Jardim ( A Villanelle )
By my garden gate’s first-light yawn
reveals entry to the Jardim*
awaiting patiently each dawn
Blue daisy and black-eyed Susan
misty flowers can scarce be seen
by my garden gate’s first-light yawn
Rows of pots and trellised arbor
flora buds in need of weeding
awaiting patiently each dawn
Calla lilies, peony rose,
buttercups and hearts a bleeding
by my garden gate’s first-light yawn
What have I reaped but what was sown;
beauty emerged from seedlings ...
reveals entry to the Jardim*

misty flowers can scarce be seen

Calla lilies, peony rose,

by my garden gate’s first-light yawn
What have I reaped but what was sown;

Man of the People
This man sees clearly through slithery bull
he cuts to the guts with an arrowed quill
elevates misfits with a human eye
to question assumptions, collective lies;
Burns to pointed issues of down-and-outs
and scrapes the decks of our long hidden doubts,
no sentimentalities pass his lips
raw truths make each poem a learning hit;
“See it this way … this, our humanity”
extracts humour from edged insanity,
gritty realism pokes our living rooms
as death hovers close like nit-picking combs;
John Brady, Man Of The People,...

You’re Luv Grows Within My Heart
here I am in the silent of night
reading your words of passion & luv
breathing encouragement of support
sending lines of grace laced thoughts
some make me feel sexy and dreamy
others guide me a look into the mirror of life
feeling you in every way possible
as inspiration you send to my soul
hugging my heart with invisible passion
how strongly we both feel loneliness
caused by friends betraying our beings
taking advantage of generosity and kindness
when sharing thoughts to each other
secret tears...

Mrs Me
I feel empty when you're not around, I end up reading our convo's and end up smiling, chatting with you makes me feel complete with the little things that you do, I see the inner beauty you possess besides the outer beauty that we all see.
I've spent more time with you because of how we treat each other, who would have thought it would come this far in a short space of time, we've been able to trust and respect one another and it shouldn't end there.
Just wanted to let you know that you make my heart skip a beat, and that you've been a special soul that a day never...

You saved me
You saved me when no one would
When no one cared
Your smiles pored down on me
When everyone ignored me,
All your eyes followed me,
Invisible ones too
When no one shared with me,
You offered up your expensive love
When no one dared to be seen with me,
You were always on my side
When no one would say hello,
You greeted me enthusiastically
When no one saw who I was,
You saw the best in me
When everyone called me ugly
You found a pretty name to call me
When I fell and nobody picked me up,
You threw your things...
When no one cared
Your smiles pored down on me
When everyone ignored me,
All your eyes followed me,
Invisible ones too
When no one shared with me,
You offered up your expensive love
When no one dared to be seen with me,
You were always on my side
When no one would say hello,
You greeted me enthusiastically
When no one saw who I was,
You saw the best in me
When everyone called me ugly
You found a pretty name to call me
When I fell and nobody picked me up,
You threw your things...

You Don't Waver
It's in the way you don't waver
that moves me
each movement effective
as I am subjected
to beauty amid grace
not just another pretty face
but you've got that too
and you've got me
hanging on
to the intimate inflection
in your tightly concealed cadence
I'm dangling here
all charged up and ready to start
I'll play the part
I'll be the dark or the light
in your tunnel each night
I see you sparkle and I see you glow
no hidden agenda
just let it all go
I'll be your flower ...

Sweet Grass
( after ImperfectedStone aka Poppy )
( a Sonnet )
I walk an endless mile with fringe that sways,
The pony beads, their colors, story tells.
My hair is braided on which sunrise plays,
And silver cones that jingle just like bells.
I hear the metered drumbeat as life’s clue.
For prairie fox and birds among the blades,
A lush great plains sweet grass ablaze with dew;
The foraging resumes as footstep fades.
It’s all my sanctuary and my friends;
The sky, the clouds &...

Fashion
There once was an English bureaucrat
Who liked to take dumps in his hat
He’d stick it up on his crown
And let it drip down
That’s simply the way that he shat
He bragged 'bout it to his girlfriend
Who insisted his smell did offend
But she came around
The moment she found
Out his hat-toilet had become a new trend
She figured that she’d join her man

drowning in the english summer
the rain is unfuckingrelenting. she is pulled back in like
uhh like scummy sea foam, like salty cum drops wriggling down the drain.
the water calls her by the name she chose.
after all a grey sky is just a very darkened blue; after all this time
so far from any river or lake
the tongue imagines a fall
to quench that ideation
and she loves falling,
i think
because she knows she's supposed to have wings
and that's how you learn.

Two Years of Twin Peaks...
Two years
and an Ode to those 2 years
Of a patch purplePinkBeaut!
she is subtle, she sees and hears
her heart and mind astute
Wisdom personified
she moves about non chalantly
Conduct dignified
She slays the stray non vioelntly
She - the epitome of a human
raising above the surrounds
A Lady beautiful if i knew one
the light of the Underground
A poet she kept the world waiting
She deals in all things deep
A light she couldn't stop emanating
A friend forever to keep!
