Small hands clutching tight,
strings of laughter tethered
to floating dreams—
bubbles of wonder.

Sand-filled toes in shoes,
quick feet dancing
through my greatest dreams
of who she will be.

Soft kisses from lips
formed from my own heart,
melting into a
stream to her future.

Sweet songs of her love,
belted with fervor
from within the small,
light-flowered sundress.

Mischievous smiles,
doll-filled hands spinning
games that fill the day
with her glow of joy.

Bright eyes signaling
a future, brilliant
as the twinkle
of stolen stars.

Trusting, complete love,
holding tight to life
as it drifts beyond,
on bubbles of wonder
Adjusted line breaks and reworded some phrases to enhance readability and meaning (e.g., "as the twinkle of stolen stars" instead of "the stars they've stolen").

"as it drifts beyond, on bubbles of wonder" subtly reinforces the bittersweet nature of time passing, without losing the lightness.

"Mischievous" is kept intact for readability, and "light-flowered sundress" smooths out that phrase.
I love how she sings
And makes love
Like a sweet sultry dove

Reynaldo Casison
Let me show you one that's mine;
She, sweet and strong Caroline.

Her hair, a mess of own
Her eyes, radiant of dawn,
Her skin, under sunlight shine
Oh sweet Caroline.

In every journey she embarks,
A new light, shines a new mark.
Her feats cross the skyline,
Oh proud Caroline.

A palace in her name,
It shall grow in fame.
Own the throne, a while,
My sweet Caroline.
She's strong, a brilliant mind, a shine.
She's my sweet Caroline
I long to be Loved by You
You and just you
Just as you are
My midnight star
Whose Beauty sings sweet like the rain

I long to be Loved by You
Loved Sweet by You
Sweet and True
Beyond All the Blue
You know how much I love you
And your exotic rose sway,
For not just sundays
But
Forever and a day

I long to Be Loved by You
Like Poets long to write poems
And Songs
How together we belong
How together our love always belongs

I long to Be Loved by you
Like waves long for the  Heavenly shore,
And flowers long for the Summers
sweet rain
I long for you to pour Your Loves
Dear Honey and Champagne

I Long to Be loved by you
I Long to be Always loved by you
For All Ive known Is
my sweet love
for you

Reynaldo Casison
Awed with her Sweet Beauty
The Midnight Stars
With The Honey and diamond gift
Of  their love
Light Their Candles
Upon the breast and hem
Of The Heavenly Moon
All the Exotic Roses and Sunflowers
Sigh With Our Love
In Iris Stillness And Sweet Repose

Reynaldo Casison
My sweet treat of choice,
Was a nice ice coffee.

But now nothing compares,
To the Cup o' Joe shade of your hair,
And the sugary taste of your lipstick.
The sweet taste of nature is the beautiful flavor of coffee.
The sweetest of confections
The dearest of affections
Sweet nothings to the ear
A  symphony you will never hear
Spindly drawings on the wrists
A horrid mural with a twist
Shattered wings that cannot fly
Turn around and say goodbye
Close your eyes and wish for love
From a supposed deity up above
Hope for tomorrow
Live for today
There is still so much left to say
Soft melodies in the harsh, humid air
But no one listens or seems to care
Take a breath and rest your head
Fall to the ground, an earthy bed
Taste the comfort and feel the warmth
Hear the music and go forth
Learn your lesson, seize the day
Forge The path
Pave the way.
im proud of you.
something i thought of during my nap/rest time today.
hope you enjoyed

i can't say i like the taste
especially—
it’s quite bitter
(rustling sheets, floorboards creaking)
but you (i) much rather prefer
there’s nothing bitter about you

a nespresso with caramel—
no, i don’t see
(kiss on your neck)
the resemblance
(kiss on my shoulder)
sweet, sugar, honey,
(stay the taste—caramel)
i must be broken
but not you (you) are heavenly

(the click of
the door—)

the taste(you —sweet)—
caramel

Revolving and expanding…
as spirals ever are…

as we, in ever are spiraling
along a line through time's

deepest thoughts, patient
agent curiosities, shining so

as once to seem so shown, to see

you, your entire self known worth,
as mass… gravitationally verifiable,

patient balancing pirouette perpetuation

spinning preceptor presensiousness away

far away, as all may freely see, today,
two flash, wish
the truth
of what we become, finally
evolved, remains, same as it ever was,
expanding and thinning at its extremities.
What a relief
