using them not in their usual sense

Happiness is when I am happy - I choose to be. It is internal - so I can choose it. I can choose to be otherwise - but why waste the moment?

i see
you're up early
dismayed
to find my leaves over your lawn;
my fault
'twas not, 'twas the typhoon
that lashed
and battered and twisted me;
and now
i find you've piled my leaves . . . more

now it's showtime once again
soon the show is to begin
but in a corner of this room

now the spotlight's lit the floor
and the music played once more
now you moved reluctantly . . . more

You may think me silly for bringing this up,
I know that the lights should be out,
But if you have just a second
Would you mind looking about?

Gyrations of the fire made me smile
Insinuating alacrity
Methodically intent almost frenzied
Feeding voraciously.
The orgiastic feasting would too soon
Ebb in ferocity
Embers glow awhile bemoan

Statues fear not modesty outraged
Wind can’t their fig leaves shift
Impromptu rendezvous in twinklings insist
Seeking fulfilling tryst
Aiding attires off unscrupulous bodies . . . more

When you make it through the fire
And dust off the soot and ash
To find that it's still there,
When you hack through brush and briar
Feeling weary from the dash
To find it . . . more

Unfettered from time’s monotony,
Mind wanders a universe,
Where choreographed alphabet,
Synergistic isolates verse.
Not every word can be grasped,
And expressed in rich fullness,
But the few . . . more

He who is home with the rolling spheres
Is at home with broken hearts
There’s hope and help for sighs and tears
For the wounds that sting and smart
If faith would be used as a wonder drug
And . . . more

Someday nonchalant I’ll write
Songs for posterity
With indelible inks soaking the quill
Precursor of destiny.
Legends with golden sunbeams
Verse fringed with dazzling light
Intensely . . . more

Eagerly I enter the land of words
Fervently pluck the ripest
Driven by urge to fashion verse
Attempting a vivid message.

My sadness stays
As I mourn the loss
The sun rises in the cemetary
Watching over your free spirit
And I am left with the soft memory
Of your long past yesterday
Hoping our last touch
Never fades away . . . more

Sometimes I think there's not much left
of that smiling face, that eager hopeful love.
Too many years of living
with one bad choice
weighs like a sack of armor, worn in defense, . . . more

A hidden flutist raised to his lips
A pipe of hollowed wood
Surrounding space swelled with pride
Brooding stillness swayed disturbed.
Corpuscular petals of static air
Agitated by haunting notes . . . more

An elusive mirage exasperated
A chimera, a figurine of dreams
Atavistic desire kept shaping
In a longing almost obscene.
Gathering coarse clay sifted it
Through sieve of tender romance
