"lacelike" poems
Along I strolled a country path
spread with leaves of happy shade,
sunspots sprinkled on the turf,
insects humming in the glade.
Towering gumtrees soar aloft
running mauve to whitish tan,
strips of bark hang limply downward
richly capped with leafy crown.
The great bowl squats, it’s fan of
massive roots inumerable.
The leaves are wet
and silver sunlight sparks from sheen to sheen,
dazzling those who care to notice
moss so green,
and lacelike in it’s tiny brittle intricacy
Sunlight stirs the breeze to eddy
swirls of leaves in turn do bring
the brown eyed blackbird out to sing
his lilting challenge;
blue crisp air.
Delightful is the word I choose
to announce my sentiments,
nature in late summer gown,
drab winter in disgust
relents another day with thunderous frown.

I was crystalline, a lacelike floe of ice
And you in your inferno-storm melted me
But we both know what comes next
Evaporation will be the death of you and I

Death, that lonely tarot card.
A silent grim specter
No one wishes to see.
It impinges upon the norm.
Egyptian curses scarier, more real.
Lacelike spider webs, the coldest steel.
Leafless trees, silhouetted against the storm.
Efficiently bringing portentous change.

When somebody breaks my heart I become a cloudy day;
“How do I know it” is a funny question, maybe.
Yawning to the mirror, tryna smile with my lady...
Dear pillow might not guess my dreams are lack
Oh cute sleep, from that point, there is no turning back!
Year by year, my ego trip disappeared in the age-hood,
Openly see that the great experiences are keeping on cunning you, too;
Unless you reminisce where that you came from.
Hurry up and catch my hopes before they faded out in red,
Always remember that your position brings you up filled heads.
Teach me not like a rabbit but regard me as a carrot;
Eat me if I dare to abort your mind from your skull like a silly talktive parrot.
Miracles are derived from infinite skills for the man above the clouds,
Easy to get these lyrics as well as hard to live proud!
