"The Pure in Simplicity"

the love thieves
all in syncronicity
shoot silver kisses 

like bullets

penetrating
the pure 
in simplicity

pretenders 
sit at your table
feast on your losses

never your wins
now...
acrostics..

they swallow,
whole heartedly
it's kind of like medicine,

your everything, 
your sons 
and your...

Disappointment crossed my hapless mind.
Instead of thinking that would be fine,

Supple and sweet within my reach
Under starry skies or sandy beach
Zigzagging...

Poets at Play

I played with words today –
They called to me 
“Come out and play with us!”
Childhood companions
Building rhythms like treehouse forts –
Playhouses of analogy -
Crafting rhymes that follow the leader
Into mud pie irony;
Playing peek-a-boo...

An Autumn Intermingled


When twilight sends lavender to the sky,
And reflections of light ignite the orange,

(Alluring colours of autumn mesmerise),
Sickle of moon is unable to cut the dark,
(Unfathomed beauty in orange and yellow),
Robust waters of rivers...

WAKE UP MY HEART

Wake up my heart, from satin sleep, so deep.
Up my expectations, of dawn’s satisfying affection.
My sorrows and worries pale, your loving kiss warms.
Heart burns and we’re soldered together, you and me.
