Premium Member The Iris

It stands tall
proudly pointing to the sky
reaching high toward the sun
with hints of purplish blue peeking through

Buds open ever so gently
cautious shy and humble
unsure at first of their regal stature
unaware of their innate majesty

The iris parades its generous petals
ample and graceful
floating graciously
with carefree elegance

Poised amidst the garden
the iris is remarkably unaware
of its astonishing beauty

Love or hate

How Long a wait will my weak feet endure?
For many years On your snub I still wail.
Yet Veils of lies don’t cover your allure;
Your Elegance I still cannot but hail.

Your words Often fail to convey passion,
Your heart Remains closed off to compassion,
Since you Heave out too little in response,
Within the Arcade of hatred you ensconce.

With Time, you confound me more with your love,
Though Elusive, it descends from above.

Premium Member Elegant Simplicity of Klein Design

A vase,
simple, elegant
smooth symmetrical,
with only one side, surface
no inside nor outside, only in between
a narrow neck extends up from the bulb
twists back on itself to meld back into the vessel
with no perceptible seam, join or mark at the intersection 
moving over its surface tracing, seemingly left and right, is not feasible
the vase, no flower bears, it holds no air, no water, only nothingness
no rim divides the in from out, no wall circles roundabout
a trace becomes an endless loop circling back on itself
with no start nor end, no curve, swerve or bend
the design is for eyes-only to perceive
for hands and touch get lost
slip off and drift away
in the vacuous
hollowness
of Klein 
design


O Maiden Fair

O maiden fair whose elegant space that  I, a little ant has found grace
It’s true that the breath of the devil resurrects Death
               But your beauty can raise both Death and the devil to light
              See your skin, as warm as a beige that glows under the merciless sun
              And backdrops all the layers of gold you have dangling from your arms
             O your eyes, feline and utterly luminous
             As if they project their own ray beams

           Fine woman of svelte neck, straight back and sturdy hips, 
          I secretly watch you – and patiently await my turn of acquaintance
         To feel the peace of your calm temperament 
         And visualize up close the form of your 
         Lovely essence. 
      Speak to me, speak with me, why do you succumb to sorrow for the world that we despise?
Your tears leave me with a wounded heart. Come, cleave my breast and see

My Elegant Maiden

My vast maiden,you inspire me to write,
How I love the way you talk,walk and look,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the reaping hook,
Let me compare you to a splendid spoon,
Your are more gorgeous,elegant and big,
Great sun heats the blended peaches of June,
And summertime has the sycamore fig,
How do I love you?let me count the ways,
I love your epic bosoms,lips and eyes,
Thinking of your supple lips fills my days,
My love for you is the lovely joys.
  Now I must away with a major heart,
  Remember my fine words whilst we're apart.

Premium Member Swans Lake Sate

Swans so gracefully gliding o'er lake
Delightful scenery they create 
Dressed all in white feather finery
True beauties of the lake dynasty.

Falling in love with love forever
Swan mates dance on water together
Singing a swan lake song as they roam
The glorious lake they've made their home.

When swans in love kiss with a beak peck
A heart shape appears betwixt their necks
A smaller vision between the eyes 
Romanticism in lake's paradise.

Swans raise their precious baby cygnets 
Till they've grown to become strong and fit
Off to their own world they glide away
The circle of life in a relay.

Elegant they live, with poise they die
On angelic wings away they fly
Then when they've entered through heaven's gate
Swans will sage nirvana with lake sate.

Premium Member Flowers

No matter what your mood flowers are our constant friend
A bouquet for my sweetheart ready to send
They teach us how to live life in full bloom every day
The sight of elegant tulips that visit us every May
An infinite field forming an angelic heavenly look
My camera will hold beautiful images of the photos I took
The fragrant smell of flowers lifts my spirits and soul
A bed of red roses so vibrant and bright makes me whole
Sunflowers put a smile on my face so bright and bold
A gentle whiff of lavender,s starts to unfold
Busy bees rush around gathering pollen filling their role
I am left with a rainbow of colors as I finish my stroll

Premium Member A Elegant Touch

Your beauty, everytime I see
My mind will not let me forget
To kiss your lips I dare or truth 
A glance into your eyes a dream
A Elegant Touch of a devine being
A taste of the sweetness of love

To see you my heart beats 
Ponder as if my mind I feel
A soul breathing,alive in being 
Depths of my being feeling...(lost) 
To feel your warmth my desires
To feel your heart beat as mine
A smile that lights darkest holes of space 

A Elegant Touch of beauty portray 
Like the heavens has touched my soul
A dying soul,filled with emotional wants 
Where be it that love be not true
That our passions be not felt 
But in our heart's we know love 
For there its beauty we share

Each Elegant Elephant Is Inteligent

Elizabeth Warren
always seems to be snoring
never is boring

to find latest news
Brunswick Beacon should peruse
for subjects which amuse

had hit a bee hive
Brunswick Beacon will ascribe
did read diatribe

cut butter with knife
paper made us come alive
so we would survive

subject classified
which on we always relied
we have tried to hide

elephant will vent
a limit on his extent
size of single tent

he was eloquent
an elegant elephant
practice much time spent

intelligent elephant
would study each element
which is relevant

Until I Close My Eyes

In the lap  of dawn, as I slept in the melody of the cool breeze,
The countryside started to whistle as she stepped on those petals.
The most elegant figure that shines along with the sun-rays,
Her smile shied the butterflies away; her single glance took the by-passers breath away.

She sang and danced to the melody of the wind,
That fragment of my imagination blew away as I closed my eyes.
I left a sigh and walked past her, hoping to see her again someday.

Elegant Emerald

Elegant Emerald 

It’s a people’s paradise
A rehab retreat 
An elegant “Emerald”
Green carpet 
At our feet

Trojan Swans 
Cross the pond
Ferrying Families, Nostalgian’s 
And Photographers 
Strong

It’s all mine
And yours
Ours…

I think I love that most…
The sharing
With sharing comes caring
With caring…
Love

I see that all here…
I do
I love Boston 
I love Boston Public Garden
I love you…
