love, rose, red, rose,
A red rose whispers of enchantment
And the white rose reveals the depth of love
O, the red rose is like that of a falcon,
And the white rose is symbolic of the dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For our love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on our lips.

life, loss, lost love, love, universe,
There is a you-shaped hole in my life,
And nothing I can do to fill it;
She sits as a cardboard cut-out in the room,
Black as space, twinkling critical stars
Studded, blinking in her outline.
A peregrine falcon flies across the sun,
And is gone,
As that sun implodes, turning black
In the fabric of time,
Comets trail-blaze and die out
Beyond the visible frame.
The you-shaped hole just sits with
An eyeless stare, full of emptiness,
Infinite cosmos of useless parallels,
Universes impotent with saturnine debris.
It speaks in volumes of silence,
Wastelands of verbiage,
And in the end as I look
Deeper
Becomes my own reflection.

conflict, daughter, destiny, emotions, goodbye, leaving, life,
Show your love and let it go
Show your ego and confine it
For your love it shall return
For the latter not so likely
Like the falcon on my arm
The swing out in the park
Just like a sailing boomerang
Or a cradle in the dark
When the hare outruns the fox
The cubs don't get to feed
Like a fortune to a fool
Driven only by his greed
Like the clouds release the rain
Like the tree, its seed to grow
Like the bird on fallen wing
Show your love and let it go

car, dad,
My Dad gave us a car that was
Clean, clean, clean
Yeah it was old but it drove
Like a Cadillac and had a shine like over pressed slacks
We always had wheels to go to and fro
Because the Hooptie King kept us out of the cold
Our cars weren’t new
But four wheels
Beat two shoes
We had a convertible, a Studebaker with
Continental doors
Moms drove a little white Ford Falcon
1964
Pops was a roadrunner and I guess
He figured we’d be one too
So he provided us with love, a house
And plenty transportation
To do what we had to do

appreciation,
A man with a star on his chest and a star on his shield...
Is he fictionous or is he for real?
He goes on missions with his friend Bucky
They fight for our freedom and always get lucky.
Their nemesis is the evil Red Skull
Experiences with him never are dull.
Coming to aid is the brave Falcon,
Fighting with cap all of the seasons.
Then there is agent 13; the lovely Sharon Carter
She's the love interest of Cap, and a little bit smarter.
And the leading agent is the colonel Nicholas Fury
He's always up for adventure and part of the story.
So many people, all part of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Real or not, they are all part of the deal.

Rolling Hills and Winding Road
by Jason Williams
A year ago you brought me here.
On tippy-toes I kissed your ear.
We laughed and played, and in the sun,
you took my hands, we danced and spun.
We laid together, side by side.
We watched a falcon way up high.
It was our favorite place to go,
the rolling hills and winding road.
The calmness and serenity;
this place is home for you and me.
A year ago you brought me here.
A year ago I held you dear.
And now were back, I’m on my knee,
and asking you to marry me.

lover number one
thinking of a face
my love reaches great heights ....
I am the falcon
lover number two
bowed in purity
my ceremony of tea
I give willingly
there is peace to the falcon
as he sleeps upon my breast
***The face of whom lover number one speaks can not
be visualized by the reader. Rather only by the two lovers,
who know what she looks like. So, it remains a haiku within
a haiku, an enigma somewhat.

imagery, lost love, love, love hurts, sad love, sorrow,
You come into my eyes
Like a dream of angels
You drop from my eyelids
Like the leaves of orchids
You come into my lips
Like the song of chirps
You drop from my rhymes
Like the tyranny’s regimes
You bacon me from the horizon
Like the voice of a baby falcon
You steal me of my deep breath
Like an earthquake’s hot wrath
What you do is beyond limits
Like the sun ray’s gold splits
What you create is out of reach
Like a wise man’s new preach

I see it in you, waning, in broken pieces everyday,
That fall away and you let them,
Sun soaked diamond chips
Like broken chimes on a marble floor.
This silence produces an ominous screaming,
A falcon circling in the dry desert sun
Gliding on imaginary air
Screaming the anticipation forth,
As the last piece delicately falls
He dives to his prey.
You cannot hold yourself together.
Pray that I will.

freedom, love,
Long, how the warm winds blow
Entwined in rich almond tusks
Goodness sets her gaze
Nuzzled amongst the cherry blossom
And early morning's blaze
Known, a free flown falcon
Rising without the clouds
Abreast to the horizon's
Daring red feathered chest
Yearn and I shall yearn
Melt, for fierce passions burn

emotions, girlfriend, love, together,
I know a girl.
A girl with a head of golden fire,
And eyes like silvered sapphire.
Her smile is shining,
Her laugh is lightening.
I know a girl.
A girl wild as the storm,
A mote of smoldering passion.
She will never conform,
Her heart soars like a falcon.
I know a girl that's captured my heart,
I know a girl I'll never part.

fantasy,
The nest of rods of light grows through celestial abyss
Their love can only be compared to love of mother giving a child her kiss
They are theory of everything they are bliss
Grown to the heavens from primordial sup that they do reminisce
Final is the essence of the soul
And contradiction of this statement makes it grow beyond control
Beyond divine is the soul
It is not judged and inspires all and whole
The orb of light
In that spirit is delight
Like falcon in flight
Depth and immortality of that spirit makes the celestial mist shine bright

art, love,
My citadel of commerce
Composed for pleasure
Is prudent in every weather
Archetypes of romance prance
Through billowy meadows together
Absorbing sunlight to roam
Like a rainbow summer day
You are outstretched to believe
Filling verdant memory
And lucrative thought
Our bastion ever engrossed
This is how we fell to us
You, incapable of rust
I was brave enough to reach
Stormy banks on fuming seas
Praying with the mantis
Animals advance knowing threshold
While admiring your migrant beads
Come back to the palace
A feast prepared thoroughly
Sacred for the falcon evening
Grateful we bow and eat

love, passion, universe, , cute,
I used to be so wonderful
of golden hair and eye,
an eagle or a falcon
was not comelier than I,
I often flew to foreign lands
on wings of colored light,
I used to execute my plans,
and always make things right,
but now the universe has sworn
to break my heart in half,
I gave you night and early morn,
and still I hear you laugh.
what will it take to make you mine
and stop this burning pain?
I drown it all in dregs of wine,
obsession is your name!

life, lost love, love,
In just a few seconds it was supposed to hit.
Flying gracefully in the air sure not to miss.
It's heart shaped tip sent spiraling through the air,
causing much love to the couple it hits,
rendering them into an endless paradise,
where only that couple exists.
Allowing them to experience the endless joys of love.
Except this time something went wrong.
Cupid's arrow just plain dropped.
Dropped out of the air like a falcon on a dive,
and hit the ground like a bomb from the sky.
Just short of the couple that the arrow was supposed to hit.
Yes, that's right cupid's arrow does miss.

ALL THE LOVE THAT HISTORY KNOW
IS SAID TO BE IN EVER ROSE
YET ALL THAT COULA BE FOUND IN TWO
IS LESS THAN WHAT I FEEL FOR U
AND THE WHITE ROSE BREATHES OF LOVE
OH THE RED ROSE IS FALCON
AND THE WHITE ROSE IS A DOVE
BUT I SEND YOU CREAM-WHITE ROSEBUD
WITH A FLISH ON ITS PETAL TIPS
FOR THE LOVE THAT IS PUREST AND SWEETEST
HAD A KISS OF DESIRE ON THE LIPS

animal, bird, death, fate, food, life, sky,
I love my diet, rich in protein,
Of snakes, squirrels, doves, and rabbits most lean.
I tell you this, and I am on the square,
Furry mammals delight beyond compare.
The swiftest, sleekest raptor in the sky,
I soar wide, circling with the sharpest eye.
As feathered death I swooped upon my prey,
But the rat found a hole and got away.
As Taloned Fate I still search and survey,
For careless critters to feast on today.

adventure,
The lioness prances as a falcon
capturing prized family prey
blood mists as melting rose petals
royal caramel true love
her heart a ruby clock
her darling dance dreams
clouds clap through trees
beating night
mighty
queen
King
blazing
liquid light
passionate paws
scythe fangs knife claws
the lion glides as a ghost
stars and full moon hush through cool night
protecting his constellation cubs
strutting lion crowned by jeweled forest
