Mozart's Miró  

Mozart and Miró leaving
All that is good,
All that they could,
Their movement effortlessly
Caresses our minds.
 
All notes, all strokes,
Without diminishment...
Genius without flaw.

 
What rapture...
What Godly qualities
Of pure love
For all to marvel.

 
Surely...
God's hand...
Touching Us all...
Through Art.

Spring Memories

In a bouquet filled landscape, where spring is everywhere...Life revels in an awakening of each new moment,
My favorite time for light showing off.

Every spring reminding me of fragrances calling out To memories past.

Where some can't stand to remember...I can't stand to forget.

Images compiling a life-file, that without, would seem empty and
meaningless...

The beauty of these memories consists only of what is good,

Cherishing each moment unique,
In a grandeur filled world,
Where Spring...
Is natures ultimate.

Love You From The Heart

Love thoughts from the heart,
The manipulation of words of love...
To a heart of gold.

Words and meanings
Evenly laid...
With tender moments rising,
Each more sweet
Than the one before.

Oh love,
How pleasing you are
To my every thought,
With an unspoken now
You draw near.

As a joy
Only the imagination
Can fathom.
Shattering all reservation...
All hesitation.

Your voice,
A wind song to my heart leaps...
As I
Am consumed
With your beauty.
