GUESS WHO AM I

I am sea, I am sky

Down below, way up high

I’ve no wings but I can fly

I am outspoken, I am shy

Very brave, but I never try

I am true but I can lie

Very honest, but am a spy

Obedient, but I can defy

I am all these, who am I?

WORDS - talks walking by

🎼 I DRIFT AMONG THE STARS 🎶

🎼

I drift among the stars

Looking for where you are

Every twinkle tells a tale

As wind chimes in a gale

🎼

Fly beyond, over the moon

Hard to face the afternoon

Half of the day has gone by

To be walking the night sky

🎶🎶

Oh! Where else can I show

I’ve been up high and below

Teach me the way I should go

O Love, to you I lift up my soul

🎼

Thousand dreams for reasons

I’ve been through the seasons

Smiles, beaches, fall and frost

To discover it is I, who am lost

A SIMPLE LOGIC

A simple logic

No need to think

It’s no magic

White red or pink

Simple maths

‘Pies are square’

Mazed paths

Skin strips bare

Simple life

Brings fulfillment

Harakiri knife

Kills the moment

A simple way

Is an easy day

Afraid of nay

Sooner to clay

A simple quiz

Try to wiggle

Oh! Gee whiz!

Larf or giggle

AS I RECALL

As I recall

how we kiss goodnight

When shadows fall

And I hold you tight

Candle lights dinner

Just for two

Dancing, hugging manner

The whole night through

I wait daily at your front door

Oh! As usual, what a thrill

Just as it has been before

Then comes the winter chill

And whoosh! You are gone

A hopeful wait, till the sun frowns

In the treacherous wind, all alone

Till the lights go out, and I am down

The Secret Of All Your Secrets

What’s the secret of all your secrets?

There’s a revelation behind a mystery

A reality behind all you want to forget

With a past that is way beyond history

Why do you keep a secret?

For love or for awe?

Is it something you regret?

A debt that you owe?

Tell no one, and you are safe?

Protect a reputation, your self image?

Superficial small talk at a cafe

By codes in a book, a torn out page?

Do you have any self worth?

Something unique, a creme de la creme?

Speak out! And bring forth

That power, the dream within your dreams

THE MOUNTAINS CALL

The mountains call

Pattering waterfall

Early morning train

On the go again

Distant hills

Greeting mills

Winding canals

Nature’s little pals

Peaceful streams

As from my dreams

Snowy rain

Across the plains

Sunny blue sky

Cottages flashing by

Sleepy dwarfed houses

Sensuous nature arouses

Smiling meadows

Peaks of snow

Slopes of green

In scenes serene

Stillness of a lake

From the deep awake

Rainbowed pleasantry

Weaving its tapestry

SPOTLIGHTS IN THE NIGHT

Spotlights in the night

Shining from the stars

Steal the twinkling of the night

Silently locating where you are

Stillness sets my soul on fire

Surrendering to the whims of night

Searching for my heart’s desire

Sweetness lingers on my lips delight

Showering charms of magic

Shadows, slashing to curtail

Strikes of lightning in a frantic

Shooting star lighting up a trail

Stardusts sprinkle from on high

Setting up a stage for my dream

Soothing sparkles from your eyes

Shyly, quietly, you share my dream

A ROSE

A rose blooms shyly in the garden

Fine wine flows freely in the cellar

The lark sings, nigh to the heaven

Sweethearts say hi, gals and fellas

As the desert longs for the rain

Peace grows strong, hope endears

Love is a song in sweet refrain

to belong together, year by year
