The Golden Dragon
The wild dragon
Drew a dragons breath
Gazing at the dark grey sky
Opened its wings, and began to fly
Silently, it soared
Its gilded golden wings
Gliding with the breeze
A hungry flight, she couldn't appease
She cut through the clouds
To seek out the sun
Camouflaged, by her golden glow
Breathing out, a rekindled firey flow
As her torched, and torturous body
Now invigorated, she flew back to her cave
Within her concave eyes, lay a tapestry, of deep blue hues
As flames, from her ochre pastel tongue, grew...
Drew a dragons breath

Opened its wings, and began to fly
Silently, it soared

Camouflaged, by her golden glow
Breathing out, a rekindled firey flow

Unnoticed
Reading the papers and seeing the news on TV
the festive season has begun, like an eager blue tractor
little time for those caught up in wars;
We will remember them at the dinner table.
A woman received 8 million dollars in a divorce settlement
she had had aromatherapy worthy of a queen.
New knee caps worthy of Nefertiti’s found in the sand.
The divorcee can afford her hip bones if ever found,
according to the newspapers who live on rumours.
Archaeologists are looking for the ancient queens’ pubic hairs,
Now, that...

LANDSCAPE OF WATER AND FIRE
Culture is a volcano
That is never dormant
They're all sleeping giants here—
Let's wake them up
That is never dormant
They're all sleeping giants here—
Let's wake them up

Final Acts
Odysseus
master of the bow
reaching the shores
of his eternal love
sought her suitors
who strafed his ears
with desperate pleas
to proffer them peace
Mendicants upon their knees
poet and priest
appealing each
for their release
but the warrior
with assured mind
upon one man
cast immutable eye
Sparing the other
whose winged words
draw the light of holy Word
breathing song
that crowns the world
The other in...

A DOORWAY FOR SPIDER WOMAN
Spider woman tickles the earth
And tickles the roots
For she knows the worth
Of the sprouts and the shoots
She uses her fingers
To hold things together
And when it is needed
She conjures a tether
As strong as the ore
Of the mountains up high
Which she magically uses
To build things and fly
She uses her eyes
To inspect your endeavors
Eight of them miss
Nothing whatsoever
You can learn many secrets
From her you know
Just be careful regarding
Which...

To build things and fly

To inspect your endeavors

You know what they say
about Poets with big feet . . .
yet I do more than make
bold statements, leaving
behind impressions deep;
we believe in full disclosure
lumbering into the open
being up front with facts
not sitting on our asses
out in the wilderness
as you scratch your head
asking, WHAT the FUCK
was THAT?
with no recourse
but to investigate
determine specifics
from the vague
and build mythologies
based upon grainy video
or plaster castings ...

Deep Meeting Of Meaning.
We are with you.......In your Linear Time.
We are with you........Without Time.
We've always been with you....Throughout,what you call Time.
For the name Time........We have no name for,at this Time.
Some of us....As you say.....Have been.
Some of us........Have not been.
But no matter.....Wherever you begin,
End,
And Start.
We'll always Bebyyourside........Till the end of your cycle of Human Life.

Brain Drain
Mistress giving brain is a sentience merger / A sense disturber / Tense and turgid / A pair of crows on a wire: attempted murder / Loki was sent to take shit further / Circles evolve / Berserker jaw / Espionage / Expressing the raw / The depths I saw / Never forget / Illlicit spit won’t pause / Lyrical law infractions / Equal and ri-cock-lous reaction / Drooling masses and their factions / Lacking the RAM and vernacular feed / Can't understand my words but the intuned still felt me / ‘Stead of blank stares like Dracula examining a selfie / Ahead and aware enough to put the Library of...

Baritones
Tangled as if a ball of twine
like strands of dark wine
with sediments of twilight
in shadows of mime
touched by the ignis fatuus
shining through the window
with egg-shaped flowers
touched by widows of past poets
rising over stones of baritones
like strands of dark wine
with sediments of twilight
in shadows of mime
touched by the ignis fatuus
shining through the window
with egg-shaped flowers
touched by widows of past poets
rising over stones of baritones
