and supple feel
been gone
so wrong
and now aside
you could say
I lied...

No cloud in the sky
Nare feather floating
Of birds so high

For your loss

Allured enchantments
The muted past of her remiss...

Oh, how remiss

From a kiss

"If found, Do not, ever Read This"

Why I left it out - so remiss
No chance to know, to reminisce....

Love’s remiss swells with arousal
Yearning that sweet yet delusive twist, 
That lies beyond the mist of love bent tragedy....

I remiss the time of long ago
Wondering which way to navigate
Nonchalant meandering on how to debate
To be or not to be
Is that the question?...

Limericks can be jovial as they're meant to be
But can also be passionate a la spirit esprit
My thoughts are this
I'd sure be remiss
Writing only silliness four times outta three...

The night is a den
  of mixed horrors

A trap
  where you sleep with the dead

Any light
  that’s remiss or left vacant

A pathway
  —to gravestones unread

as sure as the lightning flash
before the monsoon starts
as sure as the thunder crack
that follows that above
as sure as the tide flows in
after it has ebbed
as sure as the love you bestow
without question or remiss...

Open up
I say to thee
obey the voice
of destiny

partake you now 
of natures faire
come taste the fragrance
in the air

awaken
out of long remiss
lay aside thy chrysalis

open up
I beg of thee
open....
open sesame!...

Dedicated to Anita Rae-

There is nothing more than this,
Than the brightest, sweetest kiss.
Nothing more in this whole world,
Than the name of this fool girl.
And I should greatly be remiss, 
If I dismiss, my sweetest kiss....

You hold me with untiring hands
And your love for me catches me before I fall

You make sure that my cup runs over with goodness
And you share your love of bread with me everyday

I would be remiss, if I didn’t say
“I Love You”...

Like a jaded rogue I would be remiss
Lest I laud autumn's approaching bliss
Her blithe effervescence
Her brooding essence
Her eternally young autumnal kiss

Open up
I say to thee
obey the voice
of destiny

awaken now*
to summers fare*
and taste the fragrance
in the air

lay aside thy chrysalis

open...
open sesame!

what message
be sealed 
with
broad kiss
that 
sing
to 
thy 
joyful soul
i
shall not remiss
both
our spirits intertwined
because
this 
love is thine
with
a sacred kiss
from
your sweet lips
this love is good
this love is true
this love is thine...

Tell me this
Where to find
A better bliss

Does it sound 
Somewhat remiss
The stars we kiss
The love we miss

If we sincerely
Ponder this
Shall I make a list
Shall I take the risk

So, I offer this
Then, tell me how or
Where to find
A better bliss...

Stuck on the broken landing
Of a stairway to nowhere
My mood no longer elevated
My spirit remiss of song

Looking over the railing
Into a history that I buried
A ladder appears above me
But when I step—its rungs are gone

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)...

Once I
saw my

shadow
follow

something
unseen

oh my!
cried I

come back
on track

but then
chagrin

it showed
side road

Sorry
Charlie!

saw sign
free wine!

old vine
sublime

made stop
no thought

you’d miss
remiss

amiss
kiss kiss...
