Embrace new wave
Come dance, advance, no strings attached,
except of harp or violin,
authenticity unmatched
shall shed lies, ties that bred chagrin.
Thus inner doors may be unlatched,
contradictions' gins cave in
Embrace new wave, surf safe, unscratched;
soul wakes, breaks compromising sin.

Beyond Beyond
BEYOND BEYOND
Two thralling eyes, unlatched,
Attractive and unmatched,
Reveal, no strings attached,
Signs seeking to respond
In many ways beyond
Eternity, beyond
Restrictions, to true bond.

Investment Fund – For Lucinda
Lost time by Time will never be returned,
Use every moment to the full, - you’ll see
Creation triumph over sloth and be
In years to come the fund from which is earned
New hope, new scope, in total liberty.
Do not delay, misplay, for bridges burned
Are not rebuilt without much grief as fee…

Upon the Lawn - 0088 - Current Version
Upon our powder lawn tonight
bright crystal carpet, cotton white,
soon morn may dawn, spawn golden ray
to spirit sprinkled snow away.
.
Yet with a little luck we might
enjoy the sight and share delight,
until snow thaws in April, May,
with Jack Frost lost to glass display.

Crossed Lines
Here inklings linking lines of thought
are threaded neatly, simply brought
to heel, reined in, discreetly taught
to underscore ideas. Here’s sought
communication vectors caught
in lightning insight flash, both short,
coherent, to the point! ... Now ought
I not recall what I meant to write about?

Change Challenge
Churned energies must stir accumulated dust.
Hereafters show scant scope for blossoms fresh to flower.
Aired options in Cornucopia & Co evaporate bare rust.
New mantle don to save eleventh hour.
Gather, before you sup, Life’s roses, perfumed power,
Exhilaration s[c]ent. Who’d in Tomorrow trust?

Say-Yin's Yang
What would you say if on this day
one waved wand washing walls away
refurbishing renascent dream
to smooth all cares as twinned hearts team.
What would you say if interplay
smoothed out loose ends to start new way
to serendipity whose stream
could flow forever, brightest beam.

Jenny at the Demonstration after James Leigh Hunt Jenny Kissed Me
Copper slugged me when we met,
jumping from the bus he’d sat in!
Magistrate, who loves to get
demonstrators jailed, put that in!
Say I fought the Poll Tax fad,
say that “conscience clear†describes me,
say I’m doing time, but add, -
Copper slugged me!

Hope's Perceptive Intuition
Life's kaleidoscope
Enchants, energizes
Triumphantly surprises.
Time-free telescope
Harmoniously helps cope,
Expectantly revises
Restrictions, compromises,
Evil horoscope -
Bubble-trouble soap -
Exploding, vaporizes.
Hope's manifold disguises
Open stethoscope.
Perceptive intuition
Engineers fruition...

Doubts
Is it already time to part? So soon
Summer ending just as it begun.
April fools July those glad in June
Brief joysous moments when two felt one.
Essential osmosis, hearts in tune,
Linked life to life-line, seemed strong as sun,
Linked lighthouse beams beneath the moon,
Eternity squandered, its span done.
