NATURISM MAKES A PRISM,
Naturism
makes a prism
through which to see
the nudity
of the body,
not as dirty
but quite worthy
in harmony
with creation.

myth of the myth
do you think the Phoenix
does not mourn the loss
of all that came before
flaming feathers
an agony of memory
as they burn to cinders
remembering...
remembering...
& do you not believe
they remember
everything
each moment
beautiful & broken
in those previous days
aching...
choking...
keening their pain
into smoke-filled skies
lungs thick with ash
voice hoarse & ragged
echoing...echoing...echoing
into haunted silence

Will You
Ah will you let go, let go
Of everything you know, of everything you know
For thirty pieces of silver, thirty pieces of silver
Will your tongue fork and slither, fork and slither
Ah will you deny,deny
Before the sunrise, sunrise
Everything that you know, that you know
Before the cock crows, you deny what you know
Is the truth in you, after all that we've been through
How many times did I defend you, proving that my words are true
You placed your problems like wishes on my list
Claimed an undying love for me then did me like...

Two Cats
In the soft glow of evening
two cats lie together.
Their breaths steady
tails gently twitching in dreams.
Their whiskers quiver,
paws knead the air,
murmurs of sleep talk
escape their parted lips.
One purrs deeply,
a sound like distant thunder.
The other replies,
a softer rhythmic hum.
Their bodies rise and fall
with each contented sigh,
In this tranquil moment
all is almost quiet and serene.
You watch over them,
heart swelling with love,
Each sound, each movement, ...

~karmic traverses of cosmic nomads
a dusty sandy opacity saree
you drape.. over your ironic
silk cottony desiccated arms
in an all out vertical spreads..
& those stretched out devilish
castor leafed bony fingers of
a darkened green canopies
as if in an eerie waiting trap
are in a karmic converse
to the slenderish mimosas
with their shrinking inner
shyly touch-me-nots.. &
their nearby seen in divine
similitudes.. the minutely
detailing Acacias in pinnate
greens & smiling catechus
..with their springing young ...

Ofrenda
My father’s ashes sit on my sister’s windowsill
Along with other family members overlooking the yard
And whenever I visit on festive occasions
I make sure I have a drink
With a slight nod and toast to him
In honor of his memory
So I think…
Maybe when my time comes
And my kids and grandkids put my picture out
I’d want them to remember our times
As they read some of my poetry
Giggling while reading them rhymes
Then I’ll come across the bridge
Smelling the food and hearing them laugh
And I’ll say - laugh because...

Long Time Forgotten
Evening meal in silence
I feel your misery
in a strange silhouette
deeper than a melody
in the dying night
a long time forgotten
in a strange silhouette
I feel your misery
in a strange silhouette
deeper than a melody
in the dying night
a long time forgotten
in a strange silhouette

A Touch Of Infinity
Boy quit playing that isn’t no five-caret ring
I cannot even see one diamond
Na’ll baby look closer
This piece of bling set me back, girl you better quit playing
And peep this, I even had the inside engraved
You better hold out that finger of yours
And I’m still getting the panties later
Arrogant and handsome, who knew
Oh, let me read the engraving, hold it near the candle flames
Oh, I love you and yes
That is a diamond I would love to wear for eternity
I thought you knew who the King is
Well,...

The third eye
The moon - a pearly bindi
with its mystical aura,
sits between the invisible eyes
of the skies;
It's the third eye
which opens a portal
to the soul of the heavens
connecting to the divine...
