a lingual place of wild mango magic behind caliente lips
where a supple sensualist lies in seductive ambush—
rum on the rocks spices the red bed of you...

On the run

...*On The Run* 


Hunted by my past, trailed by my shadow,
Intoxicated by elixir of youth,
I climb the ìrókò beyond the leaves.

Wail of woes, dehydrated dreams
Crushed in the battlefield of th...

Mid-Summer Night Dream

...Once upon a time in the land of the Hobbits, 
Fili was annoyed.  He wanted excitement.
He was the youngest of the twelve dwarves,
Dressed in a blue cloak and sporting a yellow beard,

When safety died.
My father 
Home from war 
Would drink whiskey 
Straight from the bottle.  
Veins full of firewater, 
Filled and spilled, 
Fighting off his pain.

like the gentleman who knows 
how to throw you against a wall;
Words so cordial
