Premium MemberBlink of An Eye

...At 20 I never thought I’d have to work as hard
as I am at 60.
At 40 I never thought I wouldn’t want to.
Today I’m having my doubts.
A few days ago a man in town died suddenly
while out mowing hi...

...Keeling upon the open sea 
A moving mountain majesty,
is colossal water’s slow roll ~
To stars, I pray for land to stroll …

As confused waves begin to toss,
keeping sane where vertigo’s boss,

but he struck his thumb

now he was dumb-struck

and screamed jolly good

his hand in plaster

and bad luck his master

While yours truly (me)

Ketch Me

...Keeling
   epode masts
       tilt horizon’s sun
          collecting crimson

               Her sails ablaze
                  make mauve
                     evanesce

...Agog 

bemusement careened

dreamed enchantment

first gaze, hoped in jeopardy 

keeling lust made nectarine offer piquant...

quagmire’s ruse stirred 

torturing umber veins

That dreadful lonesome feeling 
Only I can really comprehend 
This forlorn emotion coursing through me

Healing

...When you’re sick and you are reeling
Since with symptoms you are dealing
There is nothing more appealing
Than a “How you feeling?” note.

For while sickness has been stealing
Hours and days, it...

Premium MemberLove Is Eternal

...An old man keeling down by a gravestone
cleans the inscription so it can be read.
For it’s a symbol of why he had come
“Love Is Eternal” was all that it said.

Wiping a tear, his expression glaz...

A Punny Death

...A Coffee Merchant was the first man to find,
The corpse as he started off on his daily grind!
What he saw filtered through, so he had grounds
To send for the Police, to investigate what he'd found...

Blakkr Valda

...Might I'm wielding,
Coping dealing...
Blight unyielding,
Prying, peeling.

Writhing turning,
Twisting churning...
Mindless  yearning,
Lauding, purring.

Stomach keeling,
Curdling, reeling....

Where Are You, Lord

Abiotic

...This is not life
Façade-glossed eyes
Spilling out
Keeling from inside

This is not
What I traded for a pay check
A calendar space
Insentience

This is not dilated pupils
Suggestive smirks ...

I Am Poetry

...I stand solo, aloof in the snow, a precipitation 
                     of words cascading from a nebulous eye 
Fathoms wide, forever dripping like wax onto 
                     a punctured paper ser...
