Alluring!
Intricate designs
catch my eye.
How you bloom!
Humbled by your love, beneath
Crowns of passion’s thorns.

Alluring!

How you bloom!
Humbled by your love, beneath
Crowns of passion’s thorns.

No pretty gift box from me
Left under your glittering tree
No Yule tide message exchanged
It’s a gift that none but you will see
Can’t smell it or touch it, and it is free
No shops keep it stocked on their shelves
You’ll feel its shiny wrapping
And you’ll hear its beat tapping
If you listen with your heart.
You’ll smile when you find it
And taste of its flavors sweet
Each time you slip into your dream
For you, I share my imagination
To fill your mind with inspiration
And warm your heart with peace
For you, I’ve made a pledge
To walk with you until the edge
Where your soul finds its freedom
This gift will forever be priceless
When we behold eternal brightness

When shadows’ footfalls stalked my toiling tread,
Grey skies convoluted me in ominous surprise;
Smog smothered my mind, pulsed my heart with dread.
Then life’s train derailed haplessly before my eyes.
With blind vision and ambivalence, I stumbled.
Faint glimmers of light appeared as but a dream,
Of a distant love whose words I now mumbled.
Then wheels taxied the runway in a silent scream.
I prayed and begged forgiveness in a church,
But my mind and my heart seemed to disagree.
Wild winds blew in, toppling spirit off its perch
Then ship’s bow tossed turning tides endlessly.
In the cold air of an evening, I heard an infant’s cry,
My senses unfurled, released in a heartfelt sigh!
