Deja View
Some properties
of the mind
are quantum
psychology's answer
to these outrageous
effects
within the field
of operational
function;
a priori points
of consciousness
extended
as inductive
pathways
of significance
become
indistinguishable
between good guesses
and genetic
predispositions:
Maybe we were born
this way.
Fractal examinations
of material composition
may reveal
that elemental structure
and self-awareness
are inevitable partners.

Allowing
To watch
and endlessly wait
until some future time
when
And then too,
hoping
and all the while
Making excuses
and then
Finally
But then backing away
and not
Your purse is still
in the car
in the back seat
And decades
of moving along
and never
actually leaving

First Date Love
Don't you just want to get out here?
I think I had a little too much beer;
my mind is like whirlwind
and I feel like I'm going insane.
When I get around you,
I just don't know what I'll do;
Baby, I'm a basket case when
I'm here with you.
I really don't know
which way to call my up;
my in is out, my out is in.
and I everything I think is right
is something they call sin.
You make me feel so free;
I don't know what to do,
'cause when I'm without you
then my world starts turning blue.
The reason that I...

Blank Stares
She watched
the men dancing,
giving their best
to show their stuff,
muscle and sinew,
and there
in the audience,
unflinchingly
rigid,
she was
so disconnected
that if no film
had been on
and they had been
sitting alone
in the dark,
it wound not
have been
any more
or any
less sensual.
Her libido
was so dulled
that the nearly naked,
the sweating invitations,
the throbbing,
and gyrations
were merely
bad dancing
that had made little
or no impression
other...

"MAKE LOVE TO ME IN WORDS"
They've not repealed the syntax,
semantics on the page,
and then there's always diction,
linguistic's all the rage,
but if there's something
hot to spot
and phrases steal the show,
deconstruction strips you down
and diagrammed you'll go.
And then there's where to put
those subtle exclamations,
marked by all those breathing sighs,
those oh's and ah's in stations.
Yes, and your inner voice,
it's noted disyllabic,
and echoed
in the bedroom as
thrillingly iambic.
To grasp a stem and firmly hint ...

Modern Life
Modern Life
It well
may be
that we
spend our lives
attempting to build
a debt
for others
so that they
can have
the privilege
of paying us
to tell us
just how
wonderfully
we have filled
the need
we convinced them
they had.

Cross-Synchronization
She on this path
he on that path
neither one
on the same path
although their paths
are on each other's paths
for intersection.
Nothing to do to avoid it
one universe on this branch
another universe on that branch
both branches in the same multiverse
and nothing to do but wait
and then sooner or later
a déjà vu of reincarnation,
a cliptic vibratory tonality
like a reintarnation
and they are at it again
in another time
in another space
all the same
with different colors
and languages,
but...

In an Instant
A day
of health
is all
that matters...
we ask
for the moon
and get a rock.....
sometimes
a few hours
of life
is all we get.....
it takes
a little practice
to live longer.
Think about the stars;
they live a twinkle
at a time.
A few drops,
a grain of sand,
the reflection
of a glint,
and in an instant,
the world
is transformed
into either
nothing
or everything
there is.

Inflection
The tone in her voice as she coiled by my side.
the textured soft skin and her silken lips shied,
Each mumbled breath as she slept unaware,
her limber caresses and careless free care:
these are the visions that take up my view;
all I can see are these visions of you.
Tossed to the staircase all those layers and clothes.
and there in the mirror your mouth and your nose;
the ten thousand errands you've sent me out on,
off to the baker's or else to the pond.
So many memories fresh in my mind,
not one I'm willing to leave left behind:...

On Haiku
That Basho had
complete command,
a biometric meter,
to speak a given line
in hand,
some seventeen
syllabic notes
and oddly scansioned
reader,
does not undo
the needed note
that lends
the quest
at bay,
in any given
moment,
on any given day,
his breathe
remained identical,
and he was held
no cuckoo;
only his
was just right there,
for, he breathed
just like Kinsaku.

Go Down HO Down: Make up Sex, New Age Cowboy Style
The trouble that we went through to have a little fling
still later was sweet energy that lost what it could bring.
If what you need is to release and lose all your control,
then why waste time, just get in line, and let your body roll.
Whatever courage that it takes to get your crevice wet
is always at your beck and call and never mind, "Not yet!"
We can go for days and days in Kundalini fire,
we'll turn up all the music then and sing until we're higher!
So, don't waste time by picking at some sore or kicking dogs,
'cause if we play...
