In morning's waking haze
Lingering in love's oasis
Youth's love there lays
Welcome, my beloved's gaze
Abiding eternal within
Madrigal my love relays
Heart's reluctant duality
Awakened to light of day
Adjourned our lover's reality
With love my valentine

Stage and theatre his true home
Open your eyes and see him play
Ready for the role that has come
In his unique way to portray
Never one jot less than awesome.
Our friend has now reached five decades
Raise up your glasses, drink his health
Oros needs no fancy parades
Sorin's friends are his life long wealth

How strange it is to lay awake
On a silent snow covered night
Can not sleep my mind overtake?
Under the glowing bedside light
Slumber come quick for goodness' sake!
Perhaps our dreams like an earthquake
Open our tired eyes to our plight.
Carefree smile covering heartbreak
Upon a face beaming so bright
So no-one can see what's in our wake

Four ladies drinking wine
They just came out to dine
An Englishman came bye
He smiled and caught their eye.
Now they just want to share
A night with him in prayer

Some say that pure luck can explain
Every success or accident.
Random kinks in the road remain
Each obstacle masks its intent.
Narrow pathway to preordain
Deity’s jest to represent.
It just makes no sense to complain
Providence guides life yet unspent.
In small steps across life’s terrain
The way to be truly content
Yield to serendipity’s reign

As by magic she did appear
Laughing freely with voice and eyes
Instantly the puzzle was clear
Neatly the pieces organise,
A perfect picture full of cheer

Come run a while see where her steps will lead
On her journey into the great unknown
Running breathless onward at breakneck speed
Into life's affray no time to postpone
No doubt in her mind, soon she will succeed
Away we go, just grab the telephone

Now that the year has ended
Echoes of highlights replay
With those we have befriended
Yet others we left behind
Each a joy or a sorrow
As memories intertwine
Rejoice and greet the morrow

Gave energy and time
Rose gladly to inspire.
Aiding a brother's climb
Exiting worldly mire.
Music flowed out in rhyme
Entreating to aspire.
Building box, bench or plane
Impressing with his skills.
Riding, paddling, flying
Daily seeks nature's thrills.

A year of wasted hope
Emotions worn and frayed
Empty promises made
Strung along like a dope
Bewitching glint of eye
You flashed a smile at me
The truth I could not see
Hidden behind your lie.
Hoping your word was true
Ignored the signs I saw
Till at last I withdraw
This moment overdue
I take my offer back
Now dowsing passion's flame
My heart's control reclaim
I've given you the sack.
