L'Amour

Evening smiles at lovers 
Whispering sentiments
Above the sparking
Waters of Venice.

	I long for you..

Cathedrals recall
Clandestine kisses,
Moments spent lingering
Underneath its entwined castles.

	If you wait...

Amber leaves swirl
Leaving vivid afternoons
Alive with romance and 
Warm laughter. 

	..Someday, I will come 

Passionate sunsets 
Illuminate a thousand 
Smiles 
Treasured 
As the rarest jewels. 

	To tell you that...

Slow dancing in the
Rain,
Brings
A promise 
Of
Forever.

	--I love you.

		Cherie

Eve of Winter

Frozen enchantress
Of beauty untold
Sought for 
The glacial summer.

Soul withdrawn 
By painful slumber.
Eyes of silence,
Cold lips of fury.

Auspice of death
Cast
The twisted tongue 
Of water.

The vile plunging
Of raging sleep
Left dreams
Of sweet revenge.

So ends 
The immortal with life
As it closed its eyes 
For eternity.

Bewitchment of Poseidon

How sweet the sound of raging sea!
Long has peace reigned so devoted,
But has it thought of wicked treachery? 
Nay, it had never plotted retribution!

Be that as it may,
I, the goddess of the deep,
Utter these very words of incantation
To suppress the fury that curses my veins!

May the vicious wind kiss the sky,
As rain pours down with shattered glass.
Let waves of thunder lacerate merciless boulders.
If confusion withers the depths of tranquility,

So let it be!

Trinket

Trinket
Glass bells
Sweet tinkle plays
Wistful sparkle of joy
Teardrops.

A Visit

Sepulchral shadows
Like gargoyles laughing madly
Haunt the painted walls.

Delight

Little children play,
By the seaside, by the shore,
By the sandy coast.

Reverie

The calm ocean mist
Upon the tranquil water
Coaxing quiescence.

Lady of the Moon

Exquisite beauty
Wrought in pearls and fine silver
Bathing in soft light.

Night Life

Nights in Chicago
Bright lights glaring in the dark
Staring all night long.

Radiance

Golden memories
Of happy thoughts and sunbeams
Surround the blissful.
