lost love,
I wrote verse on the wings of a lark
romantic phrases in perfect rhyme
but the lark flew away in the dark
I wrote no further for the longest time
A lone blue jay landed upon my lawn
I wrote sweet prose on his sapphire wings
He spent the night with me, but at dawn
the jay flew away and no longer sings
I answered the call of a beautiful raven
I wrote love sonnets on his ebony wings
He stayed for years in my safe haven
I was one of the raven's castoff things
I no longer trust those who take flight
I lost them all and my torn heart bled
On restless wings I'll never again write
of love that leaves me alone in my bed

bird, day, dream, love, remember, sky, today,
Now you have gone away,
I have not much to say.
Remembering sitting on the bay,
even when the big clouds were gray.
I know you could not stay,
what I would give for one more day.
You went on your way,
no more running at play.
When silence speaks through a singing blue jay,
all I can do is now pray.

love,
In a secluded tidy sandy bay
In the delightful month of May
My love and I spent a whole day.
I had to show without delay
And thus, my feelings would convey
That my love was not hearsay.
I gave her a lovely bouquet,
With a red rose, a fragrant spray,
Bubbly champagne for her birthday,
Delicacies I had to pay
And fruit we ate without delay.
Celebrate her fine soul so gay.
Pure happiness for us that day.
How we kissed and sang, mere child's play.
Ran across the sand, a mock fray.
Admired the flight of a lone jay,
We rested under the sun's ray,
Then plunged into the sea to stay
Until crimson evening we'll lay.
Time up but happy for the day,
Retired to our rented chalet.

Glacial ice melting
The climate suddenly changes
Old relationships.
When the blue jay sings
Listen how wide it ranges
The boundary of spring.
After rain rainbow
Thunder makes the coastland smile
Faith provides the oil.
So I map landscapes
With audacity to see
Change, a boomerang.
I search through petals
To find a woman's soft heart
Felt a bumbled sting
No bridge left to cross
Love drowns everything in tears
So the cuckoo sings

devotion
To speak a name ...
most Beneficient, most Glorious,
the All-Wise or to This
from whence I came:
No words have I to say
for love lies between us, unspoken.
How to speak of hope if
I turn away from the downtrodden,
how to ask for forgiveness
as my hands kill in Your names ...
so many names ...
how to say thank you for all
as I hoard wealth and
how empty are promises
as children starve?
No, I have nothing to say
as I listen to the cooing of a dove
or the cacaphony of a blue jay
and laugh with You.

emotions, love,
I have known you for all eternity,
Together we’ve travelled on this journey.
Through time and space I’ve seen every face,
As beautiful as bearing your soul in place.
Your eyes look through me in your special way,
Finally I have found you on this day.
You’re the love that completes me as I you,
Never have I felt the way that I do.
We shall always have each other I pray,
To hold in the light, to the gods I say.
Such is the way of lovers so I’m told,
My yin to my yang, my warmth to my cold.
For you, Blue Jay, I would do anything,
You’re the sound in my soul that makes me sing.

love, spiritual,
As egregious as this world may be,
In the crevices and folds search and
You will see.
Magical moments can be captured by you,
And embraced by me.
Let your spirit wander being free,
Losing your fears and shine, because
Without darkness there is no light.
And it is within this darkness
We learn our might.
Walk with me, as together we’re strong
In each other’s sight.
Entwined as one we shall become,
Like an eclipse of the moon and sun.
Beyond these earthly delights a
Spiritual bond.
A collaboration with Blue Jay.

love,
She was covered in messy hair
and wore such manic eyes.
Though she was complicated,
she offered me perfection.
She knew not self-control
or aided in anything worthwhile,
but her voice resounded in an
aria of a tune even a Blue Jay
couldn’t comprehend.
She lived a life on the edge,
no rhyme to her reason and
no reason for her mistakes.
Though she was difficult to
say the least, she was flawless
in my arms.
It was clear she inhabited a
perplex mind. Though she was
intricate to the world, she owned
a simple heart. A woman with
arduous passion for me.

I love when the hot summer days melt away,
autumn will be here real soon.
A change is coming says the big blue jay,
I can see it in the moon.
Days are now getting shorter,
as the days play hide-in-seek.
The moon told about it the last quarter,
this is the cooling off week.
Pretty colors are everywhere,
I love seeing yellow, orange and red.
The falling leaves have a real flair,
picking them up is a real dread.
Autumn I love the cooler days and nights,
you bring wonderful new delights.

I love a good rhythimic beat
I can imitate a drum with the pounding of my feet
Whether it's rock & roll or rap
A stadium amp or a backwards cap
Any type of music makes me get out of my seat

The Apple PASTURE
Oh how I long
To drift into the apple pasture.
Were once was and all well meet.
A pure and dear site.
Where silver reflection cover the still waters that holds the golden
grains of morality and the grazing souls lie young amounce no stars.
Oh how I long
To drift into the apple pasture
Were winds smell of melon and the trees whisper spring corals in the mellow dark and best of light and time creeps into no tomorrow.

A son, a brother, a friend and a lover,
A brother of Richard, Jay-Ar and Ralph,
A lover of love, wealth and hardworks,
Who feels afraid, desolate and helpless,
Who fears death, blood and demonic sins,
Who would like to see you,"heaven and earth",

CHANGES
The day begins with promises,
from the east as the sun rises,
it has hope that to all it carries,
lighting our way from bitterness,
that we wish to leave with yesterday.
The promise to shine away the pain,
bring smiles and joy to its prey
that it feeds from everyday.
Then the wind changes its direction,
twisting smiles into smirks,
clouds try to get each other’s attention,
light shines from the grey sky,
threatening to take life by a flash.
Then the blue hides under grey,
then small drops of tears of the sky.
That is how love passes by.

Dedicated To My Sweet Baby Boy Companion, Raja
(Raja is pronounced Rah-jay)
More than a pet, Raja is special kin
My cat fills my heart with blessed joy
His luxurious fur is a cuddly skin
More than a pet, Raja is special kin
As my steady constant pal, he gains my grin
My feelings happily sigh for my sweet boy
More than a pet, Raja is special kin
My cat fills my heart with blessed joy

Black LOVE
My head rested
on the pillow of her smooth skin.
She opened the curtains of her being,
My hands slip into indulgence while
they explored her expansive dark skin.
With half words she whispered moans,
followed by screams of passion.
With her shadow I bounded, as she
swarmed waters of our endless longing passed.

faithautumn, thanksgiving,
A day of autumn beauty,
Beautiful in every way,
Canada is a land blessed,
Dance of the leaves, when the wind blows,
Each person thankful for Thanksgiving reunions,
Free to celebrate and be together,
Goodness given to us by the Lord,
Houses and apartments warmed and comfortable,
I like being there, at home,
Jay the beautiful bluebird that sits in the pine tree,
Kindness everywhere, a land to be proud,
Love and friendship prevails with every good neighbor,
Miracle, God's blessing,
New faith and days of worship at church,
October days and nights, the fading of summer,
Parents and children gather for Thansgiving at church and house.

MY WIFE
Every night I close my eyes,
every night I dose at stars,
see the beauty that never dies,
dream of her brown eyes
that light my days of happiness
hear her voice that cheers sadness
listen close to her words of encouragement
promising me my whole life’s entertainment,
but I wake up every morning grumpy,
sad that the day is longer than the night
in which she exist and shines bright,
brighter than the spot light,
that i use to see the smile in my heart
and all i see is sad nights when i don’t dream that.

lost love
I wished to own some things someday
To bring them home and call my own
The trees have grown without a care
To where their seeds have up and flown
Oceans ebb and rainbows arch
These things I gather turn to dust
The Blue Jay flies not knowing why
The birds he mimics, resent my lies
And as my world spins through the stars
One thing I need-
My truth
Dare say
My love for you
Seems
Far
Away

Feelings
How you make me feel
I feel no pain
Your laugh makes me smile
Your voice gives me butterflies
I know it's not hate
It's not I like and it's to early to say love
Yet the reality of you is better than a dream

bird, lonely, love,
Songbird in my front yard
feeding on seed I've thrown
I can see you
because I have become
part of the silence...
Each day I learn from you
as the fish learn from the sea
the Sparrow and the Blue Jay
learn from the wide open sky..
Mockingbird I am lonely today
chant your melancholy in the still air
call for your lost lover
making the stars smile
and your mate to sing back..
Tonight I will chant for my lover
as I look for her in distant stars
perhaps they are all just nests
of celestial invisible birds...

care,
The mourning dove visits daily, comes for her noontime meal. This sweet-faced bird also has the sweetest song, a haunting melody. But what is most endearing is her politesse, her courtesy, her hanging back, while others eat ahead. She doesn't "push or shove," nor does she intimidate, as the blue jay does, or seems to at any rate; she waits and, for that, and for what it is worth, the mourning dove has drawn from this bird-loving bird-feeder an abiding love.

Move thy feet to me
Let us dance to the rhythm of our hearts;
Go to the oblivion cold spring of guilty roads and selfish love.
And drink the cup of our undying passion;
Could this be our last dance?
For our hearts know the reasons why.. for the second chance;
Before the phantom of dishonest morning dies:
Come! be with me my Poseidon..
Listen to the unheard melodies of the blue Jay;
A mind can forget, though it's questioning..
And a heart can remember, despite it's aching.
Weep must not we for sunset,
And have the Last dance!
