rowing boat, golden pebbles in shallow water

...My baby has bi-lateral bonbons.
She modulates her rhythm side to side.
She’s a twenty-mule team moving violation,
Her motives pure as borax, her methods bona fide.   
She stood naked in a shell a...

Premium MemberAlbert Blighs Magic Boathouse

... This is the story of Albert Bligh,
who painted a boathouse upon the sky.
Albert was as bored, as bored could be;
he’d grown up in a house high in a tree.

Albert had a bigger dream, ...

I find it scary and a tad mundane,
But last time I flew,
I sat next to a lady I slightly knew,

The Birds of Drancy

...Little birds spill onto the gravel
Chirping with disoriented confusion.
A spindly flock warbling
“Mère! Mère!”
Through cracked lips and bony beaks.
Hawks circle indifferently

something strong 

he'd tell me about Dylan T 
the boathouse 
the scenery

...Sunday Fishing 
In a tranquil inlet a boathouse pained red, a wooden pier 
with steps and a rowboat, tied to the pier. The sea is clear 
as spring water off a mountain fount, but at the bottom

...My head splintered with silent thought

As I pondered over the crimson memories of you

Lifeless you lay

They must have brought it by mule.
And while he's dazzling your eyes.
He's quickly saying his goodbyes.   Smirkedey Smirk. What a jerk!

He's spotted mermai...

A Whore In Central Park

...One night in Central Park
Was a love that I embarked.
Of the moments I've endured,
I've never been so sure
Of what may compare to that boathouse,
'Cause when I looked into her eyes,
I saw a fai...

Going Home

...The rain appeared, arctic 
Spattered the duck board 
As angry pellets flinched 
And recoiled 

Boathouse dank, bleak 
Galley proofing transpire 
Moist and humid 
With sense of Frangelico
