I Woke Up On A Tropical Island
A vacation was needed,
off on a cruise we were treated.
Great cabin, food, parties and shows,
now in a chair with a book about a rose.
The seas got really rough,
off the desk went our stuff.
Into the cold...

Regal Reign
A subtle shift in the shadows of sunset
exposes the splendid Moon as She rises.
Just as a cunning gambler hedges his bet
She shines Her best displaying Her surprises.
She slinks across the restless sky, a coquette,
limning traits...

MOONLESS NIGHTIt's one of those nights
The moon hoards its light
Fireflies taking stage
Lighting life into our gasping breaths.
Stars whispered known secrets
To the cool, quiet breeze
Grass beneath the sheets we lay
Cries for mercy as our act painful.
Our shadows...

Serendipity
Beneath the quarter moon’s pale glow,
Gas lamps flicker, casting shadows below.
Alleys whisper secrets, haunting and deep,
Lost in memories, he wanders on lonely street.
In the stillness of night, where shadows dance,
Oliver walks, caught in a trance.
Echoes...

Forced by reputation to meander.

Deemed worse than a witch sublime
Indicted as a demon in old folk lore
Seducing...

I hear the trees swaying
The breeze chills my skin
It knocks on my hippocampus
Am I here or where it blows?
Breeze, you are timeless
From queens to...

FARDistant starlit place
Flying parsecs away
In outer space
Circles Milky Way
A blinking light
Night and day
Cepheid Hubble found,
Receding slowly apace
Universe outward bound.

Whispers of The Night
In moonlit dreams, the stars align,
Their shimmering dance, a cosmic sign.
Silent whispers weave through the air,
Echoes of wishes, secrets to share.
The night unfolds its velvet cloak,
As constellations softly invoke
Stories of...
