meadow obeys the fragrant breeze
caressing the waves encircling love
sweet scent of the passion
while a clement moon rises.

Let us leave 
Our home behind.
Venture out in
Evening's clement
Light, here in
Ireland's rugged 
North western
Edge, along the
Sea shore where
Seagulls soar....

Rich in vitamin C,
Red and juicy is this
Rubus plant genus that
Requires sun and rain in
Regions moist and clement.
Russia leads in their growth.
Roses they are kin to!...

The Gods ,Whom mortal beauty chase,
Pale, Dimly, at the sight of her face.
A Beauty so rare, of elegance and grace,
Loving eyes that adorn an Angels face.

cross your welter of confusion
i think of you often
in your sadness
questions still standing
a laps wrung of live
i see no clement sky
its the space i'm trying
that courts the day

Journey of the sun
on a path around heaven...
gives both night and day.

Oh moon of desire
shines upon this world of love...
sinners share the light.

Clement moon rising
this conflict of interest...
sun rises again.

For us  such art thou power
prudent yet bowed
clement it is to my eye
father of all saints
wills not to stay in myth
the later the more we miss
word yet wary not
thou honored to talk to thee
for i have thy spirit divine
and thy word abides in me...

I am the black poet with black book
The dark gold the black diamond
As hot as hot coal with out harm
The dark cloud with Clement weather
Cooking black words in the kitchen of
dark light and black pots
Driving Literature with bouncing rhymes
Like a black taxi driver with poetic license...

Time after Time
Be my Valentine
Barely in time
As Feb. 1st chimes
Delayed lines
To celebrate
Valentine's
Fourteen times
This month in rhymes
For my Wendoline's
Love Prime time:
Do throw in a line ...
Won't you, Clement and Clementine
Carroll and Caroline
Ciao: it's past my bedtime...

On a clement February morn
There we were you and I strangers
Unaware our lives would take a turn
Your maritime charm won me over
As love effortlessly blossomed
Who’d have known we’d soon be
Celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary

A clement breeze brushing over skin,
A salty scent breathed deep.
Eyes closed, waves heard below,
A muffled crashing,
A cool, gentle spray.
Eyes open, ebony ocean,
Stippled with touches of moonlight.
Rushing air caressing fingers,
Higher above the water.

A million grains of sand shifting under foot.

Still....

The threat of dark heavy clouds 
       May give way any moment
Sure welcome to clear away
       Winter's litter filth and muck 
Clement weather announcing
       Prelude to summer magic

When I hold you tightly
In pursuit of life’s dance
I spy just by perchance
Your ice blue eyes slightly
Against the clement moon
Whose beam of love by chance
Sets this stage of nuance
Yet passes by so soon,
I thank God this moment
For my eyes cannot see
Yet my mind’s eye roams free
Now in your arms regnant!

Once upon a time so brightly
I had this compulsion to dance
Just holding you oh so tightly;
In thoughts of romantic perchance
Realistic dreams of nuance.
Your silver beam of love the lure
Bathed in splendour ever so pure
In breath upon the breeze clement;
Held here within your light the cure
I thank the lord for this moment.

Apologies to Clement Clarke Moore

The Night Before Christmas

In juxtaposition to the Nativity, while the
house beheld a calm and somnolence splendors
were a cool and gentle balm, the quintescence
of the evening was a certain entourage that
would dispel the expectations of a puerile
melange.
"Veni, vidi, vice", he gave a joyous cry,
"Requiescant in pace, I'll see you by and by."...

A crippled devout is bedridden
None in his family to earn
His innocent, cherub children
Are dying of starvation!

With pouted lips they ask
‘O!  relenting  Lord hark!
To us why are you so merciless?’
Immutably He replies, ‘—Because you are faithless!!

‘The extortionist though he commits sin,
Prays me from his heart within!!’
Fie! Fie!! Relentless Lord!!!
Compassionate, clement Death! Be not proud!!...

wither
away not
to thee gifts reason

of art
wingless dove bestilled
on halfpace empyreal thy breast behooves

o'er yond clingiest fairgrounds
moor dawning flora
promising showboat sanctifying lightness
up from their beds and
to their feds and down
to their peds

all the same maternally presence clement
intimate cavernous fire claimants contest

a fleeting gesture
of unattainable love...
