You are the boss.
A little late at work,
Came home, you met on the threshold.
The look is hard, incinerating to the holes,
He looked at me like a jeweler.
A little bit of fear won't hurt me,
because you're pushing, it's exciting.
One movement and you pressed me against the wall,
A little painful, uncomfortable to the back.
A hand at the throat, the other on the hip,
You are definitely the winner in this game.
And me! What am I?! You play without rules,
Again this only excites.
The breath is hot, not a word, just movements,
Looks...

Wearing Socks Of Mad, Of Own Hero
The cricket whispers to the silence within
listening to the mendacity of twilight, hoarse
with the voice of acapella sage leading the choir
wearing the socks of mad at their reality show,
a line of BS lining their tabloid ego
inflating their own self-importance, hoping it sticks
with lies on the move, being contagious

divine non-being
In the vortex of being, a stillness whispers,
echoes nothingness, in chambers of silence.
Existing without essence, without the figure itself,
navigate chaos, without a compass of mercy.
Being is a burden, non-being is a torment,
the void extends into an endless abyss.
The pain of chaos, a lament in the wind,
a silent scream, in which I lose myself.
In the dance of time, steps without destination,
where being is chance, and non-being is divine.
The search for meaning, in tortuous paths,
reveals the irony of idle desires. ...

You are... Mine!
You are my thought
why should anyone think of you?
You are my love
why should anyone love you?
you are my moon
why should someone else worship You?
You are my habit
why should someone change you?
You are my prayer
why should someone demand for you?
You are my story
why should someone else write you??
why should anyone think of you?
You are my love

Rwanda Bound
Rowena says, “Honey, I don’t want to ruffle your feathers after our romantic night of beer and potato chips over movies. However, do you recall that French was my major in college? In fact, it is my second language.”
Doug replies, “You know I am in complete agreement. We should watch more French movies instead of American cheese. So finally I will set up our satellite TV and we’ll watch Brigitte Bardot to our heart’s content. Of course, you will be my starlet Brigitte will just put us in the mood.”

A Riff on Catullus
Go soak your swollen piss ant head
You silly skulking schoolboy
and your purile sniping friends
who think that I am arrogant and all thesaurus bound
because I use some words that you don’t know
and phrase myself within a flow that you
have yet to master, let alone approach,
and have a way, as you do not,
of crafting images that women say
have made them hot and wet and pliable
and brought them silken pleasures in the night.
You minor squeaking carping thing.
Because you’ve known you cannot contests win
and how you’ve fallen...

A Firm Hand
A smirk appears
when he announces
"corrective action"
She was out a little too late
and her whereabouts concealed
She is in that sleepy state
stomach flat to the mattress
His hand smoothing the cotton
in a pleasing caress
He delicately pulls them down
still rubbing her bottom
"I got carried away," she admits
as his finger scrolls along the parting
The twinge of anticipation
filters through the silent room
He delivers a firm smack
and she raises to meet the second

PENSION ENVY
He spent 30 years working at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
He got the job when he was 21.
There were annual raises. Regular reviews for promotion.
Paid vacations.
Health insurance without copays.
When his boss retired he was promoted to supervisor.
He drove a "company car," which he gassed up right there, alongside the highway patrolmen.
Our tax dollars at work.
Now he's retiring.
He and his wife will be the taking their RV into the up country for a few weeks.
"Get away from the heat," he says.
"Must be nice," I tell him. ...

Infusion of Fate
Eyes glistening within the storm.
My failure to produce a symphony due to the confines of mediocrity.
Pheromones lead me to the restriction of choice.
Love is bought and sold everyday without remorse.
My idea of happiness was an ambition that exceeded my ability.
Somewhere out there is a heart beating for everyone without exception.
War is dying for an idea that never deserved more than a simple glance.
My desire to be a step above average is sure to be the beginning of the end.

Shafts of Light
Shafts of Light
Honeymoon
Memories
Were never
Meant to be
The shafts
Of light
They formed
For me.
For from
Before
Those words
Were said
The memories
Had
Long
Been dead,
Those
Volunteers
On the
Battlefield
Whose strength
Was lost
In bar room
Yield.
