There was a barber shop quartet,
 That went to the track to for a bet,
      Their singing exploded
   When their pockets got loaded,
 From a topical tip called, " Minuet "...

A fathers love

From 1 second to 60

From 1 minuet to 90

From 1 hour to 24

From 1 day to7

From 1 week to 4

From 1 month to 12

From 1 year to forever...

Heart
Beats fast,
As I watch
Her body moves
In dazzling minuet;
Emotion beyond words,
Yet, before I could touch her
In haste, she was slipped away by 
The amazing Romeo next door;
I despise myself, for I let her go....

ant and spider went
to a dance the spider was
just ALL but 8 feet

tipsy toe tap tap
dancing on concrete and grass
waltz, minuet dance

We go through this world
Feeling like we have enough time,
Like the earth revolves around us,
We don’t realize that with
Every minuet that passes,
Is another minuet that we
Can never get back,
So whether you eat or drink
Or whatever you do,
Do it all for the glory of God...

Her eyes light up when I enter her view
a radiance reflecting
off the mirrors of our soul
a deep penetration of mind
our love language unique
a rarity to find
she mouths her intentions modestly
feeling drawing us inside
just two in the wind coming together
I am hers, she is mine...

Oh, save me a dance
Sweet lady of mine
Oh, save me a dance this eve
I wish to glide
Dance floor, we’ll slide
Then dreams come true
I believe

Oh, save me a kiss
Sweet lady of mine
Oh, save me a kiss this eve
I wish to taste
Though not in haste
Then from me a kiss
You’ll receive...

And dusk invites 
more bouncing glee,
as ribbons knot 
Queen Fey’s gold  stick
like wiggles coil
on toes, how free
to laugh around 
while clouds frolic.
when kiddies shout,
"let's pirouette",
while hours sway 
in minuet!

happy
     so happy
look 
      about,
what 
       do you see
everything
      is glad to be
     alive...
the sun
          shines
even
      when it
it's 
     raining 
         outside,
clap,clap
as we dance
as we jive..
..alive..alive

inspired by Boccerini String Quartet minuet...

Cracks In The Facade-


frontage fronts faces aspects open space
exterior buildings look
there’s cracks in the façade


the face of a building, especially
principal front that looking out
all have minuet cracks here

Gave a smile itself
took a tear to sit at the ocean
A star fished

On a great rink
where no one could sink
she puts a smile and her faith
Now this young girl is ready to skate

A perfect triple pirouette 
combining the magical minuet
Excellent somersaults... she did it twice
Her grand leaps made fires on ice

Her flaming dance of passion
was an intense fusion
and this winter...
she is the winner...

strange how the day shuts down, suddenly bleak,
as when the dawn crested three-quarters past six.
cumbersome eyelids befriend pen and ink —
outline of skinny trees, lack of stars,
hush’d homes — fig leaves do not hide them.
visible neighbors smoking chimneys.
the sooted smell of winterscape
as she falls fast asleep.

While I sit here
holding you
deep in my arms
whispering to you
so many reasons to live..
Take a minuet 
to wipe the tears from your eyes
and tell me one reason 
to breathe...

worlds collide
as whirlwinds
twirling churn 
in their incessant dance
galaxies waltz around while
unrehearsed a minuet of stars
bounce where winds may blow
meandering
gliding sliding 
on their elliptical courses
travel in stride
skating graceful

The kids fare in the window looking for Rodulph
The parents are in the kitchen drinking egg nog
Putting last minuet gifts around the tree
Strung with lights for the outside to see
Stockings are hung above the fire place
Cookies being made, dough all over the little one's face
Can't wait till morning to see what Santa brings
Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings!...

You can always spread His love to
To all around
Around bring joy
Joy and love show.

Love heals the aching heart that hurts
Hurts makes us strong
Strong God will make
Make you each day.

Obey God seek His Kingdom first
First every day
Day with prayers
Prayers and songs.

Moth-winged Minuet


Closing my eyes I flew
from lonely chair
through open window
in mesmerized anticipation.
Drawn toward the glowing
warmth of the porch light.
Flames torched my heart
as another circled.
The crickets kept time
as we danced
a moth-winged minuet
of transparent melancholy.

Time oh Time, how you have become an enemy to me
The sands runs through the glass too slowly
The minuet hand assumes the pace of the hour hand
And the hour hand takes a millennium to complete rotation
The sun lazily climbs the steps into the sky and the 
Moon is stubborn to return with her children
Do you not want to see tomorrow like I do?
A whole new horizon to explore...

Of Crimson of Rose of Fire of Love

Each delicate thought
Untouched and untamed 
Flickering a light
Of beauty ingrained

Of Crimson...Of Rose...Of Fire...Of Love

For in a moment
Minuet and unstained
Reflect's a great love
Where memories remain

Each delicate thought 
Behold the new day
Evanescent fleeting
Yet forever shall stay

Of Crimson...Of Rose...Of Fire...Of Love

Of Crimson...Of Rose...Of Fire...Of Love...

Winter feeds the earth that brings the birth of spring
  Which knits fine attire for naked, blushing trees.
It clothes the bare limbs on which the perched birds sing,
  And adorns green fields for all the buzzing bees.
Every blossomed flower gives grounded hearts wings;
  The reborn earth is the answer to our pleas.
In the warmth of the light, shadows minuet
  beneath the leaved tree’s boughs sublime silhouette.
