Stardust falls gentle like
freshly fallen snow, it lands
on dreamers, lovers, young
and old..

Stardust is not only
for little ones, it shines
each night in the velvet
heavens..

Golden dust falls from
the sky in the warmth
of summer, when
the moon is full..

It creeps around the world
like a fine mist, before the
dawn appears..

Stardust is what's on the roses,
like dew they say, it soon
fades away with the brightness
of the sun.

Stardust is like the finest diamonds
displayed in the jewelry stores,
the only thing with stardust, it comes
without a price...

Collect your stardust, when
the moon is full and put it in a
golden box, in case God runs
short someday..

Stardust covers angels wings,
they shine so brightly, they fly
so proud, in the heavens
above..

Touch each flower, smell
the fragrance of freshness and
the sweet desire that arises.

Like life it's sweet, it's
lovely, what lies deep tells
the story of treasures not
yet seen.

Roads traveled never
play a fair hand at times,
only new changes of
lessons learned, make
each road easier to
travel on.

While you find yourself
don't forget to pass some
of your wisdom on!

Sing sweet one to me, let me
hear your sweet song, your
voice has sunk a million ships
now that you have gone, you
have left your name in lights
never to be forgotten.

Sing on, let the angels hear
you now sweet one, there
will never be a star brighter
then you are, only the stars
in heaven can tell you true.

Sing on sweet one, your
voice was never meant to
be forgotten, not here on
earth, and in heaven, you'll
delivery a song fit to please
the master of the whole
universe.

Keep singing sweet one
you always will be my inspiration
your songs have never been
forgotten, they live on
Marlon Lonzo, born with
song and glory.

Can not feel sadder for I so miss
my beautiful Chatty my beautiful
Amazon Parrot.

I've tried all these years to try to
forget him, but he keeps creeping
back in my mind.

He was not only a bird but a deep
cut that never heals, it just aches
too much to forget goes on and on
I am beginning to realize he was
more part of me than I am.

A need I needed more than a need
a heart beating out of time and
space he was., a friend I must of
known in another life.

Chatty my boy! You are now free
to fly as far as you want, when
you want! I release you for now
till once again you'll return in mind
appearing so new and alive wanting
to bark like poo-bear and Tinker-Bell
how you could bark like them.

Bright as sunshine you were, cheering
me up when my body hurt so, making
the pain disappears for a while.

Oh, my Chatty Boy! I shall always miss
you, you're my song, my happy bird
that loved me so very much.

You're the one who took away my
loneliness, I never even knew
till I never saw you anymore and
now I will never dance and whistle
like a child around the house, you
made me so alive in a way I have
never felt through my whole life.

I wonder how one little Amazon Parrot
can make a lonely life so worth living
but it was a miracle, my Chatty
made me alive with more energy
I thought I had lost when my children
grew up and left.

Had many many birds, but Chatty
made me alive. He learned so
easy and made me want to keep
laughing forever.

So this is a poem, I write tonight for
my beautiful Amazon that was the
best friend I could ever have found
that made me alive, free to
express my hearts deepest
thoughts.


“Miss you Chatty”

Keep my people, safe God of nature
leave them unharmed, they are my
people, part of the land, there heart
beats like the mighty trees.

They are like the earth, the stream
of life running through their blood
capturing the goodness that surrounds
them, my people of love.

Keep them safe, they hunt the buffalo

when death is near, a sight they want

People wild, free, little ones growing

they believe another life of peace will

Lifting the basket of truth with ease
knowing it has been heavy once in
the dawn of life.
Strolling under the flowering
maple trees, I caught a glimpse
of a squire collecting a-corns
storing them away for the long
winter months.
With autumn comes a tale of
stories that were not made up
read by our grandparents so
many years ago.
Shady days bring starry nights
for remembering how lovely
living life use to be in the
olden days making memories
by the sweat of the brow
not know if they would finish
the day of work without dying
before a drink of water.
No story can be made up till
you have your own story to
tell, with its grand details
reading to those little ones
with eyes wide open filled
with excitement listening
to each word attentively.
So has each basket of truth
is unfolded, another basket
of true stories will fill it
up once again.
Lifting each basket will always
be heavy in dawn's early life, till
each true story has been told in
the fullest from generation
to generation.

(We all have a story to tell)

Walk silently across
my path, sense the
tranquil surroundings
around my heart when
darkness arrives.

Walk silently, the night
appears to be showing
it's wonders of beauty.

Soar across the great
atmosphere, seeking the
hand of power, letting
it calm your restless
desires of unexplained
mysterious heart.

Walk silently in solitude
among the great peaks, where
no man has been before.

Mind explores all desires
searching for answers to
questions unknown.

Keep clam, touch the heavens
within yourself, tranquility
will arrive without notice.

Created another chapter
of your life, perfect in wisdom
logic in manner, finding
love fire deep.

Walking the waves of white, have no
desire to capture the storms worthy
truth.

Destination of ocean lost, water
hitting the banks over and over
again in time with the rumbling
thundering skies.

Angry the sea becomes, with opinions
deeper than the brownish eyes of
her loveless shore, covering fires
of disappointment and breathless
desires of freedom lost.

Life forces encouragement to weary
gathering of human despair, and thoughtless
demands causing frustration, cooling off
the warmth that used to exist in the hearts of
thriving acceptance of human desire, continuing
on with unbelievable teaching not meant to
be passed down to children with lifeless eyes, with
no smiles to bring in the light.

Inspired thoughts climbing to heights that have no explanation to who we must have been once upon a time.
We cling to the imagination and what was once a matter of interfering love caught in a time of space.

We assumed that love was just a word without meaning, only one thing they forgot to mention that love did not come from us it came from a higher power fill with enlightenment and peace
Inspired but once only in those ways can you really understand the knowledge and wisdom you really have and comes out in thoughts without notice.

Flowing through channels unknown to man thoughts gather together to make meaning clear once again what a civilize thought to use to mean in long lost centuries
Cannot gather snow among the wilderness once that craved rainbows filled with brightness and truth.

Enlightenment casts her shadow upon people of light and peace, people are known for there strength and courage to resist evil and darkness that comes with it.

No more shall the largest star anoint us and bring us untruth to our fellowman known now as the white angels of understanding and knowledge.

Come collect your favors of love which is true to your spirit that brings wisdom, and wisdom brings understanding, to your questions without answers.

Thoughts rise high with different ideals
capturing what lies deep, when life
arrange platforms of uncertainty
no foundation of truth composes
answers proved correct.

Once, it was simple to be who
we were, excepting light for
light, night for night, now
darkness has swallowed
the indifference of our
true endeavors.

Anti-conscious robots we've become
taking foolish attempts, controlling
man who had intelligence before
technology took over, easier
ways of functioning without
mind and intellect.

Light has found a different
path to find peace in man
saving each soul with help from
Whose creation was created?

A new world, no feeling, nothing
only living separate, with lost
hope and promises.

Where the rain forest meets the ocean
silence calms each heart of memories
burdening them no more with sadness.

In the darkness, roads lead somewhere
in the depth of understanding, in each
soul, there is a yearning for release.

Melodies haunt each thought plagued
with anticipation, no longer hurt exist
making a heart grow stronger, it now
turns face in reinsurance calm.

High you stand, softness filling
your heart of the misunderstood
there are no more reflections of
fear, tranquility fills each gap that
once bled red with doubt.

Time echo's across meadows
leaving misty morn, capturing
the warmth of secure melodies
freedom starting a journey new.

Laying on a bed of knowledge you
shut your thoughts, connecting
to wisdom, life just begins
death has brought you
life.

Where have all your dreams gone today?
in a box, you stored safely away!

Where should you put them once they
have become reality? In a poem with
words written in gold!

Where have the bad dreams gone?
possibly in the garbage with the bad
things that have no worth!

Where have all your dreams gone now?
In a glass of crystal ice, to store away
for another day perhaps!

When will your dreams become a
reality? When the dream you dreamed
last night will stand still throughout
your life!

Where have your dreams gone now
that you achieve all you ever wanted?
Maybe never noticed the lost soul
wondering in the dark all alone without
hope in their heart!



(It is never too late to look one more time
may just find that dream is still in you!)

Touch my soul, feel my thoughts flow softly
across your heart, I the poet of a million
thoughts.

I come to you in many ways, through simple
expression, understanding and deed, notes
written in dreams, awaken I write, till again
I drift off softly.

Poet of a million thoughts bring inspiration
when days sometime are blue, skies
darkened, I am here with you in
written word.

Read me, feel me near, fear me not, I am
here to comfort you, the poet of a million
thoughts.

Within a binder, words are written of a million
thoughts, an endorphin releaser, like sitting
on a cliff feeling the salty mist of the ocean
across your face.

Sweet music to mind, are a million thoughts
of a poet that goes on forever filling the empty
heart that wouldn't exist if words were never
wrote.

Poet of a million thoughts flow deep from the
shadows of the weeping willow, inspiring words
to appear from nowhere just her ravishing
beauty that drapes in wonderment, completely
my words with the essence of her freshness
release.

This sun of warmth plays a part in life's
reality, yet life cries on, not to see what
lives under the shade of yesterday.

This day we live, we reach high, sometimes
higher than our destiny, only to find that we
never have to reach any higher than our own
beliefs.

Oh! sweet days, we live each second in
a daze, in a maze of what we would like it
to be, and cannot find our way out.

This love we hold is not how we feel, we
have no explanation how strong the power
it holds just a small degree we feel, it may
be a lifetime to know what love can do.

This song we sing will never end, not if
we believe, letting it comfort our life we live,
just measure each day for what we give, not
for what we want, it can live a lifetime, after
that an eternity.

This world is not bad, it is beautiful, it is us
lacking knowledge, bearing arms being aggressive
what really means our survival, this we cannot
confront without destruction.

(This we know. that only in the warmth of
the sun shall we conquer)

No Lies remembered
surrounding heaven's
door, toward magical
mysteries.

Achievements control
Thoughts, lingering deep
to deep within, leaving
a lasting mark.

Thirst, never-ending
grow stronger among
foolish dreamers a waste!
satisfaction accomplished.

Just a thought passes
in the darkest shadows
softly touching tenderness
of mind.

Gratification, rejoice, live,
release, each in its own
time, never forgotten
captured, caged, surrender,
life's pages unfold un-noticed.

Each kiss leaves another
each promise broken, brings
a tear, replaced by another
lover, sensitive without dreams
of his own.

Standing in the corner a statue lost, alone, now
neglected with age, she seems to be forgotten, a
beauty in her time now stands gray with dust that grows
more and more each passing day.

Molded she was, perfect in every way, now silently she
stands, wishing she could feel free of dirt, when once
she was in the spotlight, eyes stared, her molded
beauty amazed.

A perfect sculpture molded in the imagination of
someone's love. now standing alone crying within
a heart that always beats without notice.

Now the freshness of a lake draws moisture to her
eyes, she knows her days that were, are long passed
oh, how it felt to be in the spotlight for a while.

Slowly her heart stops, as she sheds an inviable tear
for what was and will never be again.

Emotions burn deep, catching a glance
of inner fire, savage fire burning without
release, pain without knowledge!

Welded-in spirit demon force rages forward
like a vessel tossed in the sea, flames
burning, no ultimate healer.

Thick with denial, comfort seduces acceptance
upon arrival of fire laced in the noted realization
of each illusion materializing.

Illusions die hard when loves turn
away without a warning, truth should
be everyone's friend when it comes down
to love, go away false Illusion.

Dreams reinforced, collecting thoughts
of today, perfect love gone bad in a
second of time, savage fire burns, no escaping
it's useless to pretend life was made for your
liking, you're the savage fire, making you
stronger with determination, force, persistence
of heart, soul, power of love irresistible energy
among all who have made it happen.

We are the creator, imaginational power stronger
than knowledge calmer than realization, we are
the creator of illusion.

How could I ever put away my
thoughts when they are not mine
to keep?

They appear when I expect nothing
breaking silence of my heart, speaking
to me in it's special kind of way I can
so understand!

Each thought pours out like little
colored sparks leaving me amazed
in my own little space.

Electric thermodynamic sounds excite
adopting one-time release, not to be
caressed just recognized.

Heart warmth crashes deep, it leaps
so high I cannot reach the thoughts
that pour like liquid.

Lustrous sweetness expels light flowing
through with words that sometimes
makes no sense.

Purification slowly captures my soul
with music hypnotizing each thought
each move, I sensually release, like
notes appearing to be magical without
one thought.

The sentimental journey took in-depth
a place warm, exotic, tranquil, no
imagination could create this freshness
collected together with all thought
our master created for us.


(Not in mind could one
create just one thought!)
(We never created
thoughts from the start)

we had flowing to the

We had the world laced in gold
had the wind blowing passionately
throw our excited hearts.

We had everything there was to make
light shine brightly upon the world we
made strong from loving.

We still have all of that and more as
we have become wise in spirit with
love becoming stronger.

bring the light in your eyes back
to the way you felt once when
we were young.

Someone once told me life
was too hard to cope, it was
more trouble living it, than
cherishing it!

Life is never an easy street
takes courage, determination
belief to be strong enough to
cope with what comes our
way in every direction.

We must pave our own road
through strife, becoming stronger
in the faith of love, learning every
second, we are alive.

Cherishing life is our treasure
the harder the better, smoother
the road, for in learning we
become strong, wise and
maybe a teacher in the end!

Some time ago I met this person again
they said! 'They had learned to cherish
life through loss'! and became
strong in faith and love.

So even though life brings much sorrow
it is our gain, our teacher, our true
reason for living worthy, this short
life we live here on earth.

I swim in the pool of tranquility
I gaze at the fireflies in the night
I cannot see the sadness that flows
just the peace within my soul in
times when I'm alone.

I write my poems in solitude when
darkness falls and light radiates
inspiration through and through.

I cannot see what it is for me to see
when it stares back and cannot be
touched only thoughts forming words.

I believe deeply, the truth has it's own special
power, it's own expression of love that
completes our magical reasoning.

How enchanting it feels to cross the
path you've waited so long to cross in
life's challenge, attempting to accomplish
the impossible dream.

Come dance with the stars capturing your
thoughts, that will be released without
force or discomfort upon your quiet gestures
in just one moment, calmly dispenses
invisible fragrance throughout your being
in the silence of your solitude.

Force not the heart to surrender toward
un-truth not meant for soul food, just open
up your mind and let the words flow.

Memories were not all happy, they had a touch of sadness
through a lifetime of knowledge, stars never always
sparkled like diamonds appearing in the velvet heavens
one by one.

Summer of life was never that bright, it never showed me
that silver lining, just the lining before the silver, promises
were never promises, just empty words.

The freshness of the rose was always fresh, the thorn
****** were more than the beauty and freshness, the harder
the *****, the deeper the wound.

Each bridge crossed, was another one closer to each
chapter finished, chapters of meanness, cruelness, friction
coldness keeping away the warmth.

The book is finished, put away, never to be read again, the
story is over, another one is just beginning, the opposite of
the story before.

Never know when life will change before our eyes changing
everything we thought we knew.

In each story, there will always be a touch of sadness to hide
away the light, but miracles happen when eyes open, realizing
the thrill of living is unforgettable.

In my life, I have deeply loved with all my heart
from the day I learned to know how mother
nature made me one with her.

Nothing made me so happy to walk among the stars in the evening and
among the flowers in the day.

I have loved everything that passed my way in my life
the skylarks, birds of all kinds keeping time to each heartbeat,
the fireflies around in the summer night making
all awake and alive.

The kiss of the ocean breeze on my cheek while I walked
among the seashells and driftwood faded by the sun
the sound of the waves singing their own song under
skies of wonder and warmth.

The pine trees blowing in the wind, strong with
pride and glory, kissing each day with maybe
a final good-bye.

I have loved much more with deep awareness
never forgetting how mother kept me alive with
her brightness, restoring my bruised confidence
her beauty brought me faith in my heart that
love could bring all nations together.

I have loved to the extent of pleasure-loving each
soul God made of his own image, and through
life, till the day I breathe no more, shall I love deeply.

I have loved and cherished my children God let me share
for a while in my life..My children are the breath I take
my food of happiness, the art of glory that captures
each scene of beauty appearing in God's universe.

Have no hate to share, since I have no concept of it's
meaning! Loving is all I know and always shall know
Mother taught me at a very young age the meaning
of love with every sound of nature, majestic surroundings
that only love exists, nothing about hate, only brightness
of heart and soul excepting what each day brings with delight.

How can we hate when there is nothing but beauty
for us to see? it continues on day after day with a
the different scene for us to rejoice, and smile along
our miraculous journey, we have wondrous treasures
among the mighty Universe in all, it's heavenly glory.

Yes! I have deeply loved, my treasured life, right in front of me
worth living every day, with a thankful heart, a happy smile for
those who have never smiled from deep within.

We must all reach out to heaven's above and Thank
God for all we have! All we really need to live for in grace
is to follower the blueprints of our Master.

I hope in life! our children will be blessed, we will find the
true meaning of living in his glory, warmth grows always
without a trace of evil.




(Find your love, it's just underneath the divinity of our
beloved soul.)

In this quiet night of love, she
thawed threw the ice, melting
away from the coldness of gloom
and confusion.

Must have been the time to feel
the gravity that hid away in
the distance, never showering
away from her mystified shade in
silent refrain.

Carefully the touch continued
on with compassion, and the
stars once again sparkled
like they never did before
the storm touched down and
chased away each fear.

In the silence of night glass
became filled with awareness
one more time before it leaked
out slowly with few regrets.

Now, without concern, filtered
smoke disappeared, no more
reason to have it return, cause
the silence has entered, clouds
have no reason to cover away
the truth..

In the misty garden of my youth, I lay down
at the bottom of my Sadie cove, struggling
with answers to many questions, I only wish
I knew in the summer of my life!

Through each of my thoughts, I watch the
seasons disappear, knowing if living was
different than the way I lived it, trees
would be a little lovelier, flowers brighter
with fragrance filling blue skies with
wonderment.

Limitations hold back many from there
destiny, confusing it with logic instead
of desire; ruled by a higher power, meant to
materialize smoothly in realms of light
brightening shadows, bringing tranquil
knowledge, born of life to those who seek
the truth of souls deepest connections
purified in the perfect formation of
love's sweet divinity.

Bring back the streams freshened by
the sun, windy shades of color
manifest dreams in the darkness
of green golden mountain peaks
lie still, magi k appearing before
that misty garden in the winter
of my incredible life.

Time of great glory flows deeply in
tune of loves sweet memories of
living life to the fullest.
