Earth's Porch, Beyond Its Heavy Gate
Sonnet number I of XII
From dawn, its rays boldly gleaming,
spring flowers covering new fields,
Nature, beasts and plants both teeming
their bounty true, as treasured yields.
In this world, sun gifts us power
tho' we oft waste its deep treasures.
From its passing we judge our hours,
while racing seeking more pleasures.
Upon night's falling, its black veil
Lo! The blackness and its dark walls
Fear, we see black as its own hell
and inside rings low ghostly calls.
Earth's porch, beyond its heavy gate.
Arms of fury held, Time awaits.

Earth's Porch, Beyond Its Spinning Turns
Sonnet number II of XII
From its Heavens, moon, starry nights
glistening rays that set afire,
Hope and heart, dancing twins in flight
to humanity thus inspire.
Within Time and longings that stir
dreams entwined in soul's loving dance
Rests love's great cause, in finding her
angel of true fated romance.
Among the throngs that planet hold
its ripe apples ready to eat
Are those rare gems, ones never sold
treasure, if victory thus greets.
Earth's porch, resting in wondrous awe.
Destiny of man is to fall.
