71...Questions

How does this darkness
help the grass grow,
challenge unanswered pain,
not poison the soul?

How does it help me see
the rivers waters flow,
the rainbow over the clouds,
the laughter in sorrow?

How does this tempest
dancing in the darkness
reconcile with the stars,
break down this black tent?

How does it bring deliverance,
help me create heaven,
fulfill the simplest dreams,
make me whole again?

Somebody tell me how
do I reach those shores,
sail this sea of discontent,
maintain life’s allure?

Not content with sadness,
sordid shades of unrest.
Deny me the cry
but not the laughter.

Deny me the bitterness
of unrepentant sadness
but not the flavor of life,
unmitigated happiness.

Bring back the aura of the smile
so I may live again,
so I may love again,
so it all makes sense.

69...Sonnet XLIV

Love is not an operation of performance.
It's displayed as sentiments of loyalty
and in the works of genuine devotion,
caring, listening and understanding.

In the infancy of my vanity and conceit
a misspent youth did not heed these pearls.
And in my selfish arrogance as a man
could not grasp the concept of this world.

Then you came with your gentle attributes
common sense approach so charming and lovely
to humble me into enlightenment and believe,

you're the best thing that can happen to anybody.
Be mindful of these endearing qualities
when a King comes forth looking for a Queen.

68...Sonnet XLIII

Do not be confused with my expressions
or my impressions of you as extraordinary
For all the meaningful things I've written for you
have not been said to another so eloquently.

Nor can I imagine at this vulnerable stage
denying the muse that is still to discover
the hidden depths and beauty of your soul
with verses in your name and none other.

Let the mystery of it all demonstrate how
uncomplicated it is to love you all the time.
Study my words, my emotions and mind

The sacrifice I make to your happiness in kind
at the accepted risk of compromising mine,
learn from this man, you matter much in my life.

66...Sonnet XLII

My dreams are not lost in you woman... rather
they are enriched and expanded upon as intended.
Just the simple fact your smile reached me
that in itself added to the whole dimension.

Designed for a simple heart like mine
you are part of a concept that flourishes.
It's inception in the pools of your eyes
forever holds a muse for my imagination.

What good and worthwhile are my dreams
if you are not part of its essence,
the colors and breath of life that sustains it

with your beauty, charm and tenderness.
Qualities and traits of a real-life dreambow
that begins and ends with you my princess.

65...Sonnet XLI

With your permission I will love you as I do
until my heart or time tells me otherwise.
I don't expect your lips to touch mine again
or you hear my heart breaking one last time.

It's just the way things are, have always been
your special Love cannot be divided into two.
Though selfishly I may be content with that
its certainly not what I wish for me and you.

Pardon the conclusions that envelop my mind
in prophetic clarity amidst my pain and denial.
You healed my heart and gave me hope,

invigorated my dreams into something wild.
Though not entitled to have you entirely
I beg of you...don't deprive me of your smile.

64...I've seen things

I’ve seen bottoms of clouds
so close I can touch.
From high above the ground
I’ve seen pastures I love.

I’ve lost my feet in the air.
my head in the clouds.
Seen the sun as never before,
all my senses aroused.

I’ve seen the wind take me,
lift me up freely.
In a dream of dreams
I’ve flown insanity.

I’ve seen me not pretend
to know how to fly
but do impossible
kiss the clouds passed by.

I’ve seen me not pretend
to be a mere mortal
see your face in the clouds,
hear the wind your name call.

I’ve seen what the seagull sees
as real as the ocean blue.
Fantasy as reality
fairytale come true.

All theses things I’ve seen
lying here beside you
in a perfect dream
where Asian flowers bloom.

A place you have nurtured
with candy lips treats.
A special place indeed
where your love has taken me.

I’ve seen flowers blossom
the sunset and full moon
but never love like yours
where all these fantasies bloom.

A recurring lucid dream; Inspiring the verses of this poem and "That Dream".

Man is able to fly but only in dreams...I was one of these fortunate mortals.

63...Sonnet XXXII

Rainbow of the night nestled in my arms
let me whisper a poem in your ear.
Listen to the soothing words I speak
as we unravel a passion that is clear.

Let the temperature of my warm breath
fill your neck and skin with excitement
in quiet anticipation hearts pounding
clinging to every word spoken.

Drawing you closer with each line;
written for you and I...with us in mind.
Let me fill your heart with a poem

that seduces your mind in delight.
Close your eyes, feel and listen to
my hands writing our own story tonight.

62...Sonnet XL

As foretold, she saw me instinctively
from afar sitting on a stoop thinking of you
with hand under chin and starry gaze
she sought to inquire of me if she could.

The truth about the color of my aura
as she sat shoulder to shoulder next to me
in undeniable presence and silence.
When curiosity turned my busy eyes

to the whisper in my ear asking me timidly
"What are you ogling at?" as I simply replied
"At Love" but she said "How could this be?"

"When I am Love! who's been seeking your eyes
for an eternity to dwell in your heart so true.
Come: take a second look at me here by your side".

61...Sandcastles

A smile is turning into dust,
a face is crumbling sad.
Cold winds blowing, slowly eroding
sandcastles on the sand.
Unspoken words across the sky
murmurs of a heart afraid
speak abundantly clear,
the castles you built no longer stand.
Washed away with the tides
and cold winds surprise,
good intentions gave way
to misguided trust and fear.
The game that was played
experiments explored,
served only to topple
what was built in my heart.
From this cup I drink
drunk on confusion, disappointment
garnished with pain
disillusion and resentment.
As I venture towards the horizon
with fleeting glimpses along the shore
all I see now are strange footprints
where sandcastles once stood.

60...Sonnet XXXIX

Happiness is the instrument of love
that's been looking for you endlessly.
Conceived with you in mind it sought a place
within the depths of your eyes to be lively.

It took kind to your caring fashion
artistic smile that brought forth the Sun
It heard your voice proclaim its beauty
with glee in more ways than one.

And now finally it has come to your shores
that ship full of dreams and hopes to no end
to unload its gifts, treasures and pleasures.

Grant you for a while a little bit of heaven
of the kind that is really special and matters
when two people fall in love all over again.

59...The Promise

The Life that I've had
cannot be taken away
only the breaths
that pardon my stay

Where one journey ends
the final one begins.
My soul in Paradise
in slumber awaiting

to be awakened justly
for one day and forever,
walk heaven on earth
in his Majesty's presence.

Deemed worthy to behold
the King that summoned me
to let me roam the heavens free,
fulfill my true destiny.

58...Sonnet XXXVI

Bewitching hour offering an enigma tonight;
A classic angel standing before me in the dark
with a profound hurt coming from the heart.
Looking to share the aurora and a handful of stars

of once upon a time seeking nourishment
hungering for genuine love and attention.
Now feathered wings caressing my being
found me worthy to gift love and affection.

On this starry night devoted completely to you,
permit me to be yours once more my lovely.
For your sultry red moon has opened a just path

for my quivering lips to bear unconditionally.
As two people love each other for one night;
two hearts are confused for the rest of eternity.

57...Sonnet XXXIII

Within your delicate loving hands
a variety of dreams were conceived.
Formed in muses of joy and gladness
your devoted affection filled me.

Within your beloved hands and embrace
the colors of the aurora dawned on me,
falling upon my head lying in your bosom
in perfect posture stroking me gently.

I realized how fortunate is the man
you allow to dwell within your mighty wings
to keep your smile everlasting.

Of this I wonder and obliged in asking;
When will your loving hands be on me again
to experience your brand of magic?

56...Sonnet XXXVII

 

Every time you call me "Love"
something inside of me springs alive
that moves me to love you even more
feel what I feel for you all the time.

As any man should standing before you
admiring uncompromising integrity.
Listening, understanding in few words
when you most expect it from me.

Speaking not of secrets but of our desires
dutifully nurturing my devotion daily
honoring our precious vows of loyalty.

When I hear you say "Love" so lovingly
time stands still for me to listen to
a sigh of gladness...my heart skipping a beat.

55...Sonnet XXXV

Last night I stopped dreaming of you,

waiting on you when you're not expected.
You did not see me huddled in the corner
whispering your name in pain and anguish.

You did not see how my last teardrop
traced the sadness from my face,
rolled down into a glass of wine
that stood by me in my dark place.

A teardrop mingling among the spirits
a solution stirring up the awkward silence
highlighting the absurdities of being in love

a state of confusion so magnificent.
Last night I stopped dreaming with you
my world explained...I just couldn't help it.

54...Masks

Which mask shall I wear today
as I step unto this stage?
Life has so many scenes
where the truth has no face.

Masks worn to hide the pain
hide the smile when it breaks
conceal the deafening cry
of fallen spirits from grace.

This scene will be unrehearsed,
masks shall not be needed.
Truth is the star of this epic role
this epilogue chapter unfolded.

There will be no encores or sequels
no audience to applaud.
These perfect masks I’ve collected
will be gathered and tossed.

Cast off the edge of infinity
with all my sorrows and woes,
shortcomings, flaws and frailties.
The recipe of a tormented soul.

I’ll take my final bow now
close the curtain one last time
but keep the spotlight on me
to remind you of my eternal smile.

53...Sonnet XXIV

Sitting here gazing through window pane
daydreaming with your smile beyond the sky.
Listening to the the clock ticking away
irreverent pendulum crying time.

Announcing all the seconds gone by
since last you were by my side,
slowly becoming the saddest hours
the longest days ever of my life.

Haunting poignant echoes of time
resounding with sobering reality,
emphatically remind me unkind

that yesterday is a far distant memory.
Today...I am left to wonder once again;
Who is loving you more than me?

52...Sonnet XXI

Tell me all with one simple kiss,
your piercing eyes gazing at me.
Let the motions of your hands carry me
to that special place I lone to be.

Surround your total being around me
pressing your bosom close to mine.
Submit me to your clouds of bliss
to unleash the flavors of your wine.

Oh love me crazy this time around
don't leave me in this state of suspense
deprived of your loving touch.

For I am in love, this much I must confess.
Words may fail but your kisses won't
Oh Sweet rainbow tell me all with a kiss.

51...Sonnet XII

Tell me what you feel my love.
Tell me what you think I should hear.
Speak to me with verse and prose
from the heart and without fear.

Share with me your intimate desires
honestly and with sincerity.
Tell me what exists deep down inside
so I may embrace it lovingly.

Express in your own gentle way
what is necessary for me to realize,
what no longer can be denied.

Of the sweet mysteries of life
proclaiming with advent surprise,
It is you I must love all the time.

50...Sonnet XXX

You placed your gentle hand over mine
to tenderly speak with your touch.
Placed your loving hand over my eyes
so I may imagine your mighty wings of love.

And as your hand rolled down upon my face
mine eyes closed in quiet anticipation
your gentle palm graced my lips
to immerse me in your sensuality.

Lost in the softness of your skin,
delicate fingers engaging me,
your loveliness driving me wild.

It was then the light of day came upon me
and I noticed you watching closely
how your loving hand controlled me

49...Sonnet XXIX

Yesterday, time stood still in a moment of forever
as I held you close and sweet face caressed.
Your eyes closed, feminine wiles enchanting me
spellbound I stood at the edge of heaven.

From whence my kisses came as butterflies
to touch the tenderness of your eyelids.
An array of butterflies formed in gentleness,
kiss by kiss falling upon your sweet skin.

My darling how sweet it is to love you
What agony when I am not by your side.
Yesterday I had you in my arms

yearning to feel butterflies in my eyes
but that was yesterday, today I wonder
close my eyes, think of you as you were and sigh.
