Best Blooded Poems

Brighter than a fall bonfire but with the chill of ice, 
the winter sun haloes a gray and barren woodland;
throbbing, almost hesitant, with a florescent pulse,
brazen in its unrelenting descent, it clings to the horizon.

How it hurt my eyes.

Thin skinned, the lids tinge orange, the...

Forgive me for feeling the need to say
I am neither a Communist nor a Nazi,
I’m a red-blooded American who served
My country in the U. S. Air Force, and,
I have always stood up for what’s right,
And, when bullied, I am up for the fight.
Divisiveness here is...

I‘ll confess to a cold blooded murder
I’ve gone down that deep dark path
But I simply had no other alternative
With an intruder lurking in my bath

I had shouted out to my husband
But that action was no darn use
He’d popped out to the local shop
To get us...

You cut my heart out

  A surgical procedure

Cold blooded diabetes
Try to stop her
If you can because 
Insulin shots are not fun
But they must be given
When you're dealing with

Cold blooded diabetes
Will ravage your body
 it can cause gangrene
And limb amputation
So take good care of yourself
When you deal with

Cold blooded diabetes
After you're diagnosed
Doctors will...

Brighter than a fall bonfire, but with the chill of ice, 
the Winter sun haloes the gray and barren woodland,
throbbing, almost hesitant, with a fluorescent pulse,
brazen in its unrelenting descent, it clings--
to the horizon.

How it hurt my eyes.

Thin skinned, the lids tinge orange, the white...

I gaze at slate-grey cumulus clouds 
fat with the rain that will pour out infinite love 
on our beautiful earth. The earth now waits 
in delicious, full-blooded glory; its bursting 
breast is buoyed by a soul flush and filled 
which barely contains the flesh of...

Climate of the heart, disapproving to the greens
Over its dead body is kindness a deal
Living with the mind covered in dark blanket
Dangerous and terrible is its close interactions.

Body full of energy but entirely bloodless
Loaded with the carcasses of passion and love
On self alone is its...

Lynn, the tom-boy of Herald Square, couldn't be compared to Princess
Diana, or a similar one for finesse to perfectly fit in a royal scene; 
that ordinary gal had a foolish wish of a non-blue-blooded Queen,
who rarely smiled, or said, " Thank you. " when they...

I hate to admit this and some of you may not like it either
But you know it ain't no lie no matter what we say it's just
Our nature and we can't deny how we feel deep down
Inside...our fire we cannot hide
We love to be loved...

*Cold Blooded Genocide (The Urban Wars Collection 1989)

What's the matter if a brother wants to wear red, black, or blue?
It ain't nothing but a color brother 
Chill and socialize
Hang up your guns and don't commit cold blooded genocide 
You owe it to yourself to be...

COLD BLOODED

Summer grows old
cold-blooded
tree’s scant
leafless twigs 
bend and break
creek and whither

Anaemic the suns
pathetic rise
and fall so soon
the rainplunge of
icedew sickens
to greysludge gloom


Winter takes hold
cold-blooded
labouring storms
iceflesh to bone
sallow and shrunken
we faceforce doom

Her face is like a marble statuette,
blank of expression, emotions beget.
Motionless throughout vicious verbal storms,
driven by not complying to shared norms.
Weep, weep, weep bladed tears of rusted blood,
the only nectar of a frozen bud....

Inside the womb of
death 
Secretly sits a full
blooded young sage 
He is alone in his
own kingdom 
In a posture of deep
meditation  
Administering all of
us with iron hand 
While he keeps his
eyes closed tight 
No beating of
nerves, yet, he is
 Much more vibrant
and alive.

All around...
