Fatal Attraction
FATAL ATTRACTION
-------------------------
His lucent light illumines her eyes
His face outshines the sun
His ethereal beauty unveils the skies
Her vibrant vision swiftly succumbs

Her silenced tongue, his intimate touch
His intangible hands sliding/slithering
Spiraling down with a gentle glide
Her body cold and shivering 

His fiery eyes ignite a flame
Her attention he...

Don Quixote Golf East
On one night, 
is it because of a bewitched full moon?
while driving my rusty shaking junk car
I became Don Quixote de la Mancha 
mounted on Rozinante holding a lance under the arm aslant,
and with a full gallop, dashing into the battle field, through the street...

An Apology
And, I owe myself an apology...

For not believing in myself,

For not trusting myself,

For the times that I didn't seek the best,

But just accepted what was left,

For the the times that I allowed 

SOMEONE ELSE'S opinion,

To create a warped version of Danita Michelle.

For those rare times...

Premium Member On the River's Edge
Writing is a river,
The headwaters
Springing from the well,
Bubbling up and out
Free-flowing
Falling and frothing white in the flux of development.
 
Writing is a river, 
Tempered by the banks of time and distance, yet
Moving steadily, flowing in a forward restless direction
Bending and bowing
Coursing around or through obstacles
Detouring...

Affection Antedotes
Resistance is futile
I know this well, even as
self wrought fortifications fall
by way of your velvet touch,
disarming every suspicious sensibility.

That recoiled voice within
reminds 
to bristle at your touch
distrust this sweet advancement
coldly
despise the caress you brandish
Gently you shush this voice
with outstreched silken fingertip
to pursed up cursing lips

Replacing...

Premium Member Pop Art
This painter decides on a photo of a girl or boy, their face or body, to be distant or intimate, a photo with an idea.

This idea decides on a size of the canvass to be square or rectangle, modest or grand, a canvass with intent.

Survival
My life has been a neverending uphill battle
My travels have taken me far and wide
Its bends and dips drags me thru mud.
Many a night i have shivered and cried

A survivalist that meets every demand
I stumble through life completely aware
Shying away from people out to do...

I'M Ready
I’m ready


“Walking down this rocky road”

Pebbles stare like boulders
Detouring my thoughts
Blocking motions to feel
Curbed by jagged ridges breathing

“Wondering where my life is leading”

Checking the map for intersections
Wanting to find some sense of truth
Written on an overpass
In graffiti spray paint dreams 

“Rolling on to the bitter...

D (Give It a Chance)
Distant and Dangerous
Devastating all things in it's path
Detouring the hope of those lost in themselves
Delightful in it's utter Destruction
Deployed by this Degenerate general
Diplomacy can never work
Deeds are never enough
Deleted thoughts have come home to roost
Developing their young in your spiritual carcass
Devious in it's Demeanor
Daunting and...

Premium Member What We Can Do
What does consciousness do?
Integrates here and disintegrates now
space as in/exforming time,
ego as constrained eco-logical DNA enraptured
mutual health relationships.

What does time do?
Perceptions bilaterally integrate
our grateful identity
with our multicultural futures
and disintegrates our fear and anger
mistrusting monocultural detouring pasts
And forgives offenses against restoring health
And pardons lost opportunities for...

Don Diddy's Deeds
DON DIDDY'S DEEDS
 
Diddy, the daring, dashing dude,
Dabbled in dalliances, oh so crude.
Darting through dreams, dollars, and deucing.
Dangling diamonds & jewels, with his schuffel dancing.4

Diddy dabbled, dashingly with deals & diamonds,
Emotionally locking Cassie, his victims in bounds.
Danced with danger, without any care,
Dazzling in debauchery, beyond...

Premium Member The A to Z of You and Me
Always it's you
Beneath my skin
Catching my breath
Detouring my mind
Even when I try to
Fight impulses I still
Give in to you
Happily because
I love you and not
Just your sexy smile
Keeps me entranced
Lord no! There's much
More about you!
Nonstop wit and
Overflowing charm
Power wielded over me
Quickly disarming 
Really any and all
Sense...
