L-ook at the mountain, 
L-ush vale is in its shadow, 
P-ine trees bring beauty.

Persephone’s floral carpet

Reaps starlets on green

Lush pastoral Fields of Fame

Rivulets of water
run down my windows. I
rush outside so I can
rescue my washing. Its
ruined! I’m extremely
riled as they had forecast
rays of bright warm sunshine

Push beyond boundaries and dreams, lofty or small 
Unyeildingly ambitious, you must always stay 
Strive for glory and excellence in all your endeavors 
Hold up the sky with both hands as you stand tall

O n the very first day of this month
C hilling winds make their debut
T hroughout the country farmers make reap their last harvest
O pen pastures remain where grain once stood
B ut it is the last day of the month, the
E ve of all Saints, when children 
R ush from home to home, seeking treats and playing tricks...

Sand and blue sea sing to my soul.

Up in the sky the sun smiles.

Now is my time for peace.

Boats drift past the beach

As I drift with

Them till the

Hush of

Eve.

Tipsy on your honey-sweet flavor
Hungry desire for your healing touch,
Intensifying; so tantalizing
Rush of excitement you give me, wild;
Shivers my body and spirits as I
Taste you with my eager tongue!

Rising from horizon
Rush storm clouds dark and low
Rapidly melt to make
Rhythmic surge of shower
Receptive trees soak in
Rills run on foliage
Rain drops dance with wet leaves.

First seductive moves and intimate touches
Of bodily drive so hot and sensual, starting with no
Rush or haste, just slower, slower and slow, then
Engine gets heated up, everywhere becomes charged
Points to specifically visit cannot be by passed
Licks, sucks and massages in steady speed
Acceleration kicks, desires burn into each other
Yearnings sum up this outburst to begin the core...

B-e calm and composed, 
E-arly eighteenth of September; 
T-hink normally of the situation, 
H-orror won't do any better. 

P-ush no panic button, 
R-emain firm and focused; 
A-llow the truth to speak, 
D-evil's deceit is 
O-bvious. 

P-ush no panic button, 
I-n spite of the threat; 
L-et not your mind think 
A-bout fear, woes, and fret. 
Z-one of risk and danger occurs all of a sudden; 
A-rm your heart with faith, push no panic button....

L-et the bright side of night make
Y-our exhaustion vanish; 
N-ew strength is gained, as you hope for and wish. 

E-ventide's bright side
C-omforts your worried mind; 
L-etting your heartaches heal, 
E-nding and leaving them behind.
V-iew of the night's bright side
I-s a sight of twinkling stars; 
A-pril twenty-first Friday slowly sweeps away the scars.

E-vening silent skyline
C-alms the inner war or fight; 
H-ush moon is quietly looking
O-n the bright side of
N-ight....
