Happy Birthday, Artful Dodger 2026
Happy Birthday, Artful Dodger 2026
A shower of stars appears in the night
To welcome the day that song took to flight
The voltage is charged to a stunning degree
The lightning that's coming to set the heart free
The thrill of the moment is nothing compared
To thrill of eternity where nothing is spared
How I defied all the misdirects thrown
Rendered no meaning to silence of stone
While trying to live with restrictions, my own
Since none were forthcoming from seat of the throne
Now that I'm nearing the end of this round
I find by the splendour and wonder I'm bound
I find at the last that the thought that came first
Not feeding of hunger but dying of thirst
For the love that can fill every nook of my soul
Nourishing life and making me whole
Where is the splendour that I sought
Still in you, it all is wrought
The wind upon the sea will say it best
It comes to me as riding on a crest
It carries all the body blows of sound
Words and voice are ringing all around
Great Heart creates the dream to spur me on
Sing the greatest tune of heart and song
Caroling 'til crescent of the dawn
Upon the crest of wave the sighs belong
I hold onto the dream, it's willing pawn
It wanders through to last a whole life long
I am becoming more and more amazed by how precise the foil is. Absolute duplicates in so many ways and, yet, so very different due to gender. What makes it even more fascinating is that we are, each, taking on the role that is most challenging for our gender. In fact, there is another way in which we have reversed the traditional roles. But, I get into all of that in the rhoem. Thank goodness that I have broken the barrier of fretting and moved on to acceptance of that which will be whenever it arrives. At this point, I can only hope the rhoems continue but this one was very satisfying. I have high hopes. It's not the frolicking, rollicking rhoetry with which I began this journey, but that seems unlikely to return for an obvious reason.
I could go on ... as you well know.
"Destiny"
Destiny
Destiny is seldom as it seems
From life to life, the love will see extremes
From loving of one lover to another
To loving child for sake of loving mother
A cry across all time for loving of
A soul that cries it's always been in love
"Bomb squad"
Bomb Squad
Like a skittish colt on Sunday morning
Or, bomb squad just receiving warning
Blood that burns like lava flowing rock
A mind like cheapest jewelry out for hock
Is me in your presence
"Do I miss you?"
Do I miss you?
As the Earth would miss the sun
Or butterfly its wings
Like sea would miss its water
Or Saturn miss its rings
As the sky would miss the blue
And bee would miss its sting
I've missed you through and through
From that moment in the spring
When your golden voice did sing
And images did ring
The heart did spring
"Whirlwind"
Whirlwind
In praise of a woman with wonderful eyes
Transforming expressions forever arise
The sweetest component, to ne'er realize
Her songs of the heart mesmerize
My celebration of her heart sustained in will and fire
The lifetimes will be many more, led by my heart's desire
To find new ways to celebrate the loving of that heart
And mesmerizing way she has from finish to the start
The whirlwind of emotions that cascade along her skin
It is my goal to circumvent the armour and the din
"Smooth"
Smooth
Like soft summer showers that light up the skin
Like warm, gentle touch of the loving within
So smooth, like the wash of the sea on the sands
Like jagged chain lightning ignites as it lands
Like two-twenty volts made of satin and lace
Like rockets exploding and gone without trace
The smoothness erupts and the shock comprehends
That loving will last as each heartbeat transcends
"Woman"
Woman
The briskness of a winter morn
The warmth of summer breeze
First light of day as it is born
A sigh among the trees
For Woman
Daffodils in garden growing
Falling leaves of color
Lovely as a freshet Flowing
All of life is fuller
With Woman
The wind that sings from far above
The heart that moves us on
The engine of unending love
That brings about new dawn
You are woman
"Resplendence"
Resplendence
Resplendent in a hurricane of lace
Bedecked in piles of elegance and grace
She walks upon the wind in her attire
To take the steps of life amidst the fire
The wonder of her wizardry, it seems
Is best displayed amongst transcendent dreams
"Sky II"
Sky**
I lay upon a carpet of green grass
Contemplating sky and clouds that pass
As shades of white and blue go through my mind
So like the clouds, I drift along and find
That, once again, my thoughts have turned to you
Obscuring all that falls within purview
Ever-present loving saturates
I ponder thoughts of passion and the fates
Upon the drifting clouds, so soft and fair
Drifts these thoughts of deepest loving care
Heart goes with the clouds upon their travels
As the worried thought of heart unravels
Wind picks up and sighs with thoughts of love
Heart returns with feelings far above
Sun begins to set upon the day
Night begins to fondle interplay
The shining moon reflects your sweet demure
Twinkling stars emerge as feelings stir
Night of summer breeze so slowly passed
Light of newborn day is coming fast
Sun arises with a heartfelt sigh
In radiance of shining clear blue sky
Filling, once again, with love that I
Give back unto the morning's open sky

lost poem
Happy Birthday 2016/(17?)
Crystal ships soar high above and glisten
Angels sigh and songbirds pause to listen
For the day has come
With beating of the drum
Celebration of the day she first
Brought to me a life-fulfilling thirst
As from her lungs the songs, in colours, burst
From that moment on, my beating heart
Responded to the tunes she did impart
For long and long, her glow ne'er came to rest
In journey of the heart made manifest
Trapped beneath the waves, she found her way
But, always, always passion held her sway
The power chained within the hurricane
Drew from heart of mine the depths of pain
She knocked the stuffing right out into staves
Washing all the shores with all She craves
Her glow began in rhythm as she rose above the sea
The pulsing of her heart and glow stir in my memory
A shelter rose within this heart in time of greatest need
In return for dazzlement of wonder do I plead
The blowing of the hurricane transforms
From battering of ships into the storms
To gentle breeze of swaying song
Of loving of a life so strong
Strengthened by the love I have for you
Into a cord of life with loving view
Happy Birthday 2024
Happy birthday 2024, My Gypsy Empress
You spread your wings and fly beyond all bounds
Of strictures held by all relentless hounds
You glisten in the morning of new dawn
I pray you love until all wind is drawn
The passion of the moment turns to passion everlasting
Beyond the bounds and scope of life's tremendous casting
My vision has been focused on your love deserved
In presence of spectacular delight as lightly served
As selfless as can vastly be construed and still retain
The sanity so necessary midst the pouring rain
Don't worry, I don't cry that much
Immensity of time and such
Assures me we connect
All lives in retrospect
I'll love you all eternity, I celebrate each ray
When time arrives in which we both will sing and play
Excitement all I care to feel
Anticipating love so real
Let the hardened armour deliquesce
Enough for interchange to acquiesce
