My Perfect Life
perfection, in Elysian gardens
scents of newly mowed grass
lilacs lining garden path
sun shining through autumn leaves
blue skies...fluffy clouds
peace and tranquillity
mirrored in bubbling brooks
thundering waterfalls
umbrellas and kisses
walking under misty drizzles
....hearts and songs
picket fences
impossibility...fantasia.

...and here my spirit resides
overlooking the valley down below
fantasy in my waking hours
Lord take me here
in my end of days

I WILL MAKE IT
Perfection is but a dream
Where bliss is running stream
When time is endless
And sunshine never ends
Smiles that reached ones eyes
Laughter, a music playing nonstop
Where hands are weighed with compassion
And feet steady above the grounds
With flowers always in bloom
Fragrance embracing ones soul
Where beast are pets
And money don't exist
Houses unlocked with kitchen so warm
Food never rots and enough even for rats
Such abundance, with no hunger in sight
Much splendor, with no nations at war
How glorious it is if it wasn't just a dream
But hope resides, and maybe someday
I will make it so, inside my catatonic state
Untill life is drained, my dream will remain
The reality inside my head...

Dance is a magical place for me. "Your Hand" is one of my many dance poems that transport me to another place.
Your Hand
I'll take home your memory
echoes of the proximity
ache of the vanished partner
resounding solely in my heart
I had the others all the night
to the tunes that came before
then the blues began to play
I found your hand and there I stayed.
What we had was rhythm's bliss
jazz made pure for our fling
on the floor with rhythm and blues
melodic muse for two in groove
wonderfully slow was the speed
back and forth with no rock step
no hurry to move beyond the place
where two bodies moved in space.
Pulsing close down to the earth
finding the other as we flowed
the base to lead our bodies' thrust
felt as one by two enjoined
close enough to feel the heat
radiant bliss of movement made
only separated by propriety
though close enough for bliss.
The final notes began to play
time's wages for the pleasure gained
the garden left behind by those
who found heaven in another's arms
with reluctance I'll depart
knowing the music still exists
waiting for another time
when once again I'll take your hand.

A Fantasia of Perfection
Perfection is to realize it's there
Before your very eyes,
To open wide the vista of your mind.
It's not obtained by ownership of Man,
It's given, courtesy
Of Mother Earth & God, to feel & know.
To set aside the pain that wrought the soul
To simply sense the grace
Around you in its aura, raw, untouched.
Because of you who lifts the mental veil,
That all is then reveal'd
When spirit, sight & mind gives of itself.
Perfection is not solid in its sphere,
It cannot be defined
As matter of the planets, stars & us.
It's Man who tries to make an earthly gain
And sell to highest bid
As if it can be purchased for its weight.
Perfection, though, is like the very air;
A precious gift that "is"
To every living thing that knows it's here.

Fantasy behind...
a season of perfection
behind diamond shaped curtains
behind doors of reality
inside a paper house
stars and glitters
smiles devoid of tears

HAPPY ENDING
If heaven is 72 virgins
Who don’t know how
To make love
Than I’d rather spend
Eternity in Hell
With just one
Good old gal
Paradise is
A Happy Ending

Dreaming
Come my child and take my hand
We shall fly away from here to our own private never-neverland
A place where all have more than enough to eat, clothes on their backs, feet in proper shoes, and a place to lay down every night to sleep
Come, come lil one let's hurry away from all this angst, madness and despair
Just put your hand in mine and I'll whisk you right over there
We must be quick-be slick
Yes love gather all your friends
Anyone whose tired of this place
Who've had enough of this
Just plain ol' tired and sick
Away from this dismal place we will all run
Before it comes apart at the seams-war, famine and despair take hold and over run
But in peaceful Nirvana we will be
Chasing unicorns and rainbows
Dancing in the sunshine
Living with no worries, untroubled in peace and harmony
