"Dragonfly, 10 Floors Up"

I saw a dragonfly today
hovered outside my window
I was a ghost floating 10 floors up

it saw me,
we flew away

Squeaky Clean Floors of Teak
All clean and shiny is my teak
When they step on my 
Glossy black my heart leaps
Joyous smiles deep down my timbers leak
You can see your face and physique
When you look at me
Don’t walk on me with your dirty feet
Shhh….. Whisper when...

Gotta tell ya bout this fellow named Anthony
Was relaxing on his twentieth floor balcony
A scantily clad sweetie
Cross the way said, “want a freebie?”
Poor Anthony fell twenty floors to his finality

Trapped between two floors, maybe heaven and hell,
were souls that screamed through elevator doors.
Our feet in blood, we asked who was the devil
among us. Strangers died and out of fear

    were souls that screamed through elevator doors.
    I touched...

I live in the fall, 
the dying nation between two worlds.
I am barefoot, 
strapped to a catapult. 
I toil where the dark storms brew.
I see you there,
like the armrest between the discomfort, 
and the sadness. 
And I see you standing staunchly, 
as if the answers...

The emotions that bubble up,
Fizzing from your finger tips,
staining the already worn carpet
as it licks its lips across the floor.
 
Passion doesn’t spit both ways.
 
Would it feel like dancing?
Eyes holding onto another
with hands discovering
new found love on the small of a back.
 
Or perhaps...

i sit as this desk and things dont seem like such a mess
i loosen some chains for personal gains
trying to see things so i can free my soul
trying to stay strong for i know this is where i belong
knocking on my burden doors
walking on these...

you’re freezing feet and most admired
drizzling cityscape so tired
of boring through the screen
the saddest such machine
unwired

with eyes as dead as cellar doors
and sunken blue to ocean floors
why won't you sing along
this cemetery song
is yours

what ancient ground in time recovers
brittle hearts of teenage lovers
and tried without...

Squeaky Floors

It’s way past your bedtime,
You’re still wide awake.
How many more books,
Is it gonna take?
Little boys at this time of night,
Should be fast asleep.
Lay down and close your eyes,
Let me not hear a peep.
You need your rest,
To grow big and strong.
It’s important,
I would never steer...

Equal on both indebted was the house,
There was but one small difference:
They that had always nourished grouse—
And whose drive always tried to hop,
Floors boasted on truth from roof top,
Discreet foundation kept silence.

The Creators brush in the stream of Ocean waves
Painting with feeling and shading with inner thought 
Inventing a life a moment of escape
Swimming towards an open gate 
A trigger with a conscience 
A finger on a dime in somebody's tore pocket 
What is saved at...

OCEAN FLOORS  

The sunset, the ocean floors that never gets to see the beauty of the sun light. The crashing of the ocean floors, boats of wars, treasures, treasures that lies on the ocean floors. Places, places from long ago, the things of ancient...

The books, two floors high,
levitating toward my upper limbs.
Not costly. Worth every penny.
Spread out by the tablefuls.
Grateful for this claustrophobic,
pyrophobic atmosphere.
Pages fingered, on bindings linger -
what’s the subject…who’s the author?
Snatch up before the next in line. Don’t
get left behind. At the end of the line...

Indeed, fear of the Number “13” does have a real and
a certain palpable feel and meaning for people who
harbor this particular phobia and carry it with them in

I skiddle down the hardwood hall;

Scratching, sliding, bump and fall.


                         Your floors???!!!...
