Cecilia, whose creative words as gentle rain sustain

And fed the language that had dormant lain

As spirit of the muse with which I weave

Granted me poetic soul I could believe...

There was a young man named Lee
Who left home without a key
He came back in the dark
His wife fired a shot
Then checked to see who was he

Busy lives hinder love making sessions
This leads to sadly many depressions
        Ten minutes of good fun
      Connect now with your one
A quickie is much needed and freshens

A lady named Ottava Rima
who hailed from Peruvian Lima
would write down her verse
then bellow and curse
All the structure just made her Scream-a!

Night time skies tell me that I don't matter,
But a blue eyed lady tells me I do.
My friend, the difference is everything
For the moon and the stars can be wrong too.

we stay till the time,
that our fate string is cut,
served time  4 our crime,
our next step is up,
new adventure sublime...
soul onwards, winged stuff...
to flounder and flap, 
to get the beat right enough....Don

I miss you here




Sudden blush on face
as my sobbing heartbeats throb,
How I missed you all these days ;
Yearnings set ablaze 
to melt in your warm embrace,
Tears burn my rosy red cheeks.

One
told us,
learn from
the flowers 
and birds--
beautiful 
and
thriving--
with 
no cares

joyfully give
be content
love

two coats?
give one away

Aligning

perhaps it was a karma sign,
where once before a different life time,
sow to reap begins to chime,
we suffer here, it aint divine?
possible payback for the crime,
what would i know,
it's the hurting mime,
ironic patterns divining,
your planet is aligning ,
with mine?

Be valiant I say
After sun setting splendor
Gloaming ushers in pathos
Words spoken at night
You and I forevermore
Melancholy without you

Unpredictable
Ghosts monsters vampires of dark
Past frosted crystal lamp posts
The cemetery
This is where you are resting
Came to tell you I miss you

Storm knocked out the power, the candles are now lit
Ice cream is going to melt, so let's make a banana split 
Bring out the board games, time to use our skills and wit
Conversations are much better, don't you agree a little bit
Let's snuggle to keep warm come over here with me and sit
Making memories by candlelight is the best we must admit.

Cecilia has set me a challenge – to order my favourite pud
If I can say sticky toffee pudding it would be oh so good

But I may make another error and it could come out so bad
If I said stiffy cockie pudding again it would make me oh so sad

But a thought has just occurred to me – I don’t need to use my voice
My husband can order for me, then I’ll get the pudding of my choice!

~ Aura ~
                     Surrounds the place
              Where a wedding was blessed
     Two souls shared their vows and their hearts
  A long life, joined dreams, love beyond measure
       Their presence lingers though their gone
                   Magic of love prevails
                       Glowing brightly      
                            ~ aura ~

Painting #7
Twilight Confidences by Cecilia Beaux 1888


Change The World 

Assurance guides the night air 
adhering to the cries of the poor, 
muffled voices in the midst 
of a wedding feast. 

Bound by promises 
and sacred oaths, 
imprisoned by freedom 
to never rest 
until all have found 
God’s mercy. 

Twilight confidences 
shall never utter 
one word of doubt 
instead, solutions 
that are certain 
to change the world....

Merry Christmas to all
And to those I have missed
Santa will make up for it
With a big Santa kiss

And you gentlemen guys
No kisses I'm afraid
But a treat from Santa
You can ride in his sleigh

Merry Christmas P-Soupers
In this time of good cheer
May happiness reign
Through all of next year!
