Encrypted Words - with audio

audio link

Encrypted words
Flew like Humming birds
In the heart of the Louvre,
Aujourd'hui et toujours mon ami (Today and Always my friend)
Ideas like melodies
Kisses spent in kind
Make admiring minds
Want to see
Flower and buzzing bee
La vision de l'art
Vie, amour, printemps a nouveau... ,
(The vision of art
Life, love, spring anew ...,)
NOTE
There are riddles here, hence the name
 - the main one being
to figure out the end of the poem.
Give it a try. It is not that hard - really.




All right already, the clue for the ending is in
the last two (whoops) three lines of the poem.
Other riddles involve a play on the word Louvre,
and in looking at the history of the word and how
it has been used. In old French and English 
it is similar to or the same as the word for lover
and a kind of window - hence this is a play on words 
and we are looking into the soul or heart of a lover here, 
who is also in one of the most romantic places
in the world i.e, the Louvre. The rest is, well 
the nature of art springtime and love. Thanks for reading. 


Q: - what's missing from the poem?  

A:- "e tu" - (and you) is the final phrase of the poem,
found in the last letter of the last 3 lines. 
So then, - YOU - mon ami, are the missing ingredient!

A Book - with audio

 audio link

A book is to be read
With some tea
And some bread

Hid like a crook,
In a nook,
In a bed

With a fire nearby
A tear in your eye
Like a granny

Of wise quiet mind
Then comes slumber
Gentle and kind

Riding the Wave of Time - with audio

audio link

I sighed and
He said goodbye
Riding the wave of time

Not long forgotten
He rose again in my mind
Riding the wave of time

Having once died
But now lives again
Riding the wave of time

Somewhere in my soul
Connected to this spirit
Riding the wave of time

Collision, conclusion
Lachrymose the eyes
Riding the wave of time 

Laughter heaves the breath
Sentimental collusion
Riding the wave of time 

Ah, what mysterious reverie
Is that singularity memory
Riding the wave of time

Another year older
Some days longer
Riding the wave of time 

So I wonder
Then ponder
What is yonder
Riding the wave of time 

And he is
But is not
Riding the wave of time

In spacious hearts
And outside all
In Him
Gone is the wave of time

Yet flourishing
Brilliant
And Loving
We remain
Beyond the wave of time.

SLIM AND JIM - with audio

audio link

Slim was slimmer than Jim
This matter made Jim quite a crier
He denied the fact
That he was twice as fat
Making Jim the fatter latter liar
