My magnum opus be:
That I loved whole heartedly
And extraordinarily!
May those who knew me,
Know I loved thee best....

Write
It tight,
Check it twice.
Fix the grammar;
Punctuation’s nice.
If it’s worth the telling,
Then proudly show the readers
By carefully checking spelling.
If allowed to decline or succumb,
Your magnum opus it will not become....

Oh Mephistopheles*, happier today you must be than any other time

Many people are willing their souls to sell you, just for a single dime!

If you sit a monkey in front of a computer
There is a chance, no matter how far flung
That if it presses buttons at random
It will type a magnum opus
Well, I took a dictionary today
And guess what
The words were always there
I just picked and rearranged them...

Our search ends when bliss throbs renew
Bubbling upon our skin
Each breath births soma nectar dew
Silent thunder within

Along the love locus
God connect our focus
Soul’s light - magnum opus

Soul ascends
Our search ends

Catching moonbeams, night is the time for music.
Marvel not how beautiful echoes calm us -
sounds of midnight, Beethoven’s magnum opus,
         Moonlight Sonata.

Playing keyboard, classical music soothes me.
Subtle  movements, intricate, triple rhythm,
hypnotizing melody - nuts and bolts that
          fascinate dreamers.

A great beauty has come fourth,
Like an artists' dreams, a wonderful masterpiece
The canvas is her smile,
The painting is her heart.

She should be treasured by all
A piece of art to be displayed in a museum,
for the world to see.

But, this artist is selfish,
here she will remain
The magnum opus,
Of this artists' private collection
Forever to be treasured....

Pensive artist looking at blank canvas,
pristine white, beseeching a miracle,
feels deep within, image magnum opus,
whilst left brain offers but an opuscule,
shifts into trance, fearing not ridicule.
Pristine presence, in playful innocence,
in resonance with hearts blissful cadence,
leaps into the current, here resident,
essence garnered by inner sentience,
bringing to life, souls impulse radiant.

 winter wears a white coat
ice magnum opus wide range
let yourself defrost 
7/7/5 

looming snow-capped peaks
frozen water treks slowly 
sky has a somber color
5/7/7

frost flakes piling on the grass
sparkling like diamonds
dawn beckons with a bright smile
7/5/7

Noonday dreamer weaves a blue ray visual
Sight and sound young orb amid the lunar tides
Silver trophy field of play renaissance type 
mesmerising global village new wave hordes 
magnum opus prodigy a limelight sponge
boy wonder figment, high-flyer on cloud nine
classroom bell transport me back to earth

-Nights wake-


The night is dead. Longs for absurdity, what’s left is a heart of fire.

The abomination of the fallen. Serotonin left astray. Beg for the long-lost magnum opus. Tear apart Librium. Sheer lust of the requisite. Where are we now? 

Deprave the senses. Blind from touch, brail inherently deemed moot.

My eyes close and I see the void. I open them to see the lie. 

Tears stream down my face like rivers surface in the Sahara....

Beneath the forelocks shady shroud
 and chestnut lashes low,
A gaze to halt the human heart
This creature can bestow.
Apple breathed indifference and 
Wistful, fearful grace
Can catapult the senses beyond
This earthly place.
Mankind made him subservient
And service he knows well,
Historically, such willingness has
Grazed the gates of hell.
Natures' magnum opus, 
Of evolutions course.
Majestic in his countenance,
Noble, hypnotic Horse....

You hedonise yet killed your gamble
Coveting, lusting, groping for words.
You penetrate her deepest thoughts
Imprison her, criminal humanoid.

You steal her breath in the strokes of your pen
Your delirious limerick strangling her.
But your words in aching beauty
Gratify the body of your poetry.

Now you reached the climax in your robust stanza
The provocative lines steaming desire.
You hit upon another magnum opus
A mortal sin told in the poem of Oedipus....

"Somewhere over the rainbow we'll play", is baby Ella's clarion call,
 Doting Aunt agrees and starts with La Ti Do Re Mi Fa Sol,
 Tiny fingers move, full of questions,  curiosity, in her wonderland small ,
 Busy get  the twosome,  a session filled with love and music all, 
 Magnum opus of the duette is soon due to enthrall.
