Life's Ride
How many hungering heartbeats
until your life has flown bye?
The ecstatic events are just
a flash in time.
And the painful days
compose an immortal rhyme.
Let me ask you.
Did you take life's ride?
Don't lie.
In defiance of gravity,
to fill your cavity,
and feel acutely alive.
In the heat of my mind,
memories swelter.
Begging for the heart's tender shelter.
Destiny's fragments fall from a starry sky
Learn to live without the stalking question why.
Your evolution wants a surprise.
until your life has flown bye?
The ecstatic events are just
a flash in time.
And the painful days
compose an immortal rhyme.
Let me ask you.
Did you take life's ride?
Don't lie.
In defiance of gravity,
to fill your cavity,
and feel acutely alive.
In the heat of my mind,
memories swelter.
Begging for the heart's tender shelter.
Destiny's fragments fall from a starry sky
Learn to live without the stalking question why.
Your evolution wants a surprise.

Lon Chaney Jr.
sweet torment,
don't splash your wine on me
these pockets are empty.
perched on a barstool
head held in calloused hands
as the lamplight shines
upon a weathered face,etched
with years
vespers murmur
as the conductor wields a swizzle stick
arid martinis know the truth.
limelight, it casts shadows
from Hollywood and Vine
I stutter, speaking
to a Woodward Avenue girl
man becomes the monster,
radio static whispers,
sweet voices torment
a green rosetta ripped...
don't splash your wine on me
these pockets are empty.
perched on a barstool
head held in calloused hands
as the lamplight shines
upon a weathered face,etched
with years
vespers murmur
as the conductor wields a swizzle stick
arid martinis know the truth.
limelight, it casts shadows
from Hollywood and Vine
I stutter, speaking
to a Woodward Avenue girl
man becomes the monster,
radio static whispers,
sweet voices torment
a green rosetta ripped...

Trolls often get bad press
I met a troll sitting under a bridge
looking sad
he was kicked out of the mountain
because it had two eyes
normal trolls have only one eye
planted on the forehead
Worst of all, the unfortunate troll didn't
had a tree stuck in his long nose, ducks under
water inhale mightily and
catch trout
Goats grazing at the bank
of the stream,
but the sad troll had a phobia against
against horns
besides, he didn't like the way they stunk
Our troll wore soft...

The Touch Of Infinity (Shapeshifter- Desert Warrior)
Two hearts that beat as one
Tender words spoken, easier said than done
Caution thrown to the wind
Emotions and feelings surrendered, a touch of love when our Chi's slowly blend
Euphoric rush, once my soft purrs and his throaty groans to ether we send
Holding tightly and steadfast this is our beginning, infinity has no end
He allows me to silently animate in my suspend, and emotionally recommend
In the cradle of our stolen moments
Words mingled, whispered, entwined
Eight, creeping to a celestial nine ...
Tender words spoken, easier said than done
Caution thrown to the wind
Emotions and feelings surrendered, a touch of love when our Chi's slowly blend
Euphoric rush, once my soft purrs and his throaty groans to ether we send
Holding tightly and steadfast this is our beginning, infinity has no end
He allows me to silently animate in my suspend, and emotionally recommend
In the cradle of our stolen moments
Words mingled, whispered, entwined
Eight, creeping to a celestial nine ...

Call it destiny, call it fate somehow
But I finally know my purpose now
Is it my calling? No way of knowing
Test faith by falling, scars are still showing
You'll never know until you try
You have to try before you die
Everyone gets a chance to shine
For a small moment in life
Some are left waiting a lifetime
I was only thirty nine
I'm two decades in, but nowhere near out
My back to the wind, and I'm thinking how
This is my calling, finally showing
Not scared of falling, I just keep growing
You'll...

Mmmm… “It's a Man’s World”
Reach out in the space of infinity
Feel the softness of my hands in its embracing identity
The dominance in your roaming palms outline the capacious of my care
My lips your mouth snare
Sss.. you taste like the echoes of the sea
Laying me down, basking in the silkiness of my offering, heightening the appease
Thank you, Allah, for this man who always comes to please
Parting my thighs, bathing in the summer rain of my mystique
Inching your temple closer
Mm… coveting the visions parallel to the sway of my intellect
Whispering...

Sacred Beauty Broken
people
are my religion
the ones
broken by society
the ones
that tried and failed
one more scar to claim
only to pick themselves up
over
and over again
these
people are sacred
the ones
honoring life
to find meaning
in the fight
living
in a state of grace
to stand within the storm
using their scars
as a roadmap to the stars
are my religion
the ones
broken by society
the ones
that tried and failed
one more scar to claim
only to pick themselves up
over
and over again
these
people are sacred
the ones
honoring life
to find meaning
in the fight
living
in a state of grace
to stand within the storm
using their scars
as a roadmap to the stars

Murder of Crows
We are all made of bloodclay
at one with the earth
warm with all directions
wherever they may lead
Molded by measures of love
and the presence of hate
baked by life and
a cob oven sun
My sand brown eyes
with tearless vision
watch them form
circles of oblivion
hovering above my head
A halo of crows
coloring a black witch sky
waiting for me
to trip and shatter
But they misunderstand
the air and the beat
of the sun...
at one with the earth
warm with all directions
wherever they may lead
Molded by measures of love
and the presence of hate
baked by life and
a cob oven sun
My sand brown eyes
with tearless vision
watch them form
circles of oblivion
hovering above my head
A halo of crows
coloring a black witch sky
waiting for me
to trip and shatter
But they misunderstand
the air and the beat
of the sun...

Rascal of Obtuse
With the solubles and ampoules of twilight's
equilibrium and anesthesia eclipsing my soul's
parfum and literary decadence archived in
manuscripts in the ossuary of my bones.
Tapping my tootsies in the disco's flashing lights
of my poetic obsession swapping BS with a
stranger in the manger of my oblivion
in an old Thom McAn shoebox. Listening to
screaming mermaids in my Odyessy
thumbing my nose at cold memories
manipulating my narcissistic rock, yellow
pages in my obsolescence as if the Mad Hatter
and rascal of my obtuse
equilibrium and anesthesia eclipsing my soul's
parfum and literary decadence archived in
manuscripts in the ossuary of my bones.

The Albino-ish Cat
Through the dark wood
Stood a dark house
And within this dark house
Lived a dark mouse
Who
At this precise moment in time
Was caught within the jaws
Of a dark cat
Called Ebony
Ebony wasn't hungry
So was merely toying with the dark mouse
Within the dark house
The dark mouse
Aware of the dark fate
Awaiting it
Squeaked loudly
Ebony the cat
Momentarily distracted
Opened it's jaws in surprise
The dark mouse
Sensing its opportunity to escape
Ran out of the jaws of the dark cat
Straight into...
Stood a dark house
And within this dark house
Lived a dark mouse
Who
At this precise moment in time
Was caught within the jaws

Ebony wasn't hungry
So was merely toying with the dark mouse
Within the dark house
The dark mouse
Aware of the dark fate
