Rockabilly
Old Timers made
me go trip down
memory lanes
back to the time
life was amazing
cruising around
while listening
to johnny cash
& the stray cats
going to parties
car meetings &
weddings it felt
as if i was part
of a marvelous
rockabilly family
sharing love for
oldtimers, music
& vintage clothes
i cherish that time
& my rockabilly life
bittersweet memories
with a Tear and a Smile
me go trip down
memory lanes
back to the time
life was amazing
cruising around
while listening
to johnny cash
& the stray cats
going to parties
car meetings &
weddings it felt
as if i was part
of a marvelous
rockabilly family
sharing love for
oldtimers, music
& vintage clothes
i cherish that time
& my rockabilly life
bittersweet memories
with a Tear and a Smile

Droplets
The glistening droplet of fresh rain
clings to the berry.
To a squawking bluejay
that's a luscious cherry.
Is the berry crying or shining?
Is the soul fleeing or flying?
Droplets dangle from dank naked branches.
Diamond tears from broken chances.
Abandoned stances.
The rain persists to linger.
Like the way the choreography of your fingers did.
My heart a despairing shade of blue.
From thought conjuring droplets of you.......
clings to the berry.
To a squawking bluejay
that's a luscious cherry.
Is the berry crying or shining?
Is the soul fleeing or flying?
Droplets dangle from dank naked branches.
Diamond tears from broken chances.
Abandoned stances.
The rain persists to linger.
Like the way the choreography of your fingers did.
My heart a despairing shade of blue.
From thought conjuring droplets of you.......

Knitting shackles
Nervously desires knit shackles,
I squeeze my hands and thoughts flow
tearing down control heavy curtains,
how I am so close to you now.
Passionate body burns and burns,
wants your embrace, like captivity
the fire in me is enough for two of you,
I want my knees worn out to pain.
Breath, blood, disorder of movement,
and droplets of sweat are living water
to catch the reflection in each other's eyes,
and to say in languor only "Yes!".
You squeeze your hands around my neck,
bending my lower back, I want to scream...
I squeeze my hands and thoughts flow
tearing down control heavy curtains,
how I am so close to you now.
Passionate body burns and burns,
wants your embrace, like captivity
the fire in me is enough for two of you,
I want my knees worn out to pain.
Breath, blood, disorder of movement,
and droplets of sweat are living water
to catch the reflection in each other's eyes,
and to say in languor only "Yes!".
You squeeze your hands around my neck,
bending my lower back, I want to scream...

Not Yet Swans
We were fooled last week
when so many things outside
were tipped in green
And though darkness is
your favorite color,
you disrobed from it
and kicked it under the bed
As you accepted Spring
to your bosom
as you shook your hair back
and offered your throat
to the kiss of something
renewing
all of your tips to pink
At first, I felt like a bird
fidgeting upon your window ledge
(edge of the bed)
I suffered the settling
for at least bread crumbs
Two pieces, ...
when so many things outside

And though darkness is

don't forget the toast
broken
can't remember when i wasn't
cracked in half
beat up and tossed
into that frying pan
with the heat on high
scrambled egg
crispy and burnt
mc-sizzled
can't remember when i wasn't
cracked in half
beat up and tossed

so the show must go on...
my life
warmth of my life,
my gift,
N I enjoy each day,
each moment,
i enjoy all creations,
i enjoy the silent star
twinkling in the blue midnight,
i enjoy humming
of the red moon,
i enjoy roaring waves
of the ocean,
i enjoy the wind
lying on the fields,
i enjoy with the colorful souls
wandering in the gray evening,
i enjoy paintings
painted on canvas
with shameless colors,
i enjoy memories
that are stored
in the darkness of the night,
i enjoy fragments

insouciance
finding it increasingly
difficult to write
anything you might
like it matters ..

Sepia
Sepia
A pink canvas to paint our dreams
Turns into a grand
Amphitheater of clouds
Whose soul is the sepia
That preserves tears in amber

Turns into a grand
Amphitheater of clouds
Whose soul is the sepia
That preserves tears in amber

who were we fooling
all those times that
went before us when
we were as young as
a new spring rising
going downtown on
a Friday or Saturday
shopping for clothes,
records, having lunch
laughing too loud
cursing too much
asking to bum a
smoke from a friend
sneaking a six pack
we were unafraid,
immortal and forver
beautiful like an oil
painting by Vermeer
believing we knew
the world better than ...

One Last Kiss
What a perfect night to bid you farewell
Heavy with mysteries full moon hangs low
Nightingale sings a sweet serenade
Seal my lips with a kiss that echoes in eternity
Hush my love and don't you weep
My body dies but my soul is set free
So paint the coffin in my favorite colors
Promise me to live a happy purposeful life
When in another starry night
Crickets chirp a haunting melody
And a soft breeze caresses your face
Then know that this is me
Whenever you think of me
I won't be far away
Until we finally...
Heavy with mysteries full moon hangs low
Nightingale sings a sweet serenade
Seal my lips with a kiss that echoes in eternity
Hush my love and don't you weep
My body dies but my soul is set free
So paint the coffin in my favorite colors
Promise me to live a happy purposeful life
When in another starry night
Crickets chirp a haunting melody
And a soft breeze caresses your face
Then know that this is me
Whenever you think of me

Clay Pigeons (Part 3)
Easter egg planted Pineapples
cluster claymore laden poem verse
Trap lines trigger booby detonator

SS Britanica land mine sunk to shore

Magellan cognition gore circumnavigated

on sonic brain combust ocean splatter curse
Motion vile explosive fragments bang attune
dissect shrapnel pitch out cranial void hurts
Tannerite incendiary gas can trip blasting...
