That folded barrio flour,
Candor candied blemish
Was found
Beside my times
Nestled curtsey
Pliant blush
Confi, confetti
Tower piza tall
Ballerina repose throw rugs
Of roja fiends
The upright ends alone
You know you got
Just what it takes
The stairway from I do
Baby you lost
What I take
There in wait
I am planned forwards
Rest of mind, escapes in days
Mare on jaunt
Fred nostaire?
Parent hatred and fair
Whims and spotlighting darkness
A posting flyer of despair beautifully written
Collide in hides
Invites and excentric
Repulsive conversion of meeting place
School ties and community bland

Birthday
Special day
Day we reckon as special
Deviate from normal
Indulge in celebration
Spotlighting attention
None in Nature ever celebrates
All perform their usual duties
Stars, Sun, Moon, Trees, Rivers, Hills
All Wonders, none yearns for wishes
Birth, Death ends of same spectrum
Life in between is real celebration
Celebrate moments with gratitude
Wish well, help others gain altitude
Birthday
Just another day

Woodsman on a prowl
Sneaking around like an owl
Noticing innocents getting a fright
Watchman you are a good knight
Defending partiers in a plight
Battling a monster in a murderous fight
Erich you guarded them all
Despite the rainfall
Where thunder clapped
Lightning snapped
Spotlighting your heroic stage
Heralded by the girls maturing in age
Until your deadly scripted page
As we reflect surrounded by campfire mist
Who should be on the angelic list
Mr. Anderson may not have received Brad Clooney fame
But we knew your look maybe not name
Reminded the rat was Ben
While the chopping mall no longer needed Ken
RIP mechanical hiking buddy
Protecting those from evil not really funny
Make it sunny
Heavens will be brighter
Since you are now a soulful fighter
We all down here
Are in it for the scream and cheer
Toasting Rob Dier
With a corkscrew and beer

In my Dreams
I dreamed in my dreams that I could sing
That folk would find it worth listening
I saw myself standing on a stage
Below bright spotlighting glistening.
With diamanté mike in my hand
And fans all wildly, madly cheering
I was in splendour of happiness
And hoping that the world was hearing.
Sadly when my song came to an end
I found a silence was descending
I believed I’d receive loud applause
Truth was brutally condescending.
I asked the Lord above what went wrong
He said that I wasn’t meant for singing
Tears slid down alike a mountain stream
And my poor tortured heart was stinging.
So I never sang a song again
But in my dreams I was still wishing
That I would be on the stage again
But then, the wistful voice was missing.
Though I had always dreamt I could sing
Singing decidedly isn’t my thing.

stick together people
the elites
are gleaning power
from the seeds of misery garden
they're dividers of the masses
nothing more-nothing less
they smother smiles - voices.. happiness
wishing
to keep us in our safe-less spaces
for eternity.
every media outlet is brimming with
half-truthers-distorters-liars
phallic symbols for political parties
erect with hate-void of integrity
highlighting the ogres of society
breeding fear
spotlighting the freaks of society
wanting us believing all white people
are grand wizard hearted
that black veins are filled with thug sludge..
corporations are feeding piles of green to the media machine
forever stomping the bent backs of the plow horse class
planting hollow souled politicians in our garden of democracy
but in time
all devils will expose themselves
stumble over their own fetid script
in time they'll soon forget their own lies..
slit their throats-hang from ropes
of their own making
stick together people
unity is the purist form of diversity
stick together people
soon enough(with help from God)
we'll turn evil into crumbs

An evening of past memories
sweet glances of moonlight
such enticement of a thing
turns me although trembling
into a soften breeze
While fences breaks my skin
wind sounds will caress me
drying tears of my sleep
lingering and whispering
hidden in the shadows
Such a stillness in words
as abstract as I paint
hanging by a thin thread
drifting until I see
stars spotlighting on me
Until the music sets fire
and drafts wander free
your true essence shown
I'll keep dancing on my own

Breathing wind
across ocean currents
Waves of a sea murmur
under tides turn over emotions awakening
Satin white washed surf
Beholding
upon the rocks
Beloved apex
a sunbeams brilliance
Wetly kissed
under a rainbow arch
Throwing light
of the moon spotlighting
dancing with the shadows
Crouching where the sun rests
Twilight fires burn amber
within clouds shooting gunbarrel grey

I am
just thinking of you fondly
Hoping I bring a smile warmed inside
It is windy I must admit to you
who bring the sunshine love
Being honest I dream of cuddling up to you
Trying to visualise a feeling
each time I see you
my heart stops as you enter
Breathtaking beautiful lights up
I love holding your hands
I feel they fit with mines perfect
When I look upon your smile
light of One in a thousand angels
holding a breathless moment
Center stage spotlighting
Just In that single second
my love for you is sealed
Kissed By the beauty
of having you sweet Cinderalla
holding the glass slipper in my life

A timeless sense of joy a magical fairy dust sprinkle from the stars
My heart's flame one rhythmic and sensual warm dance
Listening to our sweet music echoes magic whispers inside the mirrors glow
Power stands within the beauty romancing warm waves uniting flow
In a halo of silver light shining luster deeply sparkles over wishes beam
Each new moon embracing forever spotlighting precious silver ball in one dream
Our love brought us together through life's destiny
Two souls have united entwined in love's single embrace
Beautiful snowflake you're one of a kind always unique falling true rings
Softly warm melting desires lovingly touch gently finding Heaven sings
When the gaze of my eyes meets yours
You bring me joy and happiness my dear valentine

Faraway ambassador of light distant dream sailing ocean waves
begging golden spear of destiny strikes midnight bells ring
Spotlighting beautiful stunning to the eyes priceless gem
diamond brightly sparks on a shining jewel treasure find
Mystery shades gasping warm breathless smiles tides turn flutters the heart
beating drum roars as the arrow strikes sexy moonlighting beauty
Hot flushes sweeping deeply skipping flames on magic dust
wishes warm touching inside the darkest night glowing thoughts
Haunting full lips silver pearl whispers silently dancing tunes sing
blowing across deep sands echoes over oceans kissing paradise moonbeams
