moonlight gleamed unseen
wolfen howling full of moan

behind dulcet verse
a dazzling chant of plucked strings
moonlight gleamed unseen

a grimly immortal sigh 
on someone's desolation

Its body gleamed brilliantly in the early rays of that April morning, as I waved it goodbye.

Oh, regal morning.
Golden rays gleamed grateful skies. 
Pale blue heavens warmed.
Owls retired to their nests.
And dawn greeted a new day.

Lights twinkle on gilded bows
Brown eyes gleamed that silent night
your first Christmas gift to me
you were there, smiling.

When I saw her
On top of stairs
I was dazzled
By the intense light
She radiated.
In hers eyes
Shined the fire
Of passion.
It was a fire 
Quenchless
Which gleamed
In hers figure....

I work for a fellow called Bain

   Whose cancer gives him a pain.

   I cleaned his house til it gleamed,

    made him feel better it seemed

   So he asked me to come again and again!

Church bells rang in stark fanfare

Ghosts gleamed sprightly rescue flare

Bones crumbled the dance on immortal grave

Scavengers of death forgot to behave

Until souls gave them a scare

Silence sings to me
The song of sleep, while my soul
Clichés autumns breeze
Where it roves in wild gleamed trance
As dream broke realities.

Sound
of the birch-
urged some tardy traveler
along the flowery path to drowsy nooks.

Gleamed,
the dark moat and
the castle walls droned.
Wind moan'd, disbranching a sliver of wood.

Perfect love with purple hearts;
Keeps lavender green;
Jealous lives captured lies;
Missions gleamed;
How I start, to release the seems;
perfect love is lavender;

Hotpants showing off tanned legs
as long as a June school day

Blonde pigtails framing wide eyes,
bluer than Peruvian opals

Cherry lips freeing sly smiles
that gleamed on those dark nights

Eager heart sharing ill fated love
with this lucky, grateful lover...

no birdie with a yellow bill
hopped upon my window sill nor
could he see me blinds were drawn the
window shut on day's cold dawn and
no cocked and shining eye gleamed thru
the glass and on I dreamed while passed
the time and I not shamed by sloth
prefer my birdies cooked in broth...

Love for the Stars and Stripes
Took him to far places
He was proud and duty bound
And then his life changed

On his chest the medals gleamed
There, oh those red ribbons
That he could not see 
But memories of her face

she was above the skies before her time,
praised under the pillow of clouds...
the finest actress alive,
unreached atop the pedastool of angels.
soon fame brought fever to her bed in space,
and mens eyes glowed as she gleamed down to earth.

Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night 
The lampposts glowed at midnight's dark 
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park

Like 'El Beso', lips locked so tight
Bodies glared, though dim was the light
Heart and mind amalgamated
They gleamed, love's luster elated...

One dark eerie Halloween night,
Count Dracula gave me a fright.
His pointed teeth gleamed,
I bolted and screamed,
When he asked me out for a bite!

I had to shoot my head up to see the top of his
He towered over me 

He did not speak much
but he was never quiet

I often got lost in him
and all the adventure he offered 

On the way to his home 
I knew I only needed a one way ticket 

His eyes gleamed throughout the night 
for he did not sleep...

Gem shone,
Diamond sparkled,
Pearls gleamed,
Even the water drops sparkled,
All of them needed light,
To do so,
Without the light,
None of them would have done so,
Despite intrinsic quality to do so,
It is about the same in life,
In order to shine your efforts,
Some light must be there,
To highlight....

Morning was born, softer than the pale of dawn
Glints of sunlight gleamed from pastel skies,
In my eyes, life was a beautiful canvas 
filled with wondrous hues from the palette 
held in the glorious hand of the Master Artist.

Glazing and glazing
Eyes that saw the world unfold
Now see only blank schemes

Fading and fading
Eyes that held the ocean views
Now see only still rain

Sinking and sinking
Eyes that span both day and night
Now see only time freeze

Closing and closing
Eyes that gleamed with wild fire
Now see light no more...

Sky
azure,
cotton cloud
convoy sailing
to gleamed horizon
on waves of beguiled breeze.

Crimson sun sinks slow spent,
bird flock bids farewell,
flies fast nestward,
wings wrapping
twilight
tinge.

Snow came throughout the night,

Not that we were aware.

Outside though it gently fell,

We awoke, and could but stare.  

From our frosted window panes

All looked so serene.

Lamplight lit a wonderland,

Lustrous winter, gleamed.
