A Night Alone
Even the precious emerald and ruby is but a penny,
To purchase this one night on lasting grace,
Thorns and needles, upon this rocky ground heaps,
Off home near home,
Long seen a sight upon this tyrant monstrosity called hills,
Against the mote wind prickle,
The wooing thrushes at profound remarks elated,
Yet, at no hush my niggling protest,
Their gender prescribed as landlords,
Herald menace in their famished looks,
Beasts at soaring sight!
Crowned jackboots feet and clipped claws of nailing hooks,
'The sparks would fly' i said, on suspended grievous trail,
You slimy vulture, at whose virtue is your spartan praised
When and less by knight you crave,
Waiting and stalking upon my thread at far east of Okuku hills,
Begone! Blood pawn,
So i joined the returned band of eleventh wagon,
And fiery down the morning mountain,
To the caves at hope linger,

The Night Is A Blanket
The night,
A blanket upon the evening so mild,
A time to know which star is mine,
Amid the consternation so infinite,
That each one,
Upon my eyes gazeth.
A delusional moment,
That last a mind at large.
The moon will merge the light,
And make the sparkle a wonder,
Then we mourn the horrors of the day,
Then again our minds open like a foyer,
To foster the delight at the evening arrival,
A cross section of light,
With diluted colors,
Across the face of the dusky sky,
That's her star,
Right above my head, i guess.
The lullabies,
Not so far from ages tongue,

An image so sublime
A room of peculiar imagery,
Sexually flushed to central perfection
Strobe light at instant still,
When dancing eyes glimmer at cursory glance,
To all standing walls that glaze,
An image of all time,
I am no curator with minds ablaze,
An image so sublime,
Crowned in cloudless clime.
An image that sparkles by lifeless glee,
That the dusk room and my wandering eyes might see,
Her dangling breast in motionless inhuman form,
Supple finger on damp blank palette,
Weary, idle mind to throb over incessant sensual call.
What an image so ordinary,
Like roses of sharp spine,
Royal in smell and hue,
An image more bright,

An eye that burns
I love your eyes,
My eyes?
Yes, your radiant dark eyes,
Like the winter snow
With wooing gaze
In glowing ember.
The one at our first night met
A shudder of diagnostically lust symptom.
Into my jerking spine,
To what the med might refer love burst entanglement
Was not i entrapped in the web of your covetous gazes,
That now at this night under where we cleave
Our souls now bound,
By the wounded branches,
Under ease of thrushes carol.
Your eyes was doused,
A moment beyond your infant measure,
A delusional love symptom,
I to my under skin diagnosed a sentence,

Confession to a vista lips
A lip of finest invention,
A man of righteous detention,
To forsake all against her mention,
A lip brewed of orbs rarest,
That the world thirst at its dearest,
A lip of life sweet taste,
To most breath that haste,
At righteous fall,
Hello Mr. Owner mall,
Who at her beckon crawl,
To sustain this grievous call,
But now, testosterone brawl,
A wish at futile chase,
Ending a world so encase,
A champagne life lips,
With berries to match it oozing whips,
A lip of warmth so enchanting,
That bestows life to all that's panting,

Goodbye Spring Friend
When the morning squeaks of spring fall
Was tearing down my windows ears
That the rituals of the early morning water fall
At my soul's feet appease
For all that is wonder,
Hath wonder lost
I remember when on the fields that orbs we picked
The green leafs to feed the stocks
In the dusk of the day
By the fire place
When beneath the fluffy sheet we cuddled
In the warmth of your gentle breath
In the mildness of your sweet caress
Under the whimper of the sky
To watch your lids dance to my serenades and endearments
This moment were like torture to the soul
For i was enfeebled by the potency of your wholesomeness
To think my ennui was not forever gone
O sweet friend
You should be a gentle man's lover

Tale of a lass
Excuse me,
Excuse me people,
The lady wearing the beauty of the night upon her shoulder,
I see a glossary of flowers in your eyes,
I see your heart wearing the theme of the night,
I see the morning light glowing from contours of your anthurium lips,
Flooded with smiles as bright as Amaryllis.
Hey! excuse me lady,
This place smells of Casablanca Lilly,
You taste of cherry blossom,
Let our souls and all be inebriated,
To steep an applaud to your stylish beauty,
As I sing a song about a lady of smoking beauty,
To muck ears of boozing crowd,
Please your highness,
Let your megawatts smile tremble at the feet of my eyes.
To your daffodil jewel embellished gown,
Giving a gorgeous look and glamorous style,
To your sleeveless shoulder,
Highlighting surreptitiously,

Haute couture lady
If I would not believe,
what then is my faith like?
Standing bear naked with no remorse
under the guard of your smoking eyes,
I could be faced by the odds of perfection
and the certainty of growing old in wandering days,
but at the aplomb of your bridling tongue
and the luscious desire to your dangling breasts,
I would humbly submit to the powers of your adorableness,
If your allurement were no crime,
The roulette would be no man's nightmare and the cold gate of hell would entertain the finest of smiles,
How low to be chide by the whips of your incense in my childish fame,
What a nostalgia, not the type i would defile at these prime,
I am indeed appraised by the black spell,
Accustomed by your irresistible sensual ease,
My chest is hot and fast to rot
When your speckling dangerous eyes dances,
i see the incarnation of gracefulness,
Contrived from your incendiary touch,
I would call if not behest of you,

A Wish At Seventeen
I've thought always of you as the wild rose in perfection of my garden,
So fresh and full of restive lightening,
Streaming from streets within coasting sky,
Where the angels at dusk abode,
accustomed by awesome breath of spring,
From the freshest bosom beneath.
My words are in count demised,
For your queenly voice at my drowsy soul elevate each at staring stand,
My dark dangerous eyes,
against the lightening pricks
at each sprawl of the sassy pedantic sun,
Longing in eternity to what your beauty's worth might behold
in the smiling face of the moon by the death of the day,
For yet, i bear what may look like you at each passing street in my teary heart,
For through this means, my gasping days are prolonged,
In this delight, i dispense glee in abundance of affectation,
At first, i thought i would fiery this through not having asked myself against the seeming odds knowing my regrets sail abroad,
My delusions now at your beckon stranded
and to mother nature behest
that this bond strengthens beyond the shores of perpetuity,

What a sultry night of love.
Standing in the sultry-naked summer night -
A vision I see,
An intrinsic figure that shivered down my soul,
A lady of love, beauty, and potential viability,
Well also Over burdened
by an unmerchandised self-esteem,
Soft breezes blows from fragrant meadows,
Tossing her perfectly coiffed auburn hair into the wafting cheerful sky,
Like a flawless floating garment of what an angel might be,
A goddess, an angel, oh, lovable beyond measures - I do believe,
Then slowly i walked in the trail of her shadows - towards her fansy bossom,
The stars and the faintly shining moon came,
And their came a stream of light,
Giggling like the ever fluttered sun,
just then i knew my superwoman was here,
So transfixed was I - I feel so insane
Like a man in denial of sex,
All the secrets of her dark eyes,
Came stirring my dark mind in dancing times,
And then a voice - a heavenly voice
