My LibraryMy simple library contains no fancy morocco-bound tomes,
Like those found in majestic castles and rich folks' homes.
But the books on its shelves that I truly do treasure.
Over a life-time have provided so much reading pleasure!
There's no greater gratification, ensconced in my favorite chair,
Than reading a...

Bundle of JoySharp piercing pains
rendered me breathless
I double over,
crouching low like a panther.
Fire, searing fiery fire
leaped at my sides,
licking my backside.
I groan and writhe,
growl and curse!
only the ticking clock
dares to surpass my loud moans.
Sweat trickles down my backside,
flowing down, forming rivulets as
they meet and scamper downwards.
Another...

So Double Minded
You love to double dare,
double down
Raise the stakes and double the bet
You love to double dip,
double back
Lower the cage and shark bite thru the double mesh net
The risk of getting caught
is part of doing the crime
But you don’t care about doing the time
You love to...

Mr. Officer your job is hard I know,
Policing men and women as they travel to and fro,
You have a thankless duty sure it’s true,
For just as you hate crime many criminals hate you,
But this I need to grasp good sir this I need to...

I See YouI see you
Double over
Cripple to the ground
Who's laughing now
Don't pretend you
Know me
For your the hollow
Whisper in my ear
That whispers of
Nation creations
As if its all your fun
You pull out your weapons
you pull out your guns'
And dance with joy
And away you...

I Saw the Trees LaughingI SAW THE TREES LAUGHING
I saw the trees laughing at the wind
as it passed by.
They were whispering jokes to each other,
I’m almost sure.
Their arms started flailing as the jolly rumble
began in the trunk;
A timber tickle sent through a barky throat
that shivered
Leading to the double-over, barrel-rolling
laughter.
Tell...

Stardust on Autumn Leavespale yellow shards of brittle glass
shatter under my feet
as I stroll along this grey patchwork of concrete
and if the world stutters precarious on its spurious axis,
I pay it no mind
the ice of my pupils melts into inky lashes
that bleed cold down my face
and in...

A Different Kind of CupidHe's always up there
On the crescent moon
Sleeping and snoring loudly
Oh, this "Cupid" couldn't be more different
He's always too groggy from sleep
To ever shoot his arrow straight
Ask his unfortunate victims
Those still alive anyway
All of them, injured... still lovelorn
Some are still...

Light Verse
Oh Lord Grant Me Just One More DayFist smacks chest, I double over.
Pulls my hair, wrenching me up once more.
Imprints his thumbs and fingers bones
Into my chin and cheeks,
Bruising - he crushes the virgin skin.
Presses his booze stinking breath against my face;
He bellows abuse and filth riled language toward me,
Fetch me...

The Turn of an Unfriendly CardTurn of An Unfriendly Card
(Tarot 3 of Swords)
I cannot empathize with a shattered heart.
That image of a fragile, breakable baby pink orb
Is insulting to how I feel.
The turn of an unfriendly card depicts three swords
thrust into a still beating heart
I feel the sliver blade of...

Showing All the Signs of Being NeanderthalsI see them most days now in the street,
Neanderthal look-a-likes,
Who only grunt when I give them a hearty good day,
Bent double over their phone,
Gripping it like a prize bone
Bearing a sharp resemblance to prehistoric man,
Who could not yet stand upright,
Showing no signs of sociability...

You me she and sheyou, me, she and she
love is us, the four of us,
you, me, she and she.
it is the way we bust out
in spontaneous dance moves
in the middle of our living room
when our fam-fave beat comes on
and we turn the stereo way up too loud
and you do...

The Girls of SummerLike a burst of confetti
They erupt into the corner store.
Tanned, long legged,
Laughing and pushing each other.
They toss their sun-bleached hair
And glance around to see
If people are watching.
Beach outfits – bikinis
Barely hidden under short
Skimpy coverups.
Sandals, high platform heels,
Gold or red or raffia
With sparkly decorations.
They find...
