pearl clouds perspire rain
crystalline charade veil fades 
lost in river's run

The fable man palms do perspire,
Knees inadequate,
Limbs do joxtapose in overabundance.
Purge grazes over the fable man's vestments.
Mother's Italian vermicelli....

A young lady named Peaches Love-Handles
Made love to a hot burning candle---
   She ignited a fire
   Began to perspire---
What she did after that caused a scandal...

My mask doth not inspire
  It maketh me perspire

Restricts my respiration
  Foileth my aspirations  

Causeth naught but aggravation
  Leadeth me to consternation...

To make a million
Was his desire.
In pursuing his plan
He did much perspire.

His sight is now set
On million number two.
To the first one he sadly
Had to say adieu....

Starter of World War Two, Adolf Hitler
His compassion for Jews could not have been littler.
During his Nazi speeches, he'd shout and perspire.
He likely did not realize he was a hideous liar....

I desire
And perspire
Love in a heart

I don’t
Can’t and won’t
Wholeheartedly fall apart

She sees me
Believe me
Our relationship will start

I love her
Our love’s pure
Together in our heart

Stars skim the Milky Way
Perspire molten dew
Engulf the soundless wonderment
and blow it into view
Down below the aquifer
of clouds and palpitations
we watch burnt skies ignite and fly
beyond imaginations......

God All of Us Does Inspire

One of God's goals is us to try and inspire;
And build fabulous world for us in its entire;
Help things grow,
And water flow;
Constructed calmly and never did perspire.

Sweetness,
Was I joking?
Doubtful,
I despise each lie,
That escapes your subtle lips,
Don you,
With thorns and roses,
Bittersweet dear,
I am torn apart,
Between two dreams,
Wishes,
None that shall perspire....

an object of desire
flies by like a comet
so close and yet so far

it is but the playfulness 
of cosmic consciousness 
inviting us to tango dance

do we perspire
or do we conspire

it’s up to us

I have this desire
To believe it is not me
These people only conspire
Against who I am to be 
Thinking, fretting, as I perspire
Dwelling in agony
Please just let me expire
So I can find the audacity 
For my own SHIRE.........

hot June eventide...


          sweltering clouds perspire - drip...


                    rain to sate the earth

dark desire 
heart afire
we aspire
then perspire 
fear fire 
outcome dire

spake the wise
cease to size
ego dies
then we rise
heart’s surprise

Silver string tugs
By the moons inscription
Writing:
“Open to heart’s desire
Left upon the kind
Leaving one to perspire
Towards the unyielding mind”
The moon sends its grace
To the passerby
Filling all with hope
Of a silver thread design

I aspire to be greater than the sire,
Though higher knowledge I must acquire,
My desire burns in me than furnace fire ,
Which makes me perspire like a town crier ,
I admire the traits of men in the flier ,
Which makes my entire life look like satire .

The elegance of your proclamation,
Enchanting divinity of your tone.
Quaking and naïve, hidden by laughter.
My embrace belies my apprehension.

The distilled belief that you perspire
Is a pheromone that intimidates.
Gestures of your assertive intent
Arouses a medley of emotions....

Inside is what destiny reveals,
depression scarring what never heals.
Over this ragged course of life,
through the hills of pain and strife.
Round the way darkness becomes the door,
a peep into realities sweet lore.
Focusing on dreams that perspire,
is all that remains of desire....

The bird chirping
My foot hurting
I heard a noise
Wish I had poise 

Frustrations chronic
Will need some tonic
The internet goes haywire
Nervous led to perspire 

Wishing for peace
Sending a gift to my niece
Praying for calm
Envisioning a palm 

Wisdom so elusive
No excuses...

Stop Look Listen!

This Emergency is Dire

I've Perched myself on a Telephone Wire

Crowds have gathered below 

I'm starting to Perspire

I do not want Money or to Be known as Sire

All I Ask to soothe my Psyche

Is a simple pair of sneakers with a swoosh 

And the letters spelled N-I-K-E...

A kiss to set my heart on fire
Who's lips that I always desire
With warmth that makes me perspire 
Passionate look I do admire 
A touch that brings me to be higher
Whose love lives beyond the dire
Freedom of truth that beholds the liar
A look of beauty that will never tire
Who's lips do I always desire
A kiss from you sets my heart on fire...

Will we feel our love when we are dead?
The moon and rocks off to the sky
What are these if not had been lead?

Will our joy and tears perspire forever?
But soon the clock nods to a sigh
Are our children our only endeavor?

The ale is drunk, our fears trunked
As we stalk to noon, But why?
Alas debunk, our fears confront
Soft comes a lullaby...

In the end of everything I watch the fire
eat the bricks cement blocks perspire 
not noticing the temperature has gotten higher
while endlessly escaping the mobs desire
the gothic spire dissappears into the clouds chest
hanging dead in the sky with no shroud fixed
in a world of giants you're small as a mouse is
one needle nuzzled in a garden of thousands...
