Dancing with the sunbeams deep sea reflections
so beautiful adoring on cloud nine sitting pretty
upon golden sands shifting salt of the ocean turns
Each wave a blessing in disguise
standing regal one moment in time
looking back captivating starlight was born
Mirrors mist over arched jewels colour radiance
fixing thoughts on an image beholding your word
no diamond ever cut comes close to you

Hotly breathing upon the heartbeats murmur
where a thousand doves warmly flutters inwardly
taking one's breath away beyond breathless chants
Golden miracle of the sun born deeply soft crowning jewels
dewdrops within the night's reflection sparkle glisten
where a moon leaves the loving imprint behind timeless
Wings marveling land adoring the haloed vision framed beholding
oceans whisper softly across the tides moving sands
each little step up brings us slightly closer to heaven

Into the twilight of night falling bewildered reflections
blowing within clouds form a grey question turning tides
passing winds whisper voices of one's soul form mirrored images
Whispering currents speak through the oceans wave bellow
faraway destiny cries with the seagulls echo through time
The caves unwrap lustre held between shells singing melodies
Footprints will remain always salted love verses hate struggles
each takes a step forward silently the bells chime midnight
under a chandelier of roses forever dances within misted moonlight

i miss you, lost love,
I wonder why on winter night so cold
as darkness looms and daylight takes her bow
that I am feeling loneliness take hold.
I wonder what it is she’s doing now;
perhaps she’s letting poetry console
emotions that her life does not allow.
I wonder why I feel I’ve lost control
and wishing that forever I could flee
these torrid storms that start to fill my soul.
I wonder if she ever thinks of me
and wishes we could make a brand new start;
or if, from love, she’s happy to be free.
My storms are raging since we’ve been apart;
I wonder if it’s raining in her heart.

An iridescent sapphire cuts into the night’s sky clearly
a gift unasked for and predestined appears solidity
love is the luster smelted inside the eastern chambers afar
Hooked upon the waxing moon’s burgeoning smile that shines
mesmerizing silver shadows dance under your bloodstained beams
beckoning freedom in an heavenly escape reflects back unconditionally
A tantalising call nurtured on the precarious wind surrounds the soul
shaded Sacred Heart images dance beckoning inside chorographic unison
never imagined acceptance of grace awaits in your tender loving embrace

introspection, people, social,
two bible-blabbering, prattling pastors
from two denominational sectors
ended up in stitches and bloody plasters;
those around said it actually began
when one yelled, "faith alone can save a man!",
the other screamed, "only charitable acts can!";
swinging bulky bibles, shouting curses,
they whacked each other's eardrums and noses,
bludgeoned and bloodied their righteous faces;
so ironic, how they maimed each other
for faith, for charity and didn't bother
to heed the Lord's words: "Love one another."

god, jesus, joy,
Christ, the Lord of all tomorrows
Lived a holy life of true worth
Died for me, the Man of sorrows
Angels proclaimed His virgin birth
The wise men came in faith to see
Messiah, king of all the earth
His love was shown on Calvary
When He paid the penance for sin
He cried and died for you and me
This woebegone world we live in
We need His all-sufficient grace
The wiles of the devil to win
The hope of His return we face
Giving us joy none can replace.

Circle of trust wealth held in its reign
is the moon shining with you
as it silver sparkles tonight inside thoughts
I will blow a kiss golden melting
over oceans wide washed into her pearly white beam
in the hope it kisses the dream
In the morning with golden sun rays
a shining treasure forever glistens
each one warmed by your beauty
Dewdrops are the stars clustered
weeping silver precious dawning daylight
the sunbeams forever smiling on you

In sweet tenderness sweeping inside echoes moans turn tides
the sun warmly whispers joy your a pleasant delight
touching softly amber with your finger rays runs deep
Wind caressing the brow speaks within gentle love chains pearl drops fall
looking into distant clouds heart murmurs beat faster skipping
silver to white puffy grey smoking sighs surrender sweetly
Magic smiling gently in the blue Heaven's a golden signal beams
larks singing merrily an enchanting tune holds captivating the air
in a circle of light honey, it's softly held on the warm glow upon your face

memory,
When love becomes a masochistic moth
That yearns to feel the heat of passion's flame,
It chews a hole through sheets of ardour's cloth.
Its wings ignite, too close to blazing shame;
They glow at first with fervour as they feign
A beauty that becomes a painful game.
The tears can't quell the heat or halt the pain.
They fall to feed the weeds of sprouting dread
And drench the heart with beads of acid rain.
But rest assured that time will smooth and spread
The memories into the shrouded past
And stitch the lesions with a healing thread.
The day will come when joy will blink awake
To leach the sorrow from that phantom ache.

seasons,
The garden bursting with the green of spring
Each bud and leaf have promises to keep
New life this emerging season brings
In summer the warmth soaks elbow deep
The fish jump high and living is sweet
Full of summer love we drift to sleep
Now fall colors go dancing round our feet
Days of harvest before we watch geese fly
With some regret the waning days we greet
Winter arrives, with frosty breath it sighs
Thoughts turn inward, days pass one by one
WE hear music of the north wind's lonesome cry
Then at last another year is closed and done
and we greet the rise of a springtime sun

Reflections carried under intoxicating incandescent lights

We thought we were strong
Something happened to change that.
We simply were wrong.
Angel with magical cat
Sent us unexpected love
We were truly glad of that
Sensing they came from above
The love they brought was honest and true,
Unconditional joy, practically unheard of.
They returned to heaven, when they were due.
Inspired unity first, brought us together as one.
They had converted us, stronger and true.
Thanks to a lot of teamwork and a bit of fun,
All of us together, much stronger as one.

desire, kiss, love, nostalgia,
To taste your kiss just one more time,
and feel the fire of long ago
that fueled the rhythm and the rhyme
of poetry in love’s sweet glow
beneath the moon on summer nights,
that only love struck lovers know.
And in the shadows, dim of lights,
to once again feel your embrace
that lifts me up to higher heights
and takes me to another place
with fantasies becoming real
beneath the veil of midnight’s lace.
These tender thoughts which I reveal
are showing passion’s paradigm.
Your tenderness I long to feel,
recalling days when in our prime,
and taste your kiss just one more time.

(Valentine's Collection)
2.
Within my heart, you lie in sweet repose,
your gentle breathing tells me that you dream,
my Valentine, in dream you are my rose.
In blissful dreams, you are ever the theme,
that lights my heart with hopeful happiness,
as we do walk within the stars that gleam.
In peaceful thoughts together we progress,
our passion burns as fire across the sky,
love's desire we shall now come to express.
Now luna's comfort we share as we fly,
through God's timeless sea we both are winging
deep in our exultation, we do cry.
To love's temple all our love we're bringing,
in my heart, your love is ever singing.
