Which spring soon paints in pink chiffon
As if at a signal — to act upon
Not one...

Friends are like stars
Steady, glittery and bright
Embossed perfectly
With their yellow-white
To the black velvet
Of our dreary minds
Adorning them with
Eternal sparkles of light
Inspiring us with their

Each one unique
Of it's own kind;

Friends are like stars
Luminous and lustrous
Radiating rays of hope
When in darkness we grope
As life's...

It's not hard to see or tell this world of ours 
Isn't the same as it used to be. Granted, it has 
Never been perfect, but I've seen better days
I've become numb to a cavalcade of bad news
That saturate the television, social media
The radio, the...

Monitoring self,
nature made her decisions:
disaster rained down…

The water rose—
Life sank beneath the level;

In my meadow the scent of spring ripples in air, 
I see the dance of patina on dainty petals of daisy, 
unfurling with the touch of dawn’s spectrum, 
like your hazel eyes out of the trance of dream. 

The flowers blossom in chromatic charisma of...

If wisdom was a picture, how beautiful she’d be.
Words melting into hues, in perfect harmony.
Truth revealed for all to see in reflective symmetry.

Your love flows through my veins
like the Nile River flows through
the sands of Eygpt.
Love flows through my veins
like rivers that break off into endless streams

Like drops of paint on a painter’s easel
Resting quietly, patiently among others
To gently decorate the canvas;

Like soft silk folds of a lady’s dress
Pooling out, freshly washed,

Gathered in the glowing sunrise,
Bringing the fragrance of a...
