"Light...Hovers"
"Light...Hovers"
Light...hovers.
An obtuse rectangle in the sky.
People crane back their heads,
looking, wondering, maybe even weeping.
Some asking, waiting for a reply.
Light...hovers.
Twisting...turning...melding.
A different shape to all who choose to view.
Ingrained into the deepest self.
What could, what should, what did/I didn't do?
I look in consternation.
Images shaping for me high above.
I see the past as I have learned,
lessons strangled by said glove.

Rainbow
Rainbow
We have a rainbow between us,
you and I.
And though you may be unable to see it
I can spot it with my eye.
There is so much color,
beautiful and true!
And it is a triple rainbow!
No. Not just a single one.
At the other end, my pot of gold.
At the other end maybe you.
Maybe this is just a dream
from which I do not want to awaken.
I only know you in dreams this way.
My god, my heart you have taken!
Is this rainbow somehow in your world?
Would you spot it if you tried
or is...

The Mattress Bleeds
The Mattress Bleeds”
One more down with more to go.
This woman in my bed.
A night of such incredible lust.
The mattress must be fed.
I will come to you.
You will come to me.
Let us drink and chat a while.
You are sure to become inebriated
and that gives me a smile.
Let me take you home tonight.
Let us make love and then soon sleep.
Come morning brings you breakfast in bed
then I will watch you scream and weep.
Soon you are shackled in my bed.
I laugh seeing your fear.
I torcher you in...

"Skating On Porcelain"
Skating On Porcelain”
Sometimes I like the way
the carpeting feels on bare feet.
Other times I walk barefoot in the parking lot
not caring if I get cut.
Outside, at night, the moon has a ring
and the constellations fight for ultimate supremacy.
To the right, a flickering light,
most likely a candle.
The flame dancing around.
It makes me think of you.
My flame.
Now I skate on porcelain anymore with you
looking down on me.
You and that delicious smile.
I circle 'round and 'round and...

"Dork"
Dork”
Dork from planet “Dorkus” is traveling through space.
He is dodging many asteroids to come visit this place.
Dork's ship is zipping past planets going warp factor nine.
Earth is coming into view.
Dork is making a beeline.
But why is the “Dork” coming? What does he have on his mind?
A “Dorkus” coming to our home? We better hope that he is kind.
NASA has him now on radar. They say that soon he will be in view.
All around people are wondering just what the hell they should do!
Soon NASA will have a visual of...

She's Hollow
She's Hollow”
Her first thought was then to pull out his left eye
with him screaming and clawing,
with him crying out “Why!!”
Her blank, hollow stare.
The blood beginning to flow.
He chained to a table with nowhere to go.
She then took the right arm amid heavy blood spatter
and then took the left, by now what did it matter?
He lashing and pleading,
“Honey, won't you please stop!!!”
So she took both his feet with a Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop!
We might ask of her reasons or is she just mad?
Slowly...

The Storm
The Storm”
The mechanical noise starts up.
He hears it.
Feels it.
It is coming slowly up the hallway
to his room.
It is a dark and stormy night.
That all too famous line.
And it has come back to him tonight.
It has come back to say, “Boo!” and laugh.
“I love you,” it says.
Little green man.
Muscular, little green man
slips through the closet door,
back out now looking at him,
then to the hallway
and back to him with a worried face.
It is coming closer and little green man ...

The Ravine
The Ravine
A bloody night.
Do not listen to the gurgling screams
of the bodies lying at the bottom of the ravine.
Instead, close the window with a SLAM
to silence the damned.
Close the curtains should you not spy
the red eye looking in of a soul climbed
from the ravine.
Lie in bed in mockery.
You know you will not sleep.
Hear the “creakkk, creakkk, creakkk creak”
of the old, wooden stairway generations now in your blood.
It tries to tell you in its own, special way,
“someone is here! Someone...

African American Man
African American Man
Hey there African American man takin' a walk tonight.
Don't you know the police will get you cuz what you doin' there ain't right?
They're gonna come harass you,
it's their way.
You know they just can't leave you be.
Hey there African American man
have we learned from history?
Hey there African American man,
what'chu up to bet no good?
Watched and labeled by many folks
the ones who never understood.
You're searchin' for a break-in,
you're dealin' drugs.
Here come the car now...

Today
Today
I long for you to whisper your words of contentment
while I listen with a bloody ear.
In those brief moments when hearing your song
for a time existence feels right.
Time's come with your voice
when pain dissolves into absolution,
when I feel there is a place of mind.
Time's come through you where for a little while
I feel I am right and at home.
I have time to think for now
and I have purpose where before I felt there was none.
It is not time for embracing your welcoming arms however, ...

Spirits At War
Spirits At War
When I looked into your eyes
sometimes I would see warmth, compassion.
Other times I would see death and destruction.
I never knew which it was going to be
when I looked at you and you looked at me.
For a time I lived a lie in red anger.
Out of viciousness I believed it was always lies, cheating
and I hated every one of you.
Since I have realized through others that my belief is not so true
and therefore not fair to despise all of you.
Now my beliefs are based on percentages.
The majority...

Until Sun
Until Sun
Stay with me till morning.
Let me wake not into night.
Leave me be content in holding you
for as long as I might.
And when daytime must begin again
let our love flow into my heart.
Leave me reminiscing of your smile
motivating me to start.
My dream within a dream
you are that which I so desire
but shall not have there will be no
quenching this soul's eternal fire.
But in dreams where inhibitions
lie scattered across the floor.
They are of no use within this world
I...
