In silver tins; intricate
This sanctuary for -- dreams.

A FEAST

In butter lightly he sautes the leeks,
Tonight for dinner we will eat;
Roasted lamb, a salad tossed,
Add the wine, potatoes with sauce.
Ice cream for desert. A romantic feast;
Soft music flowing in the candle light --
O' yes my love -- I will stay the night.

PART II

O' yes, my love -- I stayed the night;
Soft music flowed in the candle light --
Ice cream for desert; I kissed you, sweet.  
Drank more wine, and I kissed your feet.

O' yes, I was sauced and tossed,
And wilted . . . lest' I say any more?
Tomorrow I'll take you out; what's more
I won't be such a dreadful bore.

~~~~~~~

MODERN JAPANESE SENRYU POEM

Soft music flowing
In the candle light -- Oh, yes
I will stay the night

~~~~~~~

PEACE, RELEASE AND SLEEP

The marvelous white wings of the dove
Flutter below and above . . .
As love shines itself before me --
Blatantly where he lies below my sighs,
And long passionate kisses that arise;

I have longed for this . . . for so long.
No wrongs, no songs, just longings
That had been denied -- for too long.

Release, peace, and sleep, and dreams to
Never end as the spring wind marches on.

I worry that his snore will out roar the sea,
Yet, I am still at peace, and
I sleep the sweet sleep that one sleeps
By the sea shore.

~~~~~~~

END OVER END

End over end; a vision of love, and longing under the sun,
Done and redone. The soft silky secret sewn into my soul
Was found unweaving, opened by your threads of love,
Whisperings of desire, and promises to behold.
I plunged in, and I enjoyed the swim; end over end.

~~~~~~~

IF

What shall I say IF
You were to forget me;
Shall I say the stars no longer shine,
Or that the mountains aren't worth a dime?

What shall I say IF
You were to leave me;
Shall I say -- the seas no longer flow,
And Niagara trinkles down slow?

What shall I say IF
Wintertime comes, and
I have not your arms to keep me warm:
Shall I say -- you never were?

What shall I say IF
The aroma of your love
No longer scents my home;
Shall I say -- I am alone?

What shall I say IF
The night is all there is,
And I have nothing for which to live;
Shall I finally say -- alas, alas, he is gone,
And I no longer live?

A SIMPLE WISH

Tonight I looked at the moon,
And made a simple wish;
To float upon the water
At home like a fish.

With the arms of a friend
Wrapped around me tight,
Yes, that's my simple wish
For the full moon tonight.

As you go off to sleep
Close your eyes, and
Feel the love of your life
Floating...with her arms
Closed around you tonight.


ABSOLUTELY I
Modern Japanese Senryu Trio

Absolutely
I love you for anything
You need to be loved for

I forgive you
For anything you need to be
Forgiven for

Because
I love you absolutely
Absolutely I love you


ABSOLUTELY
Modern Japanese Choka Poem Version II

Absolutely
I love your for anything
You need loving for
I forgive you anything

Because I love you
Most assuredly ‘tis true
Forgiving’s easy


ALAS! I

Our loving moments fly
On the wings of a dove,
In rapid thoughts away.
I sigh,
How much you were loved
You will never know --
As you opened the door to go,
For I stand, and I smile,
Waving all the while.


ALAS! II
Modern Japanese Choka Poem Version II

Our loving moments
Fly on the wings of a dove,
Rapid thought away.
I sigh, how much you are loved
You will never know;
You opened the door to go

As I stand and smile,
Waving to you all the while;
Alas my love . . . go --



RINGO ONCE LOVED ME

Ringo Starr of the Beatles
Modern Japanese Senryu Poem

Ringo once loved me;
I swear that he did.

O but
I was always
A much lying young kid!
