I want to plunge
keep ever falling
in love with you
my beatnik poet
As we ditch then hitch
chasing the Southern Cross
hiking to Aqua Calientes
kissing bliss at the Sun Gate
All the while
capturing each breath
sigh
in the freest most verse
Drifting fast asleep
my head in your lap
while you jit and jot
me into a lyric
Making raveled love
eye locked gazes
a tickle of whispers
your deftest tracings
keep ever falling
in love with you
my beatnik poet
As we ditch then hitch
chasing the Southern Cross
hiking to Aqua Calientes
kissing bliss at the Sun Gate
All the while
capturing each breath
sigh
in the freest most verse
Drifting fast asleep
my head in your lap
while you jit and jot
me into a lyric
Making raveled love
eye locked gazes
a tickle of whispers
your deftest tracings

My Phantom Lover Part II
A Dove’s wounded pride
Comes with a hefty price tag, when not standing at a man’s side
Emotions to emotions sweetly collide
Warmth and now it’s getting cooler outside
All the endearing whispered words have blown away
All the sentiments evaporated in the wind for a rainy day
Who dares to embrace the keys to the heart, other than you
Cannot scream, cannot shout, but the heart still requires it’s just due
Cannot get the essence of my heart back, the lock has been tampered with and then broken
Twisted back and forth until pain has spoken ...

I wish that I could plug it up and stop the flow of hurt
I wish that I could mend her heart like you mend a shirt
I wish that I could assure her everyday, everything's okay
I wish that I could lie beside her when she's ready to play
I would caress her mouth asking her tongue to come out
I love her mouth's shape when she smiles or pouts
Pleased as her tongue slips past her lips
I engage in battle with just the tip
She a dick virgin only by choice
The only dick her pussy has seen was by force
Our relationship, we admit has been an...

I still remember
Picking up the pieces
Of my broken
Shattered
Heart
I still remember
The day you left this world
The day you left my world
You needed your pain to die with you
I look up at the heavens
I whisper your name
All gone
You left too soon
But here I am
Broken
Shattered, vowing
To remain in solitude
Of my broken
Shattered
Heart
I still remember
The day you left this world
The day you left my world
You needed your pain to die with you
I look up at the heavens
I whisper your name
All gone
You left too soon
But here I am
Broken
Shattered, vowing
To remain in solitude

What the Heck Is Wrong With You Earthlings??!! A Halloween Quatern..not really, but I like the way Jade does those.
As you know, I'm an alien from the planet Mars(no comment Lil!!), and last year was my first encounter with the bit of insanity you call Halloween. Here is my recollection:
Disemboweled zombies appear in view!
Haggard witches cackling at you!
Pieces of body strewn on the lawn
So many tombstones, all of them gone?
Murdering hockey players(?) wielding their knives??
Bloody, crazed doctors cutting up wives??
So many bums, and hobos, and tramps
Who's blood has been drained by all of these vamps??!!
Cute, cuddly lions, and...

Silence
When I am silent,
I have thunder hidden inside.
~ Rumi
Noise germinates verbiage -
culturing communication
inside petri-dished moments
When distance dissipates
proximity dissolves necessity
of sound beyond breathing
Barrel-chested rhythms
replace words with innate understanding;
blood becomes a messenger
subcutaneously carrying
an antidote of silence
superior to our human language
What is...
I have thunder hidden inside.

Parents
The yoghurt was cowering at the back of the fridge
afraid to be found out, when suddenly, for some reason
I thought of my parents.
Father died of cancer in Feb’88:
“I fought a war against Fascism you know but mark my words
they’ll be back, they’ll be back …”
and carefully I move the large yoghurt pot to the front, avoiding knocking the eggs.
“And by the way son, listen politely to people’s advice
then do whatever you want, remember that …”
He smiles my favourite knowing smile, aware of the joke in his own advice.
He knew he had...

Red, White, Blue and Black
The flag should have some black
I'm gonna write a letter
Dear Whitey
WTF ?

the search for love
THE SEARCH FOR LOVE
Is love
The pulse racing
heaven chasing
need fulfilling
dream making
cries of night?
Or the tender kindness
in your eyes
stopping to hold the hand
of a child
as you cross the road ?
The tears you shed
at the funeral
of your much missed spouse
the ache within
when love has left
your life
The money you give
secretly
because you know
what not having
is like
The fight for those
who have not the strength
to fight
...

Full Moon Fever
He gazes at the grinning moon
With his mind becoming feral
His instincts will be sharpened soon
To inflict his brand of peril
He finds her among the graves
Naked beneath the glittering stars
She has the flesh and blood he craves
And never mind the endless scars
But it appears he found a mate
One as inclined to be a beast
They exit through the graveyard gate
Head for the city, and a feast.

a woman of a certain age
I'm frequently asked if the woman in the picture is me
the fact is it's Angelina Jolie
I don't know why I chose her for my avatar
perhaps it's because I secretly have a crush on her
the truth is I'm a woman of a certain age
my estrogen is on the slow side now
still menstruating but getting ready to stop
I have a fine little mustache that grows in
that I frequently wax off
but there's one course little hair
who persists on growing
and the strange thing is I like it
I like to run my fingers over its roughness ...
