Trinity
And in the begining
there was darkness
"Let there be light!"
Was the light
the type that allows us to see?
Was it the sun?
Or was the light
the ability to love?
kindness?
respect?
Was the darkness
night?
Or was it a fuelled hatered
evil
lack of life?
Was darkness overcome by light?
As our world steps harshly
on each other in the 2018
Have we missed
the love
that was The Son?
As we live in pain
In hatred
In darkness ...
there was darkness
"Let there be light!"
Was the light
the type that allows us to see?
Was it the sun?
Or was the light
the ability to love?
kindness?
respect?
Was the darkness
night?
Or was it a fuelled hatered
evil
lack of life?
Was darkness overcome by light?
As our world steps harshly
on each other in the 2018
Have we missed
the love
that was The Son?
As we live in pain
In hatred
In darkness ...

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 ...

formule poésie érotique 19/30
1
leather straps remove
the warhorse lengthens its stride
that’s a hard canter
2
drop the riding crop
free hands in mane, adjust gate
how she loves posting
3
his response displays
knees high, thighs tense, softens seat
bareback is better
4
risen, rearing high
using “leg,” quick movements hold
amazing she’s upright
5
bucking, haunches fly
barely held between her...

Polysyllabic Park
Welcome,
to Polysyllabic Park.
Come see our wonderful words wander about
brought back from obscurity
using thesaurus genes.
Watch herds of Gleed
as go glowing to and fro
across the grassy fields.
See the Toonioperty
in its natural habitat:
grazing for opportunity.
The fearsome Angnaegl
stalk about in packs
unleashing pain
on those unfortunate to cross their paths.
While Forswunke
lie upon the plains
exhausted from their daily chores.
In the treetops Gorgayse
flock to flaunt their fashionable...

The Bag
Crosses the road
with her walker
and dog
Back arched
Eyes to the ground
Perfectly placed
silver hair
has a blue tinge
Stops the morning traffic
while commuters
sit in wait
for the 5 minutes
it takes to
step off the curb
put a foot in front of another
and gain
momentum
until
she reaches the other side
stepping back
up the curb
Some ass
(every morning a new one)
will hoot
or roll down the window
cursing an
obscenity
at her
The dog...
with her walker
and dog
Back arched
Eyes to the ground
Perfectly placed
silver hair
has a blue tinge
Stops the morning traffic

Creed
Grateful for knowledge
not in control
sun rises and sets
I play no role
above any one religion
beyond uncertainty
willingness to believe
in a higher entity
dogmatic doctrines
unnecessary for grace
confident belief
conduct has a place
my will internal
offers nothing more
in service, upraised
of this I am sure
learning from experience
growing spiritually
encouraging others
practising loyalty
engaging principles
of respect and fairness

Caught in an Alt-verse
(sonnet)
formule poésie érotique 20/30
Dark energy in shifting quantum runes,
As universes slide between its plates.
Germaine of nothing, time and space cocoons
In photons wake, like S’s Cat’s estate.
In banding rays of pink atomic parts,
I found myself in multiverses’ bed,
Where bodies occupy in fractal quarks
The every epoch’s rise and ending spread.
I was so spent in waking folds of you,
Displaced momentum servos, our distort.
In shades of four, five more dimensions grew
To fold in you as matter...

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...

Deep Knight and Batworm
Faster than a speeding paragraph
Stronger than an erotic poem
Punchier than an Anger Haiku;
its Deep Knight,
the Capital Crusader of Underground Metropolis
ever ready to answer the Deep signal
and battle evildoers
as they commit word crimes.
Aided by the help of the one and only
worm wonder that is Batworm.
When evil stirs it is they who appear
utilising their onomatopoeia
to keep the Metropolis safe
so that poets can ramble on in freedom.
When a metre is broken,
when a syllable is in trouble.

Shrine of Morning’s Rise
(villanelle)
formule poésie érotique 21/30
Escarpments bare, camellian in hue,
That redden glow with touch of new day’s rise,
A pilgrim’s shrine that beckons life anew.
How my hands seek in dawning shadows skew,
What supplication brings, devout incise
Escarpments bare, camellian in hue.
And you return with praying hands subdue
My spirit’s gifts within, you find likewise
A pilgrim’s shrine that beckons life anew.
How morning brings in us the other’s due
Attention to our passioned hymns reprise: ...

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, ...

Sunday Afternoon
(the bop)
formule poésie érotique 22/30
Peel back the rayon’s gracious hungry cling
In Sunset’s ocean night, that gooses ‘round
A catch of Whiskey - L.A. woman sings
In myths of highways’ pulse, in Echo’s sound.
How sweetened spikes the poet’s ramble brings,
And seven mile snakes, their prophet found.
“L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon…"
The tales of Lizard Kings, and Momma’s Pops
That burn in acid rain these Angel Dreams:
Downtown to Cucamonga...
