Tic Toc Tic Toc my clock
Rhythmically flows
Lud Thud Lud Thud
My heart beats
As I lay in bed wondering
In this pandemic
Will.I stay wakeful
In Kronos Time
Or breathe with another
Chance to change
Whatever time it is
I need to value the
Time I have
Appreciate all that
Has been given me
And thank the Lord

.
Oh sweet, sweet, dance of summer you are here at last
yes I would like to climb to the top of your  hill
There you can tell me more about the breeze that flies me free
for I am old enough to love your steps and young enough to try
Oh sweet, sweet, dance of summer you are here at last;
Bring me your charms and all your steps, I am ready to advance  
pushing forward like the flower, bathing in the orange sun
I am on the summit of your summer ,
ready to  graze the verdant hills of my life , once more  ;
Far in the distance I hear the song of Ocarina,  
and I watch as  he plays the golden flute;  
Softly and keenly the spirit follows the groove of his tune
while the sun rises freely,  o'er the mountain until noon
Oh sweet, sweet, dance of summer you are here at last
give me the song of Ocarina, so I can dance on your festoon.

He's humming a tune
A melody
A ditty
It's familiarity warms my skin
On the tip of my tongue
Like melting ice cream
It washes over me
This song called July.

Don’t judge a book by its cover,
judge a book by its scent.

The way to discover the truth of the paper
is by embracing its broken youth
through the aroma of its past caretaker.

dark shadows cascading...
wherein lies the effervescent flower,
awaiting her blooming.
tampered by the darkness,
an eternity in hell.
trapped beneath the ruins,
upon when sorrow first fell.
luminescent in the sky
crystal clear cut blue,
the wounds have smoothed.
the blooming is near.
encompassed in her cocoon..
centuries gone by
solitude is key.
time is the grand healer,
nothing else matters.
awakened is the furnace, fueled by her heart
inside lies the door
once opened, unconfined
dozens of light radiated by kaleidoscopes
the key to pandora's box
her mind and her heart
awakened from the start
the snake which swayed fate
the hand laid to make way
evil's gone.
happiness is here to stay.

Aer
it's been some time since you've realized
green was just not for you.
yet we've been mixed together for so long,
you don’t know if you'd rather let me go.

we were beautiful, you and I.

but I've realized that I've always been blue
and your yellow was always just for you.
so just like this our green fades away-
but just as I am blue, I'll never forget you.
our green turned to jealousy and I slowly faded back to blue. and that's okay.

You created me My Love,
a red-chalk hurried sketch.
Wispy lines, broken edges
never touching.
You drew no ground beneath my feet,
no sky above my head-
Wings so faint
they don't even cast a shadow.
I've no eyes, just shaded hollows.
No mouth with which to scream.
Arms and legs
are all movement without form.
I'm fractured and I'm naked,
with no distraction on this paper.
Nothing here for me to do
but dream and pray.
For the sketches that lead nowhere.

You're golden,
you always will be
to me.

You're shining,
always sparkling
to me.

You're splendid,
always impressive
to me.
