Aura of Autumn

Breath-taking beauty,

Above brown and gold leaves fly,

Pumpkins’ glowing eyes.

Celesta

A picture of loveliness is she,
In a gown revealing all her humility.
Gingerly she steps and whirls,
With that mirthful blush of little girls.

Brilliant and starry are her eyes,
Her lips are crimson as the sunrise.
Gracefully she moves to a musical beat,
And melodious lyrics her voice utters so sweet.

Nimble and Quick

It’s the first Olympics on the moon,

And the crowd is all in helmets and suits.

Out walks the champion at the crack of noon,

And kicks the moon-dust from his boots.

The pole-vault is the upcoming event,

But no high bar is seen in the sky.

Aloft in a rocket module the champion went,

To his homebound spacecraft flying high.

The Eye of a Needle

God, tell me the mystery of your will.

For as far as I can see is your majesty.

The desert is as small as the eye of a needle.

And it is, in this paradise, a travesty.

The flowing springs are sparkling clear and cool,

And they water the green foliage and flowers.

From hill to hill, beauty is on display,

And, in every direction, proof of your growing powers.

Concupiscent Cycle

Nymphs, of course, take all the money,

And it turns into plutonium like its funny.

The plutonium fuels the nuclear power,

And vapor explodes from the tower.

The steam engine starts to spin,

With the alternator hooked in.

The current flows like the ocean,

Putting the machinery into motion.

The machine gets to oscillating the lamp,

And nymphs go marching down the ramp.

Bronze Star

From the ambience of the boundless sky,

A twinkling and perfect bronze star,

As if a saint had gotten spry

And left the everlasting ajar.

The splendor of the palace beds

On the corner of the firmament

Where ice cloud and star weds,

Beyond all chills of any extent.

The twilight verse of the turtledove

Awakens us at morning's dawn

Convergence

We met—my love and I—at a cozy bus depot.
Throbbing with desire, she strolled into my arms.
Once our hearts knew immense delight, we both know.
She is my bonne vivante of fanciest charms.

A gentle kiss we shared for sweet remembering.
With the golden future of nostalgia warming our merriment,
The fervor of the heavens her voice began to sing,
With her song she undresses the sky like undraping firmament.

Desire So Deep

We are but isles in the sea of storms,

Thrown out asea to deal with our qualms.

And how my soul wishes to see, once more,

Those lush hills rising on your shore.

Your lacy trees laden with nature’s bliss,

Fruit as sweet as a maiden’s kiss.

But our realms are cleaved by stormy gales

And waves beyond the dream of sails.

Yet your lighthouse glows in the dawn,

And there is life eternal in your heart’s song.

Mobility Of The Sun

My Lord, you are the Poet,
Who notes me with thy strong hands.
I can only aspire to know it
And extend thy word to all known lands.

You have set in me for the sun
A tabernacle for his regal throne,
From which he arises for his daily run
Throughout heaven's every zone.

Each morn I await his excellent ascent.
Onward with his golden lamp of God,
He begins at one end of the firmament
And runs on with the light of Aaron's rod.

Garden of Faith

Death disrobes the body of our fancy garments,

And clothes us with more common fashion:

A mere loincloth of sky blue silk,

So that we may feel the warm passion,

Of resurrection’s gorgeous spring

And the spiritual blessings it will bring.

So sleep on calmly with Jesus,

Beneath your coverlet of blue skies,

And know that the summer garden of ease

Will be there when you arise,
