soul now carries body, ailing
eyes sharp crystal blue of ocean
-
-
-
-
garlands of gold against silver white sorrow
memories woven in broken laurette
-
When youthful zest sits down to dine with age
The wizened one consumes exotic fare
As youth becomes seduced by thyme and sage
-
A day with a cool drink close at hand, content with the sun high above me;
-
Clam digging can be yucky
having to be in sand that is mucky;
-
-
The swirling vortex appeared out of thin air,
sickening sweet smell of hot melted glucose.
-
I want to live inside your head I'd fill in the gaps and cracks
-
-
From now until forever
I will always love you.
-
Some people want to leave their states of naivety to discover truth, but discover they would rather resign themselves to their fantasies.
-
The sunset danced over calm lake ripples,
beautiful topaz glint in your eyes reflected.
-
Darting, dashing, diving Like dragonflies flitting
-

A refrain ridden Pantoum is easy you see, an A/B rhyme scheme is what's used to start.
-
-
In my chest I held a flame
cuddled behind panes of glass.

Moonbeams stretch across the nights sky, Leaving traces of light through the trees,
-
I sent my love a Valentine
A kiss beneath her pretty nose
-
-
Do you hear the bells ringing your sin away?
The breath-stopping calls you cannot ignore.
-
-
Like children they play, dancing around,
Competition, standing their ground.

-
I am Lurhstaap Warder-of-Storms I wear the colors of the tempest

-
The harvest is early this year
Early rains have ripened earth's fruit
-
Another winter dawn
The thunder-birds are flying
-
-
-
Facing my fears, my emotions run high,
Beyond that door I klnow that freedom awaits,
-
-
Can't bring myself to voice goodbye,
the courage flees my soul to say,
-
A songbird with a broken wing
So delicate and colorful
-
As autumn’s winds bring on the kiss of death,
The colored leaves blow all across the ground.
-
When old Malayans wrote pantoums
To try to charm a ladies heart
-
The beautiful skater now spins on the ice,
The audience gasps at the way that she glides.
-
Pawprints in the dust
Hunger shivering the air
-
Cold and grim eyes gaze
From within the trees
-
She is not quite blind,
But she is avoidant.
-
In my secret garden I hide
my box of treasures, tucked away.
-
Listening to ghost songs
standing in the twilight fog
-
Love’s more than the sum total of our hearts
Imbuing us with great resiliency
-
This is a promise
I'll always be honest
-
