Beauty Discreet
red, with silvery glitter,
thy move my hand I jitter
to write these words of love, and litter
thy hearts charms on thy somber face
the holy writ of effeminate grace
veiled by whites of angel lace
Doth beauty hide
Somewhere inside
Thy look doth confide
In chaste secreet
Thou live discreet
Thy beauty underneath
in love beneath...

Fate Does Not Hear Me Cry For You
Fate does not hear me cry for you
Tears like trumpets so gently lament
Truth is I love you, you I love I do
I'll cry for you till love's tears are spent
On fate to bring me closer to thee
My love, a mystery,
In mystery my love is true…
Fate hears but does not know who I cry too?
In mystery I wait and leave fate up to you....

Terse Verse
Terse little verse, gold from beauties purse
In my soul thou so give
And on its worth my life I live
Terse little verse, gold from beauties purse
Love is a morsel of thine treasure
In one ounce is my immense pleasure
Terse little verse, gold from beauties purse
Sing like a muse
and in poetry fuse
my soul into verse from beauties purse

Why?
They play my tears away, and still I cry for still I don't know why?
Why? The question one will always ask
Why? The question painted on truth's mask
Why is music so beautiful, so mysterious and yet reveal?
What is true, what is false, imagination and real?
Music play my tears away and I'll cry till I die, for I will never know why….

To Die In Love's Heart Forever
My soul touched her sense
Her body touched my soul
To love we propense
One we become whole
Encircled in one heart
Turbulent we seeth
Together we depart
In love we believe
A heart on a leaf
Succored by its green
Our poetic motif
Where our love is seen
Live in our heart forever
In true love's seat
We earnestly endeavor
In love to always beat

Beautiful Death
Time with chisel doth carved many line
In thine countenance wrinkled thou lay supine
In front of my eyes I see beauty bear
Death as dotage thine heart's only wear
Underneath thy raiment doth love subtly grow
Into me as I look at life of love thy soul did show
A beautiful death, is a beautiful life
With life and death there is no need to strife…

I HeartSense
My ear presses against thy heart
I hear it beat, we art never apart
My hand blesses thy hearts prayer
And its love, mine hand wear
My eyes feast on thy heart crimson red
By its nectar, mine heart eyes are fed
My palette taste thine heart sweet
And by my tongue, thy soul I meet
My nose senses thine hearts perfume
Wert in my heart thy heart consume…

Depression
Despondency fills what is not there
Elusive happiness, happy one can not be
Pulsating pain, death doth dare
Ruining my soul, my soul in me
Exuding somber heat into my face
Shriveled from sadness most burning wrath
Sorrowful with no love to grace
In a rue, a doleful path
Odious, ominous, the worst yet to come
Never ending depression, to thee I succumb.

Solace
Thy body sob in sickness and thou decay
Thy soul flowers in the sun the son of God's day
What we can't see, God sees with God's eyes
God picks thine flower thy earthly body dies.
In a garden behind God's golden gilt gate
Where thou breathe life and sweetly aerate
The realms of heaven with thy flower's breath
Where thou live forever and surpass death…

Silence
I awake to silence and in silence I sleep
Silence to silent me, I silently weep
Away in silence for silence to hear
The sorrow in between both mine ear.
I think in silence, I mediate in peace
Thinking peacefully in silence I cease
All the sorrow that embosoms me
All the silence, that silence be
Whatever silence is, for silence tis
My beauty, my desire, my Adonis
