beauty, song,
Sun brush slow as dawn's light breaks
kiss gently on this heart that wakes
warm up days til night stand guard
when breeze blows brisk and mighty hard
Tap lightly on her peeked cheek this morn
where thoughts of love and life are born
bring forth to her peace and hope
and faith in man from words God spoke
Impart comfort and ease in rays you share
lighten our load on that cross we bare
Rise up high and in blue skies do rest
soothe our souls with loyal hearts abreast
Sun brush slow as dawn's light breaks
Paint with grace 'pon swan still lakes

love, summer,
Beneath a star studded...black velvet sky
I see myself...as I am...in your eyes
Moon beams...abreast...the Bay of Evermore
Where rolling waves come...to break on the shore
Embers still glowing...inflamed once again
Dance to the din...of the Ocean's refrain
Sweat...wood and brine...a scent simply divine
A perfume of passion...misting my mind
You and me on a trip...of ecstasy
In the heat of the night...cooled by a breeze
Where those rolling waves...of emotions...ride
In the wake of a never ending tide
Where the moon and the stars...so high above
Look down...in silence...on our summer love.

peace,
Abreast in tank top
Seeds deflower battle myths
Red lace lingerie
Under shadow of turret
Flowing combat above doubt
Garland of poppies
Sword unsheathed for wild conquest
Guns orange roses
Heavy metal for comfort
White flag intimate cover
Make love and not war
Coronet for a bouquet
Tiara of peace
Sweet surrender in motion
Wreaths for a renegade cause

Love me, love me not. Doves flew; kneeled.
Breaths of flaunting daisies yield.
Across the narrow Irish loch, a leaven
Bed of grassy emerald field;
Bequeath, abreast
the mountain crest,
Beneath daunting, darken gray of heaven.
Love me, Love me not, seven doves shield.

When I ascend into immortal light,
Beloved, gather up red roses laid
upon my grave before dark skies pervade,
then toss abreast our silver stars of night.
Reflected amber softens crimson sight.
Come feel my soulful touch in petals wade.
How lovely does our waters bathe the glade
as blooms transform from bleeding red to white!
This image wafts between my dreams in sleep
of you and I'm caressed eternally
by heaven's floral streams aglow, As you,
awake at dawn with teary eyes drawn deep.
So, promise when I fade externally,
red roses bled from stone shall drift anew.

The Oak Leaf
Tenaciously upon its bough
The wintered, withered leaf
Sustains the Southern wind somehow
Like breakers on a reef.
Each naked limb...a syncopate...
In "New Orleans Rag" time
And time again to abdicate
This clinging from its clime.
Aloft, above, abreast a hive
Of busy buzzing bees...
The taste of honey brings alive
A temporary tease;
But in the distance, thunder shouts
And lightning cracks the skies...
The circ'ling West wind joins the South's
As every leaf mound flies.
Still sticks the withered leaf above
Like honeyed toast...cohesing love.

Endear my soul
I pled for quest
Your fortune lo and behold
I pored for adore abreast
Lacked in notion by the unspoken magna cum laude
I searched for hope, peacefully at rest.
Love thirst for lust
I longed for my desire
Your fortune lo and behold
I last for a threshold to admire
Belie by the vile magna cum laude
I held down so that my mien aspire.
Unholy my pilgrim
I tossed for my solitaire
Your fortune lo and behold
I graced for a mighty meriting layer
Avowed by the chromatic symbiosis magna cum laude
I breathed to my valentine, preached for an eonian prayer.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ENZYME
Have a day move
I need someone
An icebreaker
A breakaway
An inspiration
A morning delight
To a right start.
Foremost, a prayer for His guidance
A Christian living style
After this spiritual igniter
A second thought is a love one
I cannot miss at all
This very thought and feeling of the heart
This someone is YOU I’m talking about.
Without this someone
As if I cannot sustain a day longer
In all my activities YOU is one that bridge
My day from zero figure
To complete fullness
I need a virtual psychological enzyme
The greatest enhancer
To be abreast in this troubled times.

so bashful, the breast
as it sags silently in rest
as it sways
- a motion that preys
on the mind of man
so bold, the breast
with a single hut
across a deep valley cut
to another
- a hat on a beach
of softest sand
- a silky land
creamy smooth
and quite aloof
holding its head up high
as wanton fingers reach to pry
so silly, the breast
a mere structure
- a perfect appendage
- a factory, a tool
that shaped nations, history, fate
with man but the fool

The meal I require tonight
Will satisfy my appetite
As she lies on the table
Oh boy am I able
To relish in her sweet delights
First her curvaceous curves
Enjoyable for any serve
Taken abreast
How my heart requests
So pert in tasteful observe
Her sweetness is sure to follow
Like a bear in honey I wallow
Then like a lion I roar
As I head back for more
Sugary just like a marshmallow
My love has a craving to share
For into my eyes she does stare
She says "Hun are you able"
It's your turn on the table
I have teeth so you better beware

Healthy self-love
Is a birthright divinely designed
To starve the lower self
The lower self
Is at the center of the world
The higher self
Is a vehicle into the world
The first is about material things
The second is about ultimate longings
Their difference is overwhelming.
Healthy self-love
Is the smoothest road
To the depth inside
To the Milky High
To the power of the powerful
To the untapped power
Of the powerless
Powerfulness
Powerlessness
Abreast
From the same hidden breast.

angel, god,
Through unfinished steps the Son of God goes
towards chimed glory;love has set His seal.
An endeavor abreast paternal grows,
blindly bestows complete fervour, and zeal.
Bequeathing sun streamed through the blinds and drenched
the thirsty through His breath rite of baptism.
Flourished such love, such rapture, its strings quenched
closely weaved, which thus balance and holism.
Archangel had come down dressed in daylight,
folded wings, ethereal grace, and smile,
wisps of gold sunlight, and full moon twilight
immersed in steal life leaded-stained glass tile.
Boundless mercy of God; His arms around,
to all inherit white rose garden ground.

death, fear, happiness, romance, sea,
Beneath the ocean, below what we know
lies a word most souls never see.
those who dare travel to that depth
Discover passion abreast true despair.
Above the surface our bearings hold fast,
the way home can always be seen.
Fore far beneath the calm we show
love rages and it's jaws won't release.
Loves first real gaze hinders all time and space
all things lost appear to be found
One moment, love seems like the glue
till the chaos changes all we perceive.

rain,
Strobes peek in through curtains drawn,
The pulsing lights of twelve past dawn,
Moon's gone fishing behind indigo cloud,
Dragging moaning fogs in August shroud,
Sobbing woes to concrete unforgiving,
Still providing for all that's living,
So is it sadness that here ends drought,
Or only kindness though given in doubt?
I am merely but one breath on evening rest,
At most a heartbeat chiming thunder abreast,
And only gazing in lights rendered skies,
From my grasp of insanity this night pries,
I'll give my life my love my sleep,
If only this recluse serene air to keep,
I'll let shuddered tears come wash away,
The woes and troubles of mid-summers day.

bereavement, conflict, love,
As he lay withdrawn and somber
I gaze in fear, I cannot suppress.
Knowing not where his shattered stream will flow
mid wings of ancestral trees;
ripples near heaven's reach.
Oh, my love I don't want to leave your arms.
Shadow hovers abreast dressed in a shroud
without absence of compassion or grace
reaching the stretch above unbroken cloud.
Moments of sorrow
in rage trampled fear and grave.
I will endeavor.
I feel your warmth beside me
you made me very happy.

appreciation, care, caregiving, childhood, children, destiny, miracle,
A heart-shaped clover forever stamped in my heart
The meeting of two souls that knew from the start
An excitement of knowing that sparked a forever bond
The day the Universe waved her magic wand
A maternal soul who saw my light
A nurturing hand on my shoulder that gave me the will to fight
From that day forward I knew we were blessed
Two souls on a path to walk forever abreast
The wheels of her love endlessly spinning
Has given me the gift of a new beginning

cry, for him, love, love hurts,
He could have stopped
at his introduction.
Come to me
at midnight.
Brushed my head
with his hand.
As I dreamed about,
our love affair.
Lifted my head
on his chest.
As he breathed,
abreast of
Our Life.
Daniel.
Daniel do go
on with your life.
Can't you see
I'm damaged.
Don't go on.

freedom, love,
Long, how the warm winds blow
Entwined in rich almond tusks
Goodness sets her gaze
Nuzzled amongst the cherry blossom
And early morning's blaze
Known, a free flown falcon
Rising without the clouds
Abreast to the horizon's
Daring red feathered chest
Yearn and I shall yearn
Melt, for fierce passions burn

lost love,
Amidst the doom days...Of her passing...
Mourns rivalry....Against wind scornfulness...
Swept abreast... Fields shedding weep...
No longer could the drums beat loud enough..
To silken ~ The grave face of sudden lost..
Whilst no longer... Did the future shed meaning..
Nor did the present or past ~ Serve sense...

absence, autumn, beauty, loneliness, loss, lost love, love,
So spake it benighted and call it sad
For thy dulcet dreams man never had
With dreams ephemeral and longings eternal
What pain doth bring if spring's art vernal?
Longing for the river in love's wishing rove
Dancing light shimmers abreast a kissing clove
Happiness shan't part nor need feign
Prithee thy heart heft; bereft of pain
For the kisses in dew and her heart is thine
The blossoms are beau when our lips entwine

Where is beauty found
Hark, upon hills lofty heights

Hark, for I have tasted the whispering wind
where nirvana rests at my side
immersed with dreams aflutter
abreast on the winter wind of song
my eyes gaze in marvelous wonder
as my soul sings along

love, universe,
I have never loved as this before, and I shall never love, nor ever more
The very moment I looked at you, my heart did skip a beat or two
I know you love, as I love you, always and forever our love be true
Come soar with me and fly on high, above the clouds, into the sky
Into the Heavens, up in the blue, you be with me, I be with you
Our wings will touch, we'll fly abreast, to unknown things, this be our quest
Our search for truth, the universe, search for knowledge, quench our thirst
A vast and furious field we're in, sometimes a void, the line so thin
This be our calling, we should do, but first I pledge my love to you

love,
no choice
it lingers
seduced
breath of ether
arisen from ripples
upon our pond
what will nor will
weather nor wither
whether
you walk closer
or run away
to feel
this way or that
the aches
whispers
within your echo
reverberation
abreast
my carcass
masticated
undressed
left of rib
beating
where once one has broken
now stolen
swole
an escape
in summer fields of lilac
or lily
lost lying languid and in love
grooved with tongue
and tooth
forever
long
