Maryann I

Dawn stretches golden over Guanabara Bay,
sugarloaf rising like a dream in stone.
Waves kiss the shore in samba rhythms—
each tide a whisper from the heart of Brazil.

Birdsong rains from the canopy,
scarlet macaws slicing morning light like brushstrokes.
The rainforest exhales its perfume—
a living mural swaying in greens and golds.

Cobblestone streets hum beneath bare feet,
colors bursting from murals and music.
The air tastes of mango and maracujá,
joy lingers in every sun-soaked laugh.

Ipanema gleams like a string of pearls,
bodies bronzed and basking in euphoria.
Even the breeze dances—
flirting with palms, curling through café songs.

From Lapa’s arches to Christ’s open arms,
the city holds you—wide-eyed, blooming.
And oh, to see Rio not just with eyes
but with your whole soul alight.

Rio de Janeiro

Depths...

Floating quietly, in your depths I roam,
Charting paths through spaces unknown.
Your heartbeat maps a world concealed,
I glide in the hush this calm reveals.

Invisible tides up and down within,
Taking me places where I've never been.

Let me dive into the deepest depths of your heart
So you can feel me with every beat of your heart
Let me swim into the vibrant realm of your part
Ethereal place so close from where I never depart

Moonlit waves unveil dreams under starlit skies,
In melodic whispers, this love's harmony lies.
I drift in coral pathways, colors softly shone,
Currents pull me to your heart's tranquil home.

Invisible tides up and down within,
Taking me places where I've never been.

Let me dive into the deepest depths of your heart
So you can feel me with every beat of your heart
Let me swim into the vibrant realm of your part
Ethereal place so close from where I never depart

Sinking deeper where the silence calls,
Fading light guides me closer still.
Your memories shimmer, breathing me life,
In depths of your heart, my soul lies still.
In your heart’s oysters, my pearl awaits,
A treasure untouched by time or fate.

Let me dive into the deepest depths of your heart
So you can feel me with every beat of your heart
Let me swim into the vibrant realm of your part
Ethereal place so close from where I never depart

In silent oceans, endlessly we blend,
Beyond all horizons, where journeys never end.

Running the Gamut

When the fetus unfurls
A Spirit flees the confines.
It sprints rampant through life to seek.
Having tasted the fruits of pleasure and pain
And run the gamut of livings extent....
It curls and pays obeyance
To all that is bounteous and worthwhile....
Then, when done, it enters the deep black void
And, without malice, quite willingly,
Vanishes!

It Is Not Winter Anymore

Now that the year has come to Spring,
I want to see the lakeshore,
smell the green, hear birds sing,
taste sunlight in my core,
crown every flower king,
become enraptured and adorned
in sweeping streams, in the bee's sting,
in the haste of the hummingbird's wing,
in the thrill of the rushing spring
of the blooming months, the budding moor.

it is not winter anymore
