the root of my happiness
Besotted

overly interested in
our togetherness
it stems from our love
for one another
that perfect part of
loving
that perfect part of belonging
I am in love with you!
I love yoou too
we are in love with
one another
Lovers!
In the morning,
Under bright, not yet hot, Sun
I water the garden,
Greens of all shades,
A sprinkling of flowers, in pastel hues
Plants all, soaking up their daily drink
With thirsty smiles
Water, running endlessly
From the river through the hose
Flowing, contained, now free
Soothing, nourishing, sustaining
All the plants
And me.

Candle
Warm, gentle glow
Swaying. Rocking. Dancing light.
Calming in the storm's power cut...
Angst burns out. Flame melts hearts.
There is a place we always seek,
Where peaceful hearts their stillness keep,
It calls to us when we are weak,
And draws us into rest so deep.
It is a haven, calm and bright,
A quiet space we come to know,
Where shadows soften into light,
Our inner strength begins to grow.
Follow the river as it flows,
Beside the lake so calm and still,
To where the silent water glows,
And time itself bends to your will.
Escape the turmoil all around,
Here you claim your identity,
Where angry voices lose their sound,
You rest in calm serenity.
trees soaking in sun
vibrant florida sunbeams
heating southern sky
Touch me ever so gently
where my heart once was.
Appease its clinging pulsing ache.
Heal me as only you can do.
Set the night aglow with golden glitter,
your warmth is like a soothing balm.
Come closer and whisper to my ear.
Tell me everything I long to hear.

softening the edge of day.

tide-slow thoughts drift out to sea,
leaving only quiet light.

The Soothing Spirit of Spring
The winter frost retreats before the sun
As greens awake from the slumbering earth
To tell the story of spring now begun.
Thousands of buds prepare their silent birth
With petals unfolding to catch the light,
Pervading the air with shimmers of mirth.
Robins hum their song to dispel the night,
Rivers rumble with water clear and deep,
With all the world immersed in mirthful plight.
Life awakens from its prolonged dark sleep
To plant the seeds of all we hope to find,
Promising sunshine that summer will keep.
The soothing spirit of spring fills the mind
With ripples of gentle delight entwined.
R-ich cream, served in a shallow crystal bowl
A- delicious taste for the fervent soul
S-oft, spongy, soaked in sweetened milk quite cold
M-eant for special occasions and for all
A-lmonds strewn thin and spread like winter rain
L-ight cardamom that pleases on the tongue
A-ll stress and strains fade to ease body`s pain
I-ts every bite is like a soothing song.
Gentle,
Soft touch lingers,
A warm hug, a kind smile,
Kindness quiet presence felt deep,
Caring.
Warm feel
For cherished one,
With flickers of the heart
Smile glows, a serene silent song,
Soft touch.
Minding,
A gentle glance,
Fine feelings that linger,
A heeding tap on the shoulder,
Fondness.
Calming,
Warm and tender
Expression of liking,
Soothing with pleasant words spoken,
Softly.
Honeyed
Glance through the eyes,
Sweet compliments they give,
Kindness may be misunderstood
For love.
Hear the sound of my cry echoes
As the cry of sweet melody flows
A melody of sweet remorse
Feel it in your veins to endorse
Touch my heart Feel it gold
A warm note is enough to warm the cold
Snatch my breath away reaper of songs
A tune to one belongs
Play along Erik satie
I feel your melody with clarity
Gnossienne no 1 strikes a piano good
Don't stop ,it's one for the mood
With rhythms of liquid litanies, the sea offers up her amazing peace, overflowing with music that pursues in a voice so very tender and overwhelming – almost a prayer of sweetest faith ~ by poet
In the turquoise waters, impressions glow
Glistening like tears who reflect the quiet flow
Of a hesitant prayer, fading sunrise praise
Mellow as the gentle air, waters who amaze
In the turquoise waters, still as the song
Blessings, away with each shadow who doesn’t belong
Mending the heart music’s soft tone
Pouring over the waves, spirits who groan
In the turquoise waters, silent tears fall
Love so sacred, richest joy of them all
Soothing the dark with the surf’s surge
Whispering its sweetness in a wave’s urge
In the turquoise waters, swells of sweet grace
Breaking over the sands in a lovely embrace
Risking dreams once were meant for me
Reducing them to mere sprays from the sea
From this Atlantic, comes a sight that’s such relief
Opposing night, leaving out grief
Oh, the joy of being comforted by the sea
That turquoise joy, so gentle and kind, such sweet glee…
Pulgar De Capo< who wrote the lyrics
I heard he was scared to use his active card
due to it's name.:per diem, or diurnal. He
bought a new guitar and meet up with his
tour manager to discuss changing the way
his tour would be funded. He saw his success
in music as being more modern. "Man I aint riding
no horse from town to town. " We can get a tour bus
have an onboard Cusine Specalist, excercise goon : and a vocal coach.
The drummer, the gutairist and the pianist and keyboard
operate can share the ride with me
save the money and just deal with
tryna be freinds in the end!"
They toured the nation and did some gigs in Mexico and Canada. They bought a manion on Baja Pennensula: there they meet up with
Opera Gig masters.
"That Disco type stuff is new. We founded New-Wave Groove" a new way of jamming and creating
soothing groove minded music!" we love the New Type "Cool Grooves" that wicked Funky Cool Stuff"

wordds that amazes
sparkling and shining bright
what a marvelous site
what a beautiful day
In love is a
joyous way to be
in love
we're in love
I'm in love with you
Everyday is our specail day
everyway is our specail way
the details are never confussed
In love I'm the winner
how many guys come home
and say whats for dinner
I don't feel exploited
or misused
I'm in love with you
Even when folks try to trick us
we stand stong nothing
comes between us
when it's humorous
we say we're amused
but when i's time to stick together
we hunker down
hey we're clever
look around
and I got you
cold brewed caffeine fix needed
facing head on the mid-august heatwave
~ a sip of uplifting delight
