She works until midnight
She works until midnight tonight –
The sentence makes me pause as I remember,
once upon a time…
Midnight was the hour when the party got going,
when liquified dancing took over my mind
and I couldn’t even imagine her;
Because that was way before her time.
Later, midnight was the hour
of waking up groggy
for feeding and rocking
and burping and changing,
thinking the tiredness would never end;
But that was before her childhood.
Then, midnight became the hour
for one last check on the sleeping cherub -

A Lover's Lamenting
I'm going to miss
your recitals of old poetry
Watching your mouth form
around the heavier consonants
better than I could ever do
And how you sighed the vowels
in the late evenings
Your own words full of them
in your native tongue
Or, you made them up
during the passionate chaos
of orgasmic verbiage
I'm not a woman
but I learned, earnestly
when my ear was pressed to your cheek
As my mouth lent you my growl
upon your neck
How I reversed vampirism
and gave what I could ...

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

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,

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.......

Bitter Heartbeat
untemded heart
will turn bitter
with each unheard
heartbeat....
love stagnates
within soft
red walls
true cruelties
of an
unrequited heart
barbed wire
retorts hide
each rejection
tasting bile
in each romantic
thought
knowing....
my heart
doesn't easily
love
or forget
will turn bitter
with each unheard
heartbeat....
love stagnates
within soft
red walls
true cruelties
of an
unrequited heart
barbed wire
retorts hide
each rejection
tasting bile
in each romantic
thought
knowing....
my heart
doesn't easily
love
or forget

A song in Time
longing to be
besides you
sing you a song
plucked from heart's vine
stars on music chords
eyes open wide
arms and kisses
circle of safeness
hummed within the song
tenderness
misted eyes
songs choked
on melancholic
throats closed
in tears
floating
on rippled ponds
discarded paper
gold circles broken
thrown.
besides you

throats closed

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

Last drinks shouts the tender
drink em up
it's time to be out
I need to get home
so sip the last of your beer
slam down the last shots
head toward the outside
the chill of the night
fought off by the incoherence of
alcohols numb
the wisps of the smoke machine swirls
and clings like sad fog
to the crusted carpets
where booze and blood
bile and tears have stained my memories
with exquisite times and the haunted agony
of a thousand-thousand poets ...
