GREENLAND
I wanna whisk you away to Greenland,
Like whipped cream -
To the largest island in the World!
I wanna spoil you with Danish Kroner -
The official local currency.
I wanna make love to you in the snow,
Like nobody knows, as we live like Eskimos,
Trudging through its 80% ice cap.
I will lavish you with fresh fish and wine -
Ravish you, once we reach Nuuk (Nuke),
The capital. Divine!
I love it when you talk like that!
Take me away and treasure me,
If only in wishes and dreams -
Then so be it.
Feed me until I...

EATING IT ALL
THERE
was so much,
so tempting,
my taste buds
salivated from desire
and wondering
THE
bigness attracted me.
I looked closely; a savoring
scent filled my nostrils' .
I handed the salesclerk
the money and bought
the Valentine's candy that
I wanted and consumed it all
before I got to the car.
YES!
I ate the whole thing.
Meet me at the Kissing Place
and we'll eat candy together.
OKAY?

It's Valentine's Day,
It's Valentine's Day, I know, my love.
Birds singing, deers dancing, a dove
flying, flowers blooming, a day to feel.
I swear I didn't forget all that stuff
I'm late, please forgive, my non-haste.
Don't throw our love to waste
until I get a chance to say what I feel.
A glance to steal, a kiss, maybe a date.
Can't you feel my heart, my Fair?
Lightning, dancing, flashing in the air.
Waiting for months to seal our deal.
To finally lay in a bed to share.
I know this day is special, my Red.
Everything has been...

Childhood Tales
Do you remember the stories we were told as kids?
About evil monsters and witches.
Vile characters with wounds and stitches.
When we all sat near the fire.
And we listened to our parents tell us the stories.
Like the story of an evil witch.
That used to be a normal human like all of us,
The story of an evil monster.
Who wasn't actually always one.
It used to be a pure creature,driven to do evil by pain.
By trauma or a painful stain.
The way people treated him for it.
And the names they would give it.

One last kiss
I hate this pale blue,
a shallow reminder of the sky,
as I hate the floral scented spray,
liberally used so we can pretend
we're not held hostage by failing health.
The beep, beep, beep of a heart beat,
the ever present sound of our mortality
is enough to make us swear off ever getting ill.
None of these mental gymnastics
will ever leave my lips
as I hold your hand and make believe
we're in some exotic, far off place making love.
With joy I remember our life on the edge,
always in danger of falling off, ...

leaves on trees
Leaves on trees
the trees on the great avenue
are contented this morning
no wind has blown yet
upsetting remaining leaves
that hope to be overlooked
and last one more summer
the trees are happy for them
they know, as the old couple
on the park bench know too
one fine day it all ends
the trees on the great avenue
are contented this morning
no wind has blown yet
upsetting remaining leaves
that hope to be overlooked
and last one more summer
the trees are happy for them
they know, as the old couple

one fine day it all ends

Coward
What it is?
To say, To Confess,
"I Love You."
A Feeling ?
A Statement ?
State of Being ?
Let me tell you,
My Love.
It is an act of bravery,
To Confess,
To Say, that,
"I Love you",
In the world of bravehearts,
My Love,
I am the biggest Coward.

It's a wonderful life
As a comet burns bright
And streaks across the night sky
So goes life
Against the fabric of time
Blink and you might miss
This strange celestial star
As it burns itself out
Fragmented from friction
But those lucky enough
To see it's blazing glory
Will speak of the miracle
They were blessed to see
And I will also
Count myself fortunate
To witness this mysterious magic
In a cursed and weary world
And streaks across the night sky
So goes life
Against the fabric of time
Blink and you might miss
This strange celestial star
As it burns itself out
Fragmented from friction
But those lucky enough
To see it's blazing glory
Will speak of the miracle
They were blessed to see
And I will also
Count myself fortunate
To witness this mysterious magic
In a cursed and weary world

A Dreamer
Like a bird
I want to croon daylong
wing off the cage to where I belong.
Like a reed
I want to sigh my wind
pipe my heart artfully to no end.
Like a song
I want to voice my inner harmony
as mind and soul merge in beauty.
Like ripples
I want to expand my feel
send waves shimmering with zeal.
Like Euterpe
I want to touch souls and inspire
my musing, my music are to admire.
Like a poet
I want to cast a spell of wit on my pen
and have the world of words as my den.

Once Upon A Dream
I had a dream the other day.
It was about a cat from a dimension far away.
The cat was magical and true.
It had purple fur,too.
The cat had nine eyes.
With yellow,rich color.
It floats,not flies.
And her fur shines.
The name of the breed was certainly unique.
""Purple ,arabic cat"".
The breed was certainly magical.
And something from a story-like.
The cat appeared in front of me with a friendly face.
And purred,rubbing its face onto my legs.
Maybe the cat was a magical being. ...

The Rainforests Tapestry
Birds chirping a sing along song
Croaking frogs and cicadas join in strong
With their orchestra of buzz and hum
The haunting howl of the howler monkeys drum
The rhythmic rustle of the breeze and leaves
Echoing the chorus of foliage and trees
The deep thunderous rumble of cascading falls
An organ hissing with mist in natures halls
Raindrops splatter under this vibrant canopy
A marimbas pitter patter, the rainforests tapestry
Croaking frogs and cicadas join in strong
With their orchestra of buzz and hum
The haunting howl of the howler monkeys drum
The rhythmic rustle of the breeze and leaves
Echoing the chorus of foliage and trees
The deep thunderous rumble of cascading falls
An organ hissing with mist in natures halls
Raindrops splatter under this vibrant canopy
A marimbas pitter patter, the rainforests tapestry

We Are Islands
We are islands, all
with our peninsulas and coves
With our forks in the road
that are really wishbones
Tugged at, by the piraticals
who want us to be their havens
while they recover from their scourging
from their touted opulent lives
Perhaps burying their treasure
within our dunes, before they go;
Memories mostly, and leaving us
with the short side of the wishbone
As the gold within good thoughts is worthless
to the truly alone
When nothing is left to spend it on
~
Perhaps I wished long enough ...
