Searching for the words
I swear that missing words; ideas
must adhere to poetic hangers
in some dark closet
locked away
they're elusive; unclear;
barely visible through the crack
just above pockets of mislaid intentions
and belts
that wrap around pages
long and empty
and there are ghosts inside;
poems I'd written that failed
hanging in the cold corner
they're the ones that frighten me
the ink in my pen
has become impotant
like seeds spread
in useless...

Senryu - Does Poetry Cease?
Pulse, CHECK! Sound mind, CHECK!
till that changes, write, write, write
dig deeper, it's there
till that changes, write, write, write
dig deeper, it's there

Erotica VS. Pornography: Learn the difference!
Erotica”; the root of the word is derived from Eros, the mythical God of sexual LOVE. Erotica expresses sexual love in an artful way.
“Pornography”; the root of the word is derived from the Greek “porni”, meaning PROSTITUTE. Porn expresses sex, without art. Porn titillates the libido through repression, violence, incest and other social taboos, gratuitous use of degrading slang, disrespect and/or wanton perversion.
Both forms may have a place and an audience, BUT they are NOT synonymous. (I’ve written both.)

Magic Wands
Poets command pens like wands
creating magic at will
Ink spills
tattooed upon pages
epic skills to be savoured,
Verbalised visions of engagement from intuitive minds
all sorts of flavours....
witches and wizards
stir cauldrons of rhythm
Mixtures of culture
Binded by mutual pleasure
Coverns created bringing
The like minded together
Casting poetic spells
So our words live on forever
creating magic at will
Ink spills
tattooed upon pages
epic skills to be savoured,
Verbalised visions of engagement from intuitive minds
all sorts of flavours....
witches and wizards
stir cauldrons of rhythm
Mixtures of culture
Binded by mutual pleasure
Coverns created bringing
The like minded together
Casting poetic spells
So our words live on forever

Crumpled paper
Crumpled paper lays upon the desk
Evidence of Hesitance I need to neglect
Coffee cup marks in sink
Almost like the Olympic rings
Evidence of hours long past
Darkness lingers,
frustration grows
Blisters on fingers trying to get this ink to flow,
inspiration comes and goes
I sit froze,
silent,
as my heartbeat slows
What should I write?,haiku , poetic prose who knows,
writers block blows.....

Blue Light
There is none of my kind
around anymore
No brother, no sister,
no friendship bracelet
or late night caller
No wisp of fabric
that makes you turn
your head around
Written melody is
nothing new but
if you stand beside
me, fair enough,
like upon like
little smiles.
I will be the happiest
girl in the world.
If you wave goodbye,
dismissal of the day,
the music will continue
on until I can give
you no more.
Naked at the poker game.
I will myself to find
the perfect road to ...

Don't Lecture Me
Your prosaic verses choke the poet,
Residing deep in my zealous heart.
Once it dies, I can’t relight it
Even with infinities of moonlight.
The glimpse of sunsets will dissolve within azure eyes,
And won’t be outshining the moon in my journey,
Toward supreme destiny.
Rivulets capturing the memories,
Will evaporate,
And.
No more will the poetess in me stay alive.
No more will the moon glows outshine my stars.
No more will my hymns be audible to scarred souls.
No more will my cindered heart escape the ashen death.
And no more,...
Residing deep in my zealous heart.
Once it dies, I can’t relight it
Even with infinities of moonlight.
The glimpse of sunsets will dissolve within azure eyes,
And won’t be outshining the moon in my journey,
Toward supreme destiny.
Rivulets capturing the memories,
Will evaporate,
And.
No more will the poetess in me stay alive.
No more will the moon glows outshine my stars.
No more will my hymns be audible to scarred souls.
No more will my cindered heart escape the ashen death.
And no more,...

Word play - still learning
Visualising words levitating in my head
Telleporting from pen to paper
Before another page becomes irrelevant
My hope is to be influential
It's Detrimental to have another page torn,
so I perform lyrical heatwaves to try to keep your brain warm...
And was I born with it ?
no.... i am not academical
but if I work hard at it
Do I have the credentials to become a
Phraseoligist natural philosopher wordsmith
A Metaphorical lyricist with the strategic
Abilities to make your mind twist
Despite what you...

Written In Red
Red ink
Like blood
Leaks
Onto virgin white paper
Soulless, empty
Wordless
The sanctity of the heart
Lies hollow
Shallow echoes
Pained
Rain falls
Clouds
Dark, and dank
Lightning flickers
Like tree roots
Reaches out
Across the darkening sky
Rivers run deep
Then dry
And i wonder
As i wander
Across the plains
Of the surreal
Remembering
That i still feel
The emotions
Of my beating heart
But feel as lost
As a butterfly
Who has lost its wings
As i...

An occupational hazard
I like to write poems
but struggle with rhyming—
to do that, you need to have
rhythm and timing meter.
Some knowledge of synonyms
won't go amiss—
so if that word doesn't fit,
you can use this another.
It pays to make sure
that each rhyming word's strong
because if they're not equal,
the poem sounds wrong contrived.
I find that by rhyming
my poems sound flimsy,
although I appreciate
humour and whimsy lightheartedness
Perhaps I should stick
to my usual style,
because...

Life Moments!
that moment, when you've mislaid a gov document, that you know is very important, and is a government letter that you vaguely remember said in bold letters, KEEP SAFE, and you also know, that you could possess a million tomes of paperwork. then commences the search....still not found it, but found my original handwritten degree dissertation that i dated April 1996, and it has 3 pages of bibliography, and you wonder how on earth did i manage that! and you also remember the stress of leaving it until the last minute, and so wrote a 10,000 word dissertation in about 5 days, titled: An...
