EASTER
Tulips in jellybeans
Giant Easter bunny
Multicoloured eggs
Which is so funny
Easter was a fertility festival
When the pagans ruled
In our modern world
Peeps make us drool
Where is the message
Of eternal redemption
That was over last night
At Easter vigil!

COSMIC FAULTS
Grey laced
Stone faced
Fake grace mistakes in outer space
Blast off, orbital
Super nova fish bowl
Space dust, moon rust
Lick the sun, out of touch
Hi world, good girl
Sit, stay
Spin and twirl
Bird’s eye
Bye, bye
Eat the clouds
Drink the sky

great so far, Thank you :-)
give me 51 words
explain yourself in a sentence
get high
and drive
for only half a mile
your penance is a death sentence
1 over,mr 1 leaf clover
if i was waitin to catch it in the front end
stick my head in the oven
i'd still end up with nothin.

HIDE AND SEEK
i sighed
a breathless gasp
in one extended
timeless moment
of suspended wonderment
as pure harmonic sound
spread its aerial wings
to lift my spirit
high above
all mundane things
unseen
that held me down
below
until i heard
and felt
the unexpected
thrilling call
of its sheer
ecstatic
freeing light
shine forth
from my
open heart
freely
out
to all

A Toast To Immortality
Power hungry
a thirst for blood
spill your vein into my cup
The immortal clock ticks time away
this thirst
this hunger
will not waver
My second face
hidden in plain sight
this smile
these blue eyes
my beautiful lie...

LVI
Be wary, the Romans plot. Conspiracies within
confidences blossom, their epistles contradict and confuse.
Tiberius out-snakes the viper within, when Sejanus dances
the garotte at Tullianum, corpse capers down Gemonian stairs.
For three days, the mob shreds, devouring eternal peace. His three
children wrenched apart, the same stairs bodily stained.

sound waves
Fifty
words. Broken
down into syllables
and contradictions are nothing
more than sound
waves, simply
growling
up
and
down again,
until we cave
in and wholly bless
these zigzag
halos on
ears,
and
souls.
Words -
are music,
where vowels slumber
in safety, while poetry
sings its lullabies
to dreamers,
awake.

Spring into Fall
Gravel screams
follow me
to toes dangling freely
leaping into nothingness
out beyond faith
where colors of spring
muddy to browns
through tears forced
from closed eyes
wind screams past
strained ears
listening for the sound
of stretching nylon fibers
that never
forgive
