Once was a smart, forward-thinking young lady in Gloucester
Her wayward-thinking lover she summarily oustered
Since his libido he couldn’t control,
Ceremoniously, he had to go
And soon, thereafter, he became a carnival rouster.

Ah
As the music of the morning
Plays ceremoniously
As an orchestra
I am enlivened
I am overcome
With the sounds
Of enchantment
Of beauty
Of the world
My still feet
Cannot remain still
As they must move on
To the sounds
To the rhythm
Taking me to
Other destinations
Of beauty of the day...

we come
donning our best
our head and heart clear
with pure intention
we sit in silence
ceremoniously
lighting the calumet
in peace and harmony
letting our silence
speak
our peace offering

At the mussel restaurant
You order up a pot.
Ceremoniously, they’re served,
Piled high and piping hot.

Scoop some shells and use your tiny
Fork to pull the meat.
Sop the sauce with crusty bread,
Each bite a tasty treat.

Sip a draft beer and relax
For everything’s all right.
A mussel feast’s the perfect way
To welcome Friday night....

Leaves now crimson red
Faded yellow and brown 
In the darkness coals 
Flicker like jewels on a crown
Sipping wine and cuddled up
I settle in for sleep
Dogs dozing cats as well 
Birds nodding without a peep 
Candle flicks to and fro
Drafty house propels its own 
Bewitching shadows dancing
Ceremoniously on the wall
I fear conjured beasts
No sleep at all

a lazy stream
meanders
under
sullen
midday sun
beneath a rustic 
wooden bridge
regal koi fish
ride
ceremoniously
humbled
glistening
glittering
rippling
gentle flowing waves

Spherical Exchange

Dawn unwraps the sky and wraps up twilight,
All birds, plus boats, exalt anointing prime,
Colors glossed to their righteous hues, picked time,
Advent horizon ere an orb takes height,
Chance night favored souls harmoniously,
Spheres gift display ceremoniously,
Dawn unwraps the sky and wraps up twilight.

Phthalo Blue and White
My
White spirit is lifted
And poured ceremoniously yet with an air of joy
As colours are mixed upon the plate
To paint
A baby boy
Each shade and light I know so well now
As the lines on my left palm
I hope to reproduce his smile
With the very same
Gentle charm
I don't even know his name yet
But I know the phthalo blue which rest as his eyes
As gentle little halos though so young
Appear
Strikingly
Wise...

It's a term coined
for the times

propelled by actions
ceremoniously indulged

whimsically by the populace.
It's growing daily,

masses in tune
bubbling to surface

rife with rebellion.
Senseless conventions

imposed by the machine,
discrepancies enlightened

with blinding rays
of rationality

superimposed upon circumstances.
Keeping up the fight

against all odds
baffling to mindfulness

as they scramble to react
to tides of mistrust....

The beginning of the end, with the hour glass set in      reverse continuum
A reset and reload, of moments weaved and spread through the sands of time

1,2,3,4,5……5,4,3,2,1…
The irony of counting up and down simultaneously
The amalgamation of old and new, harmoniously
A habitual ritual carried out ceremoniously

Time stands still, as it fades away
"Reminisces", a dish for the day
 Sketching yet another 360 pathway

Cheers !!! to that which is made of clay...

Silk word play crosses in two and subtle mind games, 
both entangle me; whetting my appetite for war.
Served as a weaponized aphrodisiac;
sharp double edge sword hors d'oeuvre.
Lured toward a subtle intoxication;
true motives ceremoniously exposed.
You trace the contours of my every word;
the renegade now juxtaposed.
We traverse to foreign places unaware;
time itself intensifies, yet slows.
Demons spill from lips to fan the flame of desire;
our spirits overflow....
