As we fell in love on a midnight hour
Sky lit up in a fairy dust shower
Perchance our love will flourish by the day
Ethereal angel for this I pray.
Amiable we’d be, I’m sure of that
We are meant for each other, it’s a fact
My loving arms would be ever wingspread
Ethereal angel, if we were wed.
We'd prep a paradise cosy and bright
Illuminated by moon and starlight
No need for electricity or heat
For love would have us dancing on our feet.
Ethereal angel, just me and you
Or maybe joined by a cherub or two.

On this earth, which the man beholds
As his sanctuary own, he has proved
The mightiest of all and defied
Challenges unthinkably hard,
Has taken the route of science
To go up the value chain
That shields him from disasters
And plagues but at what price?
Lives sacrificed and centuries wait,
All seem to go up in flames
As out of the blue Coronavirus strikes.
A reminder that the world is flat for all
Crowns and paupers no difference
None owing its pardon for a bribe
Coronavirus the cruel is at his door
With its penchant to attack the crowds,
And known for its savor for flesh vintage
Goes on the rampage in search
Of the vulnerable old, raring
To afflict and put him to death,
Heart wrenches as digs invisibly the pest
Into his kith and kin to reach unto him.
Fight between the man and the devil
Is heating up every second
As destiny stands with bated breath,
With the economy in ruins and so the life
The man needs to hit the devil fast
Where it hurts the most
By cutting off its wingspread
By him moving into a loner's life
A skill that's not easy on the man
But once mastered Coronavirus
Is bound to lay down its arms.

Coronation
I looked up at the azure sky
A figure glided up above
I sat and gazed to see it fly
As to create an act of love
It slightly dipped its wings to sway
I looked up in the azure sky
It closed its wings as if to pray
Projected body up on high
It stopped then swooped; I mouthed a sigh
To watch it swirl and set a course
I looked up in the azure sky
It picked up speed with all its force
Expansive wingspread ocher brown
The mighty Eagle zoomed on high
The regal bird bestowed its crown
I looked up in the azure sky

Written in response to traveling west on a highway facing the sun setting behind dark gray clouds
Come ride into life's uncertain sunset
Where dark clouds may accumulate with dread
Sun's only peeking through mostly ordained
Giving life those moments when with wingspread
One soars in the presence of the Son's love
Feeling His voice tenderly saying come
Feast at my table of gifts tasty, Dove
Focus your eyes upon my beauty some
Ride to life's sunset whatever circumstance
It may present, hold my hand_understand
This is new ground for me_hope accrescence
In love of mankind for heading to promise land
Uncertain skies streaked with gray, sun at bay
Love can lift, sustain, ingrain us for day!
accrescence means growth, continous growth
