you walked out of my dreams
into my life that day

and filled my life with love
that date I met true love...

How do I know the pen is she
in just the words on screen.
Her little twists of language
her voice then smiles between
the lines of prose and poetry;
I know it's her I've seen....

Strength a labor of time,
A work which breaks bones,
An effort which I have made mine,

While I work once again,
This time I work with friends,
With this I can go through the pain....

The story of my life is wild;
New interests suddenly sprout 
outdated habits get tossed out;
Focus sharpens as the years pass
 led by an internal compass; 
Connected to that inner child,...

Beauty of Paris rising high
Such massive latticework is seen
At night a golden color's view
Three levels given public's try
Restaurants on levels are keen
This tower's sight could be for you...

In delightful, peltdown sprinkle
Amid crashing, sky blue delight
Waiting now on a sun twinkle 
Ready for the shine to ignite 
While vowel chimes- my brain jingle...

Winter's chill brings frost and snow,
The icy winds that fiercely blow,
The silent night, a starlit sky,
The gentle flakes that softly fly,
The snowman stands, a jolly sight,
Lit by the moon so fresh and white....

Being and becoming are creations
Of indispensable creative imaginations
No being is, yet as it is perceived
Needing to be seen to be retrieved
Infinite as nothing, fixed as numbers
Eternal insofar as one remembers...

Oh, thou art of the greatest mystery,
an enigma of time and place and space
flitting with ethereal quality.
Mind not paling stars that surround this place.
They languish in comparison to thee,
whose soul reflects from thy radiant face....

Amid the scented purple fields I see
My soul; in circles of a love divine
Reborn in sacred sips of blood red wine
Uniting the soul above and below
These lavender fields bring a mystery
Innocent again beneath lunar glow.

Will you soon speak to me of thy love, Joan
Tell me that you want me as I want you
Can I endure a callous bile adieu
from thy lips most cerise, soft, tender, sweet,
from those which solely I have ever known.
Let’s share, inamorata, time is fleet....

Whispering reeds sway in the breeze
As water flow to meet the boat
On top of which lies golden hair
Exiled for which of unknown deeds
Gently rocking away she floats
As yellow flecks light up the air

The voice speaks from deep within
A picture, words, a message sends
Sometimes a landscape triggers thoughts
Overflowing words tumble out
Thoughts that only God sends, no doubt
Words freely tumble, God has wrought

Do you not know I’ve always loved you?
That I have a good life for you in mind.
Come be with me, dear Joan, throughout your time
Your needs will be small, thy wants ever few,
To you lass I will never be unkind.
As my good wife our stay together prime....

Belshazzar had a feast
before seeing the writing on the wall,
Quickly,falling,from the greatest to the least,
for dead-men,don't walk tall-
When lives are on God's scale
Only the just* ,live to tell the tale.

A sleepy day upon the couch:
while little Vivi takes a nap,
I, too, will catch a little rest.
I hope she doesn’t wake a grouch,
or with a diaper that is slap
full of a word you may have guessed.

Spring stimulates songbirds to sing,
sing sweet songs to celebrate spring.
Flowers soak up April showers, 
showers resurrect dead flowers.
Bees pollinate blossoming trees,
trees provide nectar for the bees.

In childhood innocence learning to walk,
A journey begins on open pathway,
And the minds seeks the beauty in a day,
Embracing joy and facing problems strife,
Open the ears now to hear nature talk,
The guiding hand on this journey of life.

Scene is set my eyes tightly shut
Hand  outstretched wanting yours to hold.
Candles sit, waiting for the flame
which ignites from within our lust.
Where are you my lover be bold
Come closer calling out my name

Behind closed doors our secret dared to be,
A love beyond what words express,
All senses lost in one caress,
As dreams fulfilled those things until we kissed,
In that one touch our longings set us free,
A secret magic found where love exists.

A morning looking in a coffee cup,
My soul is asking questions of the heart,
As destiny reveals itself in art,
Should inquiry find truth in crumpled dreams,
And bring the eye to look so gently up,
The heart must be ready to flow soul streams.

The beauty of woman shone in her eyes,
And sweet scented lavender called my name,
As silent kisses began another game.
My mind so lost where her beauty is found,
As whispers trailed into those plaintive sighs,
Revealing her breath is the only sound.
