poets agree
that stars shimmer
to light mystery
is our glow its glimmer?

If it wasn't for youse, life would lose it's lustre
I'd need to gather moonbeams, all I could muster
In a make believe world
I'd dance and swirl
When everything becomes smooth as butter...

I never told her her smile
lasted awhile
her touch as soft
as shadow felt
her eyes
that brought shame to the skies
if only these humble fingers
could rip the seconds back
and i could change all i lack...

Eyes of sapphire rouse my spirit.
Lull me senseless, love me blind.
Hands clasped, lips intertwined
in a passion fuelled clash 
of love and lustre.
Smile sirene concealed within
as in my arms ... 
Beauty sleeps....

If all men should come together
To overcome the dark,
Sweet realization will it be
And man's Life will be stark.

All ye that have breath-do listen
And do as thy hearts say.
The rainbow of mirth shall come 
forth
And make lustre, thy way...

My Lack Lustre Valentine

There was a man who asked me to be his valentine
My heart went all of a flutter
I wondered if he would be mine
I said of course your valentine, I would love to be
I’ve never heard from him again, does that only happen to me?...

The dull thud in my head, it tells me that I’m dying
And that look in your eyes, it tells me that you’re lying.
Oh, but your eyes are hazel and green,
With a lustre that rivals the holly leaves.
And those eyes, they too are of evergreen,
But mine are the grass and soon lose their sheen....

embrace the darkness

for it knows the light

squeeze and hug the clasp

untangle threads of false caress

hold on to the journey

take a seat on the ride

then pull the clutch

release and cuddle up

kiss away lost connection

align shadows and lustre

the luminous ovoid of Self replicates
the omnipresent lustre of God’s light
made in His image this is our essence
eternal and renewing itself within itself

with this recognition viewed directly
back here within the mind-body cage
as both transcendent and immanent 
we share this truth with those who pair...

A time of indifference 

A subdued welcome,
so visits seldom,
as we so mirror
ebbing love’s tremor.

Sans joy’s zest and zeal,
embrace lacks appeal,
like dying ember,
insipid timbre.

Playfulness childlike,
wherein bliss beats spike,
distant memory;
lustre, history.

Will you still love me
When I’m old and grey?
Or will you let me be
When my youth fades away?

Will you see past the wrinkled eyes
And the unwanted flab and fat?
In a blink time flies;
Will you forget me like that?

The lustre in my hair has gone,
My hands are steady no more.
Will you look past the wrong
And stay forevermore?...

The day was killed 
diving in the books.
A lamb was dyed to
please the race.

You gambled for water
huddled in eyes.
I wanted to scatter the pearls
on cheeks.

Drenched in gasoline you
tried to send the message.
A flame was ready to
light the dark.

Margarine had the lustre
but was not a gold.
A red hot iron will
tell you the same.

Love Loses Lustre,
As Age Agrees Acrimoniously;
Life Later Larks Liveryless:
Greying, Goaded,Garbagelike.Gee! God's Gracious Graveyard.

Listen to poem:

Constant denigration
wears you down
you feel so small
as your efforts are
downgraded with cast-off scoffs.
Your pearls bedraggled,
lack lustre,
displayed dimmed and dulled,
squelched by doubt,
smeared in fear.
Duet performance discordant 
sung in disharmony
with lead player out of tune,
tone-deaf.
Belittled, you be,
and bedraggled becomes you....

Speak of it not,
think of it not,
lest regrets may 
cloud the failing light,
and weariness
a shroud becomes.
This little thing,
once proud in love and lust,
now hides its face
and soon it will be dust.
Gone is the lustre
and delight
of fond imaginings,
as shadows deepening 
enfold what once
seemed ever bright,
impervious to
encroaching night....

O month
you owned the charm
that gave me peace
if you're far from my heart
please forgive me

You quite knew
my ark is unable to sail
to see your presence
before the permission
I see from your lustre

In your darkness
your room glows
when a castle is dark
let my love shine brightly
and let’s spin a yarn
together.

Easter's a surprise;
an explosion of life
That ripe roaring lustre
of fashion and rife

The whole tug tomato
of lavender light
And mole fevered digging
of Hanibal right

For children now zigging
and candy gnawed wiggling
That baskets of wicker
are rabbit bowed giving

And all for a circus
that children delight
When Easter is Peter
and candy his rite...

Hidden in the midst of lustre eyes,
Craving to be labelled and disentangled,
Such a noble deed and enterprise
Can only by a poet's hand, be mantled.

With a papyrus and a quill
In delight, he basks in poetry.
Such feeling that stirs the soul to squeal
As with shaky hand, babbles away in ecstasy.
