Greenland
Greenland
The Vikings often fished for cod along the coast
We know as Greenland since they had noticed
Where the ice had thawed, green grass grew
Olav, the hairy, thought it would be a good idea
To bring cattle and women to herd cows
to the island and on the longboat where the Vikings
That had turned to fishing instead of pillaging
The coast of France thought this was a grand idea; furthermore, it was tiresome sitting in a boat without toilet facilities and not having a wench to lighten the onerous life.
Bringing cattle to Greenland was...

Naaj and Ahhhh...
He is my prancing butt naked
In a flowered apron
Hovering around his simmering stove
Spreading to be his treasure trove
Awaiting those plump
Baked goodies
My Asiatic dragon printed cape
My coping mechanism, my escape hatch
My pantie snatcher
I'm stuck with his sticky
Since he slipped me his poetic mickey
I've become deeply infused
With his rhyme scheme
How he injects, infects
With subliminal inflections
Maybe I've become a living...

Priestess of Poetry
Priestess of Poetry
Sharp focus of her camera eyes
Sends solar flares into my schism
Where fire and water collide
Like the birth of the planets
She is the dark eyes of the world
That gaze upon my soul
With the heat of a thousand suns
When she breathes my heart murmurs
In the solitude of rebirth
When her comet streaks into my gilded maleness
From the outer reaches of my plasmic void
As silence is the song
When my orbit swings low
To her sweet chariot of fire
Sharp focus of her camera eyes
Sends solar flares into my schism
Where fire and water collide
Like the birth of the planets
She is the dark eyes of the world
That gaze upon my soul
With the heat of a thousand suns
When she breathes my heart murmurs
In the solitude of rebirth
When her comet streaks into my gilded maleness
From the outer reaches of my plasmic void
As silence is the song
When my orbit swings low
To her sweet chariot of fire

Midnite's Scent
O Marri’onne, ethereal wraith,
whose name drifts soft upon my brine-kissed lips,
you linger yet in the twilight of my being,
an echo folded into the shroud of the waves.
I, Kai of the abyssal depths, born of the sea’s mournful hymn,
sing now to you, my love, my ruin,
to the memory that binds me still,
to the scent of midnight where you once walked the shores.
Beneath the obsidian dome of a moonless sky,
I dwell, a shade tethered to salt-stung tides.
The sea, my cradle, my captor, whispers your name,
a dirge woven in threads of foam...
whose name drifts soft upon my brine-kissed lips,
you linger yet in the twilight of my being,
an echo folded into the shroud of the waves.
I, Kai of the abyssal depths, born of the sea’s mournful hymn,
sing now to you, my love, my ruin,
to the memory that binds me still,
to the scent of midnight where you once walked the shores.
Beneath the obsidian dome of a moonless sky,
I dwell, a shade tethered to salt-stung tides.
The sea, my cradle, my captor, whispers your name,
a dirge woven in threads of foam...

GLAD WE'RE SNOWED IN
MOTHER
nature had blessed us
in wonderful and magical
ways. As the snow paints
the land scape with virgin
white color; the dancing
technicolor flames in the fireplace;
the soft music, low candle lights
our hearts are experiencing a solace
that creates poems that flow
slowly from our souls into the
ears of each other.
AS
we gently kiss and hold each other
closer than our skin, we are in a
new realm of connected love that
creates a new passion that spins
our world into a new and magic world.
OH,
I'm...

Hold the Light
I see it in your eyes, that quiet storm,
The way the shadows twist, the way they form.
You wear the weight like I’ve worn mine,
A burden carved in every line.
And though I’m lost, I can’t look away—
I want to pull you from the gray.
Even in this hollow place,
You’re the only thing that feels like grace.
You mean more than you’ll ever know,
In a world so cold, you’re the only glow.
Though I’m drowning, I’ll find a way
To keep you safe from the dark decay.
I don’t care if it pulls me through—
I’ll hold the light, if it...
The way the shadows twist, the way they form.
You wear the weight like I’ve worn mine,
A burden carved in every line.
And though I’m lost, I can’t look away—
I want to pull you from the gray.
Even in this hollow place,
You’re the only thing that feels like grace.
You mean more than you’ll ever know,
In a world so cold, you’re the only glow.
Though I’m drowning, I’ll find a way
To keep you safe from the dark decay.
I don’t care if it pulls me through—
I’ll hold the light, if it...

Third Eye
Closing my eyes so I can feel your presence
Unseeing…
So I can focus on your inner beauty
Removing the distraction of your
Outer excellence
Is
Allowing me to
Exist in your existence
My heart sees
What my eyes won’t allow me to see beyond
I need to appreciate your beauty
In all forms
Not just physically
I
Struggle to disassociate
Love from Lust
Passion from Poetry
Desire from Desirable
If I was blind
I could read your...

MY ROSE
AMAZING!
My beautiful rose
has become a star,
the brightest in heaven.
HER
light is so brilliant
the sun wears sunglasses.
The radiant glow travels
to the core of the soul
and is so luminous in darkness
of doubt that the magic of love's
power ignites forever in the soul.
OH
my beautiful rose keep shining
refilling my heart with new love
only YOU can bestow.
R-O-S-E you are:
R-adiant
O-ne of a kind
S-ent from heaven
E-xuberant in spirit

the last bus
That is a day for us losers. No, this is not about the climate
it does well, a dollop of sun there and a splash of rain there, not asking for anyone’s permission
With losers, I mean us who have managed to get old
but living wildly and not going for longevity
That makes us miserable because we have nothing
to look back on and say, sure, I did that
It is not that we didn’t try to make a mark, but
Booze and women got in the way, conquest
a whore in every port
Some of us tried to make a mark by scribbling
Our thoughts on a sheet of paper...

a regular day
A regular day
We read, with amusement, that Facebook is set free
Mark, our erstwhile friend, has seen the light
Not spending money on fast-checkers, more kudos to him
Is he sincere
For now, this is of scant interest, the wind blows hard, rattles the window, and demands to be let inside.
Hollers, you were glad for the summer breeze
So, what is wrong now
How do explain, to the wind it is a matter of knowing when the climate for change is right?
The wind is not willing to give up, asks what about
X, a rude and opinionated site; well, you...
