August 31st 2019 (Big Camp)
Five days after performing at Hastings Pride
(My first performance on a stage!)
I was then transported to Lincolnshire
For a fabulous Big Camp
In a field surrounded by other fields
Containing sheep, and turnips!
I'd put myself down on an open mic
I was awaiting my turn
And was to follow a strong man act
Which was pretty impressive
But i was thinking, how does a poet follow that?
Whilst waiting, i went to get myself another cider
When i noticed they had something called mead
Never liked honey, but thought 'when in Rome'

Festive Solitude
The holidays were quiet
how it all changed
through the years
empty seats at the dinner table
less laughter
So much emphasis
on one day
And this year
as schedules
and timing dictated
I spent it alone
and survived
But I would be lying
if I said I didn't miss the company
Or those smells of the feast
I never thought as I got older
that connection would be farther away
but it is
and I hope that when it finally happens
it will be about...

Numb Misery
The drink calls for me
Whispering calming release
The bitter always present
An attempt to hide with sweet
The cravings will not cease
Desiring for the anguish to relent
Her voice, once strong in memory
Fading into my own, holding on
To the honeyed words spoken
Once to be light and feathery
Now to be labored and gone
My spirit feels so broken
Do you know what she would say?
Every holiday when asked
What gift she seeks?
"You" she'd convey
"In that dress" said at last ...

Silent Night, Holy Night
The Eastern Sun Kingdom
Twas Good Cheer
Oh, my King we are getting too old for this
Woman, we are melaninated, and created from the inhale and exhale of His nostrils, we are sacred cosmic dust upon the winds that drift
You still look the utopia of yesteryear, and sexy as Heaven’s twinkling stars
That’s only because you weakened me when I crossed your threshold bearing my presents, and after that night on your sleigh bed, looking back we’ve come so far
Gray haired after all these years, yet still giving humanity its much rewarded...

Ahh.. Cuddling Up To Some Chocolate During The Holidays
Whispers of seduction he plays upon the chorus of my mind
The absence of his love notes, his caresses blanketing in allocated moment of passion
My love, take upon my virginity in the hunger of your need
Look upon my eyes as you ease into, the Milky Way of my soul
Mm... yes, slip deeper into mysteries of my yoni, hold my waist
And make me the night of your desires as heart, minds blend
Bodies contoured in the kaleidoscope of the moment
Let me wear the unrehearsed scent of you
Raw, unchained,...
The absence of his love notes, his caresses blanketing in allocated moment of passion

Loosening the White Knuckled Grip
I should be..
Nah.
I need to...
Who cares.
It's 7 AM! I overslept!
Pfffttt
Ugh! Ruth smashed a cupcake in Gustavo's face at the Christmas party and I didn't do anything about it.
Yawn. He lived.
Why did all my teacher gifts from parents have to be sweets?
Because they're effing good, even the Ferrero Rochers, and yes, I will have another.
How many times have I watched the David Lee Roth Just a Gigolo video since Friday evening?
Who's counting? It's cute and funny and I love...
Nah.

Silent Night, Holy Night (A Black Panther Snow Globe)
My love, my Black Panther, we have been walking our land way before time
Delivery our messages to hearts, with reasons and with rhymes
Giving kids smiles of joy each cheerful holiday time after time
Do you think the gown folk masses are really listening
When sleigh bells are glistening
The holidays are not just about spreading cheer this time of the year
My love, I am sure minds would think differently
When loved ones who were here last year absence are sadly felt in the need
Newborn babies being born to carry generations on ...

Pool Side
I can't avert my eyes
seeing you perfectly fitted
in that bikini top and bottom
it only encourages the hunger
you drying in the sunlight
after that morning dip
poolside,
just you and I
I want to take you right there,
again
even though I had you late last night
someone might catch us,
but do I really care
I know you are doing it for me
and you have my attention.

A Vacation
on a vacation from their wives two men did gallivant
in a merry tipsy gait britches all askew
singing together happily causing quite the brouhaha
quite a sight they were with their antics and shenanigans
at night beer in hand they walked the street
a jalopy they found thought it would be sweet
to give pity to its situation take it for a drive
on the streets they drove without care for the rigamarole
their laughter rang through the night
with skull duggery in mind they stood together
their daring tipsy groove flummoxed all ...

Afterparty in the neighborhood
Black leather
Doused with sun tan crisco
She's dancing the funky
San Fran Disco
Oozing sweat
Hair wet
She shakes
Rattles and twirls
in her own world
Dance Floor Girl
The Dj plays
his audience dances the night away
Candles burn
Incense
The moon soon fades
as night turns to day
Nightmares
soon are dreamt away
in the midst
of a brand new day
met with hulahoops
dancing boys and girls
who knew nothing of yesterday
.
