Best Exchange Poems

To Brian From Mandy
My gift I give to you is more of a character inspection
I give you permission to leave your ongoing introspection

Stop worrying your artistic self with form and stanza true
Let yourself, really go and lets find the real you.

You are educated and artistic...

Eyes of sapphire rouse my spirit.
Lull me senseless, love me blind.
Hands clasped, lips intertwined
in a passion fuelled clash 
of love and lustre.
Smile sirene concealed within
as in my arms ... 
Beauty sleeps....

The spiral staircase made her high heels sing
as quickly she descended to ground floor.
She’d pulled it off! Her briefcase held the proof.
How proud of her would be her paramour!

How carefully they’d planned the pefect heist.
He’d groomed her well in all she had to do.
She’d faked...

No longer sweehearts, but I need a gift.
For just a day can we forego our rift?
You get me a puppy dog;
I'll buy you a marble frog.
On Valentine morn, exchange will be swift.

I'll treasure the frog, hand-picked and hand made;
you'll dote on your puppy without...

A Sleepless Exchange

A restless night wears the battle scars
of dreams shattered in daylight hours
An owl echoes the objection in the darkness
as the turning of a ceiling fan counts
the seconds of hours, spin by spin

A limb scrapes the shingles 
as the wind recalls the turbulence---
howling through...

Older
wiser
richer
poorer
cleaner, cook, carer,
maid stupid,
to rock back and forth,
in the basement,
fire burning,
fetch the engine,
deck the halls and check the malls,
all on a Saturday night,
fight night,
one last chance,
true romance,
and every, dirty, secret,
deleted erased and buried,
gripped in teeth,
the lies,
the lullabies,
the monkeyed eyes,
pulverise
the butter flies.

You have made me as I am,
Broken and irreparable, tossed aside
In the darkest place imaginable
I am now huddled,
Broken and Ravaged,
How can I recover?
When you insist on tearing open my wounds,
At the first sign of a scar.
This is what you have condemned me to,
This darkness, betrayal,
I...

Her voice, her tone bewitched 

Like every staircase, escalator...

ever travelled all stopping 
at her door...

Her voice mail was a taxi fare away...

Exchanges carried by fearless inhibition...

Like a storm without direction...

All weathers applaud her...

This reflection of her voice...

Mirrored by distant yet doubtless tone...

This tone, this honesty,...

Winter chills my bones
But you warm me to the core
Hold me tightly then
Burn me; fire me up tonight
As fire emits love 
You are the source of the flame
For eternity
You’ll be the fire in my heart
And I’ll be the fire in yours...

These Bulls and bears like pets,
Loved by many,
Touching hearts,
Living in minds,
Nations to nations,
Down towns,
At homes,
In rooms,
Also in safes,
In wallets,
Even inside files,
Tied with no belts,no ropes but ribbons,
Bulls and bears at the stock exchange...

love embraces into my arm and sinks in while hate flows into the air, passing evil onto its next victim...

Many of us are confused as to value, the convenience of money
O not long ago, GOLD was the real money, today "feelings" hold sway
No paper is wealth, except if it allows for BARTER (Covid-19 has a say!)
Every freshman ought to know: money are notes (promissory)
Your...
