Pipe Dreams
Passing clouds of fantasy, rise from the briar bowl
Scamper along the ceiling, then disperse
Like a Hamadryad, on a dying tree
The soft cumulus without, returns to weep
Solitary droplets, splatter on the rooftops
As a rainbow arcs over the distant horizon
The sky soon clears
The cool autumn sun, shrinks with the cold
Soon, the creatures of the night
Sing a gentle serenade
As the trees stretch and yawn
In anticipation of the coming winter cold
The sun has now set
Birdsong is silenced by the hooting of an owl
As a variety of...

His Broken Heart
His Broken Heart
Old Harlon, civil war’s lost soldier,
Recruited for another army and fell in love.
Old confederate, mystical ways,
Found on a virginial field, in death’s callous grasp.
His great prowess noted from afar,
Revered by Immortalis, antediluvian.
Ancient cult of immortals seeking,
And finding mortals on the cusp, willing to bargain.
Blood drinking cannibals, eternal,
Protection sought in exchange for immortality’s curse.
Lilith, exile of Eden, mother,
Matriarch of the Immortalis, queen...

Canto IV: The Hunt
Soon thereafter camps were closed for good,
and all of us, the poor, expelled into
The Black Valley. The intervening years
put time and distance in between we two,
toiling, separate, for our families.
We met again by chance years later when,
on hunt, our villages had joined our best.
Hardened by the constant fight to breathe
the man before me bore a small resemblance
To the scrawny child planted in the earth,
and I was much the same. The time and plight
had withered from my limb all happy green.
By contrast, his was as a winter...

Some Summertime
Golden fields glisten from open windows
as Mother and child offer witness
beauty and splendor waves so soft by summer winds
They smile at blue skies neighbors kites and butterflies
it was attentions given, hula-hoop demonstrations
wile my child, She thinks in glee letting laughter win Her over
Echoes dance alongside home, green grasses plush, pushed along trucks
they have sewn in memory a soft summers day
She sets in shade secure with today...

My Friend the Rosewood Vampire
Rest inside your coffin
Until the time is right
When the sun has fled
We can both enjoy the night
I'll undo all your nails
Just when the time is right
We can play together
In the warmth of the moonlight
Shameful self promotion
I have published a novella on Amazon, It is a romantic sci-fi, it has a sex scene.
I wrote it for women and men struggling in relationships with pig headed men like myself.

Mosquito Island Inner Space
It was a dark stormy night
When through the haze
Shone a bright glassy lake
With verdant evergreen
Fringing twinging
A reflected perfect sky
Deep indigo blue like above
It went around
Between the insect sounds
Buzzing at the car door
Come on out
Into a morning crisp
Peacefulness tranquil bliss
Being along the swampy shore
Frogs leap, a shallow swim
What's just a shore!
Zooming...

My Last Sunset
They say 'misery loves company'
Glad to see you, my friend
I smoke my last cigarette
Hair blowing in the desert wind
Laying against this old truck
Just waiting for the end
My guts are hanging out
A bag of money, I'll never spend
Remembering last night, sweating
Beneath the motel ceiling fan
The only woman I ever loved
Listening to my hair brained plan
She said 'The casino is too tough'
And I said 'I'll take that bet'
I guess I'll have to pay her in hell
Now, let's watch my last sunset
Glad to see you, my friend
I smoke my last cigarette
Hair blowing in the desert wind
Laying against this old truck
Just waiting for the end
My guts are hanging out
A bag of money, I'll never spend
Remembering last night, sweating
Beneath the motel ceiling fan
The only woman I ever loved
Listening to my hair brained plan
She said 'The casino is too tough'
And I said 'I'll take that bet'
I guess I'll have to pay her in hell
Now, let's watch my last sunset

After The Rhyme
Trying to write and nothing comes
I remember when it used to be fun
Lost in the rhyme for hours on end
Falling in love with every word penned
Sending stanzas back and forth
Trying to keep up for all I was worth
Loving poetry with all your heart
Pulling me in and making me a part
World stopping and standing still
Taking both the blue and the red pill
Two years gone in the blink of an eye
Making love to each other in sexy rhyme
It’s time now to put poems aside
We need more to be satisfied
Our words of...

Keep It In The Family
Do you love anyone? Have you ever loved anyone? Are you capable of loving anyone? You would like to think ”yes” to all three questions as images of her move through your head. But if this is love, then you must be doing it wrong. At 4:30 in the morning wide awake, of course it's your fault again. Was there lying and deceit on your part? Were you actually trying to break heart? It's amazing what can be seen with just a little hind sight. At this time in the morning, not only can you see yesterday's follies, but also tomorrow's light.
You move out of the bedroom onto the couch. The other...
You move out of the bedroom onto the couch. The other...

Fairies
ancient clan
aes sídhe
fairies float
drifting as on a breeze
disappearing from one place
appearing in another
wings unnecessary
flying magically
rarely visible except
peripherally not quite in focus
never quite seen
but often in awareness
whether small as a child
or as tiny as a fly
fairies have
big hearts
(C) 2020 Raibeart Bruis

Lil Man
You don't know me
At times I'm a mystery to me
Haha, is pain to be shared or is it all for me
You would know that I'm unsavable only if you knew me
Expectations for me added and multiplied equals nothing
Life wasn't kind with my ass, it taught me everybody wanted something
But how can you forfeit something when there is nothing to give
Living on this level, it doesn't matter if you die or live
At a very young age I had to learn to fend for self
I had to feed my self while courting and fucking death ...
