Cherry Blossom
fresh infant new life
and the colours of Spring
a sweet myriad of birdsong,
and the pleasures it brings
and the bright fresh glistening
of a now warming sun
the flutterings of butterflies
and spider webs spun
the busy buzzy bees
bringing fresh beauty to life
preparing beautiful nature
for when the summer arrives
soon before my tired eyes
appears a beauty in full bloom
the gorgeous Cherry Blossom
newborn, from natures womb
and all to soon
her colours vacate their nest
then carpets...

The Dawning of The Sun
There it stands before me
The dawning of the sun
All these years of prayer
The time has finally come
My heart begins to pound
Pound as if drunk
Intoxicated by the truth
which non can debunk
Bestial figures then surround me
Trying to frighten, trying to scare
But all adds to none
For out their faces have been blotted
By the dawning of the sun!
The dawning of the sun
All these years of prayer
The time has finally come
My heart begins to pound
Pound as if drunk
Intoxicated by the truth
which non can debunk
Bestial figures then surround me
Trying to frighten, trying to scare
But all adds to none
For out their faces have been blotted
By the dawning of the sun!

Until You Leave
can you feel your heart beat
when sitting all alone
breathing in and breathing out,
alone without a phone
like a newborn entering
a world with no control
awash in new sensations
but yet to know a LOL
can you see your aura
radiating all around
no longer just your body
can you hear the sound
of silence as your thoughts fade
whispering away
quieter and quieter
never do they stay
can you feel the presence
of someone there with you
someone whose vibrations
are synchronizing too

Madam President
Voting for a new president
is coming at this moment
Will we get what we want
I really don't know
System is broken
Will we get a good president
Who the hell knows
So Michelle Obama,
Kim Kardashian-West
Oprah, Nicki Minaj
Gayle King, Camila Cabello
You need to run for president you
Ladies will be the
change we need
To fix the
screwed up system
is coming at this moment
Will we get what we want
I really don't know
System is broken
Will we get a good president

You need to run for president you
Ladies will be the

Happy Memories With You
Our paths merged and became one.
I thought this would be what I always
Wanted, love and something that lasts
Forever. We are always chasing the sun
As long as we have each other. Our gaze
On the horizon and sky, our murky pasts
Forgotten. Baby, it was just you, me and
The happy memories we hold in our hands.

In The Absence of Light
As Black
And as Beautiful
As the night sky on a country road in the spring time
That peaceful place where the blinding glare from those "big city" lights no longer hide the beauty of the world as God meant it to be seen
Surrounded by a Blackness so total, and deep that sight as a sense becomes irrelevant
And the remaining senses come vibrantly alive and illuminate a world where Darkness is truly magnificent
Where a man can smell the bouquet of newly blooming flowers
Taste the fresh flavor of the clean air around him
Hear the flow...

Speckled Kangaroos
There's are gnomes in the poet's forest
with mushroom caps, hidden in trees
down by the willows in my dreams
raining libations of speckled kangaroos
swinging in burlap hammocks
of cheddar's cheesecloth
and heaven's big chamois
down by the willows in my dreams
of speckled kangaroos.

The Butterfly
It has struck upon the hour
For the butterflies’ power
To unfold before the world
Like the yawning of springs flower
From the cavern does it cleave
And it’s first rays does it thieve
Not for something that it knows
But for something it believes
It started with a tickle
From innocences giggle
Echoing within the mind
Won’t you peek through just a little?
There is beauty to behold
With your wings of sun-rayed gold
Flutter through the skies
And the universe unfolds
The shells of the past
are never...
For the butterflies’ power
To unfold before the world
Like the yawning of springs flower
From the cavern does it cleave
And it’s first rays does it thieve
Not for something that it knows
But for something it believes
It started with a tickle
From innocences giggle
Echoing within the mind
Won’t you peek through just a little?
There is beauty to behold
With your wings of sun-rayed gold
Flutter through the skies
And the universe unfolds
The shells of the past
are never...

Mirrored On The Sleeve
As the cold moon filters in, mirrored on my sleeve
gazing deep in the night, reflecting my pulsing heart
with a whiff of the wind, from a tree that stands
in twilight's pond, of echoes and Ogon Sweet Flag
mirrored on my sleeve, your lip's Chantilly
golden crimson of desire on the water.

Carbon Copy
With a carbon copy of night and memories
closing my eyes on tomorrow's dawn
we will meet again in life's coloring book
as the dew spawns autumn's brown
of auburns and gold as time slips away
wearing heaven's crown untouched by hands
with a carbon copy of night and memories.
closing my eyes on tomorrow's dawn
we will meet again in life's coloring book

I'm Sorry
I can't pen
Anything more...
As the best work of art
Unparalleled
Capturing
Beauty of you
You are beautiful
For grounded simplicity
Valued honesty
Balanced harmony
Mirrored empathy
Admit this
Beauty doesn't define you
You define
What is beautiful
And that makes
All the difference
Anything more...
