wish I could have invited noel coward

he’d have probably declined

Until Tomorrow
There's a blue velvet world
like a marble
in your eye,
where shadows and storms
retreat when you smile,
and sleep
in its discernment
is mankind's blessing—
despite vague dreams
that keep you guessing.
A night's intermezzo
is a pause from the day,
when the mind turns slowly
on joys or dismay.
There's a blue velvet world
like a marble
in your eyes.
I know 'cause I've seen
where your beauty lies.
like a marble
in your eye,
where shadows and storms
retreat when you smile,
and sleep
in its discernment
is mankind's blessing—
despite vague dreams

A night's intermezzo

when the mind turns slowly
on joys or dismay.
There's a blue velvet world

remembering
she had
dark
velvet eyes,
her hair
the color
of midnight,
and
as i
kissed her,
i heard
thunder,
felt lightning,
i leapt
and danced
around her,
my desire
for her
is still
beyond
any lover
i have
since known.

Moon's dream
I don't know
what the moon dreams of
But whatever it is
It must be bewitchingly beautiful
And you...
you my dear,
are a dream of moon...

Wayward Poets
Someone goes out early, every morning
to make sure that the welcome mat
is free of leaves
Or during winter, of snow
There's a key, under the mat, but
the door has never been locked
There's always someone
coming or going
To this old, white concrete house
atop the edge of a cliff
-Looks like a fingernail at the end
of a crackled finger
of the old man mountain
Pointing down towards the valley
Those that look up, thinking
is it choosing me
But it's not a path
for the weak hearted
...

Duprass -- in perpetuity
for MrD
here in eternity
the is, the am, the are
are always happening
e x h a l e
(cat’s eye in a nebula)
and there’s a second-hand-hollow
in the outset of my neon aura
that somehow reflects pure to
yours without any sense of self
a coronal mass ejaculation
in this single unit of
space-time-now-the-before-forever
and I’ve known you
for all these lives
probably loved you
before love loved loss
i n h a l e
(pupils pinpoint)
and I’m back...

Familiar Voices
trapped in a crowd of faces and hands
chattering words and making demands
tired of smiling, I need to get away
(wrap me in inky black velvet)
my only strength is my will to breathe
(reach for me in the shadows)
I’m waiting, lonely in the empty dark
waiting for their songs
to touch me
familiar voices pull me off the ledge
familiar voices soothe my weary soul
familiar voices sing me back to the light
familiar voices bring me back to whole
chattering words and making demands
tired of smiling, I need to get away
(wrap me in inky black velvet)
my only strength is my will to breathe
(reach for me in the shadows)
I’m waiting, lonely in the empty dark
waiting for their songs
to touch me
familiar voices pull me off the ledge
familiar voices soothe my weary soul
familiar voices sing me back to the light
familiar voices bring me back to whole

Cendra's Birthday Parties
Cendra had an unusual last name
Skin shades darker than mine
Parents years older than most.
No siblings.
She was confident and self-assured.
Additional qualities I found exotic.
I liked being around her.
Her 11th (12th?) birthday was at Gooney Golf
There was a giant dinosaur at the entrance.
The last hole was an igloo.
Even if you missed, it captured your ball at the end.
Gone.
After miniature golf, we went back to Cendra's house for cake.
At her decree, we smeared frosting on our faces.
When her...

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

Poetry, An Emotion
I like poetry, and i like its secrets
Creations and twists, that impress
And the manifest of the thoughts
Bared like the sun, easily expressed
I read the finest quills, the nobler
The thinker, and the mystical worder
And the true lover, who sheds his blood
With every word spilled, romanticized
I read the wordsmith and the weaker
And the mediocre and the "show-offs"
Like i eat every thing, in my plate
Like i don't spare; flesh and bone
Poetry, the music sieved into words
Lyrically voiced...

Written in the Stars
Lying on a soft fragrant meadow
Under the diamond studded sky
In a warm summer night
Vibrating with magic
I read your story
Written in the stars
A rising star
Newly born and bursting with ideas
Highly intelligent and creative
A revolutionary mind
A fresh wind of change blowing
To renew and improve society
A celestial star
Coming from the universe
Following a higher calling
Embarking on a journey to
Bring justice and peace to
Planet earth and her inhabitants
A flickering star ...
