Colorful splashes
Splish splash splash;
It is a colorful blash;
A brown leaf floats in a bathtub,
Does a leaf make noise, I doubt!!!
Yup!!! A little colorful leaf,
plunges into the bath;
Makes a sigh as a sign of relief;
Soon, other leaves join the path
Spattering the drops,
They do hop;
Here, over there,
And everywhere.
The leaves play, they giggle;
They spray , they wiggle;
They make

Superficial
Within my joy there is no hidden sorrow
No sense in mixing opposites I see
Don’t want to rediscover gone tomorrows
I’m superficial, from the signs of depth I flee
Knowing that troubles could be easily incurred
In magic of the nature I’m involved
It saves my time, and helps me to endure
The anxieties of this deceptive world
To swim beyond the

she splashes with ducks
She chants a ditty when she splashes with ducks
The mud hole under them is mighty with mucks.
She’s getting dirty, her daddy said, looking at her coat.
Don’t be a spoil sport, said grandpa, you are not an old goat.
Grandma took up for her also, loving her smile and her song.
Let her be a child as much

Summertime Splashes
"summertime splashes"
some say summer symbolizes warmth
unleashed with undeniable light
most say the season is rainbow rich
making earth and sky the place to be
evermore for lovers under such spells
running and racing from upcoming cold
time never stands still or sleeps for
impressions harbor until her next roll
managing hourglass sands to downfall as
enchanting elegancies plan each lovesong
search when the moment

Splashes of Spring
Life takes on a vibrant zing,
For we're marching into Spring,
Viridescent splashes seen,
Flowers refresh and leprechauns preen.

Bathtub Splashes
I once rode a hurricane
from Trinidad to Budapest.
Almost drowned five times
grabbing onto driftwood that floated by to stay alive.
Prayed and prayed for a ship to passby.
Finally landed in a place of many temples
A monk had given me rest.
Nourished me spiritually
set me on a peaceful path,
told me to stop searching for what
I lack. Taught me to

Giggles and Splashes
I had waited for you seemingly forever
So long did it take before you were to come into my life
But in so many ways you had always been there
Your hair so white more than once people
Said that you glowed
Your eyes blue gray
Soft but piercing.
In the spring we’d plant flowers and you quite the

Splashes of Hue, Vincent, and Me
they're not listening still
explore with me if you will
vibrant colors
that could kill
explode with me
into Vincent Van Goht's
insanity
where we shall see
the beautiful side
of Huemanity
paint my picture
grey, red, yellow, and blue
color me
like lovers sometimes do
and draw pictures
like Vincent once drew
surrendering shadows of me
suffocated by shades of you
