humorous, life, love, romance,
Double oh Sevens
The gamble of dangerous men
Poets who carry guns
To shoot out the hearts
Of unsuspecting ladies
A single word, a bullet
That can wound or kill the love
Of any careless romance
Yet they fall at the feet
Of mystery and sweet words
And later in the evening
Tears flow from ladies of sadness
Left alone among the sheets of love
The Spy, he could save the world
Yet save not one single love
He grew old and alone
His last thought among the living
I die a lover, and never felt love

funny, girlfriend-boyfriend, loveme,
I wanted something bubbly
Coke with ice cream trick
That fridge, again, empty
So I made my trip to Kwik
Swerving around this town in my horses
Parking up by the front door
No training could have prepared me for
What waited inside the store
Standing with her 2-liter of Diet 7-Up
If I just died, keep me here on heaven
I asked above not be taken so abruptly
Feeling luckier than sevens or elevens
Now she says that this place
Is wherever we stand here
Desiring her within my space
Needing her crystal clear
That gentleness of her touch
As we let go while giving in
When love has got its clutch
In times we are skin to skin

joy, weather, wedding,
on our wedding day
huge dark clouds won’t bring me down
I’m simply walking on air
my large umbrella
stops my tresses getting wet
let the love rain down on me

Sweet Release In The Desert
Water splashing mightily into hungry eager soil.
Desert people see clear sign from the heavens
Sweet relief from day to day, dry and sandy toil
Carried out in a horrible year full of severe sevens!
Praise thee! For what reward was this flood sent?
Perhaps a life saved, a dear sweet child born
Or the crying and stored love that was spent
On magical dawning of this blessed new morn!
Above, white clouds show image of an angel singing
Cool winds now wash over thirsty tribe below
Now vanished, huge tears and sad hand wringing
For this miracle was, as great as Christmas snow!

confusion
Somewhere decorum, somewhere pandemonium
Somewhere parsimony, somewhere bleeding heart
Somewhere love, somewhere hatred
Somewhere revenge, somewhere forgiveness
Somewhere bondage, somewhere liberty
Somewhere eccentricity, somewhere selflessness
Somewhere egoism, somewhere humility
Somewhere complexities, somewhere simplicity
Which ones to permit the soul?
To acclimatise and dominate
Life keeps changing every spur
Discrepancies are inevitable
To be water or a rock?
Will it attain a pool of boundless solitude?

happiness, love, passion,
I saw her beauty standing there
In her cherry brick made house..
Strolling up as asking for a light
Arranging my blouse amid hope
She might like, what she finds ?
Thirty-sevens adjusting my skirt
Swaying my hips wetting my lips.

life, love,
Comfort and bright light
Never shading the obscure
Blind to love awakening
Listening to truth
Keeping my eyes on over
Being concerned with brightness

introspection, love,
I have bared it time and again
with the innocence of a child,
and showed you all my grief and pain
a bleeding heart that smiles,
now show me once your concealed heart
to find what lies there
fragments of this numb heart,do you still share.

loss, love, sorrow,
My true loves asleep
Beneath a blanket of clouds
And I but his lullaby
Dancing a lament
Raining tears of sorrows grief
Lightly I float by your grave

One light
in the universe of stars.
One grain
from the sands of endless time.
By name
He knows the fruit of what you are.
A single droplet
in an ocean full of rhyme.
By the numbers
you are one with Him above.
By the sevens
He reveals what is to come.
Through your faith
He fills the spirit with His love.
By your name
He knows each day, what shall be done.
In His garden
you are the flower that blooms with season
To bring you life,
by sacrifice, is why he came
And with His pardon,
He forgives without a reason.
He is the change in who you are...
He knows your name.
