My conscious mind of gloom
The urge to air it out
Hopeless days are behind me
I look up to the stars and reminisce
Am I a mere reflection of myself
Or whom I paint to be
A perfect picture
Can breath out a smile in me
Always peeking from the sidelines ,
wondering if she'd let me in
Burns in my insides
I'm so keen to the wind
What mysteries lie beneath your gray
Be all beauty be beautiful ,
yet not all beautiful be beauty
This encompasses your frame
Often challenging to settle at times
The weight...
The urge to air it out
Hopeless days are behind me
I look up to the stars and reminisce
Am I a mere reflection of myself

Always peeking from the sidelines ,
wondering if she'd let me in
Burns in my insides
I'm so keen to the wind

yet not all beautiful be beauty
This encompasses your frame
Often challenging to settle at times

Celebrity
I stared into the new moon sky,
black as can be, but for the stars,
shining like Hollywood memoirs
Tallulah Bankhead wouldn't try:
taboo pinpricks in the void
only some great hubris discerns
when falling from more graceful turns,
like Satan, cast out and annoyed...
or starlets in their boudoir robes
pirouetting in bold display
back in the golden age of day
like angels on their astral globes.
But night knows not of graciousness
without the rondure of the moon
reflecting into spaciousness...

Unyielding Universe
Into her core, one final guest will tread,
With silent steps that lead to a last breath.
Her dance of life, with pleasures spread,
Will halt, as certain as the call of death.
Each creature walking beneath the sky
Must face the end of their heart's journey.
The flexy prancing of her body's light,
Will cease at the closing of this night.
The stage that held her enticing form,
Where once she moved with grace, will hold her not.
She touches herself and remembers her lovers
All this will fade as she falls in death's snare.
...
With silent steps that lead to a last breath.

Must face the end of their heart's journey.

Will cease at the closing of this night.
The stage that held her enticing form,
Where once she moved with grace, will hold her not.
She touches herself and remembers her lovers
All this will fade as she falls in death's snare.

The Beach
Did you know that if you drill a vertical foxhole
from the marble backstreets of Lisbon
through molten rock
to the underside of the earth
then slide down, feet first
turns out you’ll reach the Kapiti coast
In the middle of New Zealand
Crazy huh?
I’d recommend tossing down some
tinned sardines, fresh clams,
baby buttered snails
and semi-aerated green wine
As take-home mementos of Portugal
Then drive a jeep
to an undisclosed beach location
climb up to the Iberian coastline ...

And So it Goes - Reflections on Aging
Life’s no damn good. You're born, you have some laughs, you take a spin on the old love-go-round, and then you die. And if you're like me, you spend a good chunk of your life looking for love, or at least some pleasant diversion from the sameness of life.
Even now, after 30 years, every time I fuck a woman, I can't help but think of the first girl I made love to. I haven’t seen her in over twenty years. Last week, I found out that she died five years ago having birthed three daughters and survived two failed marriages. I have a picture from 1993 but can’t make that image jive...

INSIDE ROAR
Be quiet when I whisper to you
be quiet when i touch you
then you can scream and I'll scream how much I love you.
My silent love.
Be quiet when you steal my keys
quieter so I don't hear it.
Instead of keys, an empty palm, where you want to run.
You gave me your love, what are you so afraid of?
You still want to run somewhere.
Why are you afraid when someone touches you
why don't you say anything
Hot as June in January, why don't you say anything.
Beautiful like a...

Point C
When hurrying from point A to point B
Don't sing songs
Don't smell the roses
Point B is where money lives
Point A sucks without money
When hurrying from point A to point B
Sing a song
Smell the flowers
Avoiding point C
never a guarantee
When hurrying from point A to point B
be exactly where you are
Neither A
nor B
but wherever you are in between
Take a moment
see
smell
hear
the world is a feast for the senses
Not so at point C
Skeletonized truck...
Don't sing songs
Don't smell the roses
Point B is where money lives
Point A sucks without money
When hurrying from point A to point B
Sing a song
Smell the flowers
Avoiding point C
never a guarantee
When hurrying from point A to point B
be exactly where you are
Neither A
nor B
but wherever you are in between
Take a moment
see
smell
hear
the world is a feast for the senses
Not so at point C

Not Just Pretty
This woman is definitely pretty
Pretty in a way that makes my mind revise the definition of how pretty one woman can be
So pretty that my eyes seek refocus
'cause there's far more perfection than expected in that one face
But, please
trust me,
there is much, much more
Awestruck I am
As I realize that the beauty I see
is but a reflective shading of the magnificence that shines brightly within her soul
Like the brilliance of the summer moon shines before my eyes courtesy of the brightness of the faraway sun ...

Red dress in NOLA - 1
the streets
felt like an
empty stomach
after Halloween
so much darkness
after a night
of explosive beauty
left the emotional belly
growling, as if
something in the
humid air went
missing
I saw her crying
in the alcove
of a closed store
off Bienville Street
She wore a red dress
and her entire being shook
as she burrowed
her face in the phone
crouched on the
edge of the curb
as if sorrow had
eaten her body,
and collapsed ...
