More coals to the gleeds,
And more speed for the steeds,
Slumbering for the fire,
To burn on the pyre.
Time and time again on wings,
Flies time through climes,
Seasons with the birds cling,
Sing impatient rhymes.
A new day bursts unclouded,
Life again comes unshrouded,
Carried on eagle's flight,
Hurries to dark night.
Bring visions anew,
Keep pace with time's heels,
Play wisdom a cue,
Make efforts go on firm reels.

Her body smoking hot
He couldn’t believe his luck
Wanting to get a closer look
To brush against her shades of pluck
Her eyes brazenly stare
He threw her a lustful kiss
Her hair, like Lady Godiva’s,
embraced her peachy skin with bliss
The nude, in stilettos descended
He was awestruck at the fell event
The staircase with its ornate alibi
She came, not by his innuendos spent
His mouth agape, his hands raised
He gave a shout at the unshrouded cloud
She plummeted down in steep crescendo
The canvas, kissed his teenage lips proud

RAY OF HOPE IN TUNNEL
The sun behind the charcoal cloud pierces a hole
Light streaks of the tunnel strike the forest canopy
Layers of leaves hold them in fraction not the whole
Make the trunks of the cold trees warm and happy.
The foliage splits the rays in tangled tunnels bright
Furrows flashing patterns on the gloomy ground
The forest regains its tunnel vision lost in the night
To mark the lighted pathways to the world around.
You go outside the forest under the open sky clear
The Illuminated life shines in the splendor of the sun
Unshrouded sight reaches the distant and the near
With your open mind carried by untunneled vision.
When despair drives dark clouds in your stormy day
Gloomy life makes for the mind a narrow channel to run
Look through the bright hole in the cloud of dismay
The ray of hope will illumine the tunnel of your vision.

Beveiled, thou Phantom of Romance ,
Ensconced behind a cryptic door.
Might thresholds cross by happenstance,
Entrancing hearts forever more?
Unshackle now that cryptic door,
Thence leave behind life's remnant scar.
Unfettered lives forever more,
Enchanting muse sung from afar.
No longer wield life's garish scar -
Embrace free spirit - never eschew
Those songs of romance once afar -
Enravish reverie anew.
Life's bygone languish now eschew.
Embrace embroiling senses of
Awakened reverie anew.
Entreat now hearts imbued in love.
Arousing senses bested of
Once covetous feigned sanctity
Entreat hearts ever imbued in love
And cherish regaled ecstasy.
Entrust in realms of sanctity
Stars crossed are not mere happenstance
Enclave love's arcane ecstasy
Unshrouded, Phantom of Romance.
