This is Wrong...
The rumpled sheets
Touch me with their coldness
The feelings I can’t repeat
Still play in my mind
On my body
The parts of me that ache
Forces me to deceive them
To relieve them of their pain
Your body stained
Now that you’re gone
The phantom of you
lingers on
in the stroke
of a willing hand
But these are the lies
They aren’t real
You are not what I feel
This is wrong…..
My hand is almost gone
The warmth surrounds me
fills me gratifies,
I slide down remembering
how you pinned me...
Touch me with their coldness
The feelings I can’t repeat
Still play in my mind
On my body
The parts of me that ache
Forces me to deceive them
To relieve them of their pain
Your body stained
Now that you’re gone
The phantom of you
lingers on
in the stroke
of a willing hand
But these are the lies
They aren’t real
You are not what I feel
This is wrong…..
My hand is almost gone
The warmth surrounds me
fills me gratifies,
I slide down remembering
how you pinned me...

Sunday Afternoon
A strong spring breeze
Flutters white curtains of an open window
rays of a noonday sun
brighten the room with a raspberry hue
Saturating it in honeysuckle scent
Read and discarded
Sunday’s paper scatters across the wooden floor
Suddenly a page takes flight, gracefully falling
Contrary with the soft sounds of smooth jazz
Soiled dishes , cold coffee
Silent flashes of cellphones
waits on the nightstand abandon
Beside an unmade bed
In delighted bliss
prone on the littered floor
a bead of sweat rolls ...

The State of My Heartbeat
Deliberated, it beats
Sheathed in bone and meat
Strokes, fluid and rhythmic
Measured and unhurried
Pulses racing anticipation
a flutter , passion beats
throbbing in carnal
Sensual yearning
apprehensive , it thumps
Defect, a single fissure
rhythm slows
Timid, caution
Step lightly it warms
Sheathed in bone and meat
Strokes, fluid and rhythmic
Measured and unhurried
Pulses racing anticipation
a flutter , passion beats
throbbing in carnal
Sensual yearning
apprehensive , it thumps
Defect, a single fissure
rhythm slows
Timid, caution
Step lightly it warms

Rooted
Brown eyes, penetrated
Revised my passion
his soft kiss
brought sweet bliss
strong hands caressed
and blessed
my wounded heart
The fruits of love
Entwined me in his roots
Intertwined , sinking deep,
Love forged new pathways
within our essence
his ending became my beginning
the core of one soul
Rooted
Revised my passion
his soft kiss
brought sweet bliss
strong hands caressed
and blessed
my wounded heart
The fruits of love
Entwined me in his roots
Intertwined , sinking deep,
Love forged new pathways
within our essence
his ending became my beginning
the core of one soul

Blowing in the Wind
Here I am again waiting
Watching the wind blow the sands
I’m waiting…… to change these opinions
To be moved by you… waiting
I’m ready to let go of my inhibitions
My fears and… my perception
Of what I thought I knew
I’m ready to turn
Like the blowing of the sand
Turn…… to what is possible
I’m ready to let go of my fears
To seek purpose in this life of tears
Was I made to live in a world
That wasn’t always meant for good,
That wasn’t always meant to be cruel
I’m here for greater things
Perhaps to fly with...

I Flew
I flew last night
My soul taking flight
From an outstretched hand
Of this earthbound vessel
Like a cannery eager
To see a world beyond me
I flew away with open glee
Horizon cresting
Orange meeting yellow
Stories enfolded
In faces and places
My soul saw wonders too vast to behold
Despite Dark Spirits descending
Like vultures of prey, Light’s simplicity
Held supreme in the heart of those in the trenches
I flew yet higher, to the stars I soared
Listening to the harmonious song
Of planetary message
I hovered in repose,...

Shut the f**k Up!
You keep telling me
what I’ve already heard
no matter what you say
They ain’t nothing but words
The truth might be in them
and they probably make sense to you
I just know how they make me feel
I know what’s real, but you keep talking
Your persistent buzzing,
in my left ear, is like
a fly trying to escape from a closed window
You can take just so much of that noise
before you either let it out
or kill the fucker
SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

A Patch of Blue
Silent whispers
of a winter’s gust
Bellowing waves streaming
in concave shades of gray
Bare masses of lithe statues
bend in reverence
to the perception
Teardrops splatter
like children's laughter
reflects heaven pool
in mucky wade
Black ink gathering
squalls to reach heights
Falter in attempts of flight
All directs the eye
Amidst the gloom
vastness envisioned
in a patch of blue
of a winter’s gust
Bellowing waves streaming
in concave shades of gray
Bare masses of lithe statues
bend in reverence
to the perception
Teardrops splatter
like children's laughter
reflects heaven pool
in mucky wade
Black ink gathering
squalls to reach heights
Falter in attempts of flight
All directs the eye
Amidst the gloom
vastness envisioned
in a patch of blue

Silhouette
I feel like a silhouette
A shadow of myself
Disfigured in outline
A shape not defined
Just a line in profile
Shapes in shades of grey
outside myself, I see my
silhouette, it feels as if
I'm not here
A shadow of myself
Disfigured in outline
A shape not defined
Just a line in profile
Shapes in shades of grey
outside myself, I see my
silhouette, it feels as if
I'm not here

Smoke
I feel like smoke
That vapor inhaled deeply
suspended within love sweetly
held intimate inside, a gas
filling the empty spaces
the miasma that covered
your open wounds
but then you said I choked you
and expelled me in a misty spray
I became ether
a haze, that cloud that surrounds you
the fog that follows until I disappear
inside the pall of despair

Mother's Pride and Joy
Mother birth and gave nutrients
Protection, encouragement
To her male child, her heart,
while holding his small hand
Mother educated, her little man
provided him with loved and religion
through adolescent’s trials
Give her last, did without, sacrificed
to make him a strong man
Mother gave what she never had
unrequited parental love
Her pride and joy
This child could do no wrong in mother’s eyes
The day they came to take him away
She fought and pleaded, “Not my boy, he wouldn’t do this.”
He...

Warriors on Display
Shirts and skins on the battlefield
Sweat shiny luster
Muscle tensely bulging
Agile resilient angels
Adam in his birth
Opposing fractions
Forcing their wells
Pushing and shoving
testosterone pouring
male sex rebelling
In the trenches, fighting for position
the dozen spoke, under breath to again advantage
the war raged, cursing ,swearing, yelling
Young bulls head butting, primal
Blows, jabbing, clothes ripped
Punching ribs, cutting elbows
Struggling to gain the prize
...
