Quote By: Nat King Cole, "You call it madness but I call it love "
A whisper of dreams landing on my pillow
arriving on the nightstands of amber afterglows
surrender to me and we'll take it nice and slow
gazing softly in each others eyes, by candle glow
A whisper of dreams soaring like two eagles
we will match our wings of glory to the seagulls
then fly towards the moon with passion's equal
in sotto voce voices, gleaned and culled
A whisper of dreams stitched by mere desire
with every longing quenched we will retire
to the mountain top where stars suspire
extracting from the sky an Angel's fire
Burning every bridge we'll swivel up forever,
like two matching weightless, downy feathers.

A man awaits his end,
Dreading and hoping all;
Many times he died,
Many times rose again.
Love is the unfamiliar Name
Behind the hands that wove
The intolerable shirt of flame
Which human power cannot remove.
We only live, only suspire
Consumed by either fire or fire.

In the stillness of one quiet day we can hear the trees breathe easy
Leafy arms up towards the sky, they suspire to inspire us with beauty
The cadence of the breath takes us to a peaceful place of deep rest
We are privy to the Celestial Love of our Mother Father God, ...
who so lovingly bestows on us pure Grace. A living essence exists
within each of us, as we co-exist in this world with strength and
stamina, we leave behind all doubts. (BREATHE )
When night falls upon our tired eyes we are lit from within by the
memory of a spiritual lantern that is shining brightly inside our
hearts. The casting crowns of amber and gold warm the soul and
we are invited to sit on the porch of our thoughts and go deep into
that good night. (BREATHE)
Love blooms in the evening contemplation, then
gives us its flowers by rising sway. Claim your colors dear soul,
claim your healing, this is the day that was created for you,
God had an angel deliver you on earth yesterday and today,
well you are here, so breathe and know that you matter most
right here, right now.. Namaste

May the butterflies of this world return to us once more
when the spring provides her heat we will no longer hide
Eastern winds of far away lands flying in unknown shores
their cellophane wings of light need to return and chide
Once they adorned our many flowers here in Canada
now they are a memory of yesterday's summer gaze
I cling to the hope that tomorrow I won't need algebra
to count the flutter of their wings, like yonder days
I'll know them by the colors of their flight and groove
that April has arrived with her rainy cascade
all the trees will suspire as they soften their moves
garnished once again, with butterflies of every shade
I know that when the season wakes we are going to see
Monarchs, European skippers, and frosted elfin too
as the warmer shades and colors meld into the sea
we will begin to spot the pupas, and butterflies anew.

inextinguishable
is your appetency
for what you suspire
you feed on this drug
to make life passable
but by the same line
that educes endurance
it will transport
inevitable death

like some junkie
on the side of the road
hiding in the shadows
alone in the cold
i suspire the same
momentary
relapses
cravings
solitary
weakness
pleas on my knees
downcast eyes
swelling
with the voids
of life
in trails
of droplets
falling
off tips
too weak
in mind
body
spirit
to push
the needle
in
the weight
of thoughts
beneath
the sighs
of darkness
as i close my eyes
not knowing
if it's the last
time
they will be
open

there's an ardent desire
burnt upon the umbrage
of my mind's deepest thoughts
on fields of green
i sit lost in the strokes
of time's hands
yearning to feel you
like a whisper of wind
as it twirls my hair
in its gentle breath
i long to strip
layers of life
that bind my heart
in the torment
that moans
through the valley
in heavy sighs
i want to gambol
like fragrant petals
in summer's warm caress
not suffocate on smokey breaths
in winter's colorless drab
i suspire beneath mist of dusk
laden upon my skin
and suffice in the bitterness
of your absence
through the traces
etched upon my face
as the years pass by
without you

Unlimited ways to go,
but my feet stepped slow,
leaving me behind
with doubts in my mind,
a strange chaos stood there,
opening doors to nowhere,
My mind trembled to go any far,
neglecting me to go to par.
Life offered me a living,
'twas a thanksgiving,
but I chose not to suspire,
and slowly got used to expire.
As I came to my sense,
I forgot to live thence...

Contemplating eventide
Requested a longed desire
Resting in heart chamber side
Provoking aloud suspire
Burning as a wroth wildfire

I’m no poor man unless I give away
What life and beauty owe me more than most,
Although I do not fear that I would ever stray
From love of which I’d sooner dream than boast.
When all which perishes is born again
To hold me near my memory of you,
I look away, though never would I feign
What might inspire my words and make them true.
A tree grows fair with age despite the leaves
Which fall into forgetfulness at first,
Whereas your eyes change color when the thieves
Of wonton love make hearts suspire with thirst.
What came before—and surely you forgot—
Is that which, once, with many tears, I bought.

Drops drop on dry soil
sky is crying from gruelling heat
humidity takes over from here

charismatic smell of soil in rain
little droplets bouncing off leaves
earth imbibe water with suspire

Let's gather
together
And confess our sins
let's leave the pain
the curse.our offence.
The one and only
the mightiest, come solemnly.
I see him at once,
touched hi feet
only with my eyes
and then turn fleet
to recite the last sigh
with my that suspire
he looked at me thou
he was trying to impart
human were the reason for the moan
I requested him to give us a chance
he stated "it will only enhance
the suffering and the pain".
I closed my eyes with tears in mine
And stood erect to start
start the depart.

Suspire at ease
Queue up - STAND like nothing's awry
Suspire at ease
You're in trek of unfeigned sentience
Never croon unsung poetry
Abscond from death's periphery
Suspire at ease.

(SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE 1917)
It’s just another starry night
all is at peace before the storm,
Yet so afraid am I, of the impending summer’s day
now the shadows begin to form.
Many silhouettes create memories
those in childhood verdant pastures aspire,
yet amongst this valley of planted souls
gives one many reasons to suspire.
I see a subtle portrait of mankind
an apparition suspended from the sky,
in waves of committed butchery
to fill one’s saddened eye.
Are they not also human?
those that dance between the lead,
like me, have they a reason to love
those that advance amongst the dead.
Yet still they come uninvited
like the surf on an inhibited beach,
same God! Same belief!
Our ascendancy, our spirit to breach!
Yet still, I keep on making plans for the morrow
my love I know soon to be all alone.
Oh! How I wish my finger tips to touch her face,
before one rescinds this life, this birthright loan!
