Oh My Wondrous Sunflower

Oh my wondrous sunflower
How much you have grown
Your spirit is greater now
With a brightness that is shown


From a teeny tiny seed
You've blossomed with grace
Capturing every moment
Keeping a steady pace

Depicting one's emotions
You've taken center stage
A contagious grin forms
Within this curious age

Electrifying colors
You need not stand alone
Entrancing all admirers
With an enticing tone

Oh what enchanted light
My wondrous sunflower brings
To the chosen few
This beauty surely sings

Oh My Little Butterfly

Oh my little butterfly
coming out of her cocoon
You've blossomed & grew up so fast
perhaps way too soon

Full of joy and life
you spread your love around
Bringing smiles to every face
Laughter fills the silenced sound

Spreading your little wings
flying very high
Such a beautiful sight
to all passers by

Anticipation to catch a glimpse
children scurry fast
Hands wildly opened
Butterfly Cluster hopefully catching you at last

2007 Oh what a lovely prize
my little butterfly will be
Only to the lucky one
who'll love you endlessly

First Snowfall's Anticipation

Tiny particles forming high
Falling slowly from the sky
Taking shapes in all sizes
Clearing thoughts of demise

White speckles gliding freely
Covers all ever sweetly
Glistening silence surrounds us all
Running frantic through the hall

Grab your coat! shouts a voice
You're outside with this choice
Heartbeats pound once you're there
Undaunted cold you can bear

Falling backwards on the ground
With a thump makes this sound
Flailing arms with sweet embrace
Angels form within this place

Looking back to this glorious day
When the snow has come from far away
Children danced and played till night
Through these eyes what sweet delight

The Truths Soul Reflecting

Entranced by the softest smile
that engulfs the being
Imagining possibilities all the while
clarified magnetism beginning
Sweetness existing within the eyes
that be-stills the very core
Brightening the gloomiest skies
feelings that can't ignore
Closeness begets the purest soul
that forges through eternity
Making emotions feel so whole
brought forth by opportunity
Bewildered imaginings of the mind
unruly but so wise
Compelled to hearts of the kind
blissful with compromise
Wishful thoughts of the subconscious
surfaces to the opened
Masking all the contemptuous
times that mark no end
Creating new endeavors
with more understanding
Plays the rights of simple treasures
The truths soul reflecting

November 1 1999

Circumstances keep 'em apart
Stirring feelings from the heart

Binded through an eternal soul
Bleeds grief beyond control

Tortured mind bewilders all
Wondered expressions make the call

Magnetic being draws them in
It's up to fate to let it begin

Soaring through life's big journey
Corrupted with pain and agony

Seeking truth beyond the surface
Unruly acts that are quite selfless

Quiet longing from a distance
Bringing hopeful twists in reminiscence

Images flooding a budding core
Fearing things that are in store

Burning desires locked away
Knowing not to this day

Wanting to know if there is a chance
Afraid to look within this glance

Surges of insight within the mind
Powerful emotions make 'em blind

Intellectual stimulation entrances the spirit
Unwilling to live without it

Pursuit of knowledge for stability
Follows them throughout infinity

Matches made with strength and grace
Something loneliness just can't replace

June 15 1999

Awakened sensations unsuppressed at last
Happiness fills the inner void
Corrupted pains finally left in the past
Growing strength of spirit no longer destroyed

Smiles stretch across this face
Doubtful mind put at great ease
Hearts true contentment in this place
One thought left, aim to please

Perfection found in a blink of an eye
Gentle soul caressed by soft touch
Depths of respect can no longer deny
This one I've wanted so much

1999

Full of energy,
He knows not what's to come
No expectations,
His greatness has begun
Enigmatic smile,
He doubts what he knows
Softest eyes,
His composure surely grows
Selfless compassion,
He strives to please the undeserving
Contagious laughter,
His continual struggle for observing
Uplifted spirit,
He continues his journey
Trusted soul,
His presence soothes with deep serenity
Strong willed,
He can achieve full potential
Understanding heart,
His inspiration overcomes all obstacles

March 1999

When I get home from work
I am all alone
Can't sleep one wink at night babe
Don't know what's going on

Ever since I could remember boy
I've been yanked around
Don't know what to do anymore
Since I've been shot down
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

Can't shake this feeling inside
It's got me tangled up
No-one know why I cry honey
Can't seem to give it up

Last man I was with
Seemed to be ok
Except when he got angry Babe
I just couldn't get away
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

No-one wants to listen boy
Nothing good to say
I awoke that very morning
Please make the pain go away

Memories come back to haunt me
Don't know what went wrong
I said never again honey
Will this ever go on
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

Now I pray that I'll find
Someone who'll do me right
Don't know where to start
Without my peace of mind

I'm doomed from the beginning
Until my thoughts rest
Can't seem to stop screaming
Release the pain in my chest
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

When I get home from work
I am all alone
Can't sleep one wink at night babe
Don't know what's going on

Ever since I could remember boy
I've been yanked around
Don't know what to do anymore
Since I've been shot down
I've got the blues
Yeah Yeah I've got the blues

February 1999

Opiniated, chinup
I stand tall
For I am faced with those who
oppose all

Carefree, I chose my destiny
With reservation
For I am the few who believes
in continuity

Strong, my will is good
Without judgment
For I am a woman who'll
fight her opponent

Single, tears are shed
In respect
For I am condemned in solitude
in all aspects

Kindness, wounds will heal
With time
For I am a soul who
deserves no crime
