Listen to poem:

Scarlet morphs into a shroud of pink; as
Umber tints a brindled horizon, and
Night welcomes an ebony sky filled with
Stars, while a sliver of moonlight rises
Effortlessly in the blackness of night
Tethered to a dying sun as it bleeds....

Kindred spirits, instantaneously.
It was unbidden love written in the
  Stars for the erstwhile strangers.
  Magical was their connection, an
 Explosion of vermilion; passionate,
 True romance; 'twas sheer kismet!...

Ghostly presence seen nightly
When lighthouse illumes brightly
Fishermen claim to see her
Confounded old tars concur

Her lover swallowed at sea
by fierce waves, old tars agree
Lighthouse beam, sailors concur
Was gone, not even a blur

M-ay you avoid seeing the stars, 
A-lways be on guard; 
R-emain vigilant and alert, 
I-n living this life so hard. 
L-et your eyes avoid seeing the stars, 
Y-our head must not take a hit; 
N-ovember fourteenth Tuesday, be aware of the misfit. 

F-ight your way through, 
R-efrain from losing the wars; 
I-t's time to wear the helmet, 
A-void seeing the 
S-tars....

An Inconvenience

 

It’s funny I thought,

How we seem fraught,

When someone needs a hand.

 

It tars the brush,

And makes us hush,

When they seek future hellos.

 

For once we’ve stepped in,

We hid from our kin,

When they reach out to us.

 

Such a shame you see,

Well the joke is on me,

As cake was in the offering.

 

But now my mind is made,

My time will be saved,

By such and inconvenience!...

S tars o’er spiritual sanctuary
I ndulgence in inward infinity 
L et us linger lush lengths of latitude 
E ndorsement of envied entitlement
N omads in the night negotiating
C alibrating their carefree carapace
E ons seek their earthly enlightenment

R-ain has stopped falling
O-n a chilling, cold dark night; 
S-tars start to twinkle
A-t the wide space of moonlight.
N-ight shadows slowly die, 
N-ew morn is now breaking; 
A-nother special day dawns, beginning to come shining.

M-ake this moment memorable, 
U-sing my song so adamant; 
N-o more rain but beacon this time, 
D-ay nineteen of the ninth month.
A-lone as I write this rhyme, the rainbow suddenly appears; 
S-oftly the wind touches your face, drying away your tears....
