Dark nimbus clouds are threatening
But no! It won’t ruin my morning
For with Nature I’m communing
And to the Almighty I’m praying!
The wind is strong, trees are sway

Dusk it was
And the sky vermillion; I spy the
Dropping behind the nebulous blue
I walked along
The unspoiled ivory beach, mind tr

The soothing warmth of sunrise
Hazy glare from the window
When sleepy eyes we open
Primed ready for today’s show
Cornucopia of blessings

Once there was a lonely coconut tr
Atop a big hill by the deep blue s
It’s swaying in the breeze
And bending a few degrees
A foolish man scaling it dangerous

Few things in life do matter
That gives us satisfaction
Usually the end of things
The pure joy of completion
And a simple evening meal

I once knew a young lady everyone
And no one approaches her with gen
Her tongue a wicked knife
Her voice a high-pitched fife
She’s got malignity and viciousnes

And only a few days remain
Tension and excitement
Driving me insane
Soon we’ll be together

The pitter patter of the rain
As droplets hit the window pane
Soothed her much like a lullaby
And she found herself in a dream
Flying free, riding a moonbeam,

Bright lights all around the neigh
Putting everyone in a festive, hap
And in the airwaves, we hear holid
The malls brimming with persistent

Once upon a time there was an old
All by himself in a secluded mount
A rottweiler lived with him
Only ate cookies and cream
Sadly, he wouldn’t bark; intruders

Each time I see her
I’m convinced more and more
That heaven got it wrong
For I adore her
Forever she’s my Lenore

Yes, we can’t take it with us
Cash or treasures of any kind;
Hearse without a trailer, thus
How we leave the world behind!
And it’s a truth we oft discuss

A faint scent of jasmine
Stirred up an emotion
Long, long dormant
She wore it often
Her magic potion

After thirteen years
I bid farewell
To a faithful friend;
My constant companion
When I was all alone!

Someday... someone…
Will wander into your life
She’ll rock your world; turn it up
She’ll put an end…
To all of your emotional strife

I locked the past in a little box
Hidden in a corner of my mind
Around it, a yellow ribbon
That someone left behind...
Sometimes, I go and open it

A secret passion;
A peculiar indulgence
She kept from everyone
Except her conscience!
And for so many years

Ever after seems so far, far away
But it’s what we aim for every day
We pray our love forever will stay
Even after all our hairs turn gray
If we wish our adventure to succee
