Distillation
Such deft deception
in my art
laying layer upon layer
with each line
Only to pare
remove
winnow down ...
polishing always
Choosing each word
inspecting thusly
turn it over
till it is ripe
Then mulling about
its placement
within longer languid lines or
solitude
Always my ear bent towards
cadence
flow
truth
in my art
laying layer upon layer
with each line
Only to pare
remove
winnow down ...
polishing always
Choosing each word
inspecting thusly
turn it over
till it is ripe
Then mulling about
its placement
within longer languid lines or
solitude
Always my ear bent towards
cadence
flow
truth

Poetic Slut
Why is it then
that I'm so damn easy
tumbling with just
a mere scribble of verse
Swept away by any
smooth sweet stanza
to avow tender love
eternal
Is it worse than buying
such lame pick up lines
meant to separate me
from my Vicky Secrets
Yet here I once again
find myself
undone
clichéd
Heart trying to outrace
itself
falling in love
with falling in love
that I'm so damn easy
tumbling with just
a mere scribble of verse
Swept away by any
smooth sweet stanza
to avow tender love
eternal
Is it worse than buying
such lame pick up lines
meant to separate me
from my Vicky Secrets
Yet here I once again
find myself
undone
clichéd
Heart trying to outrace
itself
falling in love
with falling in love

Rational Romantic
Why do I always
long for what is
clearly
never meant to last
Falling in love
unending entwinement
growing old together
timeless bliss
When I know
the sad scientific
truth -
Nature's deviousness
Flooding our blood
dopamine
oxytocin
drugged to breed
Silly little
girl
cuddling silly little

Poetry Book
I prefer doing it
the old fashioned way
a sole sojourn
pilgrimage to the bookstore
Having loads of time
having counted my pennies
pursuing the poetry section
giddy ... enthralled
Looking for that special
one
preferably hard covered
as if that makes it more of a classic
Leaning against the wall
running my wetted finger
down smoothed ivory pages
almost feeling each word
Overwhelmed by connection
how each volume fills me
fills this hollowness -
the rest of my life
...

Authenticity
It's what I always
quest
strive for
my poetic mantra
Laying my self
bare
fragile as a cobweb
vulnerable wet cement
No mere spilling my ink
but something more
exacting
authentic
Seeking an inner
voice
that whisper of
soul
What I promise
a difficult simplicity
not truth in every word
but that each line is true

Thorny Knot
I know you like
what you read
what you hear
what you imagine
I am like
on the icy distant
other side
of my sultry poetry
Pretty little miss
perfect
homecoming queen
girl next door
Belying with my smile
painted with practice
having betrayed
as well as been so
Yet still you inquire
consider deft overtures
perhaps even daring to
bloody your fingers
what you read
what you hear
what you imagine
I am like
on the icy distant
other side
of my sultry poetry
Pretty little miss
perfect
homecoming queen

Belying with my smile
painted with practice
having betrayed
as well as been so
Yet still you inquire

perhaps even daring to

Streaming thoughts of insomniac
drips
of drops
drip
tap
tap tap
dropping
from one passage
unto another
splashing
splattering into
dropplets to
re-join
with pull of
gravity
wallowing swirls
countering-
clock-wise-
err
(tic toc, tic toc)
as nature
intended
bravely slipping
into unknown
world of
underground
blooming
Bach
toccata
illuminated by
another sun, moon
starless skies
gods floating on
sea of fugue-
forked tongues ...
of drops
drip
tap

from one passage
unto another

Without a touch!
Without a touch!
I sense your warm embrace!
......you tell me everything.....
It leaves me speechless!
Sometimes, a little B R E A T H L E S S!
We don't touch!
We use words!
We use how we feel!
We create images!
I F E E L YOU
I H E A R YOU
Without a touch
YOU penetrate, my soul!
I sense your warm embrace!
......you tell me everything.....
It leaves me speechless!
Sometimes, a little B R E A T H L E S S!
We don't touch!
We use words!
We use how we feel!
We create images!
I F E E L YOU
I H E A R YOU
Without a touch
YOU penetrate, my soul!

In The Wrong Box
Sometimes I can hardly
even notice
everything seems so
right
All my sides
my myriad facets
perfectly align
blend in splendid harmony
Moving with purpose
design
filling me with such awe
existential joy
But why is it then
in the honesty of darkness
alone with my
self
I can feel how nothing fits
frayed puzzle pieces
simply tossed
in the wrong box
even notice
everything seems so
right
All my sides
my myriad facets
perfectly align
blend in splendid harmony
Moving with purpose
design
filling me with such awe
existential joy
But why is it then
in the honesty of darkness
alone with my
self
I can feel how nothing fits
frayed puzzle pieces
simply tossed
in the wrong box

I was In Love
I was in love
got married
my fairy tale came to an end
lies, broken promises, abuse
I didn't see it coming, he was taking away everything
control
I am nothing
a wife
taken for granted, slave for the king
broken is...

Stained Glass
the light catches ripples & folds,
definitions for a moment made
wiped away
in the blink of an eye
as clouds invade & then
drift away
pressure is building
pleasures soon to be seen
tethered by lines
having very little play,
pains & aches balance
with skilled hand tightly wrapped
around a guide which leads the way
gleams will escape
corner to corner spreading warmth
blanketing each with a
glistened embrace
removing all angst
felt surfacing through
stained glass
...

Poet's Plight
We are these precious
few
self chosen
besieged ... yet dropping our armor
To lay it all down
bow
sword
heavy most shield
Allow each feeling to
lance
scathe
scar
While enduring all in poetic
solitude
to transform salted wounds
into bittersweet art
Unsilent sentinels
for this most human condition
bearing in nightfall ... this lone witness
to pen again with verity's voice
