A NOCTURNAL TRYST

a great blue moon hang on the summer sky

illuminating an image entering an open gate

a garden of lilies and daisies have fallen asleep

by the soft caresses of the morning breeze.

two shadows merged in a locked embrace

hand in hand they strolled along a narrow lane

into a sanctuary, a candle warmly glowed

as flares of passions sparked and burned.

the face of sheer joy rested on her heaving chest

oblivious of the tears welling in her eyes, shut.

resurrecting the throbs of their youthful years

one moment more before their time slip away

stars dissipated. The sun has risen over the hills

echoing the bliss of a nocturnal tryst.

AS MEANT TO BE...

as the water in a

meandering river

reaches the smallest

creek

it flows into the tiniest

crack

of parched earth,

so does love

as it seeks

the thirsty soul.

for a tiny seed

to push its roots

into dampened soil

it thrives with

the elements

so does mankind

with compassion,

even the hardened

heart flourishes

as meant to be.

OUR CREATIONS

what we seek beyond our imaginations

is that captive spirit waiting to be free

so we endeavor to form our creations

where ideas become tangible reality.

we find our voices to write from the heart

or paint our dreams in earthly colors

to compose music that illuminates our souls

we dance to its tempo as we roam our world.

the free will to create endowed at birth

impulsive at times but boundless

even in stillness there is a desire

that keeps urging us until it is done.

we seek not for perfection or fame

but to liberate our feelings and thoughtsyoung

and to behold our gifts from the divine

to foster peace and love for humanity.

we are led by spirit guides along the way

muses inspire us anytime of the day

we honor the universe with our own creations

their beauty and grace honor us back.
