KUNDALINI RISES
Looking steadily into my shyly cloaked eyes,
His arms encircled but barely embraced me, pulling me closer.
Then slowly sank his soft and gentle hands to gracefully poise above
The life-giving Chakra at the base of my naked spine.
Heating, throbbing, at once igniting the all-creative center
Now expanded in a glorious rise from momentous peak to peak.
He made no...

Look Into My EyesLook into my eyes my love
Tell me what you see
Desire? Passion? Wanting more?
I certainly agree
If you could go inside my head
You'd know just what I think
Then when I looked into your eyes
You'd guide, I wouldn't blink...

Born to Fail
Begotten to Fail
The strutting hustlers
rouse their slumberous day
amidst their maddened worlds
In the midst
of the wary ghetto
A dream steps out
blinking, yawning with a resolve
even as their sky seems blurry
Repelling men and monsters
Relishing the forecasted rain
Marching through
mud and splatters
riding with the lightning
dancing to the pounding...

Poetry is my passionPoetry is my passion,
Empathy is part of my job; it is a deliberate choice.
We just must tell the stories of others
Who can’t defend themselves?
He is an unpopular character, this old man,
Who sits and draws cartoon characters
Of all his childhood abusers,
While blasting their names....

OLD HUSBANDMy old husband, married so many times, making a big giant army with his loves.
Loves that must follow all his rules, or he will cause them to feel blue.
My old husband, has a way of making everyday a special day, that makes me chuckle, with his attention to detail.
My old husband, is such...

The Master BuilderI don’t believe ideal love is real…
Can castles in the sky be built to last
eternities? Or rather burn, as fast
as marriage papers (and melt the holy seal)?
Besides, I hate to think I’m meant to steal
the blueprint to a fortress from my past
to use to plan my future, to forecast
the whim of winds who caren’t...

The Magic You Will Always Return To
The magic you will always return to,
Isn't just the body of your love's quest;
Like the body, your burdened soul once glue.
The fragrance of her smiling face, pursue...
Risk of timing grace you never confessed:
The magic you will always return to,
Is of unseen peering eyes beyond clue,
To free the touching mind posing unrest...
Like the body, your burdened...

Free as can be - version 2
the sun the wind the surge
childish passions emerge
i hear summer’s call
nothing holds me back
as i swing high and tall
years long spent
yet i close my eyes
and youth is omnipresent
a spell of timelessness
manifests its sweet caress

A plate of loveRecently, I have felt awfully starved.
I look around to see everyone filled
to the brim with love.
The aroma of romance makes me want
to lose my mind.
I'm happy my friends are well fed.
They deserve it.
Served on a silver plate,
a plentiful diet.
One that will keep them full forever.
But me on the other hand?
My teeth have gone soft,
and my...

Marriage of Two MindsBehold us one, the marriage of two minds,
Two creatures of cross-continental births,
With force of love the universe combines,
Find, in each other, home, a fount of mirth.
Behold us cleaved, the union of true souls,
Embraced, dancing hearts shield us from the night,
In our arms we find shelter from the cold,
Move them together, to...

Sipping Tea at a BrothelHe pays.
He leaves.
And she bleeds quietly.
Some come for release,
others for control.
Some come to forget.
Some to remember.
Some to be punished.
Some just come because it’s cheap.
It's sin.
It’s not sin.
It’s survival.
It’s escape.
It’s addiction.
It’s barter.
It's bargain.
It's need.
It’s ritual.
Here, bodies are commodities.
Sold by the hour.
Measured by the weight, age and colour of the skin,
freshness of smile,
limpness of resistance.
It is commercialisation...
