Divine Prose
I have very often wondered
Whether my deeds really mattered,
Or whether life was just absurd.
With its preordained peaks and lows,
Life, is written in divine prose,
From its start to its tragic close.
But then I came to realize
That the sun continued to rise
Shifting colors before my eyes.
As I thought about that decree
Life was born and life ceased to be,
And all ignorant beings ran free.
So now I breathe on, and live on
Although I am but a mere pawn.
Therell always be another dawn.

Flora Existentialis
To my lady fair, forever fleeing,
On this harken, for our lives are fleeting...
I stress upon thee, lifes truest meaning,
So cares lot may cloak not, thy hearts screaming.
Reach for skies at the newborn flowering,
As rise we must from deceit devouring.
Witness we flowers that brightness savour,
Imbuing with charms that cease not ever.
Though they be transient, they do out call,
Hearing their names sung long after they fall.
Learnings from such flowers I pray thee take,
In times misguidance, lest thou shalt mistake.
Kiss, I say, henceforth all pleasures in view,
End well thus and none shall begin anew!

From The Heart Of Man
The mind, a field of boundless dreams
Where all hopes are free to float and fly,
Where love for all flows in gentle streams,
A place where one can dance in the sky...
A place where one is free to live and love,
And play with the angels gliding above.
Smile everyday at the sweet morning sun,
And all thy troubles will be undone...
Fill the day with song and dance,
And happiness thou shalt find.
Brave the dark and with courage advance,
Into a life unforgiving and unkind...
Live like thou had never lived before,
And with vitality overflow, from the core...
Glide through life like a butterfly,
Earn the joy that none can deny...
A time to run and a time to rest.
Watch Earths beauty as it dominates.
Prevail in life and succeed its test,
Crumble to dust will heavens gates.

Moonlight Lover
In the moonlight, with fair face
She stands, with longing eyes.
So advance, with unfaltering grace,
With all the love under starry skies.
And with thy lover, dance away
In the brilliance of the night.
Swing her around, watch her sway,
And satisfy thy loves appetite.
Make her spin about those gentle wrists,
Love her in a ways shed never expect.
She'll find joy in her twirls and twists,
And that night she will never forget.
