Pain Breeds BeautySpeak your melodies
and I'll dream of harmonies
that will someday be befitting
of your artistry
Similarly
Voice your euphony
and I'll dream of poetry
that will someday be worthy
of your flattery,
and lure you into rhapsody -
pure ecstasy with each word
that breathes between the pages
from beneath those eyes
that never cease to critique,
and a breath that reeks of deceit
and deserted...

TellTell Your wind
no need to roar,
my own need
push enough --
Tell Your Sun
high at its zenith,
no need for excess
gleamith --
Confound further
my soul
saying, for you, no
love to be found,
in painted sky
on textured ground --
If love, for me, not near
nor far-apart – Why, Dear Lord!~

a beating heart?...

Word Ladder from Smile to Frown
A SMILE began, a joyful start,
Then shadows crept and played a part.
The happy face, the light it stole,
As busy MOLES dug in their hole.
The ROLES reversed, the mood took flight,
A different scene in fading light.
No longer pleased, a change was born,
As someone SWORE upon the morn.
A solemn vow, now firmly SWORN,
A heavy truth that...

Word Ladder from HEAD to TAIL
With thoughtful HEAD, ideas took hold,
Then gentle touch, a story told.
A HEALing touch, a soothing art,
Mending the pieces of a weary heart.
The whispered word, a verdant hue,
A vibrant TEAL, fresh and new.
A spoken story, soft and low,
A captivating TALE, starts to flow.
And as it ends, the final sway,
The wagging TAIL concludes the day.

WordsThe power of your words
Can bind a heart or can break it into two
Can create happy memories or painful ones
Can build you up or break you down
Can bridge the gap or make a wide
Your words will reveal your heart.
Your words are the only real wealth that you own
They will draw up the Balance Sheet of...

Soft WordsFrom your tender voice into my ears
flow sensual whispers that enthrall.
Wrapping silk threads around my being,
spellbound... I am beginning to fall.
Soft words caressing hidden feelings,
my heart races, my breathing is deep.
Swept away by the waves of real joy,
grasping emotions I want to keep.
Embracing my heart with warm...
