Love Me

Love me wholly,
Love me soulfully,
Love me through and through.
Once I can do,
This for myself,
Life begins anew.

spiritual luna moth
delicately free
leaving your body behind

nothing can confine you now
heading toward 
everywhere

soulfully happy
unencumbered in every way
death a happy release...

living my life my own way
will jumpstart me every day
reassuring me somehow
soulfully I complete now

Sit softly, soulfully, beside me on this striped swing .

     Smelling my summer scented hair.

     Speak, you, sweet sonnets of Shakespeare.

     Set our souls, starship shimmering!"

"music moves"

music softly plays
do we feel

music soulfully sounds
do we hear

music moves
do we embrace

shadowing all music reaches
lifting our hearts and souls

feel and embrace this beat
passionately quietly forevermore

Carry the cross, own up mistake
Pay for it cheerfully
It’s better to give than to take
Living thus soulfully

Why have hesitation 
All here God’s creation
Upon earth play station 

Accept the loss
Carry the cross

Beauty and longing
Joyful belonging

Where hides one's desire
To reach ever higher

Soulfully soaring
Released of all mourning

Spirits rejoicing
Eternity's fire

Loving and laughing
Freed at last grasping

Truth beyond fear
Forevermore basking
In Love's Golden Garden...

Nothing is permanent
No praises, no kisses, no bitter words
Destined long ago, as yesterday…
Gone for good… 
Done with time.

Another night will remind this
To mourn soulfully….
A mad life under a full moon.

For a poet, where there is… 
a poetess too. Perhaps.
Do you remember?

Entropy....

Music To My  Soul

Six strings and the joy it brings
Emotive movements  hidden things 
Strumming picking chords suspended
Melody soulfully skilfully rendered

Feel the pulse turn up the heat
Heart racing in time with the beat
Sharing expounding this my goal
This kind of picture music to my soul...

Ignited within sound
A caressing hymn
Gingerly whispered
Delicately tasted

Fluid in movement
A perfect imprint
Intricately dancing
Sweetly forming

Burning in passion
A melodious familiar
Innocently calling
Cleverly convincing 

Flooding in truth
An overpowering realization
Comfortably revealing
Soulfully consuming...

She dances she glances
Beyond her shoulder 
She peers
Looking back 
Her beautiful smile
She poses in the mirror 
[ 1st verse by Rick Parise ]


Soul steps out aside
Extoling her charm
As eyes
Stare abrupt
Smoky dancing queen
Disappears with a gentle touch...

It doesn’t matter
may it be politics
preference of love
art requires honesty

free expression

without it
there is no life --
the difference
between simply breathing
and soulfully relating

lies may get one wealth
academic honors
worldwide accolades
of other vanity sorts – 

but they will
never make you real!...

face down
again tonight
this time
of the sacred cathode
all white ways
when it glowed
free, electric

flat-line
when to destroy
is to
defy his last request
soulfully
all the best
or not at all

Godspeed
with hearts and stars
edgewise
hold high your smartest blade
whom thou lovest
thou betrayed
without question...

Soulmate outsourcing my soul...
Why our hearts are in afoul? 

Silence reign in this meadowsweet house...
Divorce sheets on the bed for the delouse... 

Unhouse our beloved belongings,
Unwed ourselves soulfully, 

Strangers in an unhouse split...
Loving you till souls apart... 

Vows are soulless promises,
Loving you till hearts depart......

Mystical moon dancer who summons owls
Spinning her wild imaginative cleverness
Flowing amongst the rhinestone stars
Summoning the holy wise ones
Delighting heaven’s gatekeepers
Emoting words of love
Showering humanity with dainty hope
Frolicking in a frothy ethereal light
Pirouetting soulfully amongst the sky keepers
Mystical moon dancer who summons owls...

A nut
is just a nut
till planted
in robust healthy soil

Soulfully watered
nurtured
among sympathetic neighbors
fed by solidarity
in co-invested toil

Not necessarily nuts,
yet from this same root
system of passionate EarthTribe
ruts

Anciently established trees
and seas
and sacred nests
of honey bees

Enlightening
and empowering
nut engaging mysteries....

Rushing wind pushes her down
She skins her knee alone
She looks to the crying sky
She silently soulfully moans

What does she look like?
What does she see?
What does the wind whisper in her shell like air?

Will someone rescue her from her fear?
Or will she be like wonder woman
And rescue herself
And the rest of the world?

God watches it all and blows out the candle
Shhh...

Words and deeds will meet for you
Thoughts and moves compete for you

I meditate you serenely and sincerely 
Sweetly sounds my heart beat for you

As your man soulfully I praise you
As I live on, I will have conceit for you

I have very many defects, I too know
Promise I, my flaws, I shall delete for you 

I dedicate me to true piety and purity
With that, my life gets complete for you...

“Born Again”



Libertango'd, wings numbered
daze dancing with an angel
legs wrapped around the dream

Fallen into falling
a kiss between the blades
satin skinned and sacrificial

cherry lips ripe for taking
soulfully saved halos slipping
seized as a gift in the giving

born again 
intuitive
living

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)

The squirrel,on the big branch
looked so soulfully at me.
His beautiful, dancing eyes so charming
as he if he were trying to say 
something.
A deep secret, too eloquent to be
put in a poem.
He turned gracefully, suddenly.
His secret?
I took it home, very stealthfully.


*Original version had error in last line. Thanks,
Gershon for alerting me. Apologies to all!*

INFLUENCE OF CHAGALL

Cradle garden faithfully, free her petals. 
 Pluck bouquet and playfully tend her, kiss her.
  Praise her beauty soulfully - stem and fragrance.
                                                  ~ Whirligig love her.

Couldn’t sleep just thinking of you
Feeling of helplessness endlessly
How I want to change it miraculously 
Please universe wrap him up close to you

Prayers I repeat soulfully
Tears I cry silently
Why must great people suffer so
My heart needs to be sewn

I crave to believe in the magic of universe
I whisper to my invincible guides and teachers
I need to know they care, they hear
My friend really needs their golden vibes...

There we are up in the tune
Lost in a reverie,reaching for
Our own trombone to blow,blow,blow!
Clicking fingertips together and
Waiting for the beat to drive us
Into the wonderment
Soulfully
I begin to sway and you catch me
Twirl me with all your breath
Loosen me then once again
Bring me close
As the cool deep notes waft
Over us and into our beings
We are on this train and in this moment
Let's stay here for awhile,sugar!...
