Poet Introduction
Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect- Steven Wright
WINE FED HAIKU
(spring)
Given time I melt
like springtime in a bottle
does a winter freeze
Heartbeats like wings carry
the edge of Persephone
Always in rebirth
Lady of the Sun
glistening orchid of chance
dew drop lovers tongue
(summer)
Living life fully
basking middays summer fun
Lovers on the run
Taking to the road
we the heat blowing just so
clothe ourselves in love
...

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY DESTROYER
b]An ardent mass licks
the edge beckoning
dripping in pools
as black mirrors stain.
The scry to get free
tepid hands turn cold.
They race patience
slowly biting fringes
of the cold steel care
hours of that dust
over there, in the corner.
Wall and fiber gleam
as the dust gathers
a fist upon the light
closes slowly
and death belongs
only
by thy own hand.
Growls are heard
through the floor...
the edge beckoning
dripping in pools
as black mirrors stain.
The scry to get free
tepid hands turn cold.
They race patience
slowly biting fringes
of the cold steel care
hours of that dust
over there, in the corner.
Wall and fiber gleam
as the dust gathers
a fist upon the light
closes slowly
and death belongs
only
by thy own hand.

Daily Bread
He walked out of a store
Bread in hand
dough in the other.
Envisioned Her standing
stillness in the street
only movement, was.
His racing Heart, thumping
outlines, reverberating Images
that become clearer with time.
Pacing his breath so
as not to pass out,
collapses upon his
dreamy thoughts.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow
Infinite Delicate Perfection.
where shall we the stream
flow in hope the sea...
mini are crafts that bring us
to encompassing the Ark.
Floating along right in...

Soulful night Dawn (A Grace and Soul collab.)
Perfect
Realizations
Awake, drifting
Gathering in wander
Regaled imperfect roads
Travelled ones leading home
Life long search of my distant star
To set upon midnights hope plush gaze
Cry star fall as wishes plummet burning earth
Taken as blood pumped in silent screams
As a dark touch lingers voiding soft light
One separate heart beats bleak days
Held in crumble taped waited way
Shucks without pearls swing

Soulful Dawn
Fingers of sunrays through my hair
smile of brightness into my eyes
whispers of good mornings
fragrance of promises
through coffee lips
listening quietly
gossamer
touches
love.

She studied Psychosophy
Fluorescein outlined Her lips
Full, puckering and pursed
spraying accentuated dogma
upon her supple wrists
I smiled, how could I not
such Beauty borne is velvet
forever
Taking strands of silver
I wrapped it around my Heart
better than gold these loops
meticulously stitched and sewn
Breathing Breezes blown cadence
sun swings above, radiant
straddling stratosphere
Peppered as the seasons
black, white, green and red
hue curried sparkle-eyed tongue
listen this one
sounds sing
songs...

Dishing out
I watched You break
shattered bitter littered
spilling, bathroom floor
O how the cool laying crawl
soothes the face and mind
like the loving touch lost
dribble spills warm
replaced by streams
tear duct tea
warmer still,
SO hot You were
defending heart now torn
slick sickening cauldron
boiling flush
now pounding
got hotter eh
sick with it
thousand degrees
You spilt stuff there
fuck it
who cares
drunk on spinning words
some with love others hurled
those you wish,...

Reincarnation of an armed guard
Finally...
breathing...
taking this suit off...
I love my armor, served me well
donned in the age of Yore, battling
black pits of hell, chinks you see
strips, these the case may be
are but from finding me...
Shining, bright Magic flows from it
warding off danger
I took trips fraught with angles
dot and blotted along the way
pierced by dragons in lairs.
The armor strengthened...
living the life of the court, alone
walking fares, still...

Lovers Inked
falling stars on eyes
sparkles
love giver, lost
in love trust
embraces
rain on eaves
gentle soothing
the slow dance meet
soul and heart entwine
dewdrops on lips
of hopes
promise
herein tomorrow's dreams
hipped
this breath, warm
wet
pressed
full now, direct
entwined
hearts pretzel
swathed in presence
glows, wrapped tight
beat slow, beat flow
sliding sync, lovers ink
moistened stars, glided sky
passion pursed
unzipped
temperature
tempts
whispering...

Instance Creeping
so what's the speed of dark?
Creeping along the edge, our universe
expanding this same manner
popping up within galaxies
vacuums void, infer life
stars dust shaken, yanked in thrust
Black hole gardens, destruction
Diligent
Apocalyptic
Raging
Kaon-s
The man headed home, dragging feat
fates delayed by way of pharmacy
screaming foul swift winds, cursing
sends in the rush of an unfed junkie
fixing the man with a glazed...

Alone in vanity
an Heir brushed , swathed
in the day wrapped fragrant
by cooing doves lilac strands
perched high and proud
light rays beam, colour streaks
adorns the one vanity speaks
ever beside tiers statue in life
ruffle the plumage tarry naught
sayeth the frog aside in the dark
yellow bells ring sympathy, to thee
for thou will croak before I
never knowing, true doves cry
only warbles at Your feet
as I see it, in bliss I sit
awaiting my one princess kiss

Dawn Dancers (A Grace And Souladareatease collab)
Dancing the edge of the light
within shadows of the dark
their each step, beats free
with the sound once lonely heart
now glowing sparks, twine time
the songs play, softly
Songs like beating wings of dove
Fluttering against the winds of time
Against cold nights it travels forth
Towards afar and then beyond
Traverse time as yet unknown
Knocks on door, as yet unopened
Sounds that serenade rounds carry couple
Cards in a deck together shuffle
making a break in their way
lips coo on the breeze
Lovers’ lavish lattice layered...
