InkThe ink of storms wreaks havoc on the unturned page.
Pulped filaments flop face-lessly before eyes once warm, yet frigid cold.
Daring not to expect much to read or write,
I stare blankly from the aughts of night.
Stars are but memories from books,
Overshadowed by polluted distances, smudged by the burn of business bustling below in the barrel....

Lost in Loneliness
When friends suggested, “Try cocaine!”
Mike’s “No” would reckon choice.
His mom ignored this new campaign;
rebuff became Mike’s voice.
Having seen what crack does to his mom,
Mike felt no peer sway, but still stayed
stranger to the world of common...

When In Rome
No pease porridge for me if you please
neither hot nor cold
especially not if what's in the pot
is nine days old
for when in Parma Palermo or Pisa
(no pottage slop)
I'm predisposed and have the propensity
to pour a potent potable
(pink plonk)
and prefer to partake of a piece of pepperoni pizza
with pancetta pomodoro peperoncini
porcini plus a peck of pecorino...

A Drink Of Let GoA Drink of Let Go
Hardy Levis shorts
Stuckup seesaw
Let go of forgot
Now playing
To my mistakes Sounds of chord Shapes in time
Echo at the end before
The meeting has begun
I can't let go
I say what is life
On any casual day
Will I miss the flowers and the.trees
There's a girl over there
we latch on...

To drink you in like a spring of light, in the mystery of the night unfoldingTo drink you in like a spring of light, in the mystery of the night unfolding
Into thousands of silver threads, woven by stars on the sky like a silk canvas.
Your body, a cathedral of desires, beneath my trembling fingers,
Is a map of constellations, where our dreams catch and unite.
Your serene gaze, a crystal lake in...

Nick Knack Paddy Whack
Paddy was a hit man
for the Irish Mob
hired to be slick
and do a whack job
but he didn't have the knack
or know the trick
without being caught
and put in the nick
behind bars
but not the sort one might think
where a few jars
may be bought and he did so love a drink
more than one too many
was his undoing
the cause...

RESERVATIONS FOR TWODining and Wine sipping lovers
Like a Red Rose to think of
Evening of elegance
Beauty and Harmony
Tone of the night through avion
Food quality delight
Music making everything alright
Dance of two of eyes facing in a trance
Swirl and circle
Kiss highlight
A date of all time
Full Moon watch
Stars advance
Feeding romance
Reservation and atmosphere being the right place at the right time
A Man...

Bubble burstIf you want
To go out
Have a drink
Shake a leg

Cheers!! Premier contest 3 winnerI shall read you a poem in my drunken state,
if my speech is slurred, forgive me mate,
it is a cocktail of rum, vodka and cognac,
if boss finds out I will surely get the sack!
so am i drinking at work? you may ask,
yes, my mate, from my steel thermos flask,
I bring in to work each morning...

Manners Maketh Man
The premise goes everyone knows
before entering the premises
while still outside yet on the mat
it's no gentleman who forgets
to doff his cap or remove his hat
if dining out or at a private party
for a particular person
it's impolite at most
to sip slurp or slink a drink
before the toast to a hospitable host
and when beside the table laden
confronted...

Be Mine?I’d say I know my partner pretty well:
She’s cool, so smooth, and outshines every light?
that merely grazes her—O’! what a sight!
If just that you could see what I can’t tell!
My partner is that holy, hallowed well!—
A muse and martyr, wisp and wanton sprite,
if you could catch an honest glimpse, you might
then think I’ll...
