Let alone a banyan tree,
A branch is much bigger than me.
I am not big.

The sun seems like a palette of colour.
As I see the big print,
It amazes me even more.
Colour drifts, painting sweet spots,
Shedding hardly any space at all—
Only a hand’s palm size, that’s all,
For its spectacular masterstroke: a rose!
You are the only rose
Of all the roses
That ever blushed with sighs
Swayed with sweet stillness
And
Were ever painted
With love

Reynaldo Casison
Within the rose golden moonbeams
An exquisite woman
Blushing like dreams

Reynaldo Casison
Like spring fireflies
Some can sweetly waltz
Even the rose stillness

Reynaldo Casison
I felt your love
I felt your love
Within
Its rose candle sighs

You caress sweet melodies
Of evening rain
We all need something
To soothe the pain
Some days and loves
Are like champagne

I felt your love
I felt your love
Within its rose candle sighs

You glisten sweetly
Like the soothe of moonlit waves
The diamond stars ablaze
Your accents of honey
Unique and heartfelt
And With tender warmths
The blues like snow melts


You felt our love
You felt our love
Within,
Within its rose candles sighs

Light upon the light
High atop the high
Let the lucky brow
Paradise shines
May your most beautiful eyes
Cast a glance!

Let it light up  
A candle in front of the mirror.  
Ah, wild glimpses—  
Ultimately nuanced,  
An enduring treasure,  
Eternity in shadow,  
Gently showing up.  

Dear, the buzz is all in bloom.  
Without one, nothing is whole.  
The sun scrolls down in sizzling gold,  
Never derailing, never sliding back,  
Looping into the shrouded night.  
The color is half full, half light,  
Hues reflecting a zillion stars.  

Time moves in discovery,  
Ever burning the midnight oil—  
The humble moon,  
Lingering beneath your midnight-black locks.  
The color, the fire—will it be the first to spot  
Your veiled face, the true morning rose?
Whenever the Moon
Like a Rose blushes
I fall in love with you
Again and again
Morning to midnight petals
Moonlit wave within wave
Candle sigh within sigh

Reynaldo Casison
With you the Moon
is a bouquet of Roses
Glowing within the sweet vineyard
Of the evening sky
blessed with pretty serenades
For ordinary folks and romantics
Like me and you
That stretches beyond the blue

Where Our love
is golden,
Within its petals and caresses,
While you wear my loves flowers
In the honey of your tresses,
The waves waltz
In their natural dresses,
To heavenly shore

Within this sweet vineyard
Our love is a Summer waltz
That is always luminous and kind,
Things are sublime like fine wine
And everybody is in love
With one another and themselves
Like a pretty festive cruise

Reynaldo Casison
Warmth of a rose ballerina
Salsa waves
That rather not fight
Feeling the luminous shore
Like jazz and songs

She doesnt mind
How clumsy one may be
They can appreciate her
moonlit grace
All the more

With love she caresses
Every season
Even March opens its drowsy gaze
To her Rose stars
Intimate and afar

Beauty that is what moves us
Rhythms like candles sweetly ablaze

Rain is reminiscent
Of her Beautys honey
Swaying
in the stillness and breeze

The fine wine ones are their own
canopy and vineyard

Feel the roses and sunflowers
Bloom in the irises of moonlight

Reynaldo Casison
Wild night, the salsa rose
Sighs like candles
And dreams
of sweet love and
cool rain
