Cajun Queen

(Click on images to enlarge)

*******

There’s a sultry place
Where the bayou streams
Close to city’s lights
Down by New Orleans

The moon shines bright
And stars, it seems
Give all their light
 To a cajun queen

She’s tall and slender
And a lithe eighteen
 Her heart’s not tender
 This cajun queen

Few words she says
Her eyes say all
Sleeps the days
Waits night to fall

Her head tossed back
When the music starts
She woos them in
Then breaks their hearts

To only one
When she’s by his side
Does she ever yield
 Her cajun pride

It’s Friday night
I’m takin’ her away
We’ll love or fight
Til the light of day
In the private world
Of our hideaway.

Back on the bayou

Far away

No Excuse

(Prelude: see last night’s post)

*************

The poetic muse

Had no excuse

For treating me that way

***

I took the time

To give verse and rhyme

A sweet melodic sway

This foul nymph in a fit of pique

Deprived my art’s mistique

Yet another weary day

***

And now dear friends

This stand-off ends

And leaves me now to say

***

I will visit another muse

Who’s never given me excuse

Or left me with naught to say

Though she’s slow and reticent

The time in wait’s always well spent

She’s always been most generous with her artistic gift

But Not Tonight

**********************

Sitting at the window, watching the fading rays of the setting sun as it dips below the horizon, beckoning the moon and stars to their watch over the darkening of night….

A long day leads to a tired night

Thoughts don’t come so I can’t write

Usually the words will come

Like the stacatto beats of a distant drum

**********

****************

Angels watch o’er you

While you sleep

Til the light of dawn

***********

Good night Everybody

In My Heart

**************

Never near but never far

Always close to where you are

***

I hold you in my heart

Never worry, never fear

I will be forever near

***

I hold you in my heart

Time on this earth may go

And we may know some pain

But this you must truly know

That we will meet again

I’ll take a part of you with me

You will know…, you will see

That through all eternity…

***

I hold you in my heart.

An Afternoon Walk

Discoveries in the back yard, front yard, and along the street

Behold, if you look closely for it…

The beauty that a wandering eye may meet.

It’s a beautiful Springtime!

Breaking Down the Fence

********************

*****************

I sit in the deepening solitude

Listening to the deafening silence

My self righteous rectitude

In my mind has built a fence

…..

Built to guard and protect

The fragility of my egotistic mind

To defend and deflect

To shelter truths I find.

…..

Are these truths so mystically important

Is it that I just don’t want to face

Truths that speak of honesty

That my heart wants to embrace.

…..

These fences must be broken down

If I am to find the light

And let happiness be found

To share with you tonight.

…..

I cast away the emptiness

That clouds my tired brain

To continue on without duress

Washed clean by love’s sweet rain.

…..

Good night, everybody !

Go for it !
