love,
Love is the cacophony of life,
the stillness of your lover’s breath in sleep,
the boa constrictor hug of a grandchild,
and the outstretched arms of Christ.

baseball, beautiful, confidence, dance, happiness, image,
Here on the dance floor ready to begin.
My turquoise sequined gown
just meets my shin.
I love the feathered boa that
encircles my neck.
I look as stunning and bright as
moonlight on a ships deck.
And you, yes, you my Prince of Dance,
so divine.
With lifted, chin, suave hair,long tailed
tuxedo and on your back, number nine.
We will do each step, swirl with touching,
utmost, regal elegance.
And after we win the trophy, we happily
shall indulge in divine decadence.

me, me,
Black Feather Boa
Your cosmic love
Encircles me like a
Soft black
Feather boa.
Draping around
My bare body,
As I sleep taking me
To the highest plateau.
Your silky boa feathers
Tickle me between my toes
Causing me to open up
My rose hips to you
Like a blooming rose.
Your hot juices
Quench my parched
Tongue and leaving me
Blushed and happy.
Ready to run
Off towards the
Apricot setting sun
With you,
Where you keep
Your black feather
Boa of love.

life, philosophy, social,
Hands to lovingly hold
Holding back
Comforting, yet
Boa constricting
Loudly wrapped, into
Strangled silence
Declarations of love
Concealing muted anger
Mother of my dreams
Warden of my nightmares
Protected by your spirit
Smothered by its dominance
Momma's boy
...Emasculated

introspection, life, nature, giving,
Bask in the light
Linger in the shadows
Dig
Earthworms are good and
Slugs are bad
If you’re a gardener, that is
If you’re a bird it doesn’t make a difference
Children love rolly pollies
Some spiders and snakes bite
Most don’t
Daddy long legs don’t
Neither do boa constrictors
But they hug too hard
If you think giving up cigarettes
Or chocolate
Or television’s hard
Try giving up suffering
Now THAT'S an addiction!

home, love, together,
Enclave or enormous but pretty king mask
Brick per brick Rome's whack on an iron task
A shield to that tactful lions roar
His safe I'm saved from an odious boa
En masse we feed and stucked with 'cheese'!
On a flax we seat, soft like a fleece
See many at our domain, our blue means love
Cheers and welcoming we did, pure like a dove
Fierce sharks and hawks out like safari park
En bloc we sleep, no careless peep to the dark
Nevertheless, they horse around, we're free from attack
Relief, wow to our mask for the shield attach.

joy, life,
My muse teases me, but I ignore her
She is in one of those joyful moods
That does not fit in well with my irritation
I am determined to hold on to anger a bit longer
Dragons, unicorns, fairies and witches she blubbers.
She is being playful and silly, but it is not where I am going.
Not today; today is my bad mad, angry, sad, mean day
Until I see my grandchild Max. He is six and a complete love bug.
He comes running in and twists his body around me like a feathered boa.
A smile as big as the house comes out of my face. Every thought is terrific now.
My muse tries to join in the fun, but it is not the time.
I am in grandma mode.
Poems can wait.

analogy, feelings, for her, i love you,
I called her heart she wasn't there
There was no answer anywhere
The lease to say I walked away
Homeward bound
In my soul I am amazed
As my eyes are tear glazed
She was sweet yet hard to greet
With an attitude that was as tight as a squeeze
of a boa constrictor
Does my heart miss her
I think not
She had a non answering heart she just wasn't there
Mine feelings broke, I'm hurt northern one of us cares

angel, appreciation, courage, trust,
How can a man not be grateful for his life?
Seriously...
For me, i am grateful
I live in a beautiful land
I have two sons that I love very much
I have a woman, My wife, that supports my dreams
I found a new career
I am now a Professor!
I left the law behind because it killed my soul
I have family
Life is challenging but it continues to provide
I am just Paul
Living life
I continue to win with the help of my God
And my trust
Boa noite mundo e meu amigos!!!
