Depression recycledEmpty work resists an empty home
Too much to bear without clinking bottles
Swaying in a plastic bag like seasick genies
Empty life finding harbor in emptiness
Even if it’s something to feel guilty again
It’s like welcoming Legions for guests
Something to keep depression company
Keep them occupied, let them kill the hours
The hours are Prometheus dripping red
Why does my...

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...

As He Poured The WineYou are such a tool go back to school
they yelled at him without hindsight
You got nothing between your ears
pack it up Joe, walk only by night
He took his thermos and left for Rome
feeling like a dumbass, quite stupid
When he got there, two arms alone
greeted him, ...

Requires that a fellow be drunk,
Pursuing the happy,
A literate chappy,
So happy became that he stunk....

Time For Champagne
Lost in haze of her dusky eyes
My senses all overpowered
Nudging me for more bright hours
Of quiet, sparkling connections;
Part of wine's bubbly enticement.

Aristotle and the ParrotAristotle, doth he opine,
That parrots grow saucy with wine.
I can't help but think
He drove it to drink,
The source of its moral decline....

Ruby LaneDown here on Ruby Lane
Sitting looking at the rain
Looking at my glass of red
Thinking what I haven’t said
If through negligence some changes
Shuffle here with rearrangements
Nothing’s changed its all the same
Changes die on Ruby Lane
From the dullest land of mad
I have come to get some bread
And some wine I need to take
Just to have a...

A DECREPIT JELLYFISH DREAMERMany mountains, seas, women, and dollars made
But for you only was each moment played
An aged wine flask, your decrepit skin cracks
As flaccid muscles bend your creaking back
Hard hammer toes hamper your stiff walking style
Toilet king, bilious bombard of bile
Fog obscures your mind, only to rise again
Wishing for many things which might have been
Stung as by...

Truth In Advertising
I do enjoy imbibing a vintage libation
now and again (and again, and again)
but when I thought I'd bought
the best bottle of Bordeaux money can buy,
then looked at the label on the back,
before pulling the cork, I nearly had a heart attack.
'Characterised by a great body,' it stated,
'velvety cedar and hazelnut texture,'
but my taste buds went...

Cheesecake and WineCheese Cake and Wine
We could go out sometime.
We could drink some red wine.
Enjoy a pleasant evening in the moonlight.
You have always been so kind.
Wine and cheesecake would be great.
Hope it’s not too late.
We could go out around eight.
We could make wonderful memories.
With flavor and creativity.
It...

Looking to the HarvestA lunar luster spills a silvershine
cascade of nebulating moonshine lilt
onto a night-time field, drawing a quilt
of pale radiance over the still vine.
A myriad of glowing serpentine
twines sleep.—but, slithering round its stout stilt,
a wakeless plant is working out its tilt.—
It’s fruit will not be ripe enough for wine.
So see I, amidst the flourishing grape,
the withering...

Sweet Wine
Sweet Peach Wine
In the valleys where prayer flags dance,
And clouds kiss Himalayan glance,
I found a bottle, soft and fine,
Of Bhutan’s sweet peach-scented wine.
It tasted like a lover’s sigh,
A summer dusk, a blushing sky,
With every sip, your name would bloom,
A floral echo through the room.
The amber liquid, slow and deep,
Unveils the dreams we dare to...

Spilled Wine
Laughter and love
Light hearted yet serious
A touch and a smile
Oops a little wine spilled
A rush and an experience
Here, take a bite
The music all around us
And yet we're alone
Laughter and love
Lighthearted yet serious
We walk hand in hand
A story untold
I'll love you forever
And ever and ever
Time stands still for us and
Oops a little wine spilled

The ash in the wood burner is still warm white and esoteric
an unborn dream a sin to shovel into a sink bucket when
it looks holy and ought to be strewn upon the tranquil sea
with the first drop of rain the ash in the bucket a dust cloud
disperse like souls in the forest but,...
