Dawning Desires - Repost
~

Whispering apricot beams shine upon frilly sheers,
lazy shadows dance in daffodil dawn colors,
pirouettes of pleasured moments,
silently flowing on smooth brush stroke walls

You breathe, softly, the sweetest sonnet,
rhythmically exhaling beneath satin sheets
symphonic…bringing a grin to the sunrise,
blushing clouds hide behind a bashful horizon

Placing a gentle kiss...

The Price of Oil, Part I
The nurse ordered her to push, push, push
in her best proper voice 
and linen balled in red fists knotted
and sweat falls from red face knotted 
while Billy, head first, tugged and yanked by nurse's proper hands, 
emerges, gently laid upon the blood soaked sand 
motionless...

Gum In a N.Y Subway
Retired sweetness paints
a tiled mosaic of
unpredictable patterns.

Black, brown shapes
spatter the 
grey concrete of 
an underground kingdom.

The fresh ones burn
pink and seafoam 
green against
this steely blue 
and yellow lined world.

The stickiness clings
onto shining 
out of spectrum, 
before becoming
another dot
in dark masses....

"All the Pretty Words"



All the pretty words
blooming like summer jonquils
fade from the velvet fresh green tongues
and rich fecund tussled beds 
of poets and minstrels
strumming hearts with 
fingers that waltz over keys
plucking tangos from dreams of
sensitive fates who thought 
all their doors locked
Shadow of ink smudged...

Deep River
The color of the river is navy blue
The rivers current motion is so wavy
The wavy river sinks my feet in deeply
My feet which touch the sand gently
Swimming outwards towards the river is risky
Swimming outwards towards the river I see a fishy
The fishies are swimming around...

The Final Cause
By the time the fever set in,
The leaves had already turned,
Turned that is, into the colors,
Already there beforehand.

—

The bursting verdant stickiness,
Of nipple spring,
June’s coy leafy gaze,
The muscular lust of summer grazing,
When Burgundy picnics,
Turn white, thick and milky firm,
The multiples upon multiples, 
Of thunderous green forest...

I Should Have Let It Go
I should have let it go,
   theunkind words they spoke
the phrases unjustly, hurtfully said
   but you know me...
My mind thinks and mulls the words
   over and over again.
They churn like whipped shakes and malts
   until they begin...

Humidity
Humidity’s validity
Is limited to plants
‘Cause people would avoid it
If they only had the chance.

For mugginess, like bugginess,
Does nothing but annoy.
It’s not the type of weather
That I ever could enjoy.

The ickiness of stickiness
Just brings me to my knees.
I’m sure I’m not the only one
Who’d much prefer...

When First These White Walls Were New and Porcelaneously Gleaming
Spartan are the white walls were once hung draperies
And things papered, paneled, plastered...
Yet, 'tis so no more. 
Now all is white and wan and sickly, 
And the ghostly shadows of the accoutrements and impedimenta that once 
Gaily festooned this quartet of walls, they are all...

Alternate Reality
The lonely evening falls again
The night is fast becoming my favourite friend
Where the moon it shimmers all over your skin
Let out the bad vibes
Invite the freedom in
Ride we must our dreams through the night
The hazy traffic stickiness fading
Leading traces of forgotten memories
Blank as these sheets...

Well, here we are in the Araneta Coliseum

To witness two modern boxing Gladiators
Their prowess, stature, about to be seen

Stepping into the ring, Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali
