A PIOUS PACHYDERMIC POSE
(A Haiku Duo)
Big head, knees, and legs;
A huge body, kneeling, as if
In genuflection:-
Long ivory-bound trunk,
Graciously bent down, as if
In pious prayer:-
ANGELIC DECEPTOR
Magnetic mantis,
in pious genuflection,
attracting its prey:-
CHIRICO
drousy
dreamland

genuflection
TWINKU a double word distich with integral title
All war is unjust
You celebrate your murderers like they won you a war
And what for? Is my question. Do you pass inspection?
No genuflection; no halo you own.
You gun down the innocent and gnaw on their bones,
Like the savages you are, you fallen stars,
Are dead to me. I see such glee.
Oh the pain you reap.
Your just reward, for an unjust war,
For all are…is a silver star on your heart.

Chester on stage
holding a high note -
how will he bring it down?
Some screams from girls
as he brings it down,
and "E", the note,
brings genuflection.
~~Can You Feel It~~
The rainbowed bubbles of hope in the air?
God's hands cupping the earth during
these days of a great scare?
It's time to realize that peanut brained scientists
and deceptive politicians,
Need a date soon with great-famed morticians!
Time to get your groove back, poets dear.
Your morning prayer include you promising to God,
you have had enough and give Him all your fears.
It's perfectly fine to bend your knee in the humblest
of a genuflection.
And realize we truly live in a world headed for peace
and perfection!
Good signs, dear poets, are seen everywhere!
But it's up to you to acknowledge the reality of them
actually being there!
Now, get out of the darkness and your hibernation.
It's up to each of us, to be freed from-madness~
sttart living yout life in full satisfaction!

There Is Hope Here
Each morning, at the sunrise’s invocation,
Beckoning you to a new day of dedication.
We should, with joy be in genuflection,
Planning the day with awesome reflection!
We smile with awesome gratification.
As we serve our God, on His plantation.
We watch the sunflowers waltz with glee.
As we eat a fresh orange from our backyard tree.
Cats come by, to sit with us and play.
We thank God for this, and do humbly pray!

Fire does not discriminate. She treats us all equally.
She consumes everything in her path – wood, cotton, linen.
Leaves gray and black smoldering devastation behind.
Popping and crackling, she inches up like a snake.
Trees, houses, sheds, garages, churches, shudder and fall.
Bowing to her majesty, as she races past, ignoring their genuflection.
charismatically gifted
in conceptual leaps
expressions
opening
a doorway
to destiny
moments in time
stumato,
from a butterfly mind
scattered
with unfinished masterpieces
of imagination
drawings chalked& charcoaled
with tonal modulation
the inner person

face on
in ambivalence
profiles turned to the light
display emotional depth
through the genius
of genuflection

The gun is on the pulse, pull the trigger or live.
Truth or false is not a choice they are willing to give.
It’s you versus us, versus the things that they did.
Do you believe and trust or never forgive?
They claim to be our protection,
But are unwilling to allow closer inspection,
For they have no reflection as they sold their souls.
The ‘God’s’ teach us genuflection,
Because their badge is misinformation,
And their prison plantations are only built for gold.
A man is never born free,
There is always a price that must be paid;
And from your very first day to the day with the spade,
You are made to work, digging your own grave.
One day at a time, there is a game that must be played.
Choice is not a thing we choose without regret.
Do we get out of bed or put a bullet in our head?
With life’s hands ‘round your neck, I’d say the choice is made,
So put a smile on your face and just hope for the best.
It’s a pretty world if your mind is blind.
It’s a lucky life if you are not kind.
It’s a God damn good day; a good day to die.
It’s a choice we made when we chose to no longer cry.

"Barefeet"
Let sleeping cats lie
velvet dreams licking
skeleton keys
passed on kisses
passed on fire tongues
sketchy
scratchy
curled around
warm blanketed whispers
laughter tickled
by whiskers
tales twisted
paws softly scratching
skin forgotten,
dormant
covered safely
under blanket
out of life
out of tune
in over-heated
lonely poet-hung rooms
barefeet in benediction
crouched naked waiting
ready
in position
on knees
elbows follow, genuflection
cats, black hearts
all feral
stalking futures passive
inside pheromones all growling
aggressive wants
demanding latent love
A Prayer
for the wild at heart
dancing naked
seeking some kind of love
souls on
hot tin roofs
very forward
purring darkly
come
(Ladylabyrinth / 2020)
Can You Feel It
The rainbowed bubbles of hope in the air?
God's hands cupping the earth during these days of a great scare?
It's time to realize that peanut brained scientists and politicians,
Need a date soon with great-famed morticians!
Time to get your groove back, brilliant poets, so dear.
Your morning prayer to include you promising to God, you have had
enough and give Him all your fears.
It's perfectly fine to bend your knee in the humblest of a genuflection.
And realize we truly live in a world headed for peace and perfection!
Good signs, poets of hope, are everywhere!
But it's up to you to acknowledge the reality of them ....being there!
Now, get out of the darkness and your hibernation.
It's all up to each of us, to be freed from madness~start living in loving liberation!

window frames genuflection
eyes closed
reflection of colortones
bold and bright, bent
by early morning light, praise
of knobby oaks
like a rising thicket of fog
noticed only by specularity
of a poet’s repose

"Stone Throwers, Love's Release"
Cages
come in all shapes
and sizes
all different ages
the ones
who circle their
little locked rooms
counting time
in calm rages
steel bars
dissolving lives
scream please
release
pray for their
safety daily
for daughters
mothers
fathers
sons
Some never find
peace, freedom.
Love and kindness
somehow if
it remains and
Forgiveness
are the Key.
Hand them your
Love always -
no matter how hard -
Love's Release

Cages
come in all shapes

all different ages
throughout history

Genuflection
Down on my knees

"Stone Throwers" / Johnny Hollow

"PARIS"
Her perfume follows him
from room to room
Lily-of-the-Valley-Roses
lingers in the corners
of his mind, the hollow of
his neck
a soft kiss some hot moment back
in time, a vintage tune
Breeze blows her curtains
wide open
her streets of soft pink velvet
pulsating
Cherry Blossom,
her Empress Trees
all her rapturous city's noises
sway in time to
all his heart’s
crying voices
Her Church steeple,
his place of worship
god’s altar
drink her wine
his hair ruffled
genuflection,
Choir of Angels sweet cry.
Spring rain softly caressing
his Winter window panes
stained glass
Cognac Kisses, sweet
nude vertigo
luscious dream,
wanton blisses,
his last golden
Libertango
(Lovejoy-Burton/2018 Jan)
