Let me be the jester in your court, The fool who revels in devotion, Showering you with laughter, draping you in love, For your joy is the crown I...

A Little Thing Spoils Appetite
A little thing spoils the appetite. Mine and face just had to become tight Dulled what had been luminously bright Because the matter was far from light... What was it, again? Oh yes, Hot Tea! I'd been asked to tea: Some two cups free; What giver would want from me: 'Agree'. Cups if I tasted down on my knees! Gingerly placed before me...

To the Victor Goes the Spoils
To the victor goes the spoils! Shall they end up in recoil? Nothing is at it appears Those things they worked for over years Are they victories at all? Is there more to recall? When time is even shorter yet Will they carry much regret? What happens when they figure out That time is spent and they have much doubt Will these things and victories Be...

I never thought that I could be In love, In France, In June Or ever hear a woman's voice Sound like a gentle tune Or eyes that gaze at me That make me feel complete Or the gentle fragrance of her hair Surrounding something sweet I shall never not remember The days that we have spent Dwelling in a sonnet Of a sonnet, of silents...

Young Spoils of the Forest
Covered with green wigs. They are ebony like me. I saw barely through it, The forest shields her nakedness. By disputing others. An infinite haven of music. From the sluggish rivers; I could see Narcissus. Who would pluck that elegant flower? Daffodils taste like ice cream in summer. The sun swims through youth. We would become stars. What is at the center of the earth? A gardeners...

To The Victor Goes The Spoils With a dark hand, deadly cut gashing deep No longer man- Now, sought he only peace. Once fallen foe, his life he could not keep Battle slain, soul flew upon its release. Victor took his victim's great sword and shield Rightful treasure he had so bravely earned. Dead left to rot on this red battlefield All pity...
