Regret
You’ can’t put stupid !
back in the lamp.
You’re the one that rubbed it !!
Sit back now ,
with your spent desire .
Your lustful wish !
on the funeral pyre !
back in the lamp.
You’re the one that rubbed it !!
Sit back now ,
with your spent desire .
Your lustful wish !
on the funeral pyre !

Tilt
I love it when ‘we’ tilt !
Toward the yellow dwarf .
With his corona foaming .
Lathering us with warmth .
And the warming sea .
Laps the beach .
But for it too !
What it wants .
Is always ! !
Just out of reach .
Toward the yellow dwarf .
With his corona foaming .
Lathering us with warmth .
And the warming sea .
Laps the beach .
But for it too !
What it wants .
Is always ! !
Just out of reach .

“ To Laurie “
If I could bring back the years ,
and right the wrong .
The Pleiades and Orion .
I would turn into a song .
If I could bring back the gift !
Of our hearts to beat as one .
What all the Kings horses !
And all the Kings men ,
couldn’t do !
I would !
Just for fun !
and right the wrong .
The Pleiades and Orion .
I would turn into a song .
If I could bring back the gift !
Of our hearts to beat as one .
What all the Kings horses !
And all the Kings men ,
couldn’t do !
I would !
Just for fun !

Woman
If I drool like a gentleman,
will you sprinkle me ,
with some sugar from your bin .
If I beg like a hungry man,
will you let me in ?
Will you spread your honey on my wound.
If I write you a poem :
“ You are the fairest of them all .
Cleopatra .
Beauty adorned !
But you ! are the luster,
that adorns the beauty,
God given.
That Cleopatra ,
painted and wore “
I look now , for the light .
Ancient , ...

Listen to The Gloom
What haunts me ?
What torments me ?
What shakes my eyes ?
Pushing out tears .
Years gone By .
Wasted by the wayside ,
there they lie .
I can’t wake them up !
My hopes already tried .
Walk with me , hold my hand .
Listen to me , don’t waste the years
that you’ve got ahead .
Said the whisper , in my hearts ,
lonely bed .
Stop worrying about the ‘dead’ , along the wayside .
Let them lie , in a corner , in back of your head .
In the back parlor , of...

Sanity Gone Lame
Sanity gone lame . Get it a pharmaceutical cane !
I don’t need that , the ‘client’ exclaimed !
I’m not insane ! it’s just a little emotional pain .
Hey ! maybe get me a game ! . . .
Oh I don’t know . . . Yeah ! how about Operation !
No , forget that . . . I don’t like the sight of blood .

A ‘Morning’ Dove
A Dove , mourning.
In my morning.
Outside my window,
the sunlight storming.
Through the glass ,
I see her tear.
From the Dogwood blossoms !
she asks . . .
didn’t love used to live here.
In my mourning ,
a tear rolls , falling on the sill ,
the Dove coos on ,
mourning . . . in my morning .
Onward . . . life callously strolls ,
sometimes scorning .
In my morning.
Outside my window,
the sunlight storming.
Through the glass ,
I see her tear.

In my mourning ,
a tear rolls , falling on the sill ,
the Dove coos on ,
mourning . . . in my morning .

KEEP OFF HER LIST
She’s got her tube of lipstick
and her grocery list in hand
junk food scratched off
fools that she’s canned
she is looking hot
heat on high heels
your sidewalk squeals
stockings , dark black
seams up the back
gartered , on her talons
to where the poison seeps
honey sweet ,
burning the tongue
of the heart she meets
When her wicked beauty
knocks him off his chivalry
and into her lair
another line scratched
on her list of mans despair
Her...

SYRUP
Hidden by her beauty
lost in her charm
forgotten in her mind
remembered in her heart
with whispers ,
in the dark
Wrapped in her arms
secured with her legs
squeezing
embraced in desire
neither one begs
Sweat breaking
syrup running
toes grasping
the ground shaking
moans singing
the crickets humming ,
friction smooth
kindling point
their eyes reflect
glassy
in each other’s ...

THE GIFT BOX
Alone , marooned
echoing cries , distant thunder,
like pain , rolling out of strange ,
darkening skies
adrift on a sea , in a realm
not of the world they knew
but of stars , nebulas
memories , lost and swirled
some hung ,
on the back side of the moon
A face in the mist , up ahead
a face from the past ,
that left him for dead
at least his heart , still in shreds
the face opened its mouth
thunder clapped...

The WIDE DOOR
With forgiveness
love
trampled pride
the door to my heart
I threw open wide . .
but my Loves , love
did not venture or stride . .
A love that was true,
still growing inside
became hindered and lost . .
oh how it cried !
The pain that fell . .
like rain on the leaf
gave glimpse to the watcher,
the sadness and grief
Of a true love . . . lost . .
or taken by the thief
love
trampled pride
the door to my heart
I threw open wide . .
but my Loves , love
did not venture or stride . .
A love that was true,
still growing inside
became hindered and lost . .
oh how it cried !
The pain that fell . .
like rain on the leaf
gave glimpse to the watcher,
the sadness and grief
Of a true love . . . lost . .
or taken by the thief

All’s well that . . .
A field of Lavender
up above blue
our star beaming
warmth, golden
yellow petals too
A brook glistening
fondling the light
dancing on the eye
pristine and bright
A cloud floats,
drifting
silvery with sheen
another spectator
a most heavenly scene
A songbird singing
another harmonizing true
a bee jumps in,
humming
huh, we might as well too
A breeze, warm
fragrant and sweet
rustling the laurel,
an Angel discreet
Look !
she left stardust,...
