Best Laced Poems

Law, English, business, and so on—
    alas, are tiresome!
All the professors here go on 
    with a prime axiom. 

A moldy, college campus where 
    knowledge and books abound,
freshmen and co-eds are clueless

Glistening diamonds sparkle 
within a thousand star lights 
wrapped into one holding the highest space 

Oceans of the night you flicker bewitching charms 
upon the crest of each wave under the moonlight 
your royal gaze mesmerizes

Reflections carried under intoxicating incandescent lights
transfixed adoration crystallized inside your...

cherished clover green
coronet topped purple plume
search out the four-leafed sprite

eye to lawn outspread
taste of bee sweet blossom red
leprechauns key find

pressed between pages
still lucks’ keepsake enclosed
more sought than the rose...

Shadows romance

Through fine-laced mantle

Of whirlpool’s river dance,

And a kiss gushes high

Beneath froth of clouds

Where stars advance

This is a dangerous man. Seduction‘s tendrils lace
thumbs at collarbone, his digits wind round behind.
Manicured, long, clean…fingers, made for face tracery,
pulling back shoulders and raising crest-capped peaks.

Thumbs at collarbone, his digits wind round behind.
Soft, full, Latin lips nibble the pulse racing at neck,
pulling back shoulders...

Sitting alone 
in a field laced with nevers
that sunlight avoids
as stars fade from view

picking a clover
of unlucky petals
found on the edge 
of a soft summer hue

Seeing a path
leading up to tomorrow
winding its way
past the frown on my face

different scenes
for a mind that is empty
in outlines...

A pilgrim's shoes are laced with faith
    if soled with doubt, nails fall out

  The journey requires not stick, but staff

Her tummy swelled and went back in.
She dreamt of making children with him.
She dreamt, she'd dream, in white and lace,
of making their home a family place.
He never knew, she'd ever cared,
of who he was or what he'd heard.
He only knew he had his place,
and every...

Fingertips lacing
Along the valley tracing
Our skies rolling
Beads of sweat as one forming
Succulent river flowing...

They fatten up the grazing cattle,
roughly milking the goats and cows
Shoveling the pigs their slop,
throwing chicken feed to the hens walking about
They do the grunt labor,
always with their mind on the feast
Puffing up people’s chest breast pride;
making them feel real special like,
like they’re Mary’s little...

I
Know
Reason
We're all
Spend'n more money
Than we can afford, 5's, 10's, on
Are contaminated with cocaine from drug deals done
Cocaine penetrates our skin innering our inner being, we are all high -cocaine


(I heard on a news cast this morning that cocaine laced money from drug deals and people...

owl is perched up high
the dark of night radiates its beauty
though it came close to getting killed on my windshield
i relish the owl's symbolism of nature

two young deer feed on grass
the brightness of the high beams spook the two does
one of them rams the back...

Now Autumn
————————-

I can see beyond 
the open ivory curtains,
the trees being 
    blessed, dressed
in the laced edges
of this day’s dawn:
a beauty-gift,
a heaven-graced lift,
a scene with a slight 
magic mist
as if stars were 
still flaring in sight
as in the mid-night,
with their tails adorning...
