Be beautiful today

The world needs your beauty

Wake up relaxed and refreshed!

Give to each and all of your best!

Step out of your door in vogue style!

Put on that waxing lyrical smile!

The world needs your kindness

Deliver from your warm heart,

Inspiration through your fine art,

For all who unceasingly suffer,

Needing your trees’ sheltering buffer.

The world needs your love

For someone who longs to hear

How you feel, that you truly care

And if you’ve cried all night long,

Let they who hurt you, right their wrong.

The world needs your faith

Believe in the promise of seasons

That in each there are good reasons.

Sad and dark as the day may appear

Someone has heard you out there.

Why not let that someone be you-

Who makes someone’s dream come true?

Be beautiful today!

Avert the storm

cumulus clouds

Another storm is coming

The winds have howled all week

Warning of the blizzard

That must surely havoc wreak

 

It’s called a natural disaster

But I wonder if this is true

When I see the wretchedness

In your blazing eyes, tinged blue

 

And now the clouds have gathered

Warning alerts have sounded

It’s not just the inclement weather

But you that I’m concerned about too

 

I beg you, don’t lose control again

There’s just too damn much to lose

Think of your entire family

Resist the urge to call the thunder

 

Don’t let it be upon your head

That those who love you dearly

Should once again bear the agony

Please send the storm away.

For you

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

This gift

You may never know

No, not even guess

The imprint of your words.

Perhaps misunderstood,

Even misrepresented

But their arrows found their mark.

And now you’re gone

But certainly not forgotten

Wherever you may be

Let peace find your soul.

Let happiness find you

As you found me too.

This gift I gladly give to you.

When the sun rises

When the sun rises with her new grace

And sends glimmers to light up your face,

May you be peaceful in your repose

Recalling all that none but us knows.

As the arterials flow with your warm blood,

Let sun help your rose form its new bud.

It is your smile that I so sorely miss,

It is the miracle of loving you like this.

Walking the edges of your dark shadows

Between past highs and brand new lows,

Let pendulum retrace its swing back to you,

Stroking your soul to feelings anew.

Should you awake still feeling weary,

Nest in my soft pillows until you can see clearly.

For like a babe suckling on its mother’s breast,

You’ll find true love and soothing soft rest.

Dream sweetly my love,until we again meet

Where I’ll be waiting, open arms to greet.

A toast to you

A toast to our anniversary!

two months ago today,

when we tied the knot

at our own alter made

of whispers sweet,

from lips soft and moist-

the beginning of Spring

with it’s new blossoms of promise.

Gone too soon with a dry

hot summer sun, sweltering,

melting, wilting our

freshly picked flowers.

Wish the rain would come

and not stand suspended in a

gathering cloud to fool me,

instead of soaking me wet.

In hope, I will not trust

because I’m not yet despairing.

I’d rather keep faith that

the new seeds will grow

even in arid conditions.

A time will come again

when the hint of drizzle

will swell into a deluge.

For how can it be called rain

when its sky does not meet the plain?

So my window stands open tonight,

hoping to catch the scent of your arrival

with the hint of refreshing vapours

and a promise that you will return.

Spring still flourishes in her abundance

seducing the air with fragrances rare.

But she longs for rain’s loving care

not droplets suspended in the air.

Yes, seasons and climates do change

and we must adapt – but never give up!

A message from Venus

Venus visited me in a dream

and asked that I deliver you

this message :

return to less turbulent times

where you breathed divine

wisdom and peace with many

who adored you.

accept that disruptive forces

have entered your realm

and delight in the creation

and inspiration this offers

You.

Most of all, love remains

supreme and speak of it

fondly as the Goddess deemed

it should be.

Then she said: keep faith

in the love you have found

do not be distracted by

playfulness, which is part

of love’s charm, but know

that Serendipity has

special plans for you.

Finally she said: Be careful

Of your favorite rose. She

is surrounded by many thorns

who whisper everywhere.

In tending her, do take care.

I enjoyed the dream and

hope you will to.
