noir (a very short story)
she was hotter than a
highjacked snub nose
38 with it's serial numbers
scratched off and more
dangerous than a steamy
back alley and a crooked
deal gone bad on some
late August Baton Rouge
night
...but my oh my!
how she looked in
a black dress and
pearls
and how many good
men went bad for her
with just a wink of her
eye
...the graveyards ain't
snitchin'

Hesperian Allure!
All clear last night, yet, in the southeast
the moon loafed over horizon puffs
as far flung as eldritch cottonwood fluffs
or dragon breath the Atlantides released
in apple garden exhalation mode
to glow as gold as the gibbous is thick
as satisfaction for the lunatic
wearied of the light emitting diode.
You see, lunatics know which light is best
and which hue most rewards the midnight eye
when mytho-scanning from east to west
all the aesthetics of a moonlit sky...
which Hesperus had long ago addressed
when she taught Luna...

Canonical Hours
So often sought in twilit skies
are the arcane secrets there
when that luminous flux applies
to the billow surge it must share
with lunar lumens at their peak
and stars and planets in the mix
to play a cloudy hide and seek
as if a writhing bag of tricks
ruled the moonrise roost of beams
in threshold vermicelli waves
overlapping cumulous streams
cascading through the freshest graves
to squirm in some composting meat
long past the matins on repeat
for martyrdom at every turn,
in undercroft...or welkin churn!

Pandora's block
Box ready, packed, on the table...
He imagined the opening
and could already feel the fireworks
in her eyes.
He looked at the clock
and decided it was too early.
He grabbed his coat and
walked out the door.
He went out to do some things...
he died after being run over!
The box remained,
ready and closed, on the table.

The Ballad of the Crab
Old Hercules was brave and strong,
a credit to his dad.
He made the world a safer place
which made his dad’s wife mad.
Back up a step, that’s not quite true.
For Hera had some proof
that Zeus can’t keep it in his pants
and took her for a goof.
Babe Herc, he was a demi-god
birthed of Alcmene’s line.
Instead of getting mad at Zeus
Queen Hera hurled all her abuse
at stopping Herc’s divine.
She tried to kill him at every turn,
and never got her wish,
but that’s not the tale I want to tell
I want...
a credit to his dad.

The Giggling Laugh
From a multi-colored ass to thighs that is oversized
Has never stopped a man from enjoying her psychosis ride,
“At her full potential she is a mesmerizing sight to behold
Mystical and empowered with a heart of pure dark gold,
“Her emotions change like water her orgasm flows like milk
Canvasing portions of her body making her skin feel like silk,
“Those who nurse on her full breast instantly seal their fate
Either becoming successful in life or permanent paralyzation is what await,
“Her female ejaculation is...

yea
you don't have to look defeated..
a Warrior retreated
feel depleted...
from mistakes repeated
take inventory of the soul
one day at a time
get back to grass roots of what it is
to be you
man down?...man up
there's a blessing in every lesson
in every honest confession
don't allow your faults to lessen
your greatness
manage the damage
as best you can
focus on those gifts and talents
while...
you don't have to look defeated..
a Warrior retreated
feel depleted...
from mistakes repeated
take inventory of the soul
one day at a time
get back to grass roots of what it is
to be you
man down?...man up
there's a blessing in every lesson
in every honest confession
don't allow your faults to lessen
your greatness
manage the damage
as best you can
focus on those gifts and talents
while...

faerie, as far as one can glean
in the undergrowth, beneath the
trees, mythical to some,
unimaginable to others, who state
“it remains to be seen ..”

The Cromlech Eyrie!
Firedrake seething sortilege
of fated doom and wild span
foreshadowing what fears allege
in the proclivities of man...
ogham scraped into stone and bone
the tongue of the creaking tree;
Draco honed...by the wizened crone,
and her north star fidelity
to the precession axis dance
Earth gyration undulation
in the Midgard serpent expanse
of planetary formation.
Look into her eyes and despair
at mortal insignificance there,
in the girasol wither glare...
of dolmen...

Thing About Saint Patrick's Day
Epic thing about Saint
Patrick's Day is people
trying to catch leprechauns
for their pot of gold.
