MOTHS are to scorching candleflames

     as CLIMBERS are to steep mountains

          as GAMBLERS are to fickle chance

               as LOVERS are to starry-eyed romance!...

daydreaming beside a window

Cinderella was a starry-eyed lass
Dancing at the ball in shoes made of glass
While bolting for the doors
She encountered waxed floors
And unfortunately fell on her A$$!

in the bliss of blooms
in the richness of old gold
chattering I hear

day of fresh breezes
in luxurious summer
brookside in fragrance

starry-eyed starling
his song carried by the wind
a romantic dream...

starry-eyed--
    holly gleams
bringing  zest

dances weave
   till notes pause--
our  eyes lock

voices ring
  “kiss! “ spell cast—

The way you look at me with your eyes all starry eyed.
With the way you say hi.
Makes me get chills down my spine.
Loving you is like no other.
I know you don't know me well.
But I just wanted you to know that I love you....

You called just to say
You’ve had enough of me
Distraught
Distracted with thoughts irrelevant
Sitting in dissonance
And starry eyed innocence
Tongue-tied
My heart died
It fell into the hands of Nyx
And thrown into the river Styx....

   "Hammock Trapeze"


pink powder puff clouds caress

ornate hammock with fair kiss

silky velvet fabric feels

petals starry-eyed trapeze.

Each night when looking into the night sky 
there faraway it remains always that star sparkling 
Breathless echoes enchanting whispers escape

Back over moonbeams floating within the cradle held 
Inside the mirrored reflections dancing upon waves 
starry eyed pearls colour from the rainbow out love...

In the semi-arid suburb, Medina,
A high pitch of sound echoed.
It dopplered through misty shrubs.

A helical dawn goes tidally.
The Pathfinder: stepped,
deep nodded, starry-eyed,
Scarfed fragrant keffiyeh.

Reeled a full throttle of forgiven,
Headed to his students.
The teaching of liberty,
Primed course of life....

Howling artic gusts
frighten birds on snow clad trees
frozen wings swept off

Winter sun burns ice
storm force gales melt and mellow
creatures free to roam

Window frames rattle
wooden huts quake in harsh climes
homely folks cluster

Reindeer sleigh dots sky
children’s starry-eyed rapt gleam
carols thaw iced fog...

yearning for the soft touches
of your lips brushing against mine
under the lambency of this moon
reigning down on me this evening

kaleidoscope of january splashes
iridescence that reflects back
shimmers of starry eyed beams
secretly awakening the scope of dreams
enticing me to delectably crave
sweet kisses from your lips...

Honest to goodness golden stars-
Embedded in my Baby's eyes;
Flecks of bronze on fields of green.
Lordy! how they mesmerize.
Mischief filled; slight hints of sorrow and;
Several shades of wisdom.
PromisesOf wonderful, wicked , sweet surprise.
She had me hooked
The first time I gazed upon-
Golden starbursts, In Baby's eyes....

What waters we drink from
starry eyed and staring 

Alphabet soup


What think we of ourselves
to fill from dank and dark murk

Alphabet soup


What angels with drooped wings
Ask for a better applause


alphabet soup


What tribe to our children do we offer
When we drink from the sin-silly waters of...


Alphabet soup...

Wrinkles deepening with the fleeting years
Show worry and sadness and nothing to come.
Her starry eyed plans are now in arrears
And gone is the look of delicious aplomb.
Her world-class body brought whistles and cheers
Now hid under muumuus to old age succumb.
She works on her tan on manicured lawn
Dreaming of pageants until she is gone....

Starry eyed child
How your dreams run wild
Like fire; blazing.
Starry eyed child
How you yearn for more
Than this world has to offer,
Maybe to be a little softer?
Starry eyed child
Blinded
By your failures,
You give up,
You’ve had it rough
But
Starry eyed child
There’s always light in darkness
Like starry night skies
Starry eyed child....

The sea drowned the sun
and light-year lights
coruscate the darkness
with tiny countless carats
of weighted worlds.
Unreachable masses
esteemed by poets
and starry-eyed lovers
whose naivete nurtures
inspiration and romance.
And like the rarest of gems
Appears a great masterpiece
of literature or another
notable love affair....

The night before Christmas,excitement was high
As starry-eyed children gazed up to the sky.
Soft snow pirouetted then vanished below
To silent applause from the moon’s lambent glow.
And voices in unison rang through the earth
Proclaiming the news of the Saviour’s birth;
A gift of great price from the Father above
wrapped humbly but offered with infinite love.

Sunsets
behind soft shoulders
bare.  Her hair,
pinned up to tease me,
keep her cool while she drifts;
I drive with eyes
mostly for her.

Windows
make beautiful views
whip.  Her lips
part from silence, sigh;
all roads lead to her.
Slow lanes allow
one hand on thigh.

Oldies
play to wake her up.
This, her kiss
taste like summer nights.
I am starry-eyed,
calculating
love-miles traveled....

Moths are to scorching candle flames

                                   as climbers are to steep mountains,

                                       as gamblers are to fickle chance,

                                           as lovers are to starry-eyed romance;

                                               ah, the seductive allure

                                                   of that which is lethal!...
