It's when the stars lose their shine,
That I see the colors intertwine:
The pale gold of morning light,
Fused with the amethyst of the night;
Then the robin sings its song,
At the marriage of dusk and dawn.

Rills of sweat, glisten
Beading down our necks like rain
Bodies soaked in lust

Your love is my vice
Thirsting for your soft caress
Carnal addiction

Black rosary beads
Holy prayers uttered to God
Penance for my sins

Brimming with passion
Lush valley of sweet nectar
I drink from your stream

Sleepless nights when I was young,
fond times - I reminisce;
though many I cannot recall,
there is one I truly miss:
Midnight mass at the cathedral,
the echo of sung hymns;
growing restless in the pew,
as the candles all burned dim.
Still of the night - heavy silence,
white flake now falling swift;
plumes of smoke from chimneys,
and in windows stood trees lit.
Waiting in suspense - so eager,
in my bed under the sheets;
hearing the howl of a winter's gale
blustering against the eaves.
Old Saint Nick would soon arrive,
with his sleigh and sack of gifts;
bringing joy to all boys and girls,
and crossing names off His list.
But now I have aged and withered,
and so Christmas has lost its glow;
on its Eve I still remain awake,
and watch the falling snow.

Moments of peace are fleeting;
just as dew will vanish at dawn.
Smile and savor the seconds
'cause before you know it they're gone.

Fluttering monarch
Basks upon purple milkweed
Orange wings now idle

Bushels of apples
Picked from the orchard this fall
Ripe, crimson, and sweet

Fireflies in a jar
A lantern to light my path
Keep bright the dark night
