What Will It Be?
If it's yea, the lightest of hearts, I'll sing,
Towards heaven, exulting all the way,
In meadows, I'll dance, but to grass I'll cling,
Afraid that a breeze, might waft me away.
If it's nay, the heaviest of souls, I'll sink,
The sky, I'll bear, clad in mourner's frock,
Should I walk on granite slabs, I'd still think,
That I'll dent footprints, on the solid rock.
If maybe, would happen to be the word,
A change of heart, may favor what is true,
I will wait, for time, I could well afford,
Till eternity, add a day or two.

The Dewdrops Song
In cold of night
From fog alight
My drops, to wwet the petals, red
With pristine liquid that I shed
Soaking the grasses wild and free
Except the ones under the tree
Where soon lovers may sit in bliss
On early morn to dream and kiss
Oh bud, drink up
Empty your cup
Before the sun can dry me out
Ensure your blooming comes about;
I will try not to drench the rose
As ladies lift it to their nose;
And pooled drops I would never want
If it is cause to drown an ant;
True, I collect to soak the bough
To fall like rain as winds blow now.

Remember The Alamo
Freedom within grasp of their hands
Travis' men held the Fort in line
If later, none among them stands
Still, blowing all throughout those lands
Is cause that walls could not confine
It grew strong with the blood they spilled
And Crockett shed his blood for more
Pop! Pop! Pop! Bom! Bom! Bom! till killed
Yet outside, Fate has been fulfilled
Houston struck to even the score
Freedom earned not without a fight
For dream to live, and as they choose
In precepts that will give them light
To say which one is wrong or right
By themselves, without pride to lose.

The Proposal
Now, pledge to me your love so sweet
And I will do the same with mine
My mind could never soon forget
Just what my heart came to enshrine
Now, cast a glance upon my face
Just so your eyes would meet with mine
Your soul came wafting in like breeze
Like spirits from a cask of wine
Now, leave your touch upon my cheeks
As tender as a kiss divine
Or hug me with a warmth that peaks
At times that our arms entwine
Now, rest your hand on top of mine
Your fingers curled as though a vine
Just like your life you chose to spend
Along with mine as hearts could blend.

Love For All
Love is like the sea, touching every shore,
Surrounding all as hen would, to its chicks,
Its water reaches, even to the core,
Of all the islands that every wave licks;
Love of mine is thus for humanity,
Caring unselfishly for creation,
As limitless as been, infinity,
With no hint of a pause or cessation;
Divine Providence laid down the basics,
For love never bound, by things, material,
In compassion, it's the foremost classics,
Never earthly, but rather, ethereal;
…….If love of mine be such, and no other,
…….Why can't anyone become my brother?

Conscientious
Wont to reject all trappings of glory,
If these reduces others of stature,
But detests modesty and penury,
If that renders wealth wicked of nature;
He speaks not in great flurry of wisdom,
So not to belittle the common minds,
Or live a lifestyle replete of freedom,
Lest someone, life, a virtual prison finds;
As though mountain that towers over plains,
Abhors being center of attraction,
But might serve as barrier for winds and rains,
Or as landmark, to set up direction;
.....He will divest his goodness, to feel fine,
.....Or else, angels compare as less divine.

I
I descend from prime loins of the Earth,
Heir to sublime perceptions of glory,
Not one creature supersedes my worth,
Though greatness may have been illusory;
Failures and flaws peppered my existence,
As shortcomings became norms of my days,
Regrets hounded me with marked persistence,
Peace and love, rarely in my dwelling stays;
As matters stood, will there be a future,
With no past worthy of retrospection,
Evil had sought my ways to indenture,
A far cry from my goal of perfection;
……Of whose image had emulated, I?
……And to what glory could I aspire by?

Love Sonnet 37 Should Love Be Out Of Mind Once Out Of Sight?
Should love be out of mind once out of sight?
My love has heart always beating for me,
For close to it am I, holding her tight,
This, I figured from Grey's Anatomy;
Chocolates I give as befit her heart,
And spring water to drink, pure and pristine,
Roses for eyes and culinary art,
Yet, I practice not herbal medicine;
Things I am not, for her I do become,
Like being king for palaces I never had,
Or dreamy fool, that I must be to some,
Pledging eternal love though not a god;
....If love be lie, and heart a blinded wit,
....I scorn to have eyes opened without it.

Alpha And Omega
As things material has to start somewhere,
Like Big Bang or debris in empty space,
And might we ask if space started from where,
The same with thoughts, and all, in every case?
A god primordial would appall more minds,
If said to rule with all vicissitude,
But any thinker in the end soon finds,
Questions of origin he must elude;
So best is that which neither starts nor ends,
But goes forever as time would allow,
Only eternities it ever spends,
Never questioned regards the why or how;
Is there a cause much better to suggest,
Before I put this worthy case to rest?

On My Way
May winds blow on my back
And push my sails onward
To shore where lies that shack
With roses on its yard
The home of Lady Love
My angel from above
While plodding down the road, I pray:
That I would pass a wishing well,
Or that black cats would shun my way,
Or that I see those lights that fell,
So I could ask a shooting star
Of guiding me to where you are;
It augurs ill, and seems of prospects bleak,
If on my way, a hearse passes me by,
Or should to pieces, I, a mirror break,
But luck, to find a four-leaf clover lie,
And of ladders I know,
