-Dandelion Dream-
I stand close with a fistful of flowers
My tiny bouquet made of dandelion dreams
They fade with one gush from the wind
I stand close with a fistful of flowers
Holding on tight to jagged leaves
Sprinkles of sand fall over my needs
I stand close with a fistful of flowers
My tiny bouquet made of dandelion dreams

death, love,
In autumn’s wind, I look up to the sky.
How sweet the breath of love upon my face!
In rustling leaves, I hear you softly sigh;
in autumns wind, I look up to the sky
and see what time and death cannot erase
In guise of sun’s bright rays, you are nearby!
In autumn’s wind, I look up to the sky.
How sweet the breath of love upon my face!

Where blues and purples dominate,
Pandora beckons from beyond.
Entranced by it, I gravitate
Where blues and purples dominate,
a way of life to celebrate
and with creation, share a bond.
Where blues and purples dominate,
Pandora beckons from beyond.
There stands a tall strong mother tree,
and mountains float upon the sky.
What many wonders you can see!
There stands a tall strong mother tree
inside this forest fantasy;
take hold a huge bright beast and fly!
There stands a tall strong mother tree,
and mountains float upon the sky.
Perhaps one day we’ll understand,
as did the one named Avatar,
to live in peace, stand hand in hand.
Perhaps one day we’ll understand
to say “I see you;” love our land;
no need to leave and travel far!
Perhaps one day we’ll understand
as did the one named Avatar.
Not a strictly romantic movie, but it involves love of nature as well as a romantic part between the leadsAnd I LOVED this movie and its message!

sad love,
You told me simply we were friends
But you conceal your aching heart
My love for you it never ends
You told me simply we were friends
Dreaming of you my heart ascends
Forbidden love keeps us apart
You told me simply we were friends
But you conceal your aching heart

Every time I have you close my dear
This remarkable yearning of you brings me home
The sound of your voice reaches the clouds so far
Every time I have you close my dear
My lips are stilled to me you're like a star
In my heart I evoke your name and just roam
Every time I have you close my dear...
This remarkable yearning of you brings me home
And I am so happy to have your love so far
Every time I have you close my dear
I know that losing you would leave me a scar
And rhymes like before no more would flow
Every time I have you close my dear
This remarkable yearning of you brings me home.

~My Triolet~
(A Double Triolet)
Triolets come in many forms for fun
To try sometimes with them right here my hand
Ten or eight syllables can choose to count
Triolets come in many forms for fun
Ten lines here to write which I just begun
Till one by one in the right place they land
Triolets come in many forms for fun
That goes so well with all I just did plan
Line by line I just follow all the rules
Syllable count is all my own affair
A dare that is all up to me truly
Line by line I just follow all the rules
Then write a triolet that is so cool
Make it dance and make it sing a prayer
Line by line I just follow all the rules
Syllable count is all my own affair.

Could she shatter vows, and is she the one
who’d relinquish everything just for love?
If it meant that all she knew would come undone,
could she shatter vows, and is she the one?
If she knew that those she cared about might shun
her, could she go against her God above?
Could she shatter vows, and is she the one
who’d relinquish everything just for love?

"Then there is no more left but this, that
in our doom the sorrow yet to come shall be no less
than the love we two have already known"
(Words of Heloise to Abelard after her pregnancy)
Like moon on nights of skies un-starred
she lived without her Abelard.
A parched still plain was Heloise -
like moon on nights of skies un-starred.
In death she would not lose regard
for him who’d been her rain and breeze.
Like moon on nights of skies un-starred,
she lived without her Abelard
When Abelard put love away,
with Church he mightily aligned.
The world was not like ours today
when Abelard put love away.
Not even Heloise could say
were she to often cross his mind.
When Abelard put love away,
with Church he mightily aligned.

My Brief Sweet Breath of Yesterday
You stole my breath away that day we met.
As dark clouds burst, you led me by my arm
inside a small café out of the wet,
but I could not escape your rain of charm!
With idle chat, you knew how to disarm
meHow you poured it on! I was a flower
that blossomed from your smile so soft and warm
as there we lingered for more than an hour.
I watched your moving lips and felt their power,
just thinking of them placed upon my own!
Then suddenly my reverie turned sour.
You reached into your wallet; I was shown
a photo of your lovely fiancé.
You were my brief sweet breath of yesterday!
You Were
You were my brief sweet breath of yesterday,
a fresh red rose too beautiful too last,
and I, the fool who let you slip away.
You were my brief sweet breath of yesterday.
Would love have withered had I made you stay?
Through poetry, I resurrect the past.
You were my brief sweet breath of yesterday -
a fresh red rose too beautiful too last.

Should I continue in this quest?

The face that was familiar is no more
Yet in my dreams ,he is alive again
If ,by a chance, his life could be restored
It would affect me like the hidden chord
Which played, my own life force would go.
That one must live and one must die is plain
The face that was familiar is no more.
Yet in my dreams ,he is alive again

Big and Mysterious,

Beating hard on a bike ride
Pulling our family onward
You listen to your earphones.
Besting me, admonishing me
Yet believing in me..Your faith
is Jewish/Buddhist/Christian.
Amused during thrillers
Belittling the monsters I fear
Sarcasm is your weapon.
Breaking stride, you smile
I know what you want
You're my patron.
You're my person.

Placing a kiss upon your cheek
I tip toe softly out of view

Tied with ribbon of pale lilac,

~ You're Very Special ~
( Triolet )
God really cares and loves every man
You're so special to Him in every way
For you He has only the best of plan
God really cares and loves every man
With Him in all we can very tall stand
Praise the Lord for all He does night and day
God really cares and loves every man
You're so special to Him in every way.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
-'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
- Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer
Romans 12: 12 ( NIV )
-The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.'
Exodus 14: 13 ( NIV )
-What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
Matthew 16:26 (NIV)
- HOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR -
STEP 1
God loves you and has a plan for you!
The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16)
Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” — a complete life full of purpose (John 10:10).
STEP 2
Here's the problem: man is sinful and separated from God.
We have all done, thought or said bad things, which the Bible calls “sin.” The Bible says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)
The result of sin is death, spiritual separation from God (Romans 6:23)
The good news?
STEP 3
God sent His Son to die for your sins!
Jesus died in our place so we could have a relationship with God and be with Him forever
“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8)
But it didn’t end with His death on the crossHe rose again and still lives!
“Christ died for our sins… He was buried… He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
Jesus is the only way to GodJesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me” (John 14:6)
STEP 4
Would you like to receive God’s forgiveness?
We can’t earn salvation; we are saved by God’s grace when we have faith in His Son, Jesus ChristAll you have to do is believe you are a sinner, that Christ died for your sins, and ask His forgivenessThen turn from your sins—that’s called repentanceJesus Christ knows you and loves youWhat matters to Him is the attitude of your heart, your honestyWe suggest praying the prayer below to accept Christ as your Savior.
PRAY NOW
"Dear God, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgivenessI believe Jesus Christ is Your SonI believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to lifeI want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forwardGuide my life and help me to do your willI pray this in the name of JesusAmen."
If you have just prayed this prayer, congratulations!
You have received Christ as your Savior and have made the best decision you will ever make—one that will change your life forever!

Broken keys on a piano,

In all desires that my words beseech
Do not annoy thy heart of our affair
And curse thy thoughts when I am out of reach
In all desires that my words beseech
Quarrel not with lovers, or gifts to each
What lovers hath beauty of thy compare?
In all desires that my words beseech
Do not annoy thy heart of our affair
For it is that thy face, an Angel's mask
Brightens my night and gloomy afternoon
And I shall do whatever thou shall ask
For it is that thy face, an Angel's mask
With elegance a well completed task
Holds Nature's craft beyond melodic tune
For it is that thy face, an Angel's mask
Brightens my night and gloomy afternoon
After thy lips commune till death do part
Thou would be Queen and mistress nevermore
Temptress of time shall not tear us apart
After thy lips commune till death do part
Bestride beside my throne precocious heart
Do with whatever that thou dost explore!
After thy lips commune till death do part
Thou would be Queen and mistress nevermore

Our Winter Love
We walk sweetly on the fresh snow,
this sunlit morn all bright and white;
making snowballs as we now go.
We walk sweetly on the fresh snow.
Nature’s snow makes our love now grow!
Our love’s alchemic and so right!
We walk sweetly on the fresh snow,
this sunlit morn all bright and white!
