An idea for a screenplay. If you like it, it is yours. An autopsy reveals a man has been poisoned by arsenic. His wife is arrested. After an hour and a half of plot regarding the agony of confinement, the procurement of an attorney, the shame etc.,. at the 11th hour an expert witness testifies that her husband ate fish 5 dinners a week for several years, and that he had eaten not only arsenic which accumulates in the fish flesh but other heavy metals as well. The wife goes free. She was the cook who made the meals, but had no desire to kill him..

LOVE

*1
My love for you a yearling became... many eons ago.
*2
His dogs and cats cannot read.. save the script of his soul
They cannot write..except on his heart
*3
As a tide floats all boats ..As great music lifts all lyrics
..so do love's spirit pinions ..give wings to all opinions.
*4
At dawn the emperor sun breaks forth from the lair of mars but in the evening he
disappears behind cloud curtains to the chamber of venus.
*5
Living shrimp in a bucket looked up at me with their penetrating sweet black eyes on stalks.
*6
Cloud maya makes the sun appear to wink at you. But his love
is constant, not on and off.
*7
Compass needles are magnetized to the north
but compassion unencompassed in all directions pours.
*8
The sun yellow of the solar plexus, the healing greens and pinks of the heart,
the blue of the throat, indigo of the third eye, blazing white, gold and violet of the crown
entwine in a rainbow and pour forth to the world.
*9
Did the Creator gave rats and snakes and bugs and weeds
life and then not give them feelings?
*10
For love the model forsook the runway. From that shallow world she did run away.
Her love awaited at the airport Monday. That eve they taxi'd down the runway.
*11
Ribboned sunbeams, his words wing me.
*12
He aspired to be a Venutian rather than a martyr.. to follow
the path of venus' love rather than sometimes angry mars.
*13
He no longer harms daisies or their petals shreds.. to ask if her love for him has been shed.
*14
His empathic heart is always giving command performances for anyone in need.
*15
A warm day in November... a leaf came calling down..
but then he flitted up... it was not a falling flutterby... but a rising butterfly!
*16
Love the fan makes spark the fire Love the focus creates form from desire Love the finescreen turns firehose to mist Love the filter sees Pharisee as Christ Love the factory where miracles are fashioned. Love the furnace freezing hearts have sought. Love the fruit tree with gifts for all laden. Love the filings on the greatest magnet caught.
*17
Because I was taught in school to objectify animals, it was easier not to think about eating their murdered body pieces. Why should I use the pronoun 'it' to refer to animals? They aren't objects nor genderless.
*18
Is the fact that God is Universal Love a license to be
promiscuous, polyamorous, polygamous or polyandrous.?
*19
In his heart bell hung a tong which struck every time
he caught sight of her or heard her voice.
*20
Knowing that froggie fear was engendered by horse hooves,
Pegasus grew wings and then he arose framed by a sky of orange pink and rose.
*21
Love is a purifier more sacred than pure fire.
*22
Love limited, love circumscribed, love lukewarm is by God decried.
*23
Love not force rides the horse.
*24
Love surrounds hate as the sea laves icebergs.
Hate is frozen Love. God is Love which will melt all hate
*25
Love was the priest who married them.
*26
Lust says the whole is not as great as the part but
Love flows whole from its temple in the heart.
*27
A baby who lies untouched in cradle.. a child who sits untouched in a crib.. will grow up thinking he's unlovable.. feeling he is untouchable.
*28
Mongers in the name of love heartshaped candies sell.
But our landlord lives God's love in every single cell.
*29
More precious because he'd waited so long to hear.. the most beautiful lyrics... 'I love you' in his ears.
*30
A match does not an iceberg ignite nor does a waterdrop survive in a forest fire . We are influenced by the company we keep.
*31
Allgiving sun passes light... through persimmon tree leaf filters.. filling her fruit
with lovepotion juice...paradisical philters
*32
Phone wires pinker glow as love reconnecting flows
*33
Roses are pink. Violets are violet. Our love for you
is forever inviolate
*34
She is my beloved sister...off all who come her way the assister.
*35
She was baptized in water by her brother's rare tears..
baptized in fire by her mother's unshed tears
*36
Sleeping Beauty is awake inside each being, but some of us
need the kiss of unconditional love to know we are made of love
*37
Some criticized him for sharing his journal, , but most
were grateful that he had invited all into his heart
*38
Some human beings frighten the birds. They are animated scarecrows,
but there are others who attract them near and far. They are carecrows.
*39
Suddenly out of the green, pops a trillium. Of fields elsewhere, the sun lilies em
Suddenly out of the blue, the ship on the horizon Suddenly out of the purple, love's eve rising.
*40
The Lord of Love laves his lilies in light.. and lets dandelions and ivy leaves alone to live
*41
The love of the heart has surrounded the mind's knife of
criticism sheathing it with silence.
*42
The peony sphere has no perfume.. until she opens the petals of her heart
*43
The same God shines through the prisms of all eyes.
*44
They suddenly knew they wanted to avoid pain and much trouble
by going through life as a doublebubble
*45
Those who stop eating pork or beef or squab don't ingest adrenalin.
Reduced is their squabbling.
*46
To the lowlying sea....river waters to the most humble point descending..
but then lifted by the lovelight of the sun waters are ascending
*47
Two puddles loved each other and became a brook.2 pools
of light loved each other and became a glow.2 hearts loved each other and became one.
*48
Unbidden buzz in the bloombibbing bees.
*49
Until we saw Linda G's sanctuary, we never thought
Noah's Ark... could be as clean as a sunwashed barque
*50
We came to a crossroads and what did we see? All directions pointing..
to his heart's infinity
*51
The chubby little hand of the small boy .. tenderly cups the head of the puppy..
..a magic little cup this hand.. which holds the liquid of love though upside down.. pouring
it from endless springs
*52
Within small circles do spiders build webs while larger
ones foil them. So the uncircumscribed heart foils lurking danger.
*53
Your heart is a blazing star.. sending forth infinite rays in all directions.
*54
Held by love, the busy yellow jacket sups within the petals' brackets
*55
Arthur pulled a sword out of stone..but he was not able to pull
out the sword Guinevere thrust into his heart until Bea came along ...she who could liquefy a rock with her aura.
*56
Dust caked plant confined within house walls..stares out wistfully
as cleansing raindrops make loveslides down free leaves
*57
Shortly before he was born, God gave a vision of a soaring eagle suddenly swooping down
and voluntarily entering an open bamboo cage on a boat. I knew a great soul was taking
incarnation.
*58
To God they said "Your amarylis and Your lilies with delight do fill us."
And God replied "I made them for My Beloved Phyllis"
*59
The wind decanted the bush of lavender lilac and she was garbed in her own sweet perfume
*60
In dawning daybreak so pure and still they opened the window above the sill. The Sun of Love into room did spill.
*61
The little baby boy stretched out his arms to the stranger with a radiant smile.. silently saying 'pick me up'...conferring a grace which made her cry. Arms so small Bequeathing All
*62
Whether you are Kwon Yin or Kwon Yang You are always a lovable God
*63
Allen’s heart compass is Allen-compassing. To Love points Allen’s heart compass. It is all encompassing
*64
Wherever is Maynard, Mother Earth is moving Mayward
*65
In the past he had criticized the mores of those eels named Moray.. but resolved Maury in the
future to give out more A's.

THE SEA

1*
Rocking cradle of the world.. sunset stairway to the stars..
only by greatmasters trod... only written on by God.
2*
Out of the sea the sun aborning with his awesome light of morning
Not adorned but all adorning says to you "Come!My Mavoorning!"
3*
Rain at sea... redundancy
4*
It snows at sea... silence falls in flakes...melting
designs.... slip form for All
5*
Wavecarved caves near the seagirt rock.. wavesculpted into a seagulled rookery..
6*
Every morn...the sea reborn ...is smoke and mirrors..... fog and reflection.
7*
We gave him a pitcher. He gave us the sea
8*
The rock temple to Poseidon will in some millenium show crumbling, but the wavy
sea will remain... as ever the ocean main.

is for seagulls
11*
The ebbtide slowly recedes, but in that sweet leg of the sea
tidepools, seaweed, shells sunsparks and driftwood.... are his legacy
12*
The rain in Maine remains mainly by the main.
13*
That sand not soon turn the beachfence into driftwood
the artist designed a metal seat.
14*
From the shore.. one looks upward to the sanddune grass..10,000 green brush blades
trying to paint the blue sky jade* No matter how high it climbs the mountain ash finds
he cannot stamp his footprint frondprints of green hue upon the sky of spiritblue
15*
Faster than any stylus squiggling.. can write the sun
in the water wiggling... but when the sea is perfectly still..
it appears it was water which held the quill
16*
Receives all arrows the universal quiver
as the sea receives all lonely rivers
17*
Daily the sea laves with tidal milk waves
nursing in love her hungrymouthed caves
18*
Today in their palate of many hues
the sky and sea have 90 shades of blue
19*
Little petstore goldfishes.. suffocating in the tiny plastic bag.. God set you
free..into fresh water rivers which lead to the sea.
*20
Gentler than land's are the seasons of the seas.
*21
The rainbow's end touchdowns in the waving sea. Though she pours her pastels endlessly, deep blue remains the sea
*22
Surfers delight in the motion of the angry waves of the ocean
as neptune, king of the sea, delights in their mars.
*23
Shadows of fishes play in the shallows above varying
shades of abandoned shells.

Waterfall mist asked the sea 'when shall I return to Thee? '
29*
Windsent seascent everywhere went
30*
As artists long for blank canvases, as sealovers yearn for the blue space of the skysea,
the Spirit longs to be uncluttered.
31*
So many shades of blue from royal navy to aqua hue.. without
the horizon ship one could not tell sky from sea.
32*
Seacradle is fishes rocking among the rocks but she is slapping at fishermen's docks
For the sun wearing daily a fresh foam frock helping God on all hearts to knock
33*
The full moon lifts seawaves in joy, but only the sun can lift water drops out of the sea.
34*
Blackberried tarts on white lace doilies are the seafoam framed ocean's dark rocks
35*
Ships in bottles cannot sail, but messages unsealed from
bottles do, and their words are meant most for those who find the script.
36*
More than the stable shore God hallows the waving sea's shellshod shallows.
*37
In the kinder world there surely no longer shall be
shellfish shiv'd to shed their sheltering shells from the sea
38*
Waves will rise in joy, they know soon toward the full moon of the longed for monsoon
39*
Message in sea's bottles. Tidings in the tides. Time's
rivers to the timeless sea glide. Every being will with God abide.

He is like the sea: on the surface bubbling with wave effervescence
... in the depths one with divine Everpresence
42*
The sun's fireball has scattered embers in the sea, unquenched
by her waters. for love can never be extinguished.
43*
The drops the rain scatters the river then gathers.. for the sea who in turn
offers them in her great chalice to the Sun Father
44*
One smells seasalt before the first seasight...
of His Eoyal Lowness, Neptune bluerobed. He fills hearts with delight
45*
She picked up only vacant seashells at the shores of the Seychelles.
For chambered nautili hollow were minnow castles in the shallows
46*
It is the trickling time for the tiptoeing tide to float in gifts which abide
beneath the twinkling stars' ides.
*47
The tide is afoot! in the 10 million fingers of the sea
*48
As seawaves slapped his sloop he slipped down a sweet slope into sleep
*49
A red light where the road ends at the aquamarine sea.
*50
Aboard the oceanliner they see.. moonlight whitewashing the sea
*51
Those who live by or on the sea can most frequently be healed by her empty canvas, rhythms, and frequency
*52
Flags of fog flap not but float above the kingdom of Neptune
*53
The sun scattered a trillion diamonds on the sea...his angels will gather them into a necklace for thee
*54
Her listening heals.. because she listens with total presence, without judgment,
without interruption, with unconditional love
*55
The sirens in his odyssey kept not Odysseus from the sea
*56
The beachcombing sea gives more than she takes as she secedes

.... lift us out of hell. In her space our spirits upwell.

*59
So many sires he had in Donegal.. so many foremothers in Galway ..he was made of Donegalway
...in every cell of his being the sea calls to itself
*60
That day the grey gulls over the grey gulf were invisible in the grey cover of the gloaming
*61
As rocks girding a tidal pool... As metal setting for sapphire jewel... As rigid bones around liquid soul eyes.. the body frame for the Spirit Nigh
*62
The mountain palm gave birth. Her coconut babes rolled downhill to the ocean.. Now they are islands in that sea .. with hard shells bathed inside by coconut milk and outside by piscean seas
*63
In an all-grey sky through a cloud goblet a sunbeam straw sucked up the sea
*64
The tide casts her slender silver fishnet veil, not to harm the fish, but to float them home to her sea.
*65
I want to be with my love by the sea near his seaweed strewn legacy
hearing the gullsong ..smelling salt air ..feeling the sand arranged by the tide ..my heart slowing down to rhythms of seaslide .. seeing ascent of the Sun.. oer neptune..watching the rise oer the bay of the moon..ambling to a cafe fireplace to sip berry tea with book pen and community

the sun rays arc with their igniting sparks
making sparkles everywhere
*16

the rising sun... but soon his
flaming rays will break through

.. melt away in delight.. at dawn's vanquishing light

And now a seasmoke fog hides the rising sun... but soon his
flaming rays will break through

and silence neath Sol

... brings another sundown .. a diaspora of dandelion down

but shy night could not stand his light and she ran quite away.
*31
Holds the sun's cheer... every purple cherry.. and seed chariots of new trees of
cherry.
*32
As the longfingered sun reaches out to touch a cloistered trillium
or a lake trembles in the light of moon and stars
so can Tolstoy's long rainbow of words play our heartstrings from afar.

approached.... his very survival
*34
Arun arose awash in rose.. His dawn rays oer all arose. Did all arouse .. his rays of rose...
millenial oaks... the corn in rows... and the no-rows wildest rose.
*35
The egg of the sun dipped into many cups of dye.. pink and purple saffron yellow orange and red.. a gold mellow but He preferred His own color.. that of blazing light
and emerged untouched by dawn or dusk or deepest night
(not an egg stolen from a chicken)
*36
Light lingers in fig leaves and pink cloud fingers
*37
The sun's divine current is transformed into currants
*38
To the apple tree the sun said "You think you're the decider
but it is my rays which decide which apples become cider"
*39
Where is my lover the sun? Coming up over the mountain..Where is my lover the sun? Splashing on top of that fountain.. Where is my lover the sun? Red-appling inside that green tree
Where is my lover the sun? Sparkling through all the blue sea.

Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?"

can truly read an astrological chart, and even he or she cannot necessarily foretell God's
mercy and grace as He/She rewrites the play after lessons are learned.

APOLOGY
Forgive any offense, error or other disruption caused by these words. All
speech truncates reality, trying to contain the Infinite in the infinitesimal.
. If you see a duplication please email the author. God is beyond gender. Please forgive references to God in masculine gender which
is less cumbersom than S/He or His/Her. All Names for the One God whether God, Allah, Shiva, Great Spirit, Divine Mother, YHWH or
other refer to the same God, imho. Because I grew up as a Christian and have spent most of my
life in a predominantly Christian country, there are more poems for people of that faith.

DEDICATION These poems in entirety are dedicated to my loved ones who helped make
them possible, to God and other muses, and to you, beloved reader, for igniting them to life
with your eyelight.
