devotion,
(Dedication: For Ann, with love.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grow old with me my dear,
Only the classics lasts;
Live zesty gifts of cheer,
Delight outlasts the past;
Enjoy wise rapture fine,
Nurture those lovely smiles.
Roar in-between the lines,
Abide in sanguine style.
Meet precious moments sound.
Touch a deep inner light,
Intuit sweet grace that grounds,
Mind and heart know sure sights;
Etch our love affair here,
See pure joy transcend years.

10th grade, 11th grade, 9th grade, angst, anxiety, feelings, imagery,
He's a scared, shivering, sad and lonely soul,
today's version of a disposable man.
Panhandling on cold city streets takes its toll,
and he's devolved into a human trash can.
Ostracized, he's stripped of any chance he had
of finding love or of becoming a dad.
And yet, his heart still harbors the forlorn hope
that someday fate might yet change his horoscope.

Various hill+ village villas in Florence Italy
Proud happy Frescos exude confidence
Tasteful table set Floral arrangement
Gleaming hardwood floors Gardens
You look terrific, Babe, how are you
He's pretty lucky to have you !
What a lovely bouquet. Thankyou
Living room , kitchen , verandah
Scruptious... is that outfit new ?
That girl has a fine eye for detail
Italy was absolutely wonderful
The Zodiac monthly starsigns
Chinese horoscope birth signs
Would you join us dear?Certainly.
We are very fond of you..... Kiss kiss

confusion,
Yes, I love you
How do you feel
That I am your automaton
And it is your worship
If I kneel
I know love
By the cruelty of the cross
And not one i.o.u in the mail
Yet I thing of it
And know I failed
In my belief
For did they too
not even think
How was God to die
And if he did
How could we live
Without him again
Calvary
Is not a place alone
It is all the memories
Of jasmines
Balming my fears
With perennial predictions
Of easter's horoscope

STAR-CROSSED
The date - was the eighteenth
The month - it was May
The year - nineteen-sixty
The time - was mid-May
The boy - tall and handsome
The girl - quite petite
The horoscope - hopeful
The prediction - they’ll meet
The weather - quite sunny
The outlook - was better
The plot - he would seek her
The climax - he’d get her
The end - wasn’t like that
The love - couldn’t grow
The girl’s name - was Juliet
The boy’s name - Romeo
