Covering all of the sky
Pin holes going through
The darkness fabric
Creating a calm feeling

And inventive lighting ways 
Have vanished like hay 
As modernity has drawn its ray
I resign to the designs
Of the chimes of the times
And stand still
Like a hill

Infatuation
Is when you scrutinize somebody
Strikingly illustrious
Love
Whenever you recall them
Aren't flawless
Decidedly, it has no effect.

Mid clouds of adulation,
topped with a golden crown,
he wafts so high above us
and smiles benignly down.

We lowly creatures wallow
here on these earthy sods.
Our eyes alone may follow
 his passage to the gods....

once when we were lovers
              we were illustrious bodies
               in the sunshine...
               we are now souls,
                lifeless shadows
               of the dark cave
                of loneliness......

On a fading stage of August
Lady summer reluctantly sheds
Her emerald robes of a dying season
As the blazing Autumn stands
In the wings 
Adorned in her gown
Of russet and gold
Awaiting her debut - 
Her opening night
Of an illustrious September...

America is a diverse and beautiful land,
Mountainous peaks to the warm ocean sand;
Everyone welcomed to life's liberty,
Reliable refuge for you and for me.
Illustrious giant of innovation-
Commitment to aide fragile nations:
America, the pacesetter of modern civilization!...

White
So illustrious
Giant flakes fall
Down onto tree tops
Sticking to the small branches
Rows upon rows of trees dance the road
Where the lane continues down
Looking away I can't see
The beauty shown
Fog escapes me
And leaving
White

Laudable, fine, upstanding folk.  
Year on year they shoulder the yolk.
Illustrious and kind,
Noble and refined,
Genial, with no wish to provoke.

Sincere as sincere as can be.
Honest – well, as honest as me.
Intelligent and witty,
Trustworthy and gritty.
Shame all this is pure fantasy....

My Kerouac heart attacks
In illustrious cigar smoke stacks
Against time, Wake up to talk,
To speak, Unknown for hours
Amidst your wilting sunflowers
Let's talk nonsense prose
Where death kills,
Love, at last, grows
My Ginsberg snowflake cries Howls
With Wolfbane growls
At my Kerouac heart...

Heavenly mist of fantasies alike
Enveloped in a shroud of wonder
The glorious culmination of deep desire
Void of pragmatic, logical gradation
Allow illustrious visions to transpire
For anchored dreams weather the soul

 Night fades away swiftly as brother Sun opens his illustrious eyes; how they glow through the puffball clouds, to enliven the day.  He blows out breaths that warm Gaia’s aging chill, she is soothed.

Fingers of the Sun
Reaching out to Gaia’s back
Blanket her shoulders.

When favored by sun

raindrops scattered through the trees

form candles of light…

Withered leaves are christened new

with lucent rainbows streaming
