Russia has just shattered our space
So we must find another place
Where we can orbit
Sucking our sorbet
As we think up how to save face...

Ice cream
What’s your flavor?
Neapolitan mine
Summertime just right for ice cream
Sorbet

DRAGON FRUIT SORBET

Moonflower, Queen of the Night
This sweet dragon fruit
Cancer fighting, wonder fruit
Fleshy, thousand seeds
Pureed and frozen
Rich sorbet
Sweet!...

Her hush rolls like folding scrolls
Gentle breeze, whiffs of anise
Fire, cream puff desire
Soft sorbet, goosebump display
Draw back of kite, lull of light
Descending easel bending
Blackboard slate, forgiveness' weight

the sun's caress glitters off your sultry skin
while a balmy breeze caught in your hair gives way

deep in your eyes is where i want to drown
basking in the taste of summertime sorbet

I went to the market yesterday,
To buy some needed things;
Coffee and watermelon sorbet,
Pizza and buffalo wings;
Sugar, detergent, and shampoo,
And of course some chicken feed;
Couple of cans of Dinty Moore stew,
I hope that’s all I need!...

Weigh
today ...
Dare I say
ate huge buffet
followed by sorbet
Guess I got lead astray ....
(was dining with best friend Faye)
I’m anxious what the scales will say -
lost over a kilo - that’s okay!

We're on our way to Island Bay
To sun and swim, relax and play
Canoe and sail, perhaps to fish

We're on our way to Island Bay
Dine out in style: fine wine, sorbet
Explore new trails, vacation's wish

We're on our way to Island Bay
To sun and swim, relax and play

Across the murdered meals,
cigarettes stabbed here and there
into sorbet,
bits of chocolate flake cake,
he will start to relate their story,
but she will-
	t-t-t-
and tell it over the uncleared plates,
coffee spills,
to others shiny eyes
and the eager nods of her friends-
Until he didn’t know her
or how they had begun....

Pale daughters beam in the miers
their freckles shine galore
eating sorbet all day

They skip to school
trampling on the dandelions
They are the daughters of pan
musically adroit yet quite forlorn

Their mother tongue is telling half truths
to their peers 
half awake they want to wrest your pulse
They cannot be considered inconsequential...

Like a raspberry sorbet
tranquility is dripping
onto my little valley.
In twilight’s cooling flavor
birds twitter and leaves whisper.
I savor the pleasantness
of nightfall's sweet dessert.

I remember July
When your heart sweltered with passion
When love was a style...an unequaled fashion

I remember July
When you brewed with envy over your chocolate sorbet'
How you could hardly wait to get caught up in the rapture
of the day

Yes, i remember July
When I was the essence of your high
Taking you to heights unknown

But you've come down
You've outgrown
And now love is like bitter December...

Lemonade soaked sunshine
Peach sweet heat
Watermelon waves taste
Of graham cracker sand
And nestled pomegranate pebbles
On strawberry beaches

In pineapple green grass
Mango daisies dance
Marshmallow clouds dot
Blueberry-smiled skies

Tangerine sorbet sunset
Kisses plum freckled stars
Sprinkled through blackberry night
Under the cooling cantaloupe moon

Until blushing raspberry currents
Awake the honeydew dawn.

The day that I first saw you smile, as I stooped to fix a lace
A small stone’s throw across the street but then there was no trace
I ran the corner that you turned but I had lost the race
I may now never have the chance to acquaint your lovely face

I walk the spot of that one glimpse, every single day
In the vain hope our eyes will meet and my feelings to convey
Many females, I have met, they are all now shades of grey 
Unlike you my rainbow sweet, my dream, my sweet sorbet...
