Best Removable Poems

The black and orange dust
comes off on my fingers
revealing the fragile mesh
so easily crushed
therefore brave

I was troubled
the color was so loose
so removable to my hand
but even more at the
transparency beneath

Oh, don't go catching butterflies
until you are prepared to see
the underpinning delicate and clear
where there is...

EYE SHADOW
-----------------
WOW!!!! 
I love the color and how
It accentuates the tone of your skin
Truly, it brings out the brilliance
Beaming bright from your face
As I gradually gaze
I lose myself in a daze
Simply amazed at the light
Leaping deep in my eyes

I'm flaring in flames with delight
From viewing...

Bright, orange, white, flicker.....
Two black eyes, one dark mouth viewed,
I'm the flame inside

They trim the flesh out
Stubby children's hands; entrails
I'm the flame inside

My face-like windows
My removable roof-top
I'm the flame inside...

THE GOOD OLD DAYS – JOURNAL XVI

Looking back from this point
I’d have to make a division
Between adults and children
For adults the many tasks were more

The thirties were the ultra-sparse of times –
Men out seeking work, women with back
       ...

Blue-green ocean tipped with whitecaps rolling toward the shore
Plane is humming with the pilot talking about life and your ride is there parked on the hill for easy starting next to the palm oil trees and oxen plowing the field with an old...

A miniscule minotaur is a mini mayhem by the way. In a catacomb place ones feet in a small bowl then look in the mirror and sing to the shaft of light beaming down from the ceiling pin. The pin was placed a long time...

words,
like wind,
sweep away thoughts,
of dark cyclones twisting,
truth, friction, half-lies and neither,
informing or deceit, inane and blowing,
mouths moving on removable friends,
smiles on plastic faces,
syrup or pap,
save us!
no,
not now,
maybe not ever,
this bed we made,
then wish not to sleep,
in piles of lies, cheap copies,
of honor bright, a truth,
and...

Believe me divine beauty
I'll fulfill to you my duty
I swear to you i'll love you
Hold, laugh, play, cry, and smile with you

You want to change your looks
Wishing you had different colored eyes
But to me you're the definition of gorgeous
No other girls on my mind

Let me...

Hearts broken, bleeding unkindly deeds
Gothic flighty missions behind enemies  
Sand storms ragging beneath sandcastles’
In the sand, star lighted passage rumors a merge
Impossible measures undisclosed 
Ventures, seductions lustful curses

Empowered trustees guided missiles
Heavens educed powers, misplaced by earth
Under fire enhancement drooling mode
Entombed rivers blinding earth, chanted...

Birth house, made of stone;
A shelter we called home.

Birth house, easily removable
and no less destructible.

Birth house, limited, temporal;
To be lived in, not lived for.

In the black and white days of the 1950’s schools made youngsters learn and learn well or else,
Uniforms were as important with short trousers and knee length grey socks with elastic garters,
Garters would get so tight they left impressions on legs that took ages to...

even angels are silent
in this lonely room
where i cannot sit
though chairs dangle
around me
so i perch
as lyrics run roughshod
through my head
and my face to the world
is right behind
my eyes
waiting to take its place
should anyone walk
through that door
sickness grows
insidious by nature
and tonight i lose
the ability to see
through...

What is love?

It isn't something you make,
Nor is it something you take.

Is it an expression,
Or another word for obsession?
Maybe a feeling of progression,
Or removal of depression?

What is love?

Something we cannot define,
Something in our hearts that shine.
But a feeling possible so divine,
Is perhaps our one and...

Self destructive wickedness arrested, convicted, and gaoled...

with kidnapping little boy 
ordered to suffer
life sentence without parole.

The deadly scourge of  
one obsessive/compulsive disorder
nearly left me starving to death.
