Phineas, son of Belus,
privileged for only want.
Will you accept true merit
integrity holds for you?

T’was not lack of doubt nor clout
strength, but pride denied your prize.
Fight and flight! Valorous plight!
Surely she should be here now.

Bitterness your consolation.
Which this, you take so eagerly; gingerly.
Andromeda wretchedly stolen away!
Cruelly mocked by him; Winged Betrayer!
Her with her complacent laughs.

O beauty thou art

when thy face half concealed
cometh out in the open
let all eyes see the beauty
that thou hidest

behind veiled covers

let me feel the vibrancy of thy countenance
as to the world thy beauty thou dost reveal

I am just a loner passer by
in the world of admirable beauty
can you now let your face reveal?
what lies ahead for me...

If you want to see me

through my eyes
then unveil my friend
your beautifuller eyes.....
love lies within my eyes...

Tutti Frutti

In my early teen years
gum was scarce to us kids.
Five girls two boys,
each uniquely creative,
we found ways to entertain ourselves.

We didn't chew much gum
or ate much candy,
mama and daddy got necessities
and cookie treats when they could.

My younger sister Janice Lynn
one day found sap on a spruce tree
in the yard near the road.
I couldn't imagine where she got the gum
she chewed.

What is this obsession
with which I feel so strong?
Heart-thump! Soul-fly! Mind’s eye!
Spirits thriving more for!

Sugared coffee mixture,
Icing cream to being.
Musical poetry?
Can not get rid of you!

So in this bliss, one cannot miss
obsession in my possession.
Thus must entrust, just lust encrust!
See I decree, be in with me!
Beginning now, my own future.
