So what
Defines me
Is it the stories
Or poetry
Is it my sheer
Perseverance
And finishing touch
It took so long
For me to master such...

You are one of a kind
A creative mind like yours is hard to find
Hold the brush that God has set aside 
for you
Know his finishing touch 
Will always reside 
in you...

My ultimate stroke feather in cap 
Is a grand slam, hole in one, rap
With home run icing, on the cake
Putting finishing touch, on keepsake
A perfected prize showpiece 
Which is a classic gem, jewel, entry
Written in highly expressive
Dowering, poesy, narrative...

With a stroke of the brush,
A dab of paint,
A portrait, I drew.
Blew into it the breath of life,
Lo! There it stays my Masterpiece

Angels shine quite brightly at midnight
causing a storm of bliss and peace to ignite

Raining down slowly come the spiritual snow
landing on people, ending all woe

Moonlight gives off a warm finishing touch
so souls don't worry so much

From this moment forward, tranquility shall last forever
as war won't come back, ever...

The Waiter, to the Feast of Life brings
the last dessert, the end of things

After you've had all of life's sweets, you've bitten too much
The Waiter comes in with the finishing touch

You've seen it coming, some take it early
but you've never really been in a hurry

You pucker,  but smile, at your last earthly treat
The Ambrosia of Death is so bittersweet...

The turkey in the oven
In the early afternoon
Getting hungry now
Mashed potatoes, carrots
Put out the cranberry sauce
On the dinning room table
Time to check the turkey
Disappointed, uncooked
Wait a few hours
It is still uncooked
So we had the cooked stuff
With the stuffing mix

When the turkey was ready
Our stomachs were full
Homemade cherry cake 
Was the finishing touch
Our meal was not so bad
Turkey served the next day...

Single Flame

Single flame flickers
No real warmth given
Illumination is minimal

This single spark of light evokes emotions
A finishing touch to a possible amorous night
A source of comfort in a pitch black room
A prop to heighten fears
Giving silhouette to an imaginary fiend

This rather, seemingly benign incandescent flame
Wraps itself around anything within its radius
Sparking our fascination
Whilst fuelling our imagination...

Every one cannot write a poem on love
Imagination of an artistic heart
And deep vision deep thought
And smooth emotion
Inspiration also be needed
To give finishing touch to work of art
Beautiful view of live beauty
Make dream awake
And fiction go in deep
Start to work on deepness of love
And fill the blank with magical words
View of artist while make view
Artistic heart squash the real color
A write on real divine glow
Who set objective of life
And solid reason to live a life...
