He Never Saw Me (at the Club)
He never saw me come to him
With music smoke rings in my hair.
Where others mingled on the rim,
While sitting at a table there.
So unaware how women stalk,
To cross the room where he was at.
With tabby stripes of stealthy walk,
As if to slink more like a cat.
But here I was beside his chair,
A color strobe lit up my face
Just as he turn’d look’d up to stare,
And so did others in the place.
I moved & leaned to let him guess.
His eyelids lower’d from the scent,
The sparkl’d mesh of cocktail...
With music smoke rings in my hair.
Where others mingled on the rim,
While sitting at a table there.
So unaware how women stalk,
To cross the room where he was at.
With tabby stripes of stealthy walk,
As if to slink more like a cat.
But here I was beside his chair,
A color strobe lit up my face
Just as he turn’d look’d up to stare,
And so did others in the place.
I moved & leaned to let him guess.
His eyelids lower’d from the scent,
The sparkl’d mesh of cocktail...

Moon Child
Each night of overcast protection
When the air is filled with coastal haze,
Light of fair orb’s rising reflection
Is seeking while hidden from my gaze.
She graces each day, ev’ry ev’ning,
Hoping notes of my love she will find.
Sending tears of stars while believing,
Praying for my words the sweet’st kind.
I peer in the mist for my ember,
As my thoughts tell her listen be still.
On nights you think I won’t remember,
But of course, dear child, I always will.
My love, Moon’s affection, I’ve missed you ...
When the air is filled with coastal haze,
Light of fair orb’s rising reflection
Is seeking while hidden from my gaze.
She graces each day, ev’ry ev’ning,
Hoping notes of my love she will find.
Sending tears of stars while believing,
Praying for my words the sweet’st kind.
I peer in the mist for my ember,
As my thoughts tell her listen be still.
On nights you think I won’t remember,
But of course, dear child, I always will.
My love, Moon’s affection, I’ve missed you ...

ECLIPSE
(a Sonnet of betrayal from long ago)
I scan galactic coastlines that reckon,
Stretching endlessly through time warpage thus.
For how your pale crusades lull and beckon,
As I seek parallels in quietus.
While my own floats free near your fingertips
With each passing nano second's death knell,
Doub'ling the length from my scarified hips
Where a flaming phoenix once rose and fell.
There never were past lives serenity,
Since the way I think there are no seashores.
Nor siren song's echo’d meant so for me, ...

Atrium
( a Sonnet )
The pinks of upper desert where I go,
The season slakes its thirst ‘ere mesa bleed.
When brash santanas barrel bending low,
To scorch and turn all into tumbleweed.
But come a blight the wind of colder days,
And raises twice the altitude of hush.
A hidden veil to bring a new moon phase,
This constellation arc of whisper’d rush.
And never was the nape of sky so deep,
From where I watch and see a universe.
To be all this and nevermore to sleep,
But dreams are how I’m able to traverse. ...

Empty Bowl
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”
When I’d been diagnosed,
It was the first string of
Medical jab & sting
Over the years
In longer worms
Of consequences
From that first recognition.
But it was the first one, as it
Fled the doctor's lips
Like a gypsy moth.
His stolen words,
Crude & mute,
That flew in my ear
With rice flour wings.
Before then, I was immortal, ...

APACHE
In middle school it was, as I recall
When I first saw him on the playground race.
A band of other boys were chasing him
As he was galloping the sand pit run.
I know it does, but yes, you heard me right,
This braying boy was slapping on his haunch.
That’s why I swear I heard a pony shout,
A shrill bone whistle as he whoop’d about.
The next time I was walking home from class,
I hadn’t any money for the bus.
Before I knew it there he was again
With gravel flying, barefoot, as he passed.
It's funny how much time...

Barnacle
distant wings out to sea
the loneliest sound ever heard
the call of a gull drifts
full sail
on the grey of early morn’
I walk the dunes between
foam-kissed shoreline
misty hillocks of sea grass
that lean
when incoming waves exhale
dark hair in my eyes
that scan the wandering coast
and the figure of a girl
who walks
alone and barefoot
straw hair & wind-swept brow
pale eyes peering
drawing near
her mouth
soften’d in acceptance
passing each other ...

Jelly Bean
Boy, you want that trophy BAD.
Yah, you heard just what I said.
But do you know what I mean,
Jelly bean?
Your path to success
Is how you express
Reads the magnet on your ‘fridge.
You got me, Stonewall?
Boy you got a nerve,
And it’s mine, ya perve!
So you go fly a kite!
Who told you you could write?
Your pet turtle named Myrtle.
But that’s an insult to turtles,
Right!
When do you find time to compose
With index finger up your ass
Or your nose? Only Kleenex...

Generation(s)
A darkness is witness’d; forces await,
Who ne’er knew that they were blind’d of sight.
Although, ‘twas always their destiny, fate,
Had wandering mind, to seek out the light.
A world, a universe within this blight,
Of which their minion birth’d cannot compare.
The twilight that they know both day & night,
The stars send them clues to breathe in like air!
Shrivel’d pale orbs, useless were, over time,
Space travel’ing from the brain through the void.
‘All is lost’ is not the slope that they climb,
To champion...

Sex and Politics
Ahhh, dirty sex and politics,
A combo never getting old.
To beat the devil at his game
And leave him standing in the cold.
But tell the truth, it’s all the same,
The Church & State can’t do a thing
When White House staffers get their kicks
While flying high Route 6-6-6.
The sex is bad, or should I talk
From unused prophylactic shock.
When Stormy weather rocks the ship,
She otherwise is well-equipped.
The overuse of eyelash fringe
Takes more than that to make me cringe,
...

Candy Ass
As night slow-gestures from my prose,
There’s nothing I know that comes close;
The second dumpster to the right,
And straight on till the morning light.
There’s no sunrise can shed its night,
A sunset in the throes of flight,
That holds a promise near in debt,
A mutt that shakes its fur of wet.
As envied as the honored vet:
He’s known by other prison con
As zip code two four six O one,
Who...
