Prissy
I primp.
I admit it.
I'm a girly girl
As soon as
I was old enough
I shaved my legs
Plucked my eyebrows
Stated wearing makeup
Took an overall interest
In my appearance
When I was
Of working age
I was told that
A woman should
Never leave
The house without
Looking absolutely
G o r g e o u s
Some things stick
With a person
For a lifetime
This of course
Was definitely one
Of them and
That was the onset
Of my becoming prissy
I admit it.

While her quince, stratums the wind
Yearning for the pillory
of your buckshee sleek leer
where chary cadences
aileron rolls into thorny caresses
and scampering apologies
wear me,
as a flyblown hello
discarded in passing winks
i’m ceiled with coarse grit
and tailored cretonne ignes fatui
mordant and crass
like the skirted dust
of embryonic suns
glued mass aligned
with your ocular basorexia,
why do you not implode,
and become cirrose,
sustenance into my prison
of dubiety,
must you, ...
of your buckshee sleek leer
where chary cadences
aileron rolls into thorny caresses
and scampering apologies
wear me,
as a flyblown hello
discarded in passing winks
i’m ceiled with coarse grit
and tailored cretonne ignes fatui
mordant and crass
like the skirted dust
of embryonic suns
glued mass aligned
with your ocular basorexia,
why do you not implode,
and become cirrose,
sustenance into my prison
of dubiety,
must you, ...

A Vain Pursuit of Love
A svelte girl recently moved to the neighbourhood.
Her transcendent beauty catches my eyes.
I greet her warmly when she’s walking past my gate.
She told me her name, and I told her mine.
I wonder if she’s interested in middle-aged men.
Every time I look at her, it breaks my heart.
Her charm and her seductive walk captivate me.
And I believe I’m falling in love with her.
I didn’t want this to happen at my age,
For if I fall in love with her, she might reject me.
I’m hesitant about telling Katie I have feelings for her,
For I...

The Wedding Guest Part Two
A ceremony
The telling of love
The testimony
Of two lovers
Who grew together
Through good and bad weather
The beautiful flowers carefully arranged
The many people who sat in rows
A gentle spring breeze flows
The preacher says “you may now kiss the bride “
The holy action itself made me think of high tide
The heaviness the words felt when said allowed
“I do”
Both showed signs of a blush
The gaze they held for one another
Truly and utterly in love
The telling of love
The testimony
Of two lovers
Who grew together
Through good and bad weather
The beautiful flowers carefully arranged
The many people who sat in rows
A gentle spring breeze flows
The preacher says “you may now kiss the bride “
The holy action itself made me think of high tide
The heaviness the words felt when said allowed
“I do”
Both showed signs of a blush
The gaze they held for one another
Truly and utterly in love

Wedding Guest part 1
Slim fit
With a slit
The silk fabric
And studded straps
My hair is carefully clipped in place
I make haste
Late for a friend of a friend’s wedding
My heels colored cream
I wanted to scream
How beautiful I looked was great
But I ran late
Making it on time
I shined
Twas a beautiful day
The sun shined
I hope I looked fine
I muttered to myself
When at last the music started
The crowd rose
How beautiful she looked
Like in a storybook
I wondered

Old Folks, Beauty, Strength and Emotion
i remember grandpa had hands of wood, haired like a hedgehog.
a rifle hang on his living room walls, dating from French colonialism.
A handicrafted fine curiosity,bequeathed by a noble resident Frenchman ,
a fair colonial who rejected the war, abhorred the carnage
and massacre perpetrated against the unarmed people..
He left all his properties to grandpa for being friendly,
loyal and workaholic server, and a faithful gate guardian;
He left a treasury among which a double barrel rifle,
and even an elegant glossy closet and...

My First Summertime Blind Date
Thought she was a dog.
But I saw her wearing a bikini.
That changed my mind quick.
But I saw her wearing a bikini.

It Took Only a Moment
It took only a moment
for lovers to conceive her life
and begin a story carried in time.
It took only a moment for soldiers
to bring her residence
in time to an end.
It took only a moment to press
against the trigger then pause
to imagine her parents making love
twenty-two years ago.
It took only a moment
for what began with great joy
to end in deep sorrow.
for lovers to conceive her life
and begin a story carried in time.
It took only a moment for soldiers
to bring her residence
in time to an end.
It took only a moment to press
against the trigger then pause
to imagine her parents making love
twenty-two years ago.
It took only a moment
for what began with great joy
to end in deep sorrow.

Mare Nectaris
Infused with her halcyon midnight eyes
a palmy moonbeam spake tranquility,
upon our nuptial bed, and Terran skies,
and aqueous humor ability
which all became her serene seas of love,
waiting for me to deeply take the plunge
that all the maids of Tethys have heard of
and each subsequently fathoming lunge
ever to founder a sailor ashore
on the lush delta of damsel demand
where treasure frequently buried for more
navigation at a later command...
plumbs a limpidity beyond compare
