Anticipating, beckoning, casting demonic, enviable fury, gazing hungrily inside, jutting kerosene, littering masses never opted, putrefying quills, reverting sympathy, turning upside-down…vaccinating whim, x-raying yesteryears…zero in...

American Born Congressmen
Drive Enviable Farrari's-
German Hostesses Inherit Jeeps!
Kentuckians
Lease
Mules
Nightly,
Offending Police!
Quiet Republicans Seem Troubled;
Unless
Vacationing Women Xylophonists,
Yodel
Zippingly!...

My thirst for undying love I wished to quench 
Drinking from the source of your enviable lips  
Few droplets of nectar my soul was able to sip
That ample were though my craving to eclipse!

Oh, my troubled eyes,

Stop gazing at her enviable figure 
  
For

No matter how much of her beauty, able 

You would be to devour

Still

My heart’s longing for her, insatiable 

Would stay!

My burning thirst for undying love I wished to quench
 
Drinking from the pure source of her enviable lips  

Few droplets of nectar my soul was able to sip

That ample was though, its craving asap to eclipse!

Autumn waits on the back of September’s wings /
transforms her green to enviable hues /
the castanets of crickets like shamans sing,
chant to the moon ~ their hallowed muse.

Even the most luminous petal
of the enviable rose
will share its magnificence 
                        for such a short time

As such, we must appreciate
each moment of its glory
for even from the most noble,
                 petals do whither and fall

Like the rose in full bloom
we must shine every day
and live every second
                while the sun is our friend...

White is the color of the pristine page
Awaiting words from an angry poet,
Soon defiled by inexplicable rage
Surely intentional s/he did show it,
Living forever words of this dimwit
Making of the page a blackened abyss
Devoid of kindness, enviable bliss,
Expressing instead the venomous ply
Delivered like traitorous Judas's kiss
On internet page that will never die.

I see the small flashes of the last remaining fireflies in the dark September sky. A couple of stragglers, unaware that even in the warm night, that summer is drawing to an end. Apparently they had not received the memo the rest of their brothers had. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one aimlessly flying around, clueless to the enviable change. Goodnight lost little fireflies. Goodnight kindred spirits of the warm September night......

Though you call me molehill,
Still I shall attain my height.
The more refuse you deposit 
The higher and mightier I become.

So when you blow up your dust
Or sling your wicked mud
And in your joy on me they sediment;
Mock me not I do not see mud nor dust
But another layer of  my enviable size.

Your garbage is by no means hurdle,
It is the thrust to my destined height.

Songs of power,
Something inside so strong.

My muse is the wind
that blows my life...
she fills my soul
with tender charms...
she makes me a lion
with management presence of lioness...
She supports me with her
wisdom,  and with enviable
ability dispels my fears...
Yet she watches me constantly,
I just agree and submit,
I listen to her advice...
I follow her movements similar to
flag in the wind...
She makes me live and I confess:
I don't live without
  her sortileges... !...

A moment of pause was needed
in the eerie lull after the
gathering of dreams, to enter
the corridor of voices.

We stopped looking through
our tongues, across the bitterness
of burning river, after the mud
in our eyes.

The black tar of the golden wood
between us was smearing the family
of crying pillows.

All the silver was tumbling
down from the stairs of calcified
faces of virgins.

The god was yet to be born !

Oh to have one's heart-string strummed by a 
loving angel-like hand! Like lumps on a head
are those lumps on the heart, a read of life's 
mixtures of orchids and desert sand. Oh to see 
an angel-like smiling back...divine halogens on steroids!~
a lost vision to my ailing heart -- deeply regretting
our divorce...the absence of my home...with a pool...
a country-club setting, and that enviable Master's style
golf-course you so hated. Missing you....

A red bird, motionless 
A cardinal rare to my city eyes
And almost indistinguishable 
From it’s neighboring autumn leaves
Crimson and rusty, 
Feathered with impatience 
For winter.

A red bird
Silently invisible 
Aside from a telling
Twitch, or a quiver, or the flexing of wings 
The blink of an empty eye.

A red bird
Enviable and unenviable 
And all to itself as it
Considers not a thing
Except whether to take flight
Or stay perfectly still....
