Smile For Me Daddy

Smile For Me Daddy
(For Morris & Idris)

Smile for me Daddy…
Don’t you know how
beyond beautiful you are
– When you smile
Your masculine beauty
exponentially magnifies
– When you smile
Like a moonlit sea
you brighten my nights
– When you smile
I would walk the plank
and swim the Caspian
if on the furthest seashore
was that – smile
Your sienna brown eyes
beam enchantment
and radiate love
When adjoined with your smile
With each grin,
you illuminate
and bless my day
and create a thing of beauty
The gleam does something
amorous to me
I just love it when you smile…
That’s why I always tickle you there
Just a gentle kiss on the lips,
to see that Crest model flair
A dark gable,
with “ooh, can I just touch your” hair
Evocative of formed waves
on wind brushed desert sands
Big manly hands
and size 13 feet *wink*
Dimples in his cheeks
Skin tone dark
yet manifique

– Looking at me –
Smiling…

I admit,
I’m in bliss,
at the very sight
The glare won’t even let me be mad!
It is my welcomed Kryptonite
Beautifully sexy,
vibrant and pristine white
When you smile for me Daddy…
I must confess –
That if God made anything
better than your smile
He kept it for himself!

There is a Castle...

Lambert Castle, West Paterson, NJ

There is a Castle…
(To Paterson, I love you)

Sire,

There has been a change on Temple Hill…
The challenge of walking up is distracted now
By infectious ills
Coughed up by Northside naughty neighbors
The Silk City has become rough and gritty…
And the quality of life force within is the pity
The spread of hopelessness has run amok
In thine beloved city
Your adored sculpture of Beaux-Arts
Nestled in the valley’s heart
Where inner villages are triangle bent
Project tenements
are on Grand streets,
Cobblestone history under feet
and Park prestige in the East
And…
On a clear day
If you look towards the sky,
You can see the realm of the Four Towers
Nestled behind dual drawbridges
Embraced by the great falls river stream
Yet,
Like the stream, full and raging in Spring
The Peoples tears are flooding River Street
Rounding out Putnam’s oval like 10th Avenue circle
And swelling over the walls of the Blue Palace
Messenger Ginsberg’s Howl is now a growl!
They have forgotten to love her sire – with a kiss
Forgotten bard Williams', torah of love, for her populace
They have forgotten to believe, Sire
That they are within her Kingdom
They need a beacon of hope to guide them
Through the shadows of despair and civil unrest
Belief that even dreams deferred can manifest
Shall I point them towards the view in the West?
Where within the slopes of Garrett Mountains peaks
There is a reminder…
That – Royalty
indeed
walk these streets

There is a Castle…

And…

Wherever there is a castle – there is a Kingdom!

God's Four Seasons - A linked Haiku

God’s Four Seasons

Winter Wonderland

White blankets of snow
Cover all sins like Jesus

Winter’s wonderland

Spring is Here!

Rebirth on the Earth
Flowers and trees, birds and bees

Spring has sprung God’s love

Summer Son

God has smiled on me
and kissed me with His Sonshine

after Summer rain

Fall of Love

Leaves convey His love
Autumn hues fight off life’s blues

As God paints for me

7 Deadly Sins - A linked Senryu

7 Deadly Sins

Pride

I don’t need your God
Your God needs my approval
I’m The Great I Am

Greed

Oil wealth is the goal
Ravage their land and spill blood
The point must be clear

Envy

Life just isn’t fair!
On this Earth, tint means struggle
I wish I was White

Wrath

My husband beats me
God’s vengeance was less than swift
Blood pours from his head

Lust

I’ve got to have it
Whether her or him or them
Disease - I give all

Gluttony

I sniff so much coke
I have a hole through my nose
blackened with cancer

Sloth

I have never worked
Stayed with Mom until her death
Can I stay with you?
