Invasive Poems

Intusive Thoughts

Often quiet evenings, when I read,
Memories of you softly intrude
Times when you were my only need
Heady days of a love we pursued
and saw only in glasses rose hued.

Thoughts surface I wish would move on,
as unknown others invade my sleep.
They are interlopers, quickly spawned,
spreading fantasies that grow and creep,
like tangled vines invading my sleep.

Dreams of you

invasive species

Peter in the summer morning sun
his cool smile shaded by shadows run
his voice as soothing as coffee’s scent
tell me he wasn’t heaven sent

Peter of Malibu moss and Spanish rose
his lips like light-coral, in kissable repose
his legs slouched akimbo, like a tiger’s limbs
how I long to re-entangle myself in them.

Peter’s quick caress, on windy Tropez beaches
aren’t

Cane Toad

Toxic darts unveil,
Dominating land is mine
Greed is on the line.

Invasive species

As our human population increases 
we risk becoming an invasive species.
   We are spreading with speed
   like an unwelcome weed,
so native creatures are suffering decreases.

Her Invasive Hair

her hair is all over the place
wackadoodle with curls
filling up the space between chairs
stiff burgundy and black locks
twirling around the bottom of our feet
Which would have been okay in normal heat
It is ninety-two degrees in here.
So her wackadoodle hair is slightly irritating
to those of us who have to watch how we move our chairs.

Pervasive

what is the true pattern of consciousness in this immense universe?
how far into the overwhelming breach has awareness been dispersed?

in the depths of exhaustion, the dark silent stillness nourishes me
universe is full of entities which act surreptitiously

from ignition, our sun has shown each second of every cosmic day
particle exchange has long been the source of

Invasive

life had become a flat line

a once wonderful rhythm 

ceased to pulsate 

not even palpitations


pressure had won over

struggling on

depression self-harm

cognitive dysfunction


one final cut

then he touched her heart

excised rotten valves

replaced them with joy


bypassed clots of despair

offered new lease of love

sleeping beauty woke up

from deep slumber


when the surgeon

closed the wounds 

she bore her scars with

gratitude and pride

loathsome creatures

Silent Sound

Invasive...a technological storm that reigns
      Voices of the rapist silent sound is its name
         Unwillingly...there is nothing here left to explain
            Monitored remotely by those who laugh at the shame 

Invasive

the bittersweet that grows and starts
clandestine tendrils at my heart
pulling as my grasp decays
on withered vines by
lonely caves

yet I reach for
fetid fruits while
rats in my gaze and guile
chuckle with their
rodent smiles

still wondering how
we chose to be
this victim of insanity
where sand is quick
who struggles most

surely to please
their willing host

Pervasive Invasive

There's a plant in my garden,
Looks like a tree.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see.

There's a plant in my garden,
With roots running deep.
It's sucking the life
Right out of me.

There's a plant in my garden
That's bigger than me.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see.

Private Eyes Invasive Eyes

 Everywhere, in dark and light, 
are always watching eyes.
Way out in space, 
glowing orbs, 
some of gold; 
watch through celestial layers.

Sift through the layers, 
to allow the light.  
Expose the golden, 
watching eyes.  
Those burning orbs, 
that hide in space.

We all need our private space.
Desperate, we dress in layers, 
to escape the

Invasive

Light comes... ever invading
Brilliant, iridescent
Illuminating all paths

Glows in deepest darkness; can not be hid!
