I wrote a letter
With teardrops from my heart
I walk the streets of Antoinette
My mind dances with Baudelaire
Love flutters as the pigeon’s wings on statues
I see them, so close and feel the emptiness
Like the cold stone upon which their wings rest

My wine glass is empty
Then full
Then...

Dear Carolyn:
Another letter from another tour
In this place in the sand they call Helmand
This will be my last, for you can be sure
To never look back on these Afghan lands
 
          Dear James:

You get to a point where 
you can’t read them anymore
and consider yourself a grown-up.

But it wasn’t until I was fifty-two 
that I threw them away. 

How long could they hide
in a high school brief case
next to a box of sweaters 
in the attic?

So…into the...

Grace’s Council — Open...

One fine day, a little dit of a field-mouse, so tiny and meek, an avid reader of letters came to a freeze; dry-iced to her fav’rite spot at Grace’s library. As her teeny wee heart echoed her beat, she got stuck in...

beneath the veils
of darkened nights
i write to you
in invisible ink
love letters
from my heart

concealed thoughts
trace every edge 
of your existence

i arch my letters
like the curves
of backs
in shadows
on the wall

erasing 
the distance
between us
by connecting
the stars

we shine
in the brilliance
of the moon

become
the whispers
carried
in the wind

the breathless sighs
before the hush

Playing Batman and Robin is a lot different

When the Riddler is your Stepfather

And simultaneously an alcoholic and pedophile

When your secret mission is to keep him

From bringing heroin and ***********

To Gotham city

 

Your mother wanted to save you both

But Catwoman captured her

And held her six children...

My love for you
is beyond prophecy or endowment
and lay before you a love letter from the heart
beneath the moonlight's glow
where our eyes find a silent understanding
that embraces each passionate emotion
swirling and entwined in the depth of love

where our souls surrender to ardent desire
in an enchanted...

WHEN LETTERS DANCE ON  THE PAGE

  
 
“Disappear,” I said.
They denied.

Didn’t  the Casanova at the theatre
Return  my ravishing smile last night?
The burgundy magic on greys! 
 
 Ironed with botoxed shots
The dry asparagus turns glossy;
 Ready for the salad?

Midriffs declining, disappearing...

"Soul to The Letters of Love"



Dropped into a body
the vessel is a skeleton key
where waits the other being
holding 3 
in its own mind and hands
the Sanskrit Blueprint Plan
the lesson is in the wanting 
ripe red apple bleeding juicy pumping
the learning to be free
ephemeral stories look...

In the depths of her words I dwell
every inflection and punctuation
accenting upon another emotion
but it's between the lines I rest
not understanding I confess
silent letters gnawing at my brain 
maddening and driving me insane
They're out in the open
but hidden beneath
the cadence  the dialect
making me a...
