Chocolate Chip cookies, is there anything finer
As a bedtime snack, there ain't nuthin' diviner
'Cept maybe a steak
Or a piece of cake
Hey don't blame me, had to make it a rhymer

Born of cosmic particles of light
she is beauty beyond imagining.
When she clasps her hands
in contemplation, suns are born,
the moon rides high on her shoulders.
Diviner of the universe, boundless 
power born of the goodness 
that encompasses all and endless....

Diviner of Pain

      Tell me, artful diviner of pain,
     I know so well your grim refrain
   Your ugly mask, your sneering scowl
  Your twisted knife, your jeering howl...

      A deceiver with a poisoned dart
        Why do you sit so easily
           Upon my heart?...

She was called Forsythia
     Born on the first of spring
Hair spun of yellow gold
     Her presence made us sing

New life on horizon
     In beauty may she grow
Radiant diviner
     Perennial tableau   

She was called Forsythia
     We love our Golden Belle
Casting love in the sun
     She has us in her spell...

I can’t smile
When my heart is sorrowful

I can’t help
When my mind is vague

I can’t dream
When my life is vissionless

Oh! my creator
When will my heart be happy?

Oh! my God
When will my mind be hopefully filled?

Oh! my diviner
When will my life be alive?

May be, 
When my lost sheep is returned to me
Safely and alive

Then I smile
And my heart is happy....

Steely, stealthy moon
Sculpted milky dune
Sparkling silver spoon
Sitting in its cosmic shoon
Free-floating gaseous balloon
Diviner of the celestial room
Crevasse holds fabled man in spittoon
Residual sunlight doth carefully prune
To sailors on the high seas a boon
Beacon for nocturnal creatures to croon
Harbinger to vixen, villain, buffoon
Cover for miscreant, spinster and poltroon...
