posterity
Posterity
Adam, the man, was up early and stood on the terrace
his body was pale as the unborn sun
sitting on the low wall on the terrace, he evacuated
down to the roof of a neighbour.
Since he didn’t have paper, he wrote on the wall
“I shat here!”
Later, the woman who makes the breakfast and
clean the house came; an elderly maid, who had
seen it all.
While Adam was breakfasting came to the terrace
hosed down the offending words.
Adam’s pathetic attempts to be remembered for
posterity was in vain.

Dedicated x’s Thirty
( DUP’s NaPoWriMo 2018 )
I keel’ed over,
Knock’d out, shock’d,
Once it hit me—
Another year
Another “dollar”,
My system, spent;
Worthy investment
In dedication.
Another NaPo’s
Come and gone,
Though unlike any
Road this poet’s done.
I crash’d and burn’d,
On my feet & then
To bed all day,
Perchance to sleep.
No phone no dreams,
Short-circuited.
Middle o’ the night,
I shuffle over
Blurry-eyed
In my slippers
To thank

At Last, The Muse Gets Real
(sonnet)
Ungodly hell! You pick today to turn
Your face and show your scaly lizard soul.
Twenty-nine days you let your alter burn,
And last day, Muse, my black heart you extol.
Did I not please? Did I not offer well
The guiling whispers of my desp’rate need?
Did I not write the self you’d have me tell?
But no, Lizard Muse, now you’d have me bleed.
So hear, in clever verse my wants express,
That life itself would never bring to me.
I hide, in turn of phrase, my heart’s distress,
That versely sate might end...

Sermon
Loosen’d bondage, silken laces,
Sin in hallow’d satin places,
Tender kisses tasting traces
From her lover’s oral graces.
Drifting dunes like sandy beaches,
What he wants of her he reaches.
In the scent & shade of peaches
Is the sermon that she preaches.
Leaning forward gently touching
Trails of salty tears of weeping.
Render’d lover I am dreaming;
Moon has secret, am I sleeping?
As his breath meets w’ her sighing,
Pressing closest, deepest finding;
Yes, my love, you have me flying ...
Sin in hallow’d satin places,

Trails of salty tears of weeping.

You Ruined It For Me
An Exercise In Expression
( Disclaimer to the Reader: This is not about someone you know. )
I read you and you swallow me whole.
Realizing at that moment how you’ve
Stripped me of my finest harvest,
Gathered only moments before
To mix in my muse blender.
To prepare a cobbler of shattering delights
(With just the right amount of cinnamon);
Golden flakey crust, and still warm.
And eye-rolling sensory, using
Exclamations and expletives
That hadn’t been born till then.
Your “catch up”...

A Day
Rain comes down
pattering against glass panes
a scattering of showers
Cars rush past outside
susurration sounds
skimming water with wheels
Grey clouds hang above
temporary backdrop
muted and reserved
just there
no more intent than that;
makeshift weather for today
nothing special
time for reflection
Rejuvenation in the austerity
Minimalism expressed
in depth analysis not necessary
merely enjoy the space
Leaves on trees lazily swing
bounced by the droplets
or swayed by the minor wind ...

Death By Cheerios
The honey-nut variety
From half a dozen of its ilk.
Just bone dry without any milk,
No almond, soy or coconut.
I honestly can’t say the words.
I’m eating it like raisin turds.
There goes one flying by my face,
I tried to toss it, missed a space.
I’ll never find it on the rug,
These bastards do me like a drug!
And 6 months later, petrified,
I’ll find it laying where it died.
It tried committing suicide,
With other brothers mummified.
It’s really gross, I’ll relocate
Just ‘cause...

Polyamorous With A Family!
Sometimes, a man has to write

He could slap it

Choose self
slam an observation
call it love
if you lucky
He'll add it to dark

Or he may
just go completely metalic
and green

There is power in words,
just ask anyone who plays a healer class;
words can revive the dying
and help the party survive
even as the system seeks to grind them down,
as the fighters roar their rage
and the casters create destruction
from but a few syllables.
As for the players themselves
a few words can convey their tale
make you feel the pressure
join in the joys and sorrow
and have empathy for the epic.
Whether the words are wielded
as weapons to blast the goblins
or as shields to heal the ailing
or to simply...

Clandestina
Yep, that’s my name, don’t wear it out,
It means one day, someday, we’ll meet.
It’s hard to say without my teeth.
Well I know we met yesterday.
I may be old but I ain’t dead - not yet.
You young’uns got life on a string.
Now when I was young this was farms.
Say, where do you think I was born,
A turnip truck go’in to town?
Heheheh , aww, gimme a break,
I got corn pads older’n you.
I like sittin’ here when I ache.
You feel that? it’s startin’ to rain,
Y’know it’s that time of the year. ...

Guess what I’m doing NOW?
(Jade Tiger visits RevolutionAL in South Africa!)
I roar & romp right up to Al’s front door
And pose w’ paws on hips growlin’ his name.
He peeks a crack & blinks then hits the floor,
I push aside the plants and grab his frame!
I pounce upon Al’s bod' as he cries "OW!”,
There's no use to object, the signs are clear.
I'm hungry for some cow, I want it now,
You can't deny the fact Ms Tiger’s HERE.
Go throw some veggies on the bar-b-que.
I'll eat the steak half...
