Best Spilled Poems

His bleeding heart
Was flustered from that torn parchment
In their leeching chapter

Pushed aside
As if “friendship” was aggression’s bull
Running through crowded cemeteries
Under quartered, sapphire moon

He sipped pitied shots of century-old whiskey
With a dusty glass of pomegranate w(h)ine

“Why isn’t she coming back to me?”
“My heart will make empty...

The coffee spilled as she went out the door
Now brown stains 'pon the carpet on the floor
It saturated her dictionary
Her poetry notebook~both necessary
A little mess that needs to be cleaned now
What would happen if today out she did bow
Entered into another worldly realm
As she so...

I was born in a life unlike yours;
We have struggled in all the years.
We knocked endlessly but all the doors
Have been closed 'coz of the numerous wars.

I could never forget all the cries,
Tears streaming from everyone's eyes
As their loved one dies;
One by one came in...

Conglomeration of fragmented oil
Angry spirits burst forth
grotesque faces as on an 
oil painting exploding all hopes

The angry beasts of yesteryears
Carelessness cease to care for 
the incredible burden as 
hopes fade away and life dies

Anger seeps into the millenium
crawl spaces of yesteryear and 
holes of tomorrow...

This isn't the time to run away

Nor is it the time to hide

they say "use your whole heart

and take a dive"

 

I forgot the past  while I  lay in your arms

you partially held me

became my blanket for the meantime

I swam in you and...

Our only source of water,
the spring lay to the west,
downhill from the house.

Its flow gurgled up
to form a creek which snaked
through a field toward the barn.

Cold spring water firmed butter,
and chilled the milk,
 kept dry in tin buckets,
dropped underwater daily.

Our old sow would root, nose
under...

I said, “You’re the cream of the crop!”
You called me your buttercup.
Emotions churned.
I milked the situation for all its worth,
As my dreams sat splendid before me.
Then, your life spilled out into the world,
And I became unwanted;
A container of spoiled passion
And curdled desires.
You dashed my hopes,
Leaving...

Summer’s Spilled Milk
City dwellers pumped;
Oil effused into ocean,
Ocean creatures died....

Can't see my mug
Put bum cream on my face
Thought I saw you drinking white wine
Too late to go to bed
Jumbled thoughts get you that way
On a long day
When the brain is drained
And the night is cold
Spilled the Jaegermeister 
On the new carpet
The corners of my...

I spilled my heart to you, but you don't listen. 
When you don't say I love you back, my eyes start to glisten...
When  I don't get a response for days, it makes me think that you want to go separate ways. 
When you lie to me saying...

It was late afternoon on the 27th of June.
I was sitting on my porch, just whistling a tune.
Having just returned from a European tour;
My bride being tired sat in her chair and snored.
I was feeling just a wee bit bored,
So headed to Fred’s for evening...

Sexy Dr. du Toit
was a man I loved to avoid
I caught the fever, he had the reliever
instead of giving me the injection, it gushed in his direction…







*The doctor was suppose 
to give me an injection on my butt,
but most of it ended up on his...

If you’ve ever sat in a dimly lit restaurant
with garlands wrapped around
its egg-shell glossy moldings
listening to the faint sound of wine glasses clinking,
amongst the pitter-patter of an unfamiliar crowd
in a late December night,
you know the feeling 
It’s like a cross between Deja-vu and an epiphany

He asked me, “So what are you into now?”
While I was already envisioning scripts to piece
Inside my head, 
With the silence in between his lips
Sketched like woven thread 
My oh my, how he had no idea 
That clairvoyance is my best friend 
I saw right...
