Straps around his waist,
And shining armour loosened.
Brittle backbone hurts.
Notepad, pen: poetry waits,
Fantasy deletes all pain...

she writes, deletes, writes 
he skims and scans rainbow lines 
love flies with blue plumes

So loving sweet,
 kiss brings the heat,
a closer link to passion,
entitled here, 
your love sincere,
entitles you, your ration,
heartfelt, the mind retreats,
consumes one in its fashion,
till estacy deletes...

Be still my sweet when darkness comes
Lie there still, slip into dream
Permit me entrance to that place
Where last we planned with lover’s scheme

I’ll meet you there as done each night
Just take me, with your dreams, by hand
For as the moon deletes the darkness
The light of love covers our land...

A child, so badly hurt and cried,
Now laughing loudly while lying at my side;
Giving me lots of kisses and sweet embrace,
In her mind, painful words were all erased. 

Heart of innocence generates oblivious mind,
To easily forgive and forget, no more rewind;
Angelic love in a heart deletes mind's negativity,
Child’s oblivion is a paradigm for us to divinity....

I took a drive 
To clear my mind
To the mountains 
Left the world behind 
Air so fresh 
Skies so blue
Troubling thoughts
Only of you
A selfish soul
A wandering eye
Any skirt would do
Don’t ask me why
Sitting on this mountain
How free I feel 
From regrets or mercy
My senses reel
As darkness looms
The moon appears
A blanket of stars
Deletes my fears

Memories linger in the shadows
Retracing footsteps of my past
Trails I traversed now seem kinder
Rough edges by the years recast

Loved ones, friends, like crystal sparkle
In the light of elder days defined
The test of time deletes transgressions
Leaving just the best behind

How I love to sit among them
Sample each one as I may
Taste the nectar of a lifetime
Wrapped in my world of yesterday...

Is it  a myth that History repeats?
This universal question that time deletes

Is the evidence clear that it occurs?
Through eons and eons it strangely recurs

Is it true that  horrors are dulled by time?
This forever, unchanging paradigm

If wars are to end should it start with me?
To account for mankind’s insanity.
