The lieutenant & his woman
An actress & her leading man,
A boy meets girl tale,
It happens every day-
In a play within a play....

An open book of mystery,
invites me in alluringly.
Time to turn the page.
Following as the plot thickens,
this is where my heartbeat quickens.
Murder sets the stage.

No vertigo bout,
our life force sucked out;
we began to fall,
with no fear at all.

Maybe ‘twas a test,
by God, in mere jest;
that the die is cast,
each breath is our last.

As the plot thickens,
love’s bliss beats quicken,
there’s nothing to fear,
when God is so near.

Our pulse quickens in quietude
Stillness ushers rapture 
Childlike wonderment attitude
That mind cannot capture 

Invite joy, let bliss burn 
Time’s now, to fear upturn
Erasing thought forms stern

The plot thickens 
Our pulse quickens

Scrooge encountered the ghost of Jake Marley,

    While slurping his bowl of blah barley.

       From thence, as we know the plot thickens,

         As from past sins Scrooge fled like the 'dickens'!

Why did He knit so many twits?
(Weak of Mind and lacking wits)
No Thoughts of their own-
Like Sheep and their Clones:
Well, what's the point of it?
Does He live His life through His Creations,
Feeling every single sensation?
He's in every Atom we can fathom-
(One never knows what will happen)
And that's the Truth of it!...

Space flickers revealing what lies behind
Soft white light luminous
In parallel, we’re gripped in bliss throbs bind
Soma flow continuous
Magic of grace fortuitous 

The plot thickens as our third eye glistens
Crown and heart join the dance
Pulse of magnetic love beats quickens
Mingled with sublime fragrance 
With God, remains no distance

in the cemetery
one of love 
dying many times
etched deep
circle of life
each time
shines golden

silent voices
without words
as the plot thickens
whispering inside
treasured feelings
emotions rise
sparkling lights
in a distance

close your eyes
i am dreaming
is any of it real
do dreams ever
come true
the door creeks
chambers begin opening
slowly handing
the keys over
awakening 
to you
a dream

A promise is the greatest lie ever told 
Deconstructed fibs have fooled so many 
Nobody cares for the truth when a lie is more interesting
Breaking down our judgement with each lie we consume 
Who can be trusted with the truth?
Despair arises after the promise is not for filled 
We have been poisoned my friend 
Sweet talk me with the truth,
for a promise is nothing more than a great lie 
The plot thickens..........

Bound by chains of gold,
soul growth’s put on hold.
Earth life plot thickens 
as lust thrust quickens.

Prisoner of fear,
heart’s desires hold dear,
we thus trauma bond;
with ego abscond.

In dream world’s movie,
what will be will be,
yet as goalposts shift,
we find soul’s adrift.

Head and heart when linked,
with hues of love inked,
we become the light,
shining within bright.

Two relaxing on a couch


Wind in sails, we take our couch for a ride
On a magic carpet of love, wide eyed,
Turning the channels to our grove and guide.

Snuggled together like two graying doves,
Nestling a good movie that shakes and moves.
We hymn as the plot thickens, like our love.

We pause for popcorn and bottle of wine,
Letting the seed to well so bubbly, fine.
Back to the movie, we're all smiles, and shine.

   Streaming into Shabbos,* the pace quickens
     as if reading a novel where the plot thickens

   Only an hour left, 
     so much to do and to shlepp**  

   How will it all get done 
     ~ Let the adrenaline run ... 

   Down goes the sun
     All tasks completed one by one

Fresh new book opens wide and swallows me whole!
As plot thickens, my heart pounds, I catch my breath
Focusing on characters as scenes unfold
Instilling memories of their length and breadth ...
Completing one book a month a fine, firm goal
Consider subjects even outside your depth
Reading encourages to take life in stride—
Back to my book! See you on the other side!

It is the most painful
It is the most attentive
It is the most read
It is the most hilarious

The suspense and the pretence
The liars that were told
The humiliation that occurred
The sickness of gossip

It is the random of tears
It is the scarceness of happiness
It is the frequency of intimidation
It is the acknowledgement of victimization

The inner strength that was born
The endurance that was there
The change that was emphased
The plot thickens...

The plot thickens in a whodunit thriller
 As I try to figure out who's the killer
 Which character will be on the hook
 As I turn the pages of my book

 Each page turned unravels the mystery
 Some of the suspects are getting jittery
 Was it the butler of whom they were afraid
 Or was it the beautiful buxom maid
 I'm on the last chapter, but it's still not clear
 But I'm in the moment, it's as if I'm there!

It has been a revolution of revelations
Full of whispers
It has been a analysis of analytical
Full of wonders
Wait a minute, wait a minute
The plot thickens
Who could that be

As the sun moves up
In the sky
The universe has opened
Its chambers
As the moon lights up
The darkness
Everybody would know

It has been a moulding of a mystery
Full of amusements
It has been a phrase of perfection
Full of grooming
Wait a second, wait a second
The story just began
Its the name...
