Possible Ghostly Encounter In The Shower
While she was taking
a shower, Kendra saw John
open the door with a smile.
But when she turned off
the water and noticed he's
really not there, she cried.

Enunciate!
I'd say...sailing on to Ceylon,
sounds like phonemic heaven
until I hear convenience rhyme
seven with eleven!
You too may have an ad man's ear
when writing out a sound
where meter isn't overwrought
by words which will confound...
since lowly pays the common heed
to elocution's art
when their attention span's as short
as Hermes on a fart...
both in and out your mouth and nose
like steward wine from hell
whose oratory lessons shat...
like a farmer in the dell.

One Of You Knows Who Killed Tupac Shakur
Look,
People!
We know full
well that... at least...
one of you knows who
killed Tupac Shakur by
way of a drive-by shooting!
It's either you go to the cops
and tell them what you know about that
or that prick's next vic would be you! Your choice!

Theseus and the Minotaur
the taut thread
in the passages
of the cold labyrinth
the paper walls
minotaur scratches
the silk curtains
of cobwebs
Ariadne knows more
than what you think
she knows how to make a thread
that everything can handle
the thrust of penetration
of Theseus
and the destructive force
from the horns of the halfman
no hero could foresee
the fragile thread stretched
that unites the beginnings
to the inevitable ends
Ariadne sees all
that passes through the curtains
of cobwebs ...

Josephine
I always loved you Josephine
Eyes as bright as tourmaline
You were the prettiest girl in the room
But made your escape that afternoon
Ascending to the sky in a hot air balloon
I had always meant to meet you that day
At a quarter to two on the tenth of May
A planned rendezvous at the corner cafe
Turns out that due to a tragic delay
You’d later depart in a perilous way
So when I set out to meet my Queen
Franky and Carlo cornered me
They said I had a debt to pay
Then knocked me senseless anyway
You’d waited...

Shakespeare Distorted
Drinking and gaming know not my way
And even smoking; erotic writing, yes i say
But,as a human being i have my flaws
I confess i do love the fair sex, yes i do
Though i am not a ladies man if you know
E'en when after some beauties i may go
Not a craving drive addict, or lustful libido
Romance taught me the spirit of Romeo
I will never steal some men's' precious gem
Nor drive naive lass commit coitus crime
My ethics taught me to be courteous knight
Pure to the core, adult to know left from right
...

Mortality
Who shall explain
devastating tragedy
imprisoned in death
never to be free
Demons do creep
there is no misgiving
venomous strikes
attacking the living
Spectres of regret
carve images in the mind
casting ominous shadows
calamity assigned
Heart wrenching fate
brutal and unfair
it comes for us all
innocents beware
devastating tragedy
imprisoned in death

To Meet My Blind Date
As soon as I walked into
Morton's The Steakhouse to
meet my blind date, my
eyes
grew
wide
at the sight of an
old high school chum looking
at me in such a hot dress.
We said that we were happy
to see each other while
we let ourselves chow
down
on
some
wild mushrooms before
I saw the look of pure
sadness on that face of hers.
When we got to the filet
mignon with sour cream mashed
potatoes, she told
me
with
tears
leaking out of those
eyes that her husband back ...
