Best Revs Poems

Ethereal Bliss

Your long pretty limbs and shapely trunk defy
Rings, occult within, unseen by the naked eye.
Rooted as saplings we've grown tall, you and I.
Bending in strong winds in chaos we try
To feel a calming peace from our sunset sky.

Like my car's engine, the gasoline you...

Silence is such an attractive voice
listening to nothing but silence speak
there in that space all alone
your hearing revs up not all weak

I love to go on a walk alone
especially among nature, hear the sounds
God sometimes uses His created birds
twirping and humming all around

Sometimes I listen...

Pointing back

From where I sit,
this crowded street of frowning faces and lying eyes
meander past the mom and pop facades with kids in tow…
tethered by their wants
and constant whining

now glaring at me as if,  
I am the problem

I wave them off in my best oceanic...

My memory is like an ill-tempered old car
that refuses to start
on cold, miserable mornings...
or sometimes stutters
and shudders to life
in fits and starts with rattling parts

Names and faces of those behind me
shrouded and clouded in thick exhaust fumes
'til memory resumes and smoke starts to clear
...oh, what...

Boy those wheeler dealers sure work hard
just look at Ed slaving away sorting things.
First he sorts out the electrics and switches
then he turns his attention to the mechanics.

Strips out the callipers and replaces them
a new exhaust is also on the cards.
Back breaking work as he...

Free wheeling down the hill
chuck-a-bang out of fuel
referring quickly to my map
a gas pump is what I need.

Right at the bottom of the hill
appears a grand and wacky 
garage flying a flag and a sign
fill up here folks your last chance.

Barely making it I pull...

Abundant Autumn


Cooling air with colouring redder skies
Fooling landscapes upon marram lies
Fuelling frosted with dewed sunrise
Ruling leaves falling from revver highs

Deciduous trees succus leaving nectars
Mellifluous winds creating rotor sectors
Ambiguous pigments in sexes of hectares
Conspicuous colours within noon reflectors

Brown yellow pop orange magenta & blue
Countdown waiting Hallows...

Some dude from
     vinyl city revs engine
     of his dirt bike to the max
     blasting the air
testosterone roars throughout
     his every bone and fiber
     broadcasting...

SHE LOVES NASCAR 
           

She loves NASCAR. 
I prefer Gaugin or Renoir 
but she loves NASCAR.

It's a southern fascination 
as Dixie as Faulkner 
or sweet potato pie.

I love NASCAR, 
She squeals like tires burning, 
out...

I can barely hear the sound of the engine of my favourite car
Through all that traffic, the cheerful laughter coming from the bar
I overhear parts of conversations on footsteps of passersby
The soles of their shoes bid my dying soul goodbye

I read an article about a...

Our son CJ celebrated his 40th birthday,
Immediate family invited to Ramsgate
In Natal, to celebrate this day in a special way,
A guest house was rented by our son,
Which once again became our fate!
By the sea, what a wonderful view to see,
We arrived last Monday, and the...

See the black cat run, jump, slink away, a shadow within shadows and a life force of mystery. A predator in composite, a compact killer, a butcher for life, the apex of its design, all built of little fur and bones, razors, a hunter in...

OODLES OF KITTENS

our little nest
a bed and bathroom
a place where we’d shower and dress
and i pregnant oh my and yes

and those kittens my groom has spied
feeling compassion inside
as he revs up to play the dad

he pours a bowl of milk
for his furry friends
on this date...

When we start off
one rarely realizes
all the true scientific
downstream consequences
of our original acts

When we hear the key
click in the car's ignition
we know it revs up
the entirety of the
auto industry complex

When we go out 
to the grocery and
we pick up dozens
of pretty plastic packages
this vaults the...

erotic red!

colored
partially unclad
barely a reveal

a pole dancer
standing provocatively 

exposes the mold
dances the wall
on the lap of the paint 
peeled raw to the grain

she tugs at your groin
rattles your pallet
revs the engine of your pristine thoughts
shoves your brain into the ground

erotic read!...
