It is Spring and it is Midnight
with your love my sweet exotic dove

A kind of rose candlelight
Kisses sweetly within the April sky
The mapled moon caresses
The hour with its honey gold

These are the moonbeams
Where our love serenades
One another
This sweet brilliance
That transcends the seasons
and oceans apart
When our love waltzes
WithIn our hearts
The heavenly moonlit waves
straddle and salsa
To reminiscent golden shores

One jazz sway of your Cabaret hips
One sweet kiss of your Iris gaze
Makes you surreal
Like paint upon canvas
Rose gold moon
WithIn our Love
WithIn vineyard sky

Sweet exotic *****
Your singing makes one weep
Windswept sorrows and joys
And even the stars seem asleep
And awake in dream

You waltz like a fine wine groove
While the rose gypsies
Lounge and bloom
as sweetly as they can be

And The moonlight is all ours
Luminous sassy demure fountain
Of love serenades and dreams
Seven candles
Seven brilliant midnight stars
To light with our gaze and love
While the sunflowers sway
And bow
WithIn the maple breeze

Reynaldo Casison

We met in coincidences—
Once in angst staring at the moon
Twice in silence glaring at the sun
Thrice under colored skies pretending not to watch.

Each time,
the universe held its breath.
Each time,
we let go too soon.

There were years between our names.
Other hands. Other homes.
Hearts that tried to forget
what never really left.

But I’ve learned—
what isn’t meant for you
will fight to leave.
And what is
will find its way back,
no map,
no warning,
just a pull.

So even if we part again,
even if time forgets our faces—
I’ll know:

'You are the return.
You are the thing that stays.'
Indefinitely

the faint moon
before an April sunset–
silver lace

Imperfection is exquisite beauty
It can love whatever it adores
And on rare and diamond occasions
It can even love itself
Sultry as candle sighs
Cool as evening breeze
It soothes the honey coves

It is a Spring sunrise
And the dew upon the morning glories
Goldenly blush
The moonlit caress is the caress of love
To make it through the day

The reveries make it more sublime
Solitude is the rose friend
When all has drifted like clouds

Tresses in the fur of breeze
Upon the verandas of loves gaze
There shall be rainbow bouquets
And things like stars sweetly ablaze

The rain sings
Its notes of jazz and comfort
Some like her sweet
And some like her sultry
The misty eyed fountains
feel her allure
Like a sunflower cure

Waves shimmering
And shimmering
Whether if its a fiesta or siesta

The rain has honey accents

Reynaldo Casison

Modesties waltz and sway
Upon the evening lakeshore
Mademoiselle moon
and heavenly irises
Are so sweet alone together
The luminous and lavendar majesties
Of their curvatures
Blush in the rose waves
The petals
are transcending styles and eras


What can be more surreal
Than the sighs
of paint upon canvas
A roses sigh is exotic
As a jazz ballerina it once was
And somewhere shall always be
Honey can soothe just about anything
At least thats what the midnight rain
Seems to sing
Like nightingales take wing
Honey is the balm of love

Nectar of sublime bouquets
Ah modest majesties
Tenderly your love elopes
Like dream
Your casual velvet mellow fireflies
Golden bonfire embers

And there WithIn you waltz
Our love a fine wine vineyard
Caressed with moonlight
mist and breeze
The Honey waterfalls is Poetry
It serenades the Music
And beauty of your being
Even the gypsy and siesta waves
sigh
Your love is more
than
seven roses seven stars

Our final steps
are never meant to be
one step on the moon
or a leap for mankind.

It was your memory,
intangible.
metaphysically physical
synaptically existing.

My mother's
mothering

A lover's

You sway your hips
and all the vineyard is surreal
You sing your rain
And all the pretty flowers blossom
Once again
I felt with evening caress
of breeze moon and fine wine stars
That you are my sweet friend

The moon rose and gold
goes waltzing
WithIn
Skies of our love
Voluptuous and intimate
With the heavenly stars up above
You sway your hips
and all the vineyard is surreal
Luminosities to cherish and behold

More than dream
You arent quite all that you seem
The waves like exotic ballerinas
Salsa to golden honey shores
Your beautys gaze kisses
with all our love adores

Goddesses down to earth
With the lakeshore irises
and songbirds mirth
You sway your hips
And all the world is surreal

I felt that Love would serenade us
Once again my sweet friend
And the roses with the rain
Grows nostalgic
For things like lighthouse piers
and sunflowers
Forever is long as it cares to be
It takes more than strength
To uncork the champagne
And
Forever is long as it cares
To sweetly caress gaze and see
The moon lets things be
Like a salsa rose
You sway your hips
And
All the vineyard is surreal

Reynaldo Casison

The spring moon waltzing
And glowing
Glowing
and waltzing
Through the midnight blue
