Embrace the moment, for life's a carnival, it seems....

This tight-furled sail I don't deploy.
Lo! how often I forget--oblivious to joy....

Soul's ode is forged, behold!
As tides approach, a tale's told
Adrift every spirit's mold....

She had been away,
Had walked through midnight's pathway,
She stands not alone,
No longer on a lone flight,
A home they have found with her.

Route 66ish No 11

A young girl from near Sacramento,
Was chewing a tasty pimento,
She then bit her tongue
And although very young,
Cried out "Shucks! NOW I've got a memento!"...

Reflections on black water lay
below dark rounded sky
until
The day reveals a color gray
as night begins to cry
so still

big boy now

tied up with ribbon
locked in box of treasures
with my sentimental tears

we are mere travelers
through this plane
who we are
what we posses
are sands
through the hour glass
memento mori
we are already gone
to God
who waits at the end of time
carpe diem
live it 
love it...

--------------------------Superego: Memento mori.
--------------------------Id: I will remind him of it.


I had an eerie dream:
I saw a skull in sleep.
It lay on a tomb brink.
“Mine”, I gave a sigh deep....

Stale, summer
Heat. 

Boiling in this
Skin bath
Are you and I. 

An obsession, 
Now a memento
Of dark complexion, 
Stiffened surprises. 

I burrow into the 
Pill case now
With no more than 
An ant farm
In my pocket....

Like a winter bloom 
lit by the soft morning sun,
my soul is so thrilled. 
Your arrival, Jesus, is ---
my December memento.

Tinkering over the pebbles
flowing freely onwards
smoothly
leaving in its wake soft ripples
as it travels homewards
blithely.

Reflections of life gently flows
Time removes rough edges
A sigh;
There is continuance from throes
Water goes from ledges
To fly.

winter's hues changed tree's leaves shed
gift to my husband
and I on Christmas we wed

One day, someday, man will awake.
He will find the time of his mistake.
He will turn and cry at his defeat.
On how he’s made this world so bleak.
Yes, he will cry & try to make amends.
Yet what’s done is done & tis the end....

I wish to walk down ancient street
If I do I'll get wet
Unless
Him on watery street I meet
and to him who paid Debt
Confess

From the depths I cry with passion,
Springs of water gush forth
Unleashed;
I run over stones sans caution
Trails subtly across earth
A feast!

By tranquil waters i do dream.
   Sweet memories for me
   Each day.

   To live my life beside this stream,
   True happiness would be
   To stay.
