sun rises dries dewy tears
heart of mist broken

cauliflower rocks
block my setting foot in sea

She's thwarted his advances for bluer skies 

cat chasing her tail
to poking at nothing there
why is this such a fail
retrieving her blank stare

he tries again, his paws
grasping thin air
his teeth into her jaw
for answers to her impair

he scowls, then paces to scare
purring none the less
as...

thwarted are
your attempts to
sway me

simply put;
I have moved
on.

whatever
your motivation

We bullies jeered and we hooted.
We were big and bad and mean.
We told everyone he tooted
We called him Navy Bean.

We made fun of his homemade clothes,
We called him crazy and unclean.
We laughed at his gigantic nose,
We were bullies, fresh and mean.

He was a child who...

The last trailing tendril filaments
of moon beams nocturnally trace
fashion an illusory gilded chariot Ark,
whence upon celestial runners,
the approach of dawn's early light
illuminated terrestrial space
which nebulous solar city flanges
revisited since time millennial
hubbub of human race
nsync with Zodiacal constellations,
which appear to shift

as planet Earth axis place
alternated in...

Mary Lou Sims was young and enterprising, like stars routing dark;
Or mauve dawn on the verge of discovery, awaiting time's remarks.

Mary Lou's best friend was Cora Mann, ever since sweet childhood;
When they'd sat in zesty school together, in the town of 'Wildwood.'

They dreamed of opening...

Witch Wilma’s accurate abracadabras no longer work
Wiley wizard had jinxed her, that mean little jerk!
She had to give up favorite kinds of bewitching
Which made her pimply purple nose go wild with twitching
Incantations and spells are now a thing of the past
Mumbo jumbo sabotage of that...

You hastily spilled a loaded jar of stained language.
Sky aglow by a rainbow, as sunsets below a ledge.
Pouring a layer of dullness into a pristine scene.  
Murky clouds have drowned the gentle sunshine.

Unscrupulous guarantees, sand-tidied venturing,
And the heart will stow away in the way...

They say that it’s smart, and ultimately wise,
for many passwords a person to devise,
to protect access and block meddling hands,
stopping those e-thieves and other brigands.

So I make up code words, a vast array,
I must use one hundred during the day,
mostly at work and definitely home,
and...

Sixteen, and in love with seventeen.
Madly, utterly, totally, completely 
I will immerse myself in him tonight
I will feed all of my desires. 
I will be more of a woman than any
woman ever was before tonight.

I have everything I need,
because I have him.
The feelings I get...

Attractive and interesting
Mannerless and disgusting
Extra judicial killer
Aren't you criminal?
You break law

Note.Gangsters are often aggressive.
Lesson.Let it go mad man and free your mind.

I am thwarted

At every turn and twist

To hit the ultimate creative,

I weave and tangle every word

In an effort to be heard,

To write the perfect poetry

To showcase my spirituality,

To hit home with a message of love and peace

I search for words to encompass me

Into a realm...

The thought of me that came into your mind,
It grew;
It blossomed;
You thwarted it;
Hopefully you are letting it wilt and die.

I do not want to ignite old flames.
I want to believe your words were true;
After all you said them,
But my mind acts as if it has...

I chase my dream
until, at last, it dies.
Then write my poems
with the blood of flies....
