Raven's BonesWaterlilies brighten black
ripples, reeds, and rocks below.
An even flow, bane and blight
recedes to bare raven’s bones.
A grave of darkness blanches
In austere light on bloodless
banks, but blue eyes cannot flood
its once watery coffin.
Dew on the waterlilies
reflect these absurdities -
the woeful bones glistening
alone near floral beauty.

Defined By X, Y, Not ZI won’t say I’ve always known
but always, something was wrong
defined by a chromosome
defined by what they put on
to be “me” is alien
that’s if they let “me” be me
they say I’m not who I am
they tell me what to believe
imagine not knowing “you”?
no clothes, these are...

Show the Welsh pride, lovely boy!
Sing aloud your heart and joy!
I met a Bard of ancient time
who sang to me in mystic rhyme
as we climbed the mountain road.
He told me tales from long ago
of hidden dragons far...

I met a girl in Guayaquil it was night
We swam in the Pacific, the strand
Was white and had upturned boats
I wanted to give her something, but
Had nothing of importance, gave her
A bottle of after shave lotion
She gave me her address which...

Luscious Lips Amanda Sullivan 15th July 2012Smiley full lips,
silky smooth,
luscious and glistening,

succulent and irresistable,
sweet, sexy and heavenly,

Mine scatters like dust, dissolves
His lust for my mind absolves
Allows this love to evolve....

The Young FarmerHe plows his harrowed fields—visions grand!
Lushly, planned, large yeilds;
Bugs frantically seeking shields
As farmers plant the hayfields.

Legends of Twenty-SevenJimi's groovy guitar leaps
Psychedelic anthem beats
Certainly a broader reach
Than what banal mainstreams seek
Janis sang in passion rough
Too much for the upper crust
Voice of insistence and rush
Love songs with a gritty touch
Jim's strange Doors opened destined
Music of scant time's lessons
Fallen stars burn in legend
Breathless at twenty-seven
