Tick, tock, Tick Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, tock!!! Adrenaline rising!!!!! Like tides of little beads of sweat Rise upon my forhead!!! Eyes move back and forth in perfect unison Like one of those Felix the Cat Clocks My mother had in her kitchen! Precision, PRESCISION!!! Heartbeating like a trapped butterfly in a jar!!! Faster, Faster, FASTER!!!!I wonder how far, how far Can I go in one hour flat! GULP!!!! I THINK I AM FLYINGThose little pills are marvellous! I got to get this done before half-past one!!! Got to do it right! Got to do it Now!!! Sleep, sleep...what this that? It is an ancient passtime ritual Long gone, long gone!Who has time for slumber? Oh! I have an 8 0�clock deadline!!!Will I ever get this done??? Goodness knows my fate If the boss does not get this report by 8? ARRRRGGh!!!! I forgot to set my alarm clock!!!Now I�ll be late ... My head is spinning!!! I can�t get my eyes open..Oh, goodness! I need coffee!!! I need..I need (ARRRRRGHHH)...Clonk!!!Quick!! Call the ambulance!! Another one bites the dust!!! When will this madness end? When we all learn to take it easy..When we ease up on the eccelarator of our souls...And relearn to breathe and smell the flowers! Perfectionism is like a timebomb It builds pressure deep inside Gaining momentumAbiding its time...Waiting for a certain silent signal To go POW!!! And in an instant all ..All you�ve worked all your entire lifetime for Goes off in one explosionof metal and gunpowder A heap of twisted, mangled steel upon your feet!

I think of you often You are the first thing that pops up in my head When I arise; you are like a wren.. Who awakens My every senses with its presence..

You occupy my thoughts throughout the day! As I dress I can feel your essence.... Your soft caress.. The taste of your breath Like the finest vintage wine Upon my lips.. The Oriental silkness Of your hair as I run my lacquered nails and fingertips Through .. Even in my aloness You are there.

You are in my soul You are under my skin.. You are everything and all The air which I breathe without, within.. You, Ed...are omnipotent... At night upon laying my head Upon my pillow.. Your spirit, Ed it seems Hovers over me like an angel.. To sweeten my dreams and give me a nocturnal glow.. Which rejuvinates me with youth Your home lies within my heart... And there it shall linger.. For you are very much a part Of the very nature of my anatomy...

In the stillness of the night The muse in me took over And between darkness and light I did have the sweetest revarie ever!

The sound of a cascading waterfall like booming thunder.. Took over my soul And the wonderful sounds and sights of Eden;

All the earthtones and soft pastels Painted the scene.... Soft pinks, blues, and russet browns and dark egg-shells Were the predominant colors of my dream..

Underneathe the over-sized basin the babbling brook ran past in gentle motions as gold fish swam on by in the stream near the Garden.. On their way to aqua-green oceans;

Sandwhiched in between, Two lovers stood bathing Like a modern couple in a Biblical scene.. A sea of passion.. overwhelmed them And the Forbidden Fruit of desire was purified And made pure again With love�s fire, Making right that ancient rite Which our ancestors made taboo..

He was manly... a broad-shouldered warrior And his physique overpowered her Protecting her like some clustred pearl found in that paradisal shower And she, being with child...almost a mother Was exceptionally beautiful.. Like the First Eve....fragile, yet bold and mystic like the woman that she is.. Made to feel loved and special By the magic of his kiss Upon her navel!

A gentle mist pours down upon humanity In gentle streams Of pure vitality Nourishing our souls with healing rays Of comfort, love, and peace

Swish, Swish!!! The droplets fall upon the thirsty earth And we, as fish Accept the gift of Aquarius With so much gratitude and happiness As the wet, cooling droplets of water fall upon us To rejuvinate our senses Like gentle kisses

How perfectly round and supple Are her crimson cheeks! A scarlet belle, so plump and sweet, the apple Smiles at you with dimples which seem to speak Of savory, forbidden delights So moist, so luscious, so succluent Your mouth seems to water upon her sight. How, you wonder, can such beauty seem so innocent Yet provoke within you such erotic pleasures Just by smelling her delectable scent? You want to tear upon her fleshy skin And taste her sweet nectar And relish the smooth, juicy texture So satiny and paper thin... Yet rich in flavor!

One cannot attempt to explain such voluptuous artistry Which provokes such temptation... It is simply one of life�s best-kept mysteries Which is just best enjoyed without question!

I am a First class lover I will tell you why I am loved the wide world over And I get frequent flyer miles when I fly...

I have a love who is Canadian And so in love with me is he That when we get together, oh, that man can make me so happy!

I have a love in New Delhi And when we kiss it�s like heaven. He makes sweet love to me Sends my heart soaring sky-hi...that sweet man! He bathes me in love like the Ganges River As he makes my whole body quiver!

I have a man in Oxford England There is no finer gentleman than he Together we travel through London And sip fine English Tea; And cross the Thames on a tugboat while holding hands Oh, so in love are we!

I have a gentleman waiting in Japan He surprises me with silky kimonos from the Orient! Oh, what a sweet, sweet man! He makes me feel so elegant As he kisses softly like lotus petals. He makes my whole body explode like Mt. Fuji With all his tenderness!

I have a guy in Melborne and Sydney In the land down under And underneathe a eucalyptus tree We make love, ever intensely!

I am a world class lover And I�ve been around the entire world-- I have travelled the wide world over I am such a worldly girl Yet am a true and virtuous lady! Everywhere I travel I am loved so tenderly That I am the envy of all the belles From Southern France to Italy!

In a pool of blood I drown, a slow, agonizing death. Engulfed within a flood I draw my last breath As I perish For lack of what I truly crave;

Lust turns into agony As day turns into night And my soul raves in a sudden fury I look in disdain at my plight... A heart which loves profoundly Has been unjustly denied...

And so it burns With an all-consuming fire For that what it truly years (yearns) Is unattainable... A love which in the distance Of time and space Has slowly murdered this old heart of mine A slow and painful death And has buried it alive with all its' passions Yearning, oh, yearning to be forever satisfied!

To-day all of England and the entire world Weeps in sorrow and despair The raindrops fall in every British glen and dale; Today is a Day of mourning For the World has lost a great wealth! Today England has lost Someone valuable and rare; She came to us like a tender rose bud in mid July At a time when the World was in desperate need Of a modern day fairy-tale; Though her life was not quite happily ever after She became a symbol of royalty and splendor She waltzed into our hearts and souls with regal poise and opulence... Her presence has blessed the world with a tapestry of live And yet, tragically this precious rose was ripped from its fertile soil Out of a cowerdly act of greed Today is known throughout the world As the day when the angels in heaven cried For today, the Imperial Rose of Wales has died Yet do not despair, England, dry your tears For the Imperial Rose of Wales lives on inside England's future Royal Heirs... For now, the World bids her farewell...

My heart is pierced by Cupid's arrow I lay bleeding here in this puddle Of blood and tears and sorrow: I'll die, dear heart, If not today, well, then...tomorrow If you leave me here in agony; Please be my surgeon. This sting is more than I can bear. Won't you please put a Band-Aid On this poor wounded heart of mine; It was such a cruel wound on the morning of St. Valentine. Cupid pierced me with his poisoned dart With cruelty he did put a gash upon my heart... That only you can heal Please be my physician, love I have complete faith in you!

The golden-sequened clock in Time Square Ticks ever so slowly as we anticipate For the coming of a new era in wonder Our minds reflect like a projector... Images of one hundred years of transformation... Of poverty, war, and hate! We have certainly traveled quite a distance From the dawning of the space age To the age of technology and innovation... Now we stand in front of a new millennium And face center stage... Not much wiser than we should be The scenes run through our brains like a documentary

Our primeval core remains untamed Inspite of all the warnings of the Y2K and the predictions of the End... Yet we stand to embrace the New Millennium With hope and expectation Of a better alchemy of the soul

His royal blue uniform is lovingly pressed And sits ready for him on his easy chair. While I stand by the vestibule, all heartbroken and depressed, I smile proudly as I straighten his uniform with tender-lovin'-care;

It is hard to hide a brokenheart When you say goodbye And watch him sadly depart; As you brush away a sad tear from your eye.

He is stationed in South Korea, so very far away. Fighting a war that he did not start But fighting with courage while giving his life away For love of a Country which resides with him forever in his heart;

I in my rocking chair listen to the radio broadcast news from afar In the distance I only hear the sound of guns and hand-granades Is my sweetheart alright, I wonder? His memory fades... Oh, God! watch over him and the boys, I pray!

A decade later...war has ceased Yet I still iron his royal blue uniform lovingly While he comes down those stairs and puts me at ease.. With a twinkle in his matching blue eyes of his He reassures me that all is well As he stares down from heaven and blows me a kiss!

My world was composed of One eternal season. And love Could not survive within This brusque atmosphere... Winter reigned in my heart forever;

365 days of wintertime My soul deprived of sun Was frozen solid....an ice sculpture!

But, what miracle is this That brought a ray of sunshine And thawed this icy heart of mine With the warmth of love?

For heaven opened up a door And sent an angel down to me With the loving chore Of keeping me company And lending me a helping hand And a sympathetic ear

Suddenly my life was enriched With all the richness one can hold. My heart rejoices with the beauty of all seasons... Because of the unselfish kindness And heart of gold Of one angel, most distinquished And everlasting friend. I must thank the Lord above For this gift of love that I've been given. For truly my newfound friend, You truly are a Godsend!

A long, long time ago a Babe was born In a stable, unrefined and cold. Yet 'Love' pulsated from within that crude, cold and humble shelter. The very essence of love was born that day; A long, long time ago Angels and a sparkling star gave the sign To an impatient world below; His coming was foretold By prophets of days of yore... This Holy Birth restored the lonely soul of man All because of God's loving plan. At Christmas we remember That Holy, sacred morn When Jesus of Nazareth was born At Christmas we remember God's unselfish deed That for our sakes He gave us his only begotten Son, To break the chains of death and sin forever And give us each warm and loving hearts And a fortifying spirit that is strong and bold!
