A painless realm daunting hidden charm
Neutrons and Adams, the beginning
Above the heavens, gods even sinning

Crimes of the universe
Negatives and positives

In glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon...

The tip of your nose brushes
The back of my neck
My skin awakens

I have been calling you
Calling you back into...

how they suffer
poverty seeds disease 
like a puddle breeds mosquitoes -

Emanating celestial warmth so bright.

Softly ever so Softly

Nemesis

Her sword

And lives of crime animate spasmodically
As Gene Pitney croons “A Town Without Pity”

Amassed
Amassed bulging clouds 
Dashing enmity fusion, 
generously hovering
In jellylike kneaded layaway 
Mysterious noir over
Prairies quietly resting
Suddenly trapped under
Vicious wind’s X rated
Yelling zeal.

Slowly flows
Into the next day
And goes on repeat

The sultry taste, the warm goodness 
Saturating my cunning senses:
 
Within the wee hours...

Rose petals scattered on the floor
Rays of rainbow
Shining in the air of noir
Bouquets of pure white
On the glass table
Set with the flutes of bubbly
Champagne pink

Once transmitted
The red thread

Only stronger
A dayad
Growing stronger
When it already is
When we face
