Take me beat me and mold me
I am yours to do with what you wish
No matter what you do with me
I am still considered quite a dish.

I can modify your hardness
I can let you know when to boil
I can conduct a heat in you
And I...

I am five,
I want all the pears and pies,
Pops, sweets and fries;
I really think this life.

I am ten,
I have learnt how to hold my pen,
Learnt what it means to tame
My throat for neighbour’s food.

I am thirteen,
I am now a teen,
I decide whether to be fat...

"50 Words for Poe: Witch"




She liked driving fast
The number plate in the dust
Read DOT.OZ.LimaLimaBrava 
Their destination was Wichita

Foot to the Floor 
Off Route 66 Silver Lady purred
Some Kansas backwater 
Galena sped by in a blur

He kind of liked it 
that she wore hardly a stitch...

50 shades of therapy
50 shades of restraining orders
50 shades of rejection
50 shades of addiction
50 shades of suicide
50 shades of rainy days
50 shades of cloudy ways
50 shades of jazz and blues
50 shades of painful memories
50 shades of wartime wounds
50 shades of political doom
50 shades of curtains...

50 Fallen Stars
There's a plague of insanity among us
Is it blind ignorance or just the blatantly ignorant?
A whole new land of despair and those with golden bars shall survive.

Hitler too was a citizen-
Also illicitly placed into power by officials
Did they think they could control the...

"50 Words for Poe: Metamorphosis"



Intricate souls, 
Complex needs
interconnected
Light energy 
binds them 
2 hearts
2 minds
Become 
1 heart
1 mind
it’s all in the 
timing
the complexities 
of a trick

Reciprocity
with a kiss
intuitive
apport 
the exchange
of a key,
The Gift 

MAGIC

Metamorphosis

The answer to this 
trick 
begins with the binding
of his wrists

"50 Words for Poe: Monkey Boy"




"VACANT" ...

You lie your head down on a soft pillow
in a grey room 
They say you have the Key
But it’s Hell, 
you’ve done the work
You’re not forgiven
You’re not free

Someone on the other side 
wants to lie down
there is no soft...

If you are 50 and you are naked
Please
Make it a poem and not a photo
A poem we see your inner beauty
A photo we see out of warranty
A poem we see you’re giving spirit
A photo we see your sagging dreams
A wilting flower is majestical poetry
On paper...

"50 Words for Poe: Temporal"



"Labyrinthine mind 
within chalked 
bones of cranium
lies the vestibule 
and shrine of
broken sacraments -
absent Advent,
Pentecost and
an "epiphany" 
solely lacking 
The All Divine.
There She lays like
Iseult waiting for 
Dragon's tongue
Black night eternal
immersed vanilla amoeba
floating ectoplasm
transmuting in time
there, keys will be found
like broken...

"The 50 Move Rule"



Thomas Crown 
rolled his smile 
around her frown

Romance blew a warm breath
over her pristine cowrie shell
Voodoo Mojo Bag

There, 
just there, 
an Ocean made a Blue move

In the Red
Life
Black Black White

White White Black
Read,
A story to tell

White White Black 
Black Black White 
The 50...

My husband is in many ways the opposite of me.
Were he to make a left turn along a route, I’d go right inevitably.

Astrologically, he’s emotional (double water) but I’m a stable triple earth.
He rarely laughs, not even at a comic’s show, while I enjoy mirth.

As...
