But my diet is still going South! 
I weigh up the cheese, 
A little less, please;
Chop it off; put that bit in my mouth....

devout in terror
within the religious he hides
no rules does he abide
anger bubbles

within 
monumental 
versions
of herself,
among 
nights
spent
losing
doctrines,
she forgets

habits
for love
because 
fire 
speaks 
back 
to
her....

before launching a berth

The reasoning behind logic

The heartbeat of affection

nearing tiers of the devout,
smearing pleas on the glass as he peeps,
impotent, from the grass. He's about

and lovingly smooth it out....

A candle flame does not flutter
And is not extinguished,
For it is determined to glitter
And not to be  tarnished!
Said “ Dear devout,
Halt a moment and hark!

TWITTERING WINGS

Devout fairy in blue has followed you
As you twittered and boasted quite a few
Of so many friends
Embracing your dreads.
Embarrassed for you, so away she flew.

Pain departed a sacred portion of human flash.
A devout detortion and flamboyant living dash.
Flagrant flaunt impregnate impish liege slash.
Slanderous sleave and pitiable pithecanthrope,
Pishogue sagacious mistranslated pish a girl rash....

SING

Start with good cheer to sculpt pure voice,
Intuit right here that fragrant choice;
Now words spark clear as love inspires,
Grace ever steers wise, devout poise.

Look deep within devout life,  
find contentment bloom in grace 
the lotus of bliss in soul
as divine bouquet gifted by God.

Listen carefully
The throbbing current
Unmistakable
Ineffable bliss 
Heightened ecstasy

Ceasing grasping
Simply connect
With a prayer
In heart aflame

Path is clear
Goes within
For the pure

Devout 
Take the

Plunge

Fragrance in moonlight
traveling the moonlit miles
devout daffodils
Sunshine zealot, and later
the thrill of the starlit hills

Shades yellow and cream
and orange and rosy pink
plum daffodil night
Romance is in the charmed air
in galaxy unaware...
