and dream bounties more than gems
until sun's rising hour....

OSPREY

On skies, you glared predator-proud talons and beak curved so
sharp as narrow-vision> focusing on doubling plenty to millions...

Prey abounded, you soared, till rivers faded to an unseen creep 
richly sipping of bounties seeping DDT, while in your high tower
eagles hawked tainted by death unaccounted, until eggs fragile
yielded cracks in their oval, speed-plummeting to cries of: why…?

A tarry bright smile
Whispers of soothing sounds
Tantalizing spices of seasoned aroma
Fragrances which evokes the upliftment
Of an unconscious soul
Beauty in it's modest nature
Life unwraps as it flips into series of previewing pages
Flashbacks of captions that entreats the mind
Distorted emotions creates a wavering countenance
Tales of trials
In pills and in portions
It disintegrates every story into pieces of treasured gold
Laying up bounties for a mysterious quest...
