Angel Humble

Moony nirvana sigh
An angel hovering in the sky
Especially, one that's in the why
Paying tribute in cry
Above the flying
A holy weep place, in skying 
In a rainbow, humble, heaven
Worshipping a glory garden
An angel, becoming
Praising as kneeling, bowing

Premium Member Sunset-

Fluttery eyes
Shallow deep breathe
Darkness bedding
Midnight nighttime
Passions end marveled lonely quench
Thought of sunset
Flung temporary
Evening never skying
Sun is falling out of view
Stepped a night-vision skyline

Where’s the sun going
Don’t GO
Sleepy tho!
And the dark never investigating
Fluttery eyes
Shallow deep breathe
Darkness bedding
Midnight nighttime
An d the dark never investigating
Don’t GO
Sleepy tho!
The silent sky summarizing 


I crave the silent, somnolence skies
I heard a daytime, moonlit stroking
The temporary test timing 
I crave the slumber less, suspense sunset 
Horizontal yawning
Skies falling
upon a midnight nighttime
Deep into that darkness reviewing
The stroboscopic sleep scrutinizing
Deep into that darkness evaluating

I threw my celestial equator upon the floor
Deep into that darkness gauging more
where has the light gone
Time for sleep as the moon says you jest
I guess
Must be twilight NO, just

Sunset

Skying An Oar

Long time ago, in lonesome youth shine
In a wonder state of boykind
Making paper pontoons
Skying an oar, in a creek lagoon
On a yummy, afternoon
In swampy, draconian, water spittoon

The artsy-crafty, paper tub boat
I heedlessly, knacked, to float
Voraciously, rocked and rolled
Swiftly, into wet slimy herbage
Between crying, wet, musty edges
Cruising, murmuring, delicate, breezes

While under perpetual, shiny, sky
With a calming, breeze, high
My desolate vessel going bye-bye
Sailing, sailing away
Like the days, that passed 
When once, a young spirited sass

The Flying Butterfly

The flying butterfly
Flying high in the sky
Perching in the apple-eye
Hi butterfly why in blue-sky?
There on the thyme with a smile

The flying butterfly
In nursery rhymes the passer-by
Calling children far and wide to vie
In a twinkle of an eye 
The babies beautifying in style

The flying butterfly
Flings her feathers well-nigh
In the butterfly bush, skying high
Upon the yellowish pine trees, the hover-fly
Displays her colourant in the sky

Usually at a stone's throw they fly  
Should I give a farewell as goodbye?

It doesn't respond but around d flowers they fly
Flower-flies, in July
Butterflies announcing the summer eye

Smelling the blue and green flower for awhile
The dragon flies in the sky
Flower-flies bidding goodbye butterfly
Far and near they fly
Descending the harmattan wind from the sky

Oh! Butterfly, I wish I can fly
So high in the sky
It may be for awhile
But there in the colouring clouding sky
I shall bid goodbye with a smile
