Herd of running bulls,
Resonates off cobblestone:
Serenaded death....

serenaded the

Suzie sang seductively 
to Sammy the salesman. 

Sometimes she serenaded 
him on Sundays.

Susie ate her sugarless serving with a slow spoon
Soggy sobs serenaded 
her seven-year-old sister’s
shocked, sensitive ears
Saccharine sadness sampled simply too soon...

Numbness poisoned flowers
spooky nights serenaded
with chattered cowers,

wounded grasp cascaded 
panicked voices bloomed
mother's smile paraded

with gleams doomed,
yearning hopeless answers
as death roamed.

snow for days
is hypnotic serenaded by the wind
transforming 
from high white out to gentle falling
and back again
trees bending with weight
and the gentle flakes falling
falling
falling
lulls the quiet mind to stillness
no thoughts...

A poet
Serenaded his love
By waterfall
An view
At the end
Of a mountain valley
Full of
Wattle blossom blooms
For he knew
That magic week 
In spring
When the wattle blossom
Bloomed again
Filling a mountain valley
With perfume
And a poets heart
With love...

The sky turned dark
The poet built a fire
& warmed his hands
Worms crawled thru
His skin& angels
Cried & moments
Slipped pass like
Lavendar melting
The Santa Fe Chief
& coyote serenaded
The wanderer

Remembering

Your hot breath
Cascading like
Moonlight on
His back

I remember all the songs, the songs of love and broken hearts
The music that I adore, soft, gentle and a caring flow
Thoughts from present and past
The wonderful melody of long lost loves
The caring words and admissions of love
I to this day love, to be serenaded by Barry Manilow...

Love came down at Christmas
and was laid in a humble manger.
Mary’s precious little boy was born
that night so full of danger.

“No room,” they said at the inn that night.-
No room, except in a manger…
Mary brought forth her Son, surrounded by the animals,
and was serenaded by the Holy Angels....

Lover #1

Like the birds and bees
the whisper of breeze on trees
scent of love abounds

Lover #2

The warm air kisses
sweet perfume drips from flowers
birds and bees enticed
dancing to a lovers scent
serenaded by the breeze.

so serene
so calm
a blue marble
drifting through blue skies
across the galaxy
serenaded by eternity

and yet under the clouds

Quintain of: sorrow, despair, agony, misery, lament scoring 
pain
Dolesome drum o'er jaded psyche taps a dark, palling 
refrain
Hamstrung harp bridled soul with dissonant chords 
enchain
Shrill flute a dreary, eerie melody wafts o'er drifting 
swain
Melancholy tenor of wailing violin doth all availing hope

Love and paradise
met in the red room
when starlight sang
the waltz of time

the night was set
a million years ago
when warmth and affection
were brightly born

"softly" said love
to the rim of pleasure
as they danced
serenaded by a trillion stars

"when we are old
let men say
love and paradise
came one night
and left us joy"...

Serenaded silence
Under blushing sun
Swinging hands holding
Flowering love
Fledgling fingers 
Jousting to arrhythmic beats
Summer soliloquies
Too shy to fluently speak
Sweet somethings
Whispered in ticklish ears
Swirling sentiments
Searching to endear
Grown-up glances
Alternating until one
Longing lips converging
Under blushing sun...

Leaving home for work one day
  serenaded by a tuneful jay

Walking down a garden lane
  once more came his sweet refrain

Glancing over my right shoulder
  my friend was following, ever bolder

His song emblazoned on my mind
  the blue jay crooned with voice so kind

That as I opened my workday door
  I regretted that he sang no more...

The other day,

   the trees blushed 

   red and orange

   beauty


The other day,

   the wind serenaded 

   lush

   over the boughs

   singing sweetly:


That life is a change,

   we greet her smile,

   and we see what we hear:

   learning, feeling,

   knowing, believing, 

   something:

   about the other day...

Echo of the Morning Sun($)
Behind the whispers golden,
Where rainbows  get their light,
The echo gave it's whispers
In the  constructed lies.
The voice behind the veil
Spoke mysteries of light.
Like mystery of the female
Soon all the lies collapsed.
Confused by my illusion,
I heard the echo cry,
Like gentle voice of angels
Serenaded me till  the night.....

A songbird serenaded trilling so sweet.
It resonated thru my soul.
I pulsed to the beat.
Sitting by the pond a frog greeted me.
I croaked back at him serendipitously.
I came across a dog whose tail was wagging.
I bent over to greet him, my body gently sagging.
I discovered a snake concealed in the mist.
I stood quietly in place and let him hiss, hiss, hiss.....

merman had no chance to swim away
a bunch of sirens serenaded him that day
they fought over him and the little sister won
she was a dazzling mermaid who knew how to have fun

merman never tried to get away again
he held her yarn, as she crocheted with a grin
cleaned house, washed dishes, vacuumed and made her tea
he was the most perfect merman in the China Sea...

Amusing said the Unicorn
whose offspring ran riot
amongst the golden corn fields
In toad stalls fiery hornets roamed


By the wanton pavilion
all hope was gone
a fire crackle sentence serenaded
the dearth of thought culpable

Bramble often permanent
prevaricated by the ha ha
in the vista of no return
casting our thoughts to yesterday

No garish handle,
            Nor bell of ornate whimsy,
          Protrude this seamless portal.
       Dreams warmed in fate’s embrace,
           Infuse a passioned labyrinth
 
                The heart of my love,
              Opened only from within.
               A fathomless mystery;  
    Serenaded softly, from whispered soul
                    just now - ajar....

A Kiss In The Dark

You light up in the darkness
With the Heaven woven stars
In velvet tones of stillness
I calmly watch; night is ours.

Chill wind swirled rhythmic chanting,
Cocoon those well-chosen words,
Pleasing closeness, enchanting
A taste of natural bloom.

Closed eyes met a world of dreams
amorous scene into dance
A kiss in the limpid dark.
Warm silence serenaded.

At night our souls are free to roam
Rendezvous sans inhibition
Without confines fly miles from home
On divine clandestine mission

Do whatever souls delight in
Dance under galactic starlight
Serenaded by angel kin
Adieu we’ll meet again tonight

Segregated by your callous posture
Serenaded by your soft, sensual voice
Seduced by your feminine mystique 
Subdued by the fragrant aroma of your silky skin 
Sheltered by your caressing stare
Shackled to your warm embrace
Surrendering to your beckoning bosom
Repulsed by your recoiling movements
Enraptured with each panting breath
Impounded by your entreating distress
Freed to enter your throbbing estate...
