My sweetheart let me put my champagne on your ice
This fiery act will take us to life to increase love price
Victory is confirmed before opening the cork so nice
My love your enchanting beauty has increased spice

The taste of kiss vibrates violently like flood in blood
You are so innocent so charming and so soft like bud
My sweetheart you are so sweet so flowery like florid
Taking you the most beautiful beauty of world I opted

Come to my open arms embrace me with the fragrance
Being all alone in my room I feel your worthy presence
All beauty of the universe is prejudiced to your cadence
Let me be a true lover to salute my love to your brilliance

if only we would love  
with our eyes
closed
and our hearts
open

we would not see
the outer shell

we would simply
fall in love with
the soul
the spirit
the heart
before us

for the rest
eventually falls away

Pound cake and strawberries on snow white
porches
Guitars , coffee and cigarettes
Southern etiquette   
Multi-colored leaves
A cool Fall breeze
Welcome relief* ...

lord
you gave me
these
butterfly wings
now
i can
taste
the sky
i
want to fly
i
want to sing
yes i'm
in love with the sky

She cries tears of mother's ruin
"Look at me!
It's been so hard
All of my life
And I've had to fight
For my own patch of light
Still, no-one ever looks at me"

He turns his eyes to the floor
Saying nothing
Feeling stupid
And his words burst like bubbles in his mouth
He is desperate to say something
Anything to make her happy
But he cannot turn disappointment
Back into youthful optimism
Or bitterness back to hope
As she sinks into smeary sobs
Wet and bleary loss
He takes her home

He undresses her and puts her to bed
Then he holds her as she cries
And he holds her as she sleeps
He hushes her when she stirs
And calms her when she starts and cries out
When the dreams become too real
And he shall never be more than this
Never more fulfilled
Caring for her is his only purpose
Making her happy is his holy grail
Willingly trapped within her pain
He is nothing else at all

I look up at the stars


And I see you.

Dented and newly used
my heart is set on cruise
Winning
Grinning
Never gonna give up
because I refuse

My heart may be breaking
but it is not the end
Dealer count me back in
I am on the mend
I am on a comeback

I am done being afraid
I am done being saved
Do not need another setback
I am on a comeback

I believe in who I am
I'm better than I have been
I am not down and out
I have only just began

Thank you HP and fellow poets for this great honor!!! Sorry I am so late to the party but my 8 yr old boy hijacked my phone from me.

above the naked sea,
the wind’s blue
castles
raise their
drawbridges
of air.
