of my eyes

see the visions 

    in my mind,

as the pines melt

    in lines

on the sun-beamed tide.

Stonch

Some dressed for themselves
and others for the mood.
I’m stuck up for words,
too much attitude.

I ordered a brandy
just to fit in,
and when asked to speak,
choked and grinned.

Tired

Exhausted promises
broken

between
two lovers
saying good-bye.

Pillow talk
lasts a night
than sleeps
for eternity.

Autumn

Piercing sun
bites exploding ears - leaves,

spreading
red and green
through rays.


Muffled

No this isn't it, I lie through my teeth.
My instinct is to share with you everything,
yet knowing you don't wish the same
I become scared and weakened at the huff of your voice;
as if my summons has interrupted the boyish reactions of your clumsiness.
All that is needed is for you to settle in,
wrapping around the very truth of life,
in recognition of your need to be one with someone like yourself.

The Morning After

Have you ever quivered,
from a night
your body gave?, 

and now your heart
pumps hardness
through your veins,
while your love for it
begins to shake?

Synthetic Freedom

The sky fills with diamonds,
issuing scents of pewter and plastic.
It takes liquid silence
to numb this vibrance.

Feeling safe,
warm,
far from my skin….
wondering where my nurse has been,
to chase her eyes
for their starry glow.
I want to share with her
my eternal knows.
But is she willing to hear
the fearless sting,
of my sporadic, synthetic offerings ?

This was only yesterday

I looked upon the same glass frame,
your lips on it remain.
Faced pressed against the glass,
I kiss the only thing that lasts. 

Condensation

Breath on cold glass
causes rainbow eyes
of lights                                              in the distance.

Parasitic wasps!

I found a pen for my parasitic wasps,

to write their freedom at a butterfly's cost.

So they penetrated her cocoon, chaffing their pathetic tombs.

Indifference

I have decided
not to decide.

Jane in the Infirmary

Bad timing
cold conversations
yet doctors seeming
friendlier - family foreign.

Hygienic rituals
are praised -
for even hearing is humbled.

First Dance

Talked in Circles
waiting for an opening.
Tangent complete!
 - Must Make move -
to spin in,
to get her to open,
to 'tangle'.
As she dances, pheromones release.
Tango complete!

Why?

He
Asked,
"Why
are
you
writing
on
paper
bags?"
I
replied,
"Because
I
am."

Change

Money plays peace for a price,
exchanging thinking for History.
Past angers 'present arms' to future wars !

Separation

Although selfish and wanting,
you're leaving
a united mentality?

What happens in War? -
no one left to settle your score.

You'll have no help from Labrador !

Pride and Ignorance
Leave!
There's no begging here.

Neptune Café

Pretty blue bowls sitting in a row,
Those windows make me look too…

Oh what’s that….have I taken your spot?
Forgive me…or was it too much to assume…

I wonder if they'll keep what’s left 

or let it go to waste ?

And, how much do they charge
for a salad in this place?

Five eighty-two for a dish of “Neptune”?
I’d rather eat with the dogs
then come back here again.
