Best Suite Poems

The series "Despicable Me," 
			we've flocked to theaters to see.
			Wee minions--cute creatures--
			and bad guys each features.
			To all we respond with great glee.

			I never dreamed five years ago
			that I would soon dash to and fro
			in search of these minions--
			in children's opinions,
			all treasures. How well I now...

Savory watermelon, sour apple
My taste buds arouse at the thought
Of the unimaginable experience to come
The sweetest sensation to conquer my mouth
I can't wait to open the wrapper

Sweets in the suite for me

The lobby was fully of these tiny eats
A lady even offered one to me
A...

Oh Sweet Seasons,

 Bring back the summers
          of love in the sand
 of champagne moons

"beautiful waters"

beautiful waters
live along such open space
gifting treasured pearls
*    *    *    *
whether high or low
tides roll in whispering sounds
mesmerizing guests
*    *    *    *
seagulls fly above
guarding golden sands...

Candle of Ishtar glints their eyes to taste
where fireplace burns hushed tones, a smoky glide
and dew anoints waxed mouths, sighs collide,
like unspoken quakes, uttered not in haste.
Lay bare night’s scent, unrelenting, unchaste
peeled garment floats on a lounge of mantle;
there, burst of seeds lodge in her...

From an abyss of the darkness, I hear incantation 
It slowly ascends, sun awakening canyons,
Windward it heralds those sleeping, to wonder....
with a visual score, that deepens with thunder,
sweeping me under, to lighten the soul


-at first tint of light, my own shadow leans over, to...

Material life in the Material World:

Duality in every direction:
As Heaven above is,
So, the earth below:

With every delicate, red, mysterious rose,
A proverbial, wounding thorn ...

Suburban splendor:

A life of "quiet desperation";
Holy apparition, manifestation,
Suburban confession:

One fine, fine house;
Five exquisite rooms inside;
But not one friend 
In any one of...

I quiver from bliss
with this prelude to my joy
sweet upon my lips. . . 
the icing that I licked from
the top of my Cinnabon.

The day of his birthday, and I tried to make
a yummy dessert that would be a surprise.
I sweetened cream cheese for the...

With that rare gift of gab for deceiving,
wooing, unsuspecting victims of his,
a shrewd, forked tongued charmer he truly is.


He hoodwinks the naive into giving
hard-earned money as gift or donation
to this sect or that denomination

for a VIP banquet reservation
or some kind of lay-away plan seven

Concept of sameness
within family nuance...
blood line prevalent.

When The link is blood
the brain a mind of its own...

Honour each other
respect is earned not a gift...

Apricot nectar, I licked from her lips,
suckled the dew like honey
from melon ripe breast
and in time did savor
the heady heavenly flavor
of passion's fruit in all the rest
and night birds
beyond the window

...sang a new song....

"I'm not gonna sleep on no couch!
I ain't gonna do it.
The master suite is called that for a reason.
It's the room for the master of the house!
It's his place... where he can go to rest.
I told my wife, 'The queen might be on edge 
Of...

i am the gray stone
waiting in empty deserts
for blooming roses...
patience grows inside of me
as i search the skies old paths...

i am the dew drop
vanishing in the sun's love
into nothingness...
i was granted safe passage
into the river of life...

i am the wild flame
burning in the night's darkness
