life, love, romanceme, me,
Warm summer sun and dappled shade,
long, ice-cool drinks of lemonade,
relax your head upon my knee
… lie with me ‘neath the lilac tree.
Rich fragrances suffuse the air,
light breezes sift through tousled hair
‘midst music from the honey bee
… lie with me ‘neath the lilac tree.
Exquisite touch of fingertips,
young innocence joins satin lips;
just let your heart’s desire run free
… lie with me ‘neath the lilac tree.
Too soon we’ll see that youth can’t last,
such times as these will be our past,
but when from life our souls must flee
…lie with me ‘neath the lilac tree

devotion, inspirational, love,
How is it that thy strokes amuse!
A lover’s canvas burning ooze
and to all else you do confuse,
Except to us, a playful ruse.
Behind your lips I shall peruse
a blazing sun of thickened hues
Among your shades of reds and blues,
your splattered kiss I can’t refuse.
I pray that we may never lose
such swirled emotions that suffuse
Beyond shadows of scared excuse,
I remain devoted muse.

love,
Moon darkness falls on the streets of muse,
Its royal veil of lilac amorous hues.
Drawn to submissive embrace wind-tee base
Love weave lacey quintessence grace.
Flaxen way paves a world that swaddles me,
Poised a wide tide to guide the love of thee.
Suffuse in rolling mirth, night passionate dreams
Etched in memory silken honey beams.
Dry crimson leaves fumble as moonlight dance
Beneath calm of trees as we're lost in blushing trance.
Drifting off in the depth of flowering cherry tree
Finding warmth in forgotten summer beauty of love's glee.
Wind puffs its lips tussle autumn initiative
Leaves awakening us from our melodic recitative.

absence, lost love,
Crimson red sailor's sky too soon devoured,
shadowed contemplative horizon set,
brush faded on concrete gravestone flowered.
promises denied from a lover's debt,
Rapture forever, wind gale staggered free,
breathe lithe love back across this distant span
salt foam tossing in humbled majesty
edging in shallow sands, a rhythmic stand.
Once sent furtive dreams, kisses in each crest
pounded surf, nonchalant waves kinetic,
whales whistling, anguished from their very breast,
vestige song, purest love lost ascetic.
Suffuse me back out to the raging seas
no longer is there a reason to be.

The last rays of the setting sun
Suffuse the western sky
With a rosy glow so splendid
It warms my solitude.
Fingers of the varying colors
Spread to the north and south
As if the doors of Paradise
Have opened for preview.
The evenings when Heaven’s paint jars fall
And spill their precious hues,
I glimpse the Eternity of God
And magnitude of His love.

life, lost love, me, sad,
Without you in my life Oh again and again
Like fish out of water my heart is having pain
I am keen to go out of your sight so very much
But fate brings me to you and doesn’t let me touch
I try to forget you but you are like glue
That sticks on my soul so I can’t forget you
My eyes suffuse with tears every now and then
When I think you are the ink and I am a pen

My mood was rhapsodic
And suffuse with spiritual love
A matrix of redolent being
Centered in my inner self grace
Exuding light and love throughout the human race.
In tranquility I hear the susurration in my ear
Beckoning me to reach for the zenith
Of conscious borne and created mindset
Enticing me to face my greatest tests
Leaving behind all traces of any of my anger
That grew out of loss and pain
But here I stand rejuvenated again
High upon spiritual enlightened plains.

i am, joy,
Ethereal bliss mists suffuse my form ~
I surrender, swept away in this storm
I claim Holy Spirit as my true Self ~
As I walk, the path appears by itself
As I be to become, with pure love one ~
Heart radiates light of the central sun
Oh worthy hermit, simply pause the cause ~
Melding with silence, obeying God’s laws

blessing, innocence, joy, spiritual,
I raised my hand and said ‘it is enough’
For far too long I have been traumatised
No longer welcome are thoughts crass and rough
I refuse to live a life compromised
With thoughts rested, ego cravings are slain
Habit patterns of old too fade away
Living in the now, I’m a child again
To the rhythm of my soul, I gently sway
I drive but without a rear view mirror
Spontaneity is my middle name
Life is what it is, the truth is clearer
Give it any name but I’m not the same
Bliss mists suffuse form as magic of love ~
Dewdrops of God’s grace pour in from above
