Purple petals dancing in the sun
my heart singing for your soul
To learn, grow, understand
everything about you
Let's be together, hand in hand
kindness at the core
Our love each new day blossoming
like purple petals dancing
in the sun ☀️☀️☀️
Leaves' dancing shadows on the piece of sun
missing the keen eyes
rebound on the vacant space.

The man played with shadows
weaving them into whimsy shapes
before most of them were pulps of paper
gone into the bin of night.

If not for light
would be no shadows
he was always churning in his mind
probing dark holes of moon
going into shady nooks
seeking playfully alive shadows.

The dead casts no shadows
he brooded
on the space he would leave

but he wished
they had
when he wasn't around.
The majestic of poetry
To some is a fantasy
A realm in which
They cannot fathom to be

I myself, on the other hand
Run parallel with poetry
Poetry majestically sparkles
From time to time upon me

Sonnets and limericks
Sparkle magically into my brain
Happening when I least expect
Meteoroids falling, I run to jot them down
Before forgetfulness sets in with pain

A three line stanza sometimes is enough
To satisfy my need
Other times I must write a lot*
An octave for instance may be
What I need to hit my poetic spot

Either way I dream
I too could compose
Long prophetic fantasies
Such as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey

The majestic life
Of poetry is fantasy
Thriving the heart
*Which dwells within me
