 Consider Icarus

Humility will always steer you right

Excessive pride is expensive

Even at the cost of life

Consider Icarus warned

Consider Icarus in excessive mode

Consider Icarus wings melted to death

Overwhelmed he flew to high

Overwhelmed he got too close to the sun

Consider Icarus warned

Consider Icarus in excessive mode

Humility will always steer you right

 This Apple

Honestly, if i eat this apple,

My love will appear right here,

In front of me;

Like syrup of maple,

Our kisses can span the rigors of time,

Like clouds under azure sky

Like ripples over ocean skin

Live Anthony and Cleopatra

Honestly! Honestly!

Picasso On The Beach

Pablo and Olga k- i -s -s- i -n -g

On the sandy beach

They are not even seeing

The child within reach

Sun up and sun hot

Driftwood and care

These adults augnt not

To act without fear

When then the boy asks

If they were playing tag

They chose somehow to mask

The kiss with a zig and a zag

[Sunrise by Monet from Google]

And The Sunrise Was Good

Each sunrise magic of sky

Unfolds hope in newness

Licsence to create what

Yesterday never had even

If routine set the pace of

Dark night passed on

Sunrise is expected and mundane

Yet awesome in all its ways

The calling out again and again
