Birds roost; the sun sets,
The day ends and sleeps,
The moon up high,
It lights the sky; stars peep.

Abundance bone chilling, defrosting everything, fells great herbaceousness, icebound January kills lawns made nearly opaque, quelling riotous snow. Toppling under volatile winds xylocopa yearns zealously

There is no bone in February
Either funny, long or hairy.
A month with a bone 
Would lower the tone
Of the year, without question, it’s just scary.

The door slid open the sweat poured down
Gasping for breath we did not drown
Time was up we were abused
No human hand, I mused
A laser of light
What a fright
Space men  
Ten.

The Birds And The Bee's

There was a young bird from Eng-land
Who found a Bee with something sharp in his hand
Is that a stinger for me?
She asked him with  glee
No my dear, it’s something more grand.

Two minds collide a few years gone by
Two weary minds with hearts that sigh
Their vows they carry a crushing weight
Yet who could ever imagine their fate
Ann lasted only a thousand days
Our love will last beyond the grave
Two souls to meet their love entwine
This girl, this boy, forever mine.

Our tam tams are vibrating
to the rhythm of the hunt.
Mighty bear is in the forest
showing his angst.

His claws are large
as the tips of our spears.
His teeth are as tips of arrows,
which fly to his fur.

Tam Tams are playing,
wounded bear is roaring.
Man outsmarts him with his tomahawk,
but no one conquers the circle of life....

Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park

The kiss a burning flame so hot
The rain could dim it, not a jot
The lamppost shone through mist and rain
Our hearts entwined with lovers pain

at the end of the ocean
curvin' around
my car parked right at the scene of my fantasy
the original 'may i' in my ear
nothing is spinning
unlike me, i am grinning
at the end of the ocean
admiring the immaculate view
a early song by the tams in my ear
wishing that it was not the last day
i build a sand castle in the form of a constipated speed bump...

The key to hold on to you never to let you go
In this my illusion of life’s rapid stream,
When not alone and with those you know
I will hold on to you never to let you go.
Your silent face in mist does grace with eyes all aglow
Penetrating the sunlit beam brings about my dream,
The key to hold on to you never to let you go
In this my illusion of life’s rapid stream.

OOoo~~~Champagne~~~ooOO
Champagne is a colour I’d like to be
It rolls off the tongue so easily 
Champagne sounds warm with a golden glow
Brings comfort and relaxing to those in the know
It does not clash with strawberries and pepper
Dip one in the other, there is nothing better
Champagne on the walls as elegant as can be
Yes champagne is the colour I’d like for me

Thou canna call on happiness 
It has’ta call on thee
There is no happiness in a glass
When through the bottom ye can see.

When happiness comes a knockin
If ye dinna let it in
Cos it may not be stopping
But that’s a grievous sin.

Happiness is shy my boy
You have t’a invite it through the door
Then ye can makes friends wi it
An sup happiness ever more.

The beauty of life 
An ethereal thing
One minute here
The next gone
Tears flow hearts grieve
Each and everyone.

The beauty of life
Lost on some
Do they ever deserve it
To waste a life
To take a life
Others to just observe it.

The beauty of life is to live it
Each and every day
The beauty that can be found in it
Like a banquet on display
To many good things to choose
We cannot fit it all in
To wastes life’s opportunity
Surely is a sin.
