Who Will Help the Angels Cry?

Beneath a bright-sapphired-sky
I crush and cry

Not cuddling to my unreason
Away I've swept my bean and sigh
That Death must see no greater season...

I cry- Today,
just for a dying-butterfly!

Last Night, I Scared the Boogieman

I wore a tiny hat
knitted with threads of honesty,
but not knowing 
what he had come to see…
I scared the boogieman!

Behind the creepy-crossed-eyes
I couldn’t tell, he was a sheep or a wolf
Yet to tell the whole truth, 
I had myself to blame
Knowing
That’s how he made his fame-
Lame,
but as much as I hate the game…
I had to scare the boogieman

He was the one who was set out
to give me stress-
A corporate bully, at his best
who must’ve taken me for something less
Trying to make me stray
 stealing my entire day
While with a grin
Made me a prisoner in my own skin.
That’s why!
I scared the boogieman.

Like the Zephyr of Anewly-Dawn...

Like the Zephyr of anewly-dawn,
have you seen Her?

Had you seen Her,
a messanger of the horizon
more unpromiscuous!
The honeymooner of Twilght,
like a wingless angel in the morn-light...
Had you seen her coming
In the mirror- In her swing!
"Sweet-Serenade",
to emanate Love- exceptionally

Have you seen Her?

Had you seen Her,
where you've never been...
Beauty- Divine, like tropical hybiscus
is her smile- her breath, of lavender
worthy of praise and flattery!

Had you seen Her...
You'd finely treasure
the Lavishness of Liberty!

Mademoiselle Mysteree...

Lying there, with another
I sought the girl-of-my-early-summer-dream
I kissed her once, twice for gleam
Only to find, she’s not in my reality!

Ah! Mademoiselle Mysteree!
All heavens know that I’m her dreamer
I- who took her for all I saw:
A set of eyes
that sang, sweetly in silken-skies
With luscious-lips,
made for the moon- mild and mellow…
Her sacred breasts-
The curves, in charms for cheered-conquest
All hips and thighs,
each to explore my Ecstasy!

Sitting there, in my reverie
I crave her whisper all day long
(My night) simmered in shivery-song,
yawning for sips of her morning-glee
and to be blessed by Mademoiselle Mysterey!

Standing there, standing still…
Where I met her once in time past
I kiss her once, but never twice
Since she baptized me in her silence
Then, now despised me
just for believing her!

Bumblebee

BUMBLEBEE
YOU OR ME…
Who’ve seen the worse
that Life is so darned short?

BUMBLEBEE,
UNLIKE ME-
Why (in blame) burst
for what is meant to be?

O BUMBLEBEE
MY DARLING- BE!
For, heaven is no distance
for a bee, that spreads its wing!

Upon Thy Golden Hill, Arise(America)!

America
Who made thou free,
thy soil-sublimed,
thy bliss to be?

America
O blessedness!
Fount beyond
thriven-promise...

America
shrined Liberty;
the dream for lost
old sailors'glee

America
of morning- Rise!
Beauty for youth
in pending-skies...

Watching By the Window...

It's raining gods!
A flow of rare colorful gods
Sailors of soil-of-evermore
for last comrades, dreaming the outdoor

It's raining gods
It's raining gods,
the line accross all feigned-glories
their lord's irreversible stories
to remind me that we
were all born to be free

It's raining gods...

To a Forgotten In September...

Last night, her premature redemption
left her wondering, If she ever was one

EVER WAS A WOMAN…
she was, perhaps, before she ever knew
EVER WAS A WOMAN…
she was the one, to her- the fellows flew

Who’s now dreaming- not of her owns,
having to rush that she’d only known
Ghostly misplaced -herself in yesterday,
waving farewell, her matinee…

EVER WAS A WOMAN…
that she was, she hardly had to explain
EVER WAS A WOMAN…
who will forever come again!

If We Must Go...

Moment-so-pure,
ground we pry
Moments that our oneness strides...

Leaping-ages,
stepping replies
The Heel whispered- when we must go

The road is one, as strolling calls
Who's to blame if morrow crawls?
To where the foot'story- begun...

One we must go
to see the End!

As They All Reasoned With Time...

SOME
Through the eye-of-eye
Have seen
Then, soon forget
Where they have been…

SOME
Pride their selves
For where they’ve been-
While others fear
Who’ve never stepped their unmarked-scene

All- reluctant
To time, all in its endless-chime
But, who will ever convince TIME?
