bedazzled by jewels
beguiled by the gem of you~
diamond eternal
as fake gold duals
alloys mix unbanding two~
with flames infernal
tears drowning in pools
blinders tunnel, love eschews~
so notes my journal
Love is
Surrounded by Monarch butterflies,
on migration
A tingling in your gut
does not defy
A warmness flutters inside
When flowers perfume
When you are near
You feel the same, I shall assume
Love hurts
When rubies now rhinestones,
dullen, sullen
Diamonds now glass,
cutting deep
Pollen smothers,
I swallow my sorrows
My bleeding heart
Let’s stay together
Dowse the drought
Better a diamond with a flaw
than a pebble without
snippy snappy sneezy snarly snail
met Melton Mickey, a piece of mail
preening privately in potter’s pail
saying Selena’s son Shawn should shortly sail
allowing alloys, alligators and aliens ale
believing beyond bunker boy’s blueblood bale
kicking kindhearted kiwi into kangaroo kale
amusing snippy snappy sneezy snarly snail
Born of Silicon and Oxygen, you hide in the Earth,
Formed in shapes sizes of dust and rocks, and heavy boulders;
Midst costly gems and stones and jewels, you have august worth,
Electricals and opticals intertwine your folders...!
Crystal and white and red and pink and green in their pure forms,
Like flowers and birds and beasts in various shades and shapes;
Prism-like pristine kaleidoscopic elegance conforms,
As glass, concrete, mortar, or jewel show perfect stapes...!
A proponent of optimism; you are a sign of luck,
Polished Prefabricated you perpetually shine;
With diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires, when you are stuck,
The charm of your fusion goes beyond the enchantment line...!
Particles of the sun and moon and the stars in you thrive,
Fine alloy midst alloys, O quartz, fond feelings you revive...!!!
CHRISTMAS VILLANELLE
Come join the birthday, celebrate, rejoice
For One who woke the world to set it free
To sing our carols with uplifted voice
Then with His blessings and with power of choice
Our eyes are opened now that we may see
Come join the birthday, celebrate, rejoice
Unchained from sin and close writ law invoice
We grant to others each their right to be
And sing our carols with uplifted voice
Make Merry drink from cups of fine alloys
No close confinement laid on by decree
We join the birthday, celebrate, rejoice
Though tribulations drew our sails from hoist
Let these dark storms pass on into our lee
And sing our carols with uplifted voice
In time to come we’ll know long waited joys
And we shall lift our hearts with new esprit
So join the birthday, celebrate, rejoice
To sing our carols with uplifted voice
Armies of robots parade the streets of comfort
Pretend children hand them balloons that pop
They too are made of metallic alloys sharp
Objects have been known to burst on contact
Computations are astounding, almost comic
Intelligent machines have learned to laugh
Flashing eyes look innocently at strangers
As they march in perfect automatronic cadence
To launch pads dancing almost in a trance
Downtown is billions of miles away as they continue
Thousands more like them will have to be created soon
Millions of rocket ships with atomic fuel as well
Will be needed for the invasion of the planet Earth
Which will take some time in planning
Defeat will be easy because robots never sleep
They just keep on marching down the street
Favoured poems allow me to feel blessed, letting me rejoice
Announcing soul’s gratefulness midst apathetic noise
Vouching expression anchored upon faith’s poise
Optimizing reflective times, despite doubt ploys
Resonating human nature's bests and decoys
Expressing earnestness of heart’s voice...
Declaring my need for the Lord's hoist.
Poems I delight in reverberate with life joys
Offering inspiration against hypocrisy that annoys
Exuding truth in varied forms along writers’ prudent choice
Making me praise* God for poets and their great style-alloys...
Shaping my poetry, enhanced by what my learning pen employs.
*Psalm 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE
The greater blessing is the power of choice
Not gifts nor riches any way compare
With having your own mind, to give it voice
See then your many options and rejoice
That You may wander here and venture there
The greater blessing is the power of choice
Prefer the active to the passive voice
And you will find the strength to counter care
With having your own mind to give it voice
The slave may drink from cup of gold alloys
And sleep in sheets of silk and satin rare
The greater blessing is the power of choice
Beware free handouts for they may invoice
With lost volition, thus they will impair
The having your own mind to give it voice
Fulfil your obligations, then rejoice
Though poverty may seem a threat to bear
The greater blessing is the power of choice
With having your own mind to give it voice
I shall continue to say and I shall not stop
I shall let the world hear and let them know
For water springs in the well you dig and with no stop
In this heart it becomes a sea and ocean flows
Of joy, bliss and eyes wear a show
I shall rise up my voice into the air
And alloy your name with the air
To transport it all over where exist
In her quiet way that chimes the hear
And let them know you are ~ oh sweet
As pleasant as honey
You are dear and of harmony
You are love within which my heart dwells
That makes me speak of love in a lovely way
You are just ~ just who you are angel
Your alcoholic heart alloys with mine ~ I' m intoxicate
Your seductive voice seduce my sense
I'm out of thought
But of you... you and only you I sense
In each second the pendulum streams
Make moments meet prized precious play,
Yield happy here with touch of grace.
Move joy most sweet as change finds day,
Ink strains of cheer with poignant trace;
Dance in the dream of easy peace,
Truth has a way to hurl clear light;
Opt profound theme as love funds ease,
Work well this day with precious sight;
Now is good time to touch and taste.
Sense worth beyond the care that shows,
Urge curl of chimes in placid haste;
Imprint upon wise worth that grows,
Trust faith and hope to usher joy,
Etch love's sure scope as zest alloys.

Singapore
the sound wave slips serpentine
isolating notes from the chaotic noise
the ocular ray rebounds on the rock
refracting its boomering-photo of corrugated surface
the pulmonary sponge expands its alveolum
to the sea of pre-prejudice aroma
a hand of outlining mass tolerates its first electric mutation
when caressing the iron rod
a sucker mouth inflames the nipple
savoriing milk and saliva secretion
...the pilgrimage of experience through the layers of time
pulverizes ego into oblivion
the being-enemy alloys tender wisdom
and death arrives with torch tongues
incinerating the decadent organs
and blushing illuminating existence
silence, brightness-light
the sound waves weave sonatas
with limpid multicolored rays
Some people don't know when to stop...
Black clouds of poison gas crowd bunkers
Soldiers laugh and others wheeze
Symbols of luck on tainted red flags
War creates nothing worth fighting for
But the world thinks that
everybody's better than the next
but we all know that everybody's hurt
Fire-
Evil-
Alloys-
Reasoning-
all the things are teasing me
Everybody's hurt and it's running though there
Veins and as the weak and helpless run
Ivory towers crumble as the enemy
Laugh at those crushed or gunned
War is and evil craft
although unmasked
The evilest of spells
Children hide in wells
Guns, swords, and hooks
Flashing horrible looks
Men in bloody shirts...
Everybody's hurt
Do we know enough now, so to just let things be?
Must we always display every scheme in our head?
Shooting alloys to Mars; resurrecting the dead;
Convulsing the atoms; drilling holes in the sea;
Minds etched in machines confront or console me.
from cloning to transplants, is there nowhere to tread?
Do we know enough now,so to just let things be?
Must we always display every scheme in our head?
In these grand innovations, not a word has been said:
Protections prove poison- from asbestos to lead.
Can we match the design of one small bumble bee
with peerless pollution and such horrid debris?
Do we know enough now, so to just let things be?
tempered steelheads migrating through the
shallows, their metallic scales lubricated
with penzoil two stroke motor oil.
moving over sand and rocks
some gray, some brown,
some smooth, some jagged and torn.
with alloys glistening in the summer heat
they brush up against the rivers stones to break
off the fishermens disappointment.
all those scarred gums whose fishhooked
lines caused thier lead bellies to rust.
in the muddy waters they stir,
drink to much whiskey and sink to the
river bars sandy bottom.
their rigid frames drifting through the sediment,
with heads lowered swaying
slowly like submariner zeppelins, trying to
navigate against the turbulent waters.
now these mechanical nomadic sailors keep for
themselves a tin compass in the sky filled with
memories of home.
but still they are mellow preachers
rolling and tumbling in their hardened
elements trying to find their way.
Between us no line exists-
sans demarcation of where you end
and I begin.
Your lips caress my neck
sinking through flesh
to converge with spine –
no boundaries.
We together are miscible,
at all levels
melting into each other,
in any and all proportions-
alike.
Distinct personalities,
molten from heated emotions,
meld to form
alloys of incredible strength,
durability –
last forever.
Transparent thoughts
creatively intertwine-
commingle.
Juxtaposed bodies ,
bring into existence
liquifed love,
passion flowing-
together the epitome,
perfection.
Simply complete –
we are one.
Words expressed directly action intense
Alphabet sudden numerous transmit combination
Occasion conscious verb too Communication
Tediously enhance romantically atmosphere
Lasting event Artistic monseigneur extremely
A poem, engage elements monopolizing routine
Conceived prevailing attitude prelate
Or Communication seem translucent establish
An French treatise geologic History book lavish
Interestment tropical pages conceal shallow
Material alloys joy Inside faithness
Writer I'am sensible Poet created from dirt
Villainously Nature similar wool picture
Qualities treacherous strength a gift wrap an
Characteristic talent where Communication
Steady greated centuries variously free
Maintain committee organized Communication
exposure, pleasure, appearing joined
Intelligence concerning my dues cleverness
Accumlated quick instance minate
Biology including Graduated toDay
