Best Deux Poems

Dedicated to a fine poet on soup, Lin Lane
-------------------------------------------------


I shook hands with my brother and bade him farewell
Then set off on my journey away from this hell
Mexico I’d head for and buy a small farm
Meanwhile back in town the guards raised the alarm.

A posse they...

HEARTBEATS ON PAS FE DEUX

Starstruck by your smile as I opened my eyes
Snow-white cheeks glows to peaches sweet
Running fingertip to heart shaped lips

As spring breeze kiss, I am a lady longing to grow
Fear a lost shadow because warmth flows
With your presence alone, I am soppy...

My smile is just for you
although you are so far away
your feet tiptoe around
     a shadow
          a phantom
               your fragrance
                    temptation
         ...

"dans l'heure bleue deux"



He sits at his desk
like some frozen soulless
vintage Christie’s Automaton
It’s a Grey day, he’s a 
world away as...

Two dancers in sync
We were made for each other
But you're sick with the drink
Twisting and turning
Our steps I do trace
I am locked here alone
In this stoic embrace.

Mosaic beauty upon a canvased mind -
Abstracts' thought of two;
Spiritually carving an essence defined -
Sculpture's alluring view.

Model charisma, transcendent panoramics -
Chiseled utopia, kissed;
Shapes sexing and molding, sealing ceramics -
Tracing mystiques', blissed.

Embossed lines erect, curves aligning -
Signature beings, weld;
Engraving couplet, trademark entwining -
Crowning bijou, held.

Marbled terra...

On the sands of time

How will his feet print on the sands of time?
The query he is so bothered to ask
Emirates, ere hit and run dashes his rhyme
And creates deep holes of vast pending task.

Will those little lights yet glow when he’s gone?
Or will they...

Now at an advanced crotchety age
namely three score plus one Earth
orbitz around the nearest star,
yours truly revisits
poignant episodes foisting
launching snapchatting

one after another crisis
sidelining ability to cope
pursuing life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness
whiz hard by at light speed.

Though just a kid during third industrial revolution,
I remember feeling...

Gradin foliums....

These Oratorians of self deceit

Dicentras bleeding hearts....Benighted

Trying hard to portray, something else

And then to justify, this begriming....

Through hollowed and piercing words

Projected towards others

These prima facia showings

Of pretentious light....

Often unveiled, amid their antipodal works

Derived from a desire....Beguiled

That fills this emptiness

The amiss, of their own darkened...

All our Love's vicissitudes,
Our amorous, glamorous attitudes
Two Hearts pounding, the grand resounding
With sincerest gratitude
In Perfect Passion, ardor action,
Paramours enraptured fashion
To you devoted, the walls have folded
I lose myself in your attraction...
Everything I have given you,
My Heart, my Soul, my Pas de Deux
Together forever, this sweet...

A brine muffled resonance given to the huge ancient tolling bells
Still the fearsome proud gargoyles stare but now outface just fish

Gentled by time a seas barnacle claimed pews some fifty fathoms down 
Chancel aisles and naves perceived there filled a ghostly congregation

Faithful now the drowned...

(Thy lovely lasses unwittingly 
unstintingly unexpectedly 
taught me selflessness)

Every Holiday time each year, 
a rocketing increase asper
doling out Uriah Heap ping 
largesse imposed upon each
citizen banker (coerced, forced, 

induced to buy baubles,
bibelot, curios, et cetera striving 
to outspend a competing
shopper, which faux grand 
handedness, and...

Folie à Deux 

stirred not at all
like a wilderness of dreams
or tremulous glimpses
of awakening
the world is
mighty but solemn

invoking traitors
into the ocean
of lucidity
bitterly trembling
we're motionless
rudderless
but not artless at least

and we sigh
and sigh
and sigh once more...
