Butterfly,
She was so dainty yet bright.
Butterfly
At home among the lilacs,
She had a light, graceful, glide.
Going from one bud or leaf.

Let love in
Open your mind
Let love in
Open your heart then let love begin
Close yourself but be clear
Close yourself to hate and fear
Let love in
Come back to me
I can’t believe you’ve really gone
Come back to me
I dream of holding you again
My guiding light you always shone
My love for you goes on and on
Come back to me
A falling star,
that brightly lights the ev'ning sky.
A falling star,
a magic show without a par,
a visitor from way on high,
has brought a tear drop to my eye.
A falling star.
subtle satin
nature’s aid to man’s creation,
subtle satin
sleepless nights of lavender spin
yet embracing mediation
our love of procreation,
subtle satin.

This small closet
stored a bomber jacket a bum
stole without guilt...
it smelled so fresh and felt so soft!
In Fall, it kept me very warm
and very dry in any storm...
I looked my best!
Why,why so sad!
Where is that smile and ready grin
Why,why so sad!
Rejoice,rejoice and now be glad
Let your heart take this promise in
Once for all,His death,cancelled sin!
Why,why so sad!
As night descends
God's paintbrush colours the night sky.
As night descends
purple, pink and violet blends.
An artist's mural floating by.
Beauty to bring tears to the eye,
as night descends.
a mystery
won’t snap or break and can’t be cut
a mystery
and will go down in history
although they say the case is shut
the rumours started by a nut
a mystery
Jack Horne for Nette’s Weave a Rondelet
You’re still not here
after all the years I had stand
You’re still not here,
this loneliness that I do fear.
My footsteps faded on the white sand
whilst the shore wash me away and
you’re still not here.
When I was lost,
God’s angels showed me the way home.
When I was lost,
My soul searching all paths that crossed.
No answers in the ancient tome.
All paths had led my life to roam,
When I was lost.
Master's degree
Opens doors when bachelors forget
Master's degree
Studying long for pedigree,
preparing theses, both cause sweat.
Don't give up. You go girl and get
Master's degree

Seek out delight
Especially when things go wrong
Seek out delight
Negative vibes will take to flight
Allow sadness to run along
Embracing joy will make you strong
Seek out delight

If you just smile,
all the devils will fade away
If you just smile.
The frowns will walk a thousand mile,
tears won’t drop till days after days,
and your happiness will obey,
if you just smile.
Rondelet : Who Takes Over ?
Who takes over
God is about to retire
Who takes over
Sea Anne-Anne boils for Foot-Lover
Next in line to replace Sire
He who set Club-Foot afire
Who takes over

My sweet kitty
Sits on my lap when I'm writing.
My sweet kitty
And I reside in the city.
He hates the gunfire and fighting,
I fondly pet him, delighting
My sweet kitty.

abaabba A4-8 syllables rest
Satin gown glow
Brides face shows Love; betrayal now
Satin gown glow
Sheen and luxury colors show
Exit graceful stage left I bow
In satin gown I can't frown, wow!
Satin gown glow!!
Walk with me , please.
So many things I must tell you.
Walk with me , please,
under stars, before this night flees.
Stories I'll tell, while the moon's new.
Strolling through the grasses wet dew,
walk with me, please.
So long it has been
Since you have kissed my lips
So long it has been
I long and miss your caress; it has been a while
Since you have even held me by my hips
I long for the taste of your mouth when we kiss
So long it has been
Fabric contained
The old remnants of World War 11
Blood soaked the fields
As responders pushed to get through
Lifting bodies dead or alive
Rejoicing for those who survive
Fabrics of Flesh

valse,valet a,highland fling
viola,fiddle,music string;
minuet,pavane rondeau
tripping lightly to & fro.
flirty dancing,fancy free
quick-step and ladies excuse-me;
fox trot and last waltz slow,
holding close,as passions grow.
Pick up the phone
You will not know until you call
Pick up the phone
She may not want to be alone
Dismiss any reasons to stall
Your smooth talking voice says it all
Pick up the phone

Dr. Ram Mehta's Rondelet contest
Buried treasure
deep in the abyss of turquoise
Buried treasure
like a queen in captivity,
of vanished glory, a drowned voice,
fables of when she did rejoice,
Buried treasure

Melting butter
Luxuriously pampering
To my palate
Gentle stream with quiet ripples
Cool placid lake at summer’s end
Soft butterfly kisses on skin
Crepe de chine
