To release the dreams of lost children...

Morning's peaceful rise
subdues low hanging clouds of gray
burning soft from view
a warm splayed light is night's demise

Night subdues color 
till Dawn's light pierces 
its indistinct heart
and it bleeds scarlet
onto crimson smeared
alabaster clouds.

Belief..
       in grief
awakes trust,
defeats despair
subdues rage,
        deciphers
fact from fiction:
breathes
            hope
refutes
            lies
purges
            pity
stands firm
diminishes time...

such grace 
provides solace...

Of this Love, God's godly substance
That let itself spurt out
As a fount of human suffering
Is what's heard sung about.
Midst parched hearts, world's collective
Edenic hoping renews.
Under harsh winds' curse, and vultures'.
Grinding fate's; Death's subdues....

      Tremble with joy
         Praise Him with fear 

      The Lord of Heaven and Earth
         The Judge of us all is here

      He raises up the humble
         Subdues stubborn pride 

      Weds Himself to the righteous ~
         He is their groom. They are His bride

Darkness, creeping along the ground;
Wind rustling, seeds of doubt abound. 
A poisonous villain, seeking its victim. 
Light fading, composure escaping; 
Nowhere to hide. The game running, tripping. 
A pounce. A scuffle; commotion ensues.
A bite, with invisible toxin, subdues. 
Frozen, unmoving, breathing decayed. 
Fear, the predator. Hope, the prey....

Mother of folktales
Milking and waxing.
I wish you for a taste

We'll sing and have cocktails
Under your enamel masking
A night with you never a waste.

Your beautiful smile
Subdues the nights' dread
And gives comforts in sleep.
You light every mile
Of your milking spread
A delight worth to keep.

My eyes await you
The sight of your white hue.

Journalist jeopardizes hegemony

Unveils untold injustices

Lacerates limits of freedom

Invokes imminent amendments

Answers alleged incriminations

Negates nefarious power


Antagonizes acrimonious lies

Suffers slaughter of right

Subdues surrogate meanings

Awaits apoplectical hatred

Nears noxious injection

Gulps generous hemlock

Ends evil monopoly...

You speak without words,
talk slowly, with fingertips
gorging on my soul;
As you strum I start to hum 
sighing ever so sweetly;

Diabolical,
your anger excited me;
A moth to a flame, 
ecstasy a brief smother 
with that dark velour blanket;

Empty, crying out
my sound quiets the silence;
Subdues the restlessness
over and over again;
Now you know I’m a psycho.

Just like you ....

A gentle hand upon my skin
To balm my sleeping soul within
A fragile brushing 'gainst my face
Adorns my soul with air and grace.
The kindest, mildest, tender touch
Subdues my soul to mind too much
The quaver of my joyful heart
As all my anguish blows apart.
And in the fluent light of morn
A freshness in my soul, reborn,
Where thoughts bygone, should I partake,
May kiss my brow as I awake....

The year has passed. away
And the Sun, marking the Time 
Crept down a step further,
Throwing the anguish of the past 
On the New comer.
But a bafflement subdues
The buoyancy of his mind
As he returns to the mooring Where the new ends,
Aid Boredom (dispersal In the desolate street)
The Time has kept it tied
And though his legs are trembling 
He lingers and then throws himself 
On the wreckage of Tomorrow....

I am stirring inside myself with temptations resting in my belly. My heightened senses drift in and out of my mind. Washed up colors of Indigo... a wave of sexuality subdues me. Take my dagger and conceal it in my soul set my submission on fire. I am perfect with instruction that I lay at your feet, The heat from my breath swells inside you and my lips invite your seductive charm. As I Relish in your arms....

Passion's hue is crimson rose
 With heartbeats tinged in golden glow
 Caresses color emotions flow
 As kisses painted in lavender grow

 Like a burst of colors in springtime
 Love has vibrant hues sublime
 The summer sky it  tints in blue
 The silver moon it then subdues

 Love colors the heart with delight
 As its many hues it imparts
 And when love comes at first sight
 A plethora of blushes paint the heart...

In my gleam of consciousness
I crush on a lady of complete awesomeness
Her body is fruity
The very epitome of beauty!
Esther Sando: a lady of virtue
That always makes use of her IQ
Her smile that passes
Like Summer's buzz
Subdues my heart to tremble
With her fair face Portia to resemble.
She is out and out beautiful!
A queen fit only for the faithful
You could wonder how she's created
If only she were not an angel....

Into two pools of a soft, cool blue
My soul dares to take a dive
The mistress whose orbs my heart subdues
Is a shipwreck I can’t survive

My knees grow weak, my palms do sweat
In my stomach flutter butterflies
Her eyes entranced when first we met
My cause is lost you realize

Into two pools of a soft, cool blue
My freedoms are sure to drown
But a heart unbroken is a heart turned cruel
To dive and perish, is better, I’ve found...

Daylight dances at the nape of your neck
Playing hide and seek with the places
I loving laid soft kisses
On the way to your heart

A subtle smile subdues my being
And I am one with the world
A fresh chapter awaiting
A chance to be created with the day

Sweet breeze take me away
With your dainty hints of ambrosia 
and your faint feminine touch
Fill my cup with your passions

Take hold   and comfort me
Take hold    and set me free...

The trembling weak knees
The second glance
Into eyes that please
Walking headlong into her trance
Like a mazed rat
All i can do is stare
She sets the snare
The bait is bit
A melting smile
A swirling hip
A lingering fragrance
Subdues the soul
No Choice but to follow
Ive lost control
I watch her strut
I watch her swerve
As attraction builds 
So does my nerve
Just as I move in
I halt, To my Alarm
This beauty is swept up
 In another man's arms...

Conscience

He is in me. 
He is a man of advice.
Warning me of my intentions.
Telling me of what to do at all times.
He leads my paths and guides my steps.
He guards my way and protects my destinations.
He informs me to advance and advance me with information.
He pulls me back and backs me up. 
Dealing with my emotions, he subdues me. 
Informing him of my freewill, he tells me of his freedom.
His path to me is free. 
He is the me in me, that makes me the me I am....

Remember me when I'm still alive
When my breathe hacks at my chest,
My blood runs through my raw veins,
Full throttled life, extravagant in beauty.

When I am weary of all my struggles
 And relapse into time-plunged culdesac,
When vicious silence breathes subdues the interval,
Where triumphs cool, or victories prude.

Remember me in those sterile days
When the fateful gravy train departs
Down the hill into the grey valley
When victories and all celebrations cease....

Yellow rays reflect golden 
sparkle into air,
Glitter into eyes, heat that we 
yearned soothens,
Here comes the sun!!

Frozen blood melts and 
numbness flays,
Haziness in sky flees and 
evenings lengthen,
Hibernation of all life is over!

Yellow mustard stands high In 
fields,
Sunflower turns and vows head 
to sun,
Each life reverberates sunshine!

Wintery winds are near to 
conquer,
Radiant cheerfulness subdues 
cold,
Here comes the sun !!
