Sweet Dreams
Across the miles
the rhythmic waves
I cradle you
fingers tussle your hair
Watching you doze
fend off sleep
while I whisper soft
bits of poem
My voice is glassy
almost tickling
lulling you deep
under my spell
At this moment
there is no past
no future
only the honeysuckle now
Along with an emerging
inkling
delicate most blossom
my budding love
the rhythmic waves
I cradle you
fingers tussle your hair
Watching you doze
fend off sleep
while I whisper soft
bits of poem
My voice is glassy
almost tickling
lulling you deep
under my spell
At this moment
there is no past
no future
only the honeysuckle now
Along with an emerging
inkling
delicate most blossom
my budding love

Drizzle
Here is where you
are
where I put you
where I leave you
Stripped naked
broken down
luscious crush
beneath my heel
Pretty one
pathetic toy
so played out
now discarded
Don't ever forget
who made you
this
brought you wicked bliss
While I light the taper
set the mood
test the lilac wax
till it is all that you ... deserve

because... it's how I exhale
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.”
—Ray Bradbury, WD
I was twelve
when
each breathing molecule
making up and holding together
the everything
parted
into nothings
when the street lights
were outshone by thirty-something
pairs of piercing eyes
and the dark echoed with reverberations of
incomprehensible words
where everything became
was
meaningless
I placed every bleeding drop of
hope
at the bottom of the wishing well
where...

Salt of Life
still remember
the day i arrived
silenced bird with
disfigured wings
insecure about
everything but
willing to evolve
you came my way
spoke of sound
enjambment
onomatopoeia
rhythm and flow
showed me how
to cut & prune
paved the way
to better writes
but the thing that
inspires me most is
your brutal honesty
and steadfastness
to not withhold
thanks Todski

melancholy's Brenda
melancholy has come to visit me again
in shades of blue, she greets me
says finally you will know me
and the reasons I come to you
Brenda is brand new...
the woman you never understood
delicate creature. fierce in strength
she stood against the darkness
her heart saw you through to today
she is the writer inside you
she's been writing letters to you daily
she is your soul
with no need for substances
selfish and greedy is your flesh
give it to me now
instant gratification
it will be no more ...

Fruit Loop
your rage was coca cola bottles
carbonated and explosive when shook
I popped a cork in the fallout shelter
the rusted sky shout at me in curses
in the purple hours when I cry
my pink panties laugh at the sun
with his silly polka dot smile
when I died in the yellow
you mourned me with your protest signs
the phone rang, it was for the fighter
retired to Mr. Clean
you witness an end to fruit loops
laughing a little in spite of yourself
you coughed too hard
and I almost pissed myself ...

Two Things
I prayed for in this life:
to trust another human
and to be loved by one
for loving another is easy
all it takes is control
but to be loved, ah . . .
that is letting go
When a prayer or two
have been answered
two things enter my mind:
What now;
am I going to die
because I'm finally happy
Yet, I'm still alive
living moment to moment
doing the next one or two things
on my daily...

Rich man
You gorged yourself
from golden platter
with silver spoon
you had your fill
slurped sweetest wine
from finest crystal
while other people
feed on swill
You own limousines
and private jets
in beds you sleep
on satin sheets
with whores you lay
while others starve
don't give a damn
about their needs
And yet with all
you seem to have
with all those riches
plump and plenty
entertainment
wine and dine
your gut is full
your heart is empty
from golden platter
with silver spoon
you had your fill
slurped sweetest wine
from finest crystal
while other people
feed on swill
You own limousines
and private jets
in beds you sleep
on satin sheets
with whores you lay
while others starve
don't give a damn
about their needs
And yet with all
you seem to have
with all those riches
plump and plenty
entertainment
wine and dine
your gut is full
your heart is empty
