Happy Birthday Ilene
Today is your Birthday
Thousand of memories
Cross my mind...
While still my heart
Shakes like an earthquake
Within the shadow of time past....
Happy Birthday my love! ! !
Thanks for those great moments
We once so dearly shared...
Also, thank the Lord! !
For sending me such a beauty
Which I didn't realized
But I still recall.....
Happy Birthday my love
Your name has been stamped
In another chapter
Of the book of my life
Thanks again my love

Words and Reason
Words-stringed together in rhyme,
Simple melodies I have played
Or strings pulled from my own mind,
I see them again,
Behind the white-lined blackness
Of tomorrow's time
Delineated by day and hours
And each remaining
Between tow ends of a page,
Then, there is a beginning again,
A fresher place to play
An old tune refined
As if never heard before
And breaking through the barrier,
I resolved to try once more
To regain the reason,
For believing in today again,
A purpose that seemed secured

A Broken Heart
Where the ends of life meet
A boundary is broken
Overstepped and outreached
Another creed spoken...
This is the end for me
And that''s why it is
Truly a beginning
As one for both of us...
Have there ever doubts?
I cannot remember
Anything saved that night
Two years since December...
All that you offered me
Every happiness
Has been my disbelief
That I should be so blessed...

Tears Rolling Down
Open notebook
Closed mind
A poet's crime-
Devoid of rhyme!
Sinister tale
A fear that ails
And cripples me...
She would love
To have my name-
I know her well
She persists-
But has she changed
To someone else
Who is melting down
On my desk
As a simple thought
In other word,
A shadow woman
Without a form?

Traces Of Time
Anchored to nowhere,
Blank pages upon my mind,
A word or two of stillness,
Scribbled blindly in the fog...
Companion of phrase,
Tiptoes furtively out the back door
Becoming fearful of stumbling
While rhyme and reason
Slip senselessly through the floor...
Unlimited dullness,
Swaggering with a meaningful gait,
Enters the flattened obscurity,
Deepening within intervals of silence...
Disconnected illusions,
Thin and shriveled at the edges,
Trailing a flutter of withered leaves,
Coloring the traces of Time...

The Sound of Nature
I begged the sky to hold off
But it answered me with such a sound,
The clouds raised their puffy lids
And tears came tumbling down...
(By surprise) cursed thunder first
Followed by a quieter prayer,
Then, with hesitation wept,
The grieved windows of the spheres...
I nodded and descended,
So familiar was the plea
That no rejoinder I made
And Let the damp weather be...
I, too, knew that the darkness
Was merely a passageway
Beguiling travelers of truth
Through steps of uncertainty...

The Arms Of Love
Illuminate my soul
As the sun greets the sky
In the morning and closes
The night with a thousand kisses
That seal each breath it unfolds
Within the arms of love...
And the clouds paint a name,
Your name, of course,
Pale, like a signature
First written over a plain
White horizon-fleshly the hand
Reveals the promise taken
In hand at heart's command...
Through the silence-a voice
Lingers in treetops singing,
Calling out words
Invested in infinity-
Calling your name aloud

Be Aware My Love
Do these words of mine that live in ink
Reach the echoes of your silent heart?
It, at last, our quiet lips should meet
The mingling of our breath would then speak
The truth, and the truth be made aware
That I love you more than you can hear...
This is for you, stranger, who would be
My wife, my companion, my love
For all of time, both mine and yours
Are one and the same forevermore
Believe me! I need you by my side,
You are my strength, my hope and my guide...
I love you with all my heart!

My Conscience
My conscience is invisible
And cannot be traced
To any particular object or place
When it is pursued by ridicule!
If it would fairly avoid confrontation
And it went its own course,
It would find in remorse,
The courage of self-proclamation!
No one else may follow its direction
Since its path, as soon as chased,
It is definitely erased
With marked misleading comprehensions
Based on reasons which it has a collection
And it has been gained by artifice
But it cannot resist
The intrinsic art of reflection!

The Trail Of Love
There is a region in the World
Which has no boundaries
Nor barriers either physical or mental
Restricting the passage of pilgrims
To the hollowed land
Of communication...
One cannot arrive
By boat or engine
Nor fly on the steel wings
Of bird machines
For there is one transport
And it takes two
To travel the inspiration of love...
Come! The path
Clears before us,
It is near! Hand in hand,
Let's discover the way
To each other-
