Megitsune
hidden behind a lotus blossom
her eyes glare, with mischief
a vixen in a silver fur coat
as her tail flows behind...
Megitsune, what kind of tricks
are inside your silken bag?
what surprise do you have in store
for mankind?
sitting unnoticed to the stork
as he balances on one leg in the river
you shiver as summerland breezes
blow through the bamboo trees
Megitsune, where have you been?
like a harlequin dancing in the valley
you're a devil plotting...
...
her eyes glare, with mischief
a vixen in a silver fur coat
as her tail flows behind...
Megitsune, what kind of tricks
are inside your silken bag?
what surprise do you have in store
for mankind?
sitting unnoticed to the stork
as he balances on one leg in the river
you shiver as summerland breezes
blow through the bamboo trees
Megitsune, where have you been?
like a harlequin dancing in the valley
you're a devil plotting...

sorrow
sadness quell leave me my heart
my soul keens it is the sorrow filled hour
in my needing time I lay witness to the truth of pain
I seek solace in the dark
quiet my weeping
in desolation's company I am prepared to feel it all
love in all its facets shine brightly
bitter tears cried stir the bleak companions I keep
ghosts of souls I've loved
frolicking on a summer day
never to feel winter again
in eternal sleep
my soul keens it is the sorrow filled hour
in my needing time I lay witness to the truth of pain
I seek solace in the dark
quiet my weeping
in desolation's company I am prepared to feel it all
love in all its facets shine brightly
bitter tears cried stir the bleak companions I keep
ghosts of souls I've loved
frolicking on a summer day
never to feel winter again
in eternal sleep

baby
little feelings flow from my soul
quiet emotions so powerful
sadness in the telling
I look skyward and grieve
holding tightly to my beliefs
we all return as energy
back to the source
tiny interloper bringing joy
watching your wonderment
watching you grow
my heart will never forget you
peaceful soul there is happiness knowing you were loved
if you get a chance
come visit me again
I will always remember you
I will forever hold you in my soul
goodbye for now Baby...

Fox
Waiting for the fox to come creeping in
Long, tall, stealthy, sleek and ruddy
Teasing the air with a whisper of whisker
And up-stretched flick of titian cowlick
Stale butter popcorn smells
And softly hummed refrigerator sounds
Marrying with the copper gnome on the stove's
Caroling about the tea in his belly
Feverishly penning words for my love
The word 'husband' like a cursive
One-word sonnet
Willing him home from the pine tree grove
Air filled with tuberose and peat moss
Smells like wistful smoke
Useless to me when...
Long, tall, stealthy, sleek and ruddy
Teasing the air with a whisper of whisker
And up-stretched flick of titian cowlick
Stale butter popcorn smells
And softly hummed refrigerator sounds
Marrying with the copper gnome on the stove's
Caroling about the tea in his belly
Feverishly penning words for my love
The word 'husband' like a cursive
One-word sonnet
Willing him home from the pine tree grove
Air filled with tuberose and peat moss
Smells like wistful smoke
Useless to me when...

(...)
(…)
A dove of pearl lay bleeding,
O’er his wings, his love was weeping.
Was this but a dream that I viewed:
These wings in diamonds bedewed?
Will these eyes close when they die,
Or will they gaze nowhere in mine?
And in the kiss where they now lie
What love will be my love for thine?
From what skies might I see thee soar,
That kiss horizons on the sea?
What cage of Heaven the low winds bore
For such souls that should be free?
Cheerless stars now bear the earth,
And ere these lives began,
Death...

Blue Whale
You made my heart grow too big
For a mere woman's chest
So I want to become
A blue whale instead
Body like a train
Heart the size of a car
Uprooting my existence
To swim to where you are
Maybe you could become
A blue whale too
We could share the tides
Of an ocean for two
Waltzing with the tidal waves
And chasing distant sun
Melting orange creamsicle rays
When the day is nearly done
Playing hide-and-go-seek
In...
For a mere woman's chest
So I want to become
A blue whale instead
Body like a train
Heart the size of a car
Uprooting my existence
To swim to where you are
Maybe you could become
A blue whale too
We could share the tides
Of an ocean for two
Waltzing with the tidal waves
And chasing distant sun
Melting orange creamsicle rays
When the day is nearly done
Playing hide-and-go-seek

Ode to a Barbecued Squirrel
If I didn't know better
I'd say you were Anne Frank reincarnate
In your secret annex
Of hollowed-out birch tree
Your birth tree
Your birthplace
Cursed be
Those hillbilly Neo-Nazis
That shot you
Bullet like a nail
Hammering through your skull
Didn't know Joan of Arc
Had a tail
Or that it would be so bushy
You deserved better
Than to be slapped on their grill
Turned from red squirrel
To red squirrel burger ...
I'd say you were Anne Frank reincarnate

Didn't know Joan of Arc

Or that it would be so bushy

Turned from red squirrel
To red squirrel burger ...

Spider Webs
Spider Webs
In sun light
Hung
A spider web
Whose lines
Were yet
Unknowns,
And though
Those threads
Were very
Thin
The sunlight
Found
Their bones.
In sun light
Hung
A spider web
Whose lines
Were yet
Unknowns,
And though
Those threads
Were very
Thin
The sunlight

My blood will never buy you grace
You’re just another Sadist case
A military grade weapon carrying disgrace
A grip on compassion, you ain’t got a trace
A dirty mouthed smirk plastered on your face
You’re a synthetic killer; not your natural place
Tears are shed for my kind, to kill me- a waste
For you- comeuppance will come! Post haste!
[The blood of a Fudd, my kind wants a taste]
Your barbaric & cruel killing volition
I avoid your kind [innate bipedal suspicion]
The lies that you tell, paint my kind the villain
It’s you & your ilk that crave my blood...
A military grade weapon carrying disgrace
A grip on compassion, you ain’t got a trace
A dirty mouthed smirk plastered on your face
You’re a synthetic killer; not your natural place
Tears are shed for my kind, to kill me- a waste
For you- comeuppance will come! Post haste!
[The blood of a Fudd, my kind wants a taste]
Your barbaric & cruel killing volition
I avoid your kind [innate bipedal suspicion]
The lies that you tell, paint my kind the villain
It’s you & your ilk that crave my blood...

Blink
Blink
Long green lashes
Bat at Swarovski crystal sky
Blink
Iridescent flash
Of gentle blue floating by
Blink
Mad dash of scaly skin
Blink
Dusk like a tortoiseshell cat
Creeping in
Long green lashes
Bat at Swarovski crystal sky
Blink
Iridescent flash
Of gentle blue floating by
Blink
Mad dash of scaly skin
Blink
Dusk like a tortoiseshell cat
Creeping in

Totem
You are your own totem
You are the butterflies in your stomach
Coloured in shades of sunset
The brown puppies of your eyes
Looking out from between the bars of their cages
You are a piñata full of schooling Swedish fish
And you are the swan
Its song is in your heart
You are a jambalaya of wild horses
Spicy red and chestnut
Running away with your feelings
You are the butterflies in your stomach
Coloured in shades of sunset
The brown puppies of your eyes
Looking out from between the bars of their cages
You are a piñata full of schooling Swedish fish
And you are the swan
Its song is in your heart
You are a jambalaya of wild horses
Spicy red and chestnut
Running away with your feelings
