"impromptu haiku"
soon will come silence
the words will say
shhhh...........
it
IMPROMPTU
Her wordless lips
Seemed destined to say,
Yes, I’m the one.
My moveless eyes
Tried to hide my inchoate question,
Are you the one?
In a spontaneous reply
To an unasked question,
The loveliest face
I had ever seen
Turned to meet my gaze.
Our souls felt the warm
Spotlight of magnetism
Irresistibly drawing us
27 August 2021
I am silent
Above the shout
The clouds are coming
More roaring than the sea
My tears flowed like waves
Nobody see me as well as ghosts
I walk the streets recklessly
Nobody see me as well as ghosts
i just wrote
a poem a
minute
ago
eight
people
read it but
it's not worth
it as it's
11:46pm
EST and i'm
sure you'd
rather be
where i'd
rather be
sleeping
the poet's mind
races facing
in the mirror
they say my
muse but
even Beethoven
composed him
self before
a mirror not
believing
he was deaf
as all that say
"my muse" isn't
up to writing right
at this moment but
then they wait
and wait for their
muse to sate their
lust or love or hate or
any expression they wish
to spit upon
the page
and if it
isn't a
rage
blame it
on their
confused
muse that
had a bad
day
but
day
by day
i hope and
pray that
i may once
again see the
day when i get
to look face to face
once
again
with my
true muse
she says
take a rest
but i've the rest
of my life to take
one of these and say
sieste
mid day
nap time
retiring into
retirement and
just as
planned
i'm there
sitting on
a chair but
my
eyes are
shut and my
head is hanging
but not sleeping but
crying
for not as
planned you
are no where to
be found and reality
keeps
me even
from trying
to dream because
i want you with me for
real
right from the start
you told me you
weren't going
to be but not
believing
you're
going to be
gone all
night
long now i
long for
thee
miles and
Miles
Davis
plays for you
minimalistic
jazz blues
listen to my
heart beat
and keep
the groove
sell it on
You
Tube but still
can't reach
you even
with a video
almost
p**no
graphically
just me
seen
dancing to
a movie
of you
oh how you
move
me
we both woke
at the same time
but in different beds
and in different
countries
we both didn't snore
during the night and
both had dreams of
each other but when
we both woke
we were closer
then before and
getting closer
everyday
she's a wild
flower with
rose hips
and broad
leaves
she to me
is medicinal
and can be
prepared in
many ways
she can be
eaten raw
like a salad
a musky taste
with a hint of mint
she can be
made into a
tea and drunk
hot or cold not
needing honey
or fed with
garlic and
mustard
holding
her
close to
my chest
picante
driving
away
all
my
ailments
it's crunch time
bottom of the line
but i think that's
more meant to be
like i'm dying but
never give to that
which will make
you stronger
so i thought about
maybe bagging
groceries and
go figure i can
see myself
bagging an old
woman's
groceries
thinking
wow she has
all her faculties
but suddenly snap
back to reality
i'm bagging
groceries
for an
old
man
her and i
we'd talk
well into deep
envenings
until i
my shift
became
daylight
then that
i instead
became
daylight
then and
she became
the night
tell me when
you last saw
a rainbow
in the night
i lost
a whole
day
i looked
in my
pants pockets
but were those
the ones that
i was wearing
yesterday
there weren't
any holes
so thinking
don't panic yet
look at the magnetic
calender stuck
on my
fridge
but how do i
know that
that's
the
correct
year
she lay on
the bed like
a crucifix
i kissed
and licked
her blistered
feet annointing
my tongue with
smell and sweat
never to ever
forget that which
she has given me
sanctified
if it is her grail
time then i will
surely
drink her
dark red wine
i don't
need an
er*ct**n to
express what
direction my dowser
bends
or leans
as if appointed
appointments need
to be made so not said
a date
but wait
my pene dowser
has seemed to have
found the source of your
and
my mind's
desire so with
tongue and teeth
let me dig where the
X
marks
the G
spot
here
you're trying
i'm trying
you wonder
i wonder
why is this
cast literally
a body
cast
i'm a love
wreck
so out of
my mind
so out of
time with
the world
beat
as i tap
the time
with not
my foot
but
with
my
toes
