Sleep, sweet darling
Sleep

Remember drowsy
blue waters
heal and swoon
the ennui haze

In softly pillowed oblivion
where even your
little toes and feet
touch bottom

Beloved dreamer
in tempera obscurity
there will be no memory
of the procession
ferrying our kipped-down family

They will dance
widdershins around us
with fluttered eyelids
and reclining hearts

But whether an
allegory of the cave or
an analogy of the sun toward
some dividing line between
~either way~

Sleep, sweet darling
Sleep

Getting me out of my own way
isn’t ever easy..
My ego is rather big
and mostly greedy…
Feed me more
cry’s out my empty core
On and on I fight
this losing finite war…

Youth blooms
Blossoming spring,
until the gloom
when petal takes wing,

then, slow as snail emerging,
softest passion builds, surging,
head of vernal bud maturing,
zest of life in drupe enduring

But when the fruit ripen
it's time to pick 'em,
when senses heighten
work with them

for it won't be long 'fore they're gone
'fore tree's bereft o' youth's liaison
Before the fruit drop from the tree
before the boat's swept out to sea
before the dew that's sparkling now
becomes sweet memory as wedding vow
before the earth collects it's due
before it whispers, 'it's time for you'.

From the deepness of the blue
She arises to heaven.
Blue to blue
Smiling and inviting you
Mermaid of sea

Swirling dolphin of the deep
Want to see the beauty underneath
Come and take a  dive with me
To the depth of oceans blue
Where the real  treasures are

Life colorful and diverse
A real fantasy world out there
Many different corals and fish
Into the deep , underneath
Where life once began.

Ocean life a necessity for survival
Let’s treasure our oceans and seas
Keep pollution far away
To save our planet

FALL IS FALL

fall is fall
more changes to come
with chameleon leaves
out of tree trunk sleeves
turning red, orange, gold
soon a crisp shock of air
goes from warm to cold
a years cycle  three quarters complete
as life marches on and times fall back we
lose the chance on an extra hours sleep

This must be Gold of the old,
Of the oldies and goldies lives we had
She is this and that!
He is that and this!
Oh, Lord this wonderful experience.

How could I not love the world.
Wasting my existence
As I Have to understand,
I Have to understand all of you.
Your needs, primordial,
Always, your needs...
Your needs!
How could I not love the whole world!

It is people and human beings that can't,
Under the spell of gods that invented their principles
Based on some... Games.
În whom to put your trust and why?
For how long?
