Lost
The sun sinks low, the shadows grow,
No moon is out up high,
A chilling breeze begins to blow,
With stars up in the sky;
I wearily wade my way in

Strains of fate
The strain on the strains of fate
Unseen forces pull
Trying to tug us their way
I anchor myself
I bend not to others will

The Strains of Skies
Merriment has bustled ever so brightly.
You are one who was taken so timely.
Lost inside the strains of skies.
Over above is where you are.
Vast and lonesome, so very far.
Eternally so, until we are one.

The God of Pandemics is silly
Displaying less sense than a lily
The rest of us know
The virus can't grow
Where no one has a 6' willie!

Strains of Interpretation
The bond between our eyes and heart
sometimes is not so strong;
the heart may fool our vision's part-
conducting its own song.
The bond between our mind and soul,
half-hearted, blend each view;
the soul can shade the mind's eyehole-

Death In the Midst of Pain Strains
For lives lived in perennial pain in strain rain
Death delivers droves of reinvented relief
Cutting corners from trains of painted pain
Accumulated at the hands of a throng thief.
Death delivers droves of reinvented relief
In the midst of indifference insisted upon in each instance
Accumulated at the hands of a throng thief
Clad in clothes claiming to restore bliss balance.
In

Pluck lyrics here
Start with good cheer
Prime pretty page
Wise words now stage
Please simple flight
Dream sure and light
Prompt profound say
Soul shows the way
Round and round keep
Mellow thoughts deep
Feel surge of urge
Let joy emerge

Sense fine music
Show grand mystic
Live well each peak
As magic speaks
Watch love now grow
As rapture shows
Forge easy strains
That echo gains
Once in a while
Fancy greets style
Live in the light
Of bubbly sights
Know when to stop
Ere the last drop
Pain can be good
To show odd mood
Love wears a style
Prompt and worthwhile
See that you see
How best can be
Wear well each strain
Outlive

Pure joy sighs
In sure highs
Seek to know
How love grows
In good time
Cheer sculpts rhymes
By and by
Calm clear sighs
Warm the cold
Dare be bold
Walk your talk
Let truth stalk
Be one whole
Heart and soul
Live fine strains
Prompt yet plain
Do good now
Love knows how

Breaking Dna Strains
Breaking DNA Strains
In Biology lessons, one reads of mutations…
That inexplicable quirk of natural selection…
For once in a while some individual thrives…
While at other times, another withers and dies…
The latest movies exhort the supreme human being…
Through the process of mutated genes, he comes into being…
The Marvel World of Super Heroes and super bad Villians …
Though fictional,

The Last Strains of the Decrescendo
The last strains of decrescendo were still in my ears
Dancing at the masque party time flew leisurely on downy feathers
The night was still youthful, the breath enjoying every fragrant inhale
The last strains of the decrescendo were still in my ears
I was jostled to my senses when it was announced that I had won a free

Modern shoppes
Bayfront attractions;
Window shopping spree

Midnight nocturne
Window view moments;
Bedtime distraction

Music seeps
Through front door;
Passing minstrel vagabond

Easy escapade
Scented lemongrass;
Spa massage
~~~~~~~~~
Fond company
Old lovers sit quietly;
Calm charms crisp
