Fabric of Soul
Deep inside my mind the secrets of my soul
like dark porcelain dripping silk eyes
for caring is so easy, unassuming the
spirits of the night forbidding demons
of the night clinging to the fabric of
my soul
like dark porcelain dripping silk eyes
for caring is so easy, unassuming the
spirits of the night forbidding demons
of the night clinging to the fabric of
my soul

Get Off My Plains Of Abraham, You Sick Son Of A bitch
Get Off My Plains Of Abraham, You Sick Son Of A bitch
Don't sucré me if tomorrow comes,
with a dark grammarian in shadows
editing my macabre.
Do re mi fa so, it doesn't pull my strings,
punk'd by Poe and Little Jackdaws.
So fuck you! and "Ring Around the Rosie."
I ain't a doctor, I'm a demented poet.
If I offend, it's because one is disillusioned
and a fool for rot. I ride my own plains of Abraham
and not a satanic jar of Milk Duds. Get a box of
Tide and wash the stains,...

Flowers for Confessors
after TS Eliot
Anne Sexton was obsessed with death,
That bellringer, this gravedigger.
In stylish dress, with gin-smoked breath,
Her corpse lolled in the gas-drenched car.
Cocktail sticks poke out her eyes,
The housewife’s life in grim surmise.
Measured out in olives, parts,
Domestic violence, artichoke hearts.
Plath, I guess, preceded her,
As death begets, like rabbits breed.
She sought a solace in the slur
Against fathers, the daughter’s need.
She knew the pain of too much sense,
The flowers...

not averse
who reads browning anymore
of his pied piper of hamelin and I’ll take
to the hills, without the attendant rats
or children, of course

My Muse of Poetry
Not all the worlds belong to me
Not all the words set me free
What the heart loves
is of will
I just free some words
to confine its spill.
****
A time, my words
on my papers sashaying
the shape to me alluring
the tone of their steps
I hear
as they are dancing
the music they are following
the soul, in a trance, just listens
without interfering.
****
A time, along with my Muse
we keep to each other
our hearts baring
secrets sharing
silently, knowingly connecting.. ...

A Picture in Words
They say a picture’s worth a thousand tales,
But what if the brush in your hand fails?
If canvas stays blank, colors don’t appear,
Yet your mind holds visions, vivid and clear.
With words as your palette, you start to create,
Each phrase a stroke, shaping fate,
You paint with whispers, you draw with sound,
In the listener’s heart, your art is found.
A thousand words, they say, a picture might be,
But what if your words set the soul free?
Each sentence a color, each line a hue,
Crafting a masterpiece, unique...
But what if the brush in your hand fails?
If canvas stays blank, colors don’t appear,
Yet your mind holds visions, vivid and clear.
With words as your palette, you start to create,
Each phrase a stroke, shaping fate,
You paint with whispers, you draw with sound,
In the listener’s heart, your art is found.
A thousand words, they say, a picture might be,
But what if your words set the soul free?
Each sentence a color, each line a hue,

Love of words
I love words
Taking pictures of moments.
Wearing up clothes of extraterrestrials.
And landing on earth.
Speaking a human psyche.
As the greatest mystery.
Travelling everyday with details i do not know why?
Where they come from?
Like why does he like shaped in apple breasts?
Or why do i get in heat by a man moaning?
Not adding or deleting a word.
Simple talk!
As she amused to her deepest attractions.
Speaking on the land of true,
Mysterious tale, earth
Taking pictures of moments.
Wearing up clothes of extraterrestrials.
And landing on earth.

Or why do i get in heat by a man moaning?

Appreciated kindness
Will I ever know why
making a wish is so hard?
Turning a wish into a truth.
Hold the breath until I'm blue.
Why should I...
Why could I...
Why would I even try?
No year is ever so new.
No bone is easy to chew.
So let me simply just blow you
a kiss... a kiss... a kiss...
Let's wait for the blizzard to end.
I swear to you no one else will know.
No soul was harmed in the making
of this movie slow motion!
No light is clear until meeting
the darkness.

Undressing The Moon - with Lilliputian
Favoring the night with velvet notes
so tender in shades of neon lights
In sleepy times boozy cozy quotes
the woodwind blowing saxophone
As fingers play with skill bones
pinned to the hour's silhouette
a hot cool-breath ghosting
crazy-ass tempos undressing the moon
Humming to the twinkling stars
a smooth chant for the dancing shadows
interwoven with the touch of euphony
and harmonious, airborne tunes
Lost to the sweet nuzzles of the breeze
hushing the whispering disquiet
in an ephemeral night with...
so tender in shades of neon lights
In sleepy times boozy cozy quotes
the woodwind blowing saxophone
As fingers play with skill bones
pinned to the hour's silhouette
a hot cool-breath ghosting
crazy-ass tempos undressing the moon
Humming to the twinkling stars
a smooth chant for the dancing shadows
interwoven with the touch of euphony
and harmonious, airborne tunes
Lost to the sweet nuzzles of the breeze
hushing the whispering disquiet
in an ephemeral night with...

Virgo
Virgo is my sign with which I deeply align
I thrive as I help and serve, driven by passion and verve
Religious in heart mystic in mind, a soul wholly unconfined
Gifted by the healing power of Love and the sensibility of dove
Of a sense of worth, an affinity with mother earth, that’s my sign birth.
I thrive as I help and serve, driven by passion and verve
Religious in heart mystic in mind, a soul wholly unconfined
Gifted by the healing power of Love and the sensibility of dove

Poets are all sadists masquerading as the avant-garde
-
Writing of beauty
in the face of adversity
ethereal words
transcendental pain
How we overcome
the evil of others
baring our souls
naked and unafraid
Look at me
suffering for these words
on good days
writing of agony
On the bad days
reveling in the morass
of entropy
mining pain
conveying despondency
The thought
what a bunch of masochists
look deeper
sharing just enough
to elicit shattered hopes
often written in blood
...
