Short Turtledove Poems

I dance with my girlfriend called Devvy,
I carry her to bed and I wed ye;
I'd offer my love,
or ten turtledove,
but I doubt I could afford t'a fee!

Golden moments, true love,
Turning you on, turtledove,
Secrets unfold,
Desire never old,
Grey now, not cold,
Blessing generations, 
Sing grey liberations..........

O solo mio

I am in love

with a cooing bird

a turtledove



I am so happy

That's why I sing

I've just one question ~

How the H (hold this note for a long time!) 

 do I hump this thing?...

....And, she cannot hide ? No matter how she tries, to deny....
Nor disguise these dreams inside ? Deep, her beauty's beautiful eyes
Dancing with their ghost these ghost; his host, amid haunted's past ? Baby girl!...

Poet’s sleep
with their memories
to hate or to love
Voices unanswered
the night’s
turtledove
Darkness remembers
what daylight
forgets
As dreamers
reenter
— what twilight begets

hunter's bullet fired
turtledove falls swiftly down...
white aura floats up

poet collapses
upon kitchen floor silence...
white garment caress

white light very bright
draws dove poetess to come...
white light tunnel's end  

Who knows what it is......

The Father shows love:

in the heavens above

and the microbes below…man…turtledove 

by the witness of the pure white dove

in the warmth of faiths’ glove

Old gorgeous Jake is completely in love
Hours he stares and hears a turtledove.
One weekend he never leaves her alone.
He stays in there with a well-used comb.
He goes nowhere, eats nothing at all.
He stretches and preens and stands so tall!
His parents are tearful and truly fear
He’ll never fall out of love with his mirror....

the wind beneath my wings
the song in my heart
i do not want to ever be apart

I can be your one and only
Never leave me lonely
i am giving you my love

fly with me like a turtledove
over the sky and through the woods 
your loving is so good

be mine and only mine 
forever and the end of time
without your love would be a crime

if it is illegal for you i would do the time...

Angels?

Are they ornaments worn on our shoulders as symbols?
Are they ten foot-tall guardians, guarding those with faith	?
Are they messengers of God?
Are they dense enough to cleanse an entire evil space?




Whence I ponder angels…
Akin to an innocent child
Or likened to that of a sheep   
Inflected on as a snow-white turtledove…


Was the most aesthetic angel the precursor for hell?

Six o’clock on a Sunday morn
I hear the call of a forlorn
Dove. Its mourning sound so sadly
pled evokes a melancholy.
It spurred my thinking back in time
When I was of another mind:
A time when we had fell in love
And witnessed by a turtledove.
So many springs have come and gone
And still I hear its cry at dawn.
A sound that conjures up in me
A sad but loving reverie:
A daydream of that morning bird
Whose sad refrains we both had heard....
