Balzac and Robespierre

Balzac is beading,
Robespierre is reading,
Introversion I am needing,
Reflections I am heeding,
In old bat cave central,
Like an ancient Sybil, hypothetical,
Wisdom is supposed to come with age,
As Balzac turns his own page,
Why am I more religious than the Pope?
Can any faith give Earthlings hope?
Better than folk smoking dope!
If you have problems embarrassing,
Bring them here for my listening,
Sage advice I am providing,
Reflections  I am heeding,
Yes, boys, beer understands,
How did dinosaurs make it in Pleistocene lands?
Answer: They didn't, for beer, no hands,
Yes, reflections I am heeding,
Humans are minute cosmic specks, spinning,
on a pebble in Outer Space, clinging,
If gravity didn't suck, we'd all be floating,
Reflections I am heeding,
As Robespierre shall keep reading,
Then Balzac shall be beading.......


Playing Hooky

Today I cut my beading class.
I didn’t feel like going;
But there will be no consequences
Due to my not showing.

I will not get detention
Or some points off from my grade,
Though of course it will take longer
For my bracelet to get made.

It reminds me of the feeling
When I struck out on my own
And became aware each choice I made
Was mine and mine alone.

Beer and nacho chips for dinner
With some ice cream on the side?
There was no one there to tell me
My decisions were denied.

So today I played some hooky,
Not my usual routine,
But at times it’s nice to feel again
Like being seventeen!

The Myth of Laureled Paradise

A living corpse breathes on the bed
   Light and Death cool the sweat
   Beading on the forehead of blank
   Centuries heeding on greed and a
   Invisible monster numbered in the book
   Of souls misting in the laughter of science

   Come now the voices
   Coo and be reborn into the bleeding
   Tapestry of blood and violence
   Sex and death pulse from the atom
   Bombs and the makers of worlds destroy
   The color like lead throats choking
   On the beauty of a balmy window soothing
   The pain in psalms ruptures butterflies and bees
   In the breeze of yellow summer lying in haze

   White sheets wrapped in murders’ dingy
   Rooms fading windows lust stabbing
   Each heartbeat a vision of nothing
   -ness and the lyric of one more soft
   meal and the murmur of crowds chanting
   the name of digital songs evoking Gods
   dead in the commerce of equations stocks
   falling in the channels of streets babbling
   from scabs of dreams dry and broken the
   bread is poisoned words empty cupboards
   crumbed with the myth of laurelled paradise…

Premium Member Love's Beating

Soul of one's life, does it live to exist 
Perhaps emotional wreck of many desires breath 
Love, hate, judgement to feel as if thought 
Undying voice controlling journey of life 
You can not kill for its idealistic 
Realities truth to honesty in a race 
Can not hide, darkness depths can't contain 
Even the unkind feel it eating for something 
True, one does have heart behind deadly eyes 

What is it we look for in life fulfillment 
Except that in everything love be found 
Is what breathe a heart felt momentarily vison of what could be 
Where soul is not but just molecule times passing 
Dying away in mist glaze of comet's tail 
Why is it we thrive on deaths door 
A broken heart aches, unwanted edge to fall 
To bury its pain, search of its touch 

Why does it hurt so deeply felt, wanting 
Even not to love, anguish breaks my being 
The scent, unnoticed call to an attraction 
Body race in enthusiastic rage of impulse 
Salt droplets of love's passion beading the skin 
Love, many levels we can experience 
Even fall out of love we have lasting bond 
I know you feel me, I love you also 
Love's beating, takes a licking and never sleeps 
Tic, tic, love; emotional or nature of our being

Premium Member Wisps Of Smoke Rings

We were like smoke rings in the way that our bodies curled around one another, wisps of lovers' cries intermingled with the ecstasy we once discovered
We were all arms, legs, hands and fingertips, two people became one on that night that isn’t supposed to exist
We both let down our guards, the walls that we had once built up, just so that we could feel the way we made each other feel, with the release, the fire within, the rush
We couldn’t seem to get close enough, it’s almost as though we wanted to live within one another, lips touching places upon my skin that are only meant for you, my lover


We were wrapped up inside a whirlwind of nothing but pure bliss, and you were like a breath of fresh air entering my lungs once I touched your luscious lips
I can almost still feel the sweat beading up upon my skin, I can almost hear your whispers in my ear your breath depicting that you’re sated, but wanting nothing more than to go again
I can make my mind conjure up the memory of your handsome face, and I can almost taste the sweetness that you chose to erase
All in a wisp of smoke like a magician’s trick you disappeared, and I have nothing but the scent of you that lingers on me once the smoke has cleared.

Eye For An Eye (Duet With Kristy De La Keur)

I'm in the house all alone.
 (She is no where near alone in this house.)
I hear the ringing of the phone.
 (And believe me its not just a mere mouse.)

I answer, but oddly there is no one there.
 (Not even a dial tone, will she hear on the line.)
I think this is more than the average scare.
 (When this is over, not even her body, they'll find.)

I hang up and turn around, eyes open wide.
 (My decaying corpse I shall let her see.)
I realize suddenly I'm trapped inside.
 (Tell whomever you want, but no one will believe.)

Even though I'm locked inside, I still try to flee.
 (I slam the door, there is no escape here!)
Oh why, oh why won't this ghost let me free?
 (Oh how I love the smell of her fear!)

Oh Lord I wish I could take back that night.
 (She should never have been drinking.)
When I ran her down in drunken delight.
 (What was wrong with her, what was she thinking?)

I got out of the car to see what I had hit.
 (I lay on the road a crumpled heap.)
In my stupor I pick her up so I can take her to a fresh dug pit.
 (She throws me carelessly in the back of her Jeep.)

I now see for the wrong I've done I MUST make amend.
 (Breathing hard with sweat beading on her forehead.)
I grab my chest as my life suddenly comes to an end.
 (Eye for an eye we're even now that she too, is dead.)

Cross Water Stories

~

Cross water stories 
beckon with pictures of auras,
glowing symbols of that dream
cast aside long ago
on a wayward stone,
flushed of soft banks 
and cattails swaying
in synchronized movements 

Winding down some unforgotten stream
where rivers meet oceans
and waves conjure thoughts 
of rhythmic bystanders
wishing you well
as you float to that island,
where days last forever
and heart shaped seashells
bloom amidst the sand

Where the footprints you follow
are hers leading toward you
beneath a Mardi Gras sun
beading sweat on glistening bodies,
sun tanned symphonies
wallow in the warm breezes
while aquamarine desires
coming with the tide,
drench you with love

these words I’ve written

bringing out the garbage. 
not in bags but inside boxes. 
smells so bad. 
books and all my bull. 
bristles.
barely able to breathe. 
baked in butane. 
burning it all into oblivion. 
banished borders. 
barriers. 
brine and bristle. 
bursting. 
buried in the backyard. 
benign, yet blasphemous. 
bouts of boredom begin again. 
blended with bacteria. 
biting at my brain. 
a billion bits of alphabet. 
but none is ever submit. 
betting I’ll never be bred again. 
bed beckons. 
but there’s a  therein. 
biting. 
bleeding out in barometers. 
blisters. 
blasting me for a burial of bliss. 
besides what’s better?
borderline or bipolar? 
not sure anymore about it. 
breaking bullets. 
bits of bone in a barrel. 
but I’ll begin again. 
bustling. 
bludgeoning. 
blossoming. 
becoming a beast like beating. 
breath bleating. 
retreating into the bleak. 
black holes. 
buttoning up my best dress. 
breast beading. 
leading to a baked out feeling. 
no one believes in. 
bibles on the battalion bar. 
brittle from the battle but bustling. 
by the by I’ll buy it all back. 
then pry it open from behind. 
it’ll be back. 
brackish but boiling like butter. 
brother doesn’t bother. 
before it breaks into bitty bits. 
bit into by the bitten. 
backstabbing. 
besting all others besides Bukowski. 
perhaps Blake. 
for Christ’s sake baptized. 
but bound by some Beelzebub. 
blessed be the blind. 
because they know not beauty. 
but it’s 6 a.m. baby. 
is that our breakfast baking? 
eggs Benedict and bacon. 
biscuits with gravy. 
it’s all over anyway but the blues—

Premium Member Rain

Mist moved over the river flats,  
beading cobwebs along the fence.  

By dusk, raindrops gathered  
and danced in the dust,  
each small impact  
summoning a hundred more.  

By dawn, their bright insistence  
drummed on every roof,  
swelling down into the river  
until it forgot its banks.  

Freed from its borders,  
the flood rushed to the lowest point—  
the open cut.  

It crossed the service road,  
slipped past rusted gates,  
and filled the excavation.  

It lifted the warning signs,  
worried black silt from the seams,  
carried the company’s name away.  

As the rain slowed,  
a wetland took shape,  
mirroring the sky—  
a chorus of warbling and croaking fills the air.

Premium Member Brenda and Banron

Brenda and Banron bounced slowly on his boat
as the brilliant sun sparkled brightly on the glistening water.
Big and burly he was the boy she sought after in her book.
She smiled bravely as his battered pole slipped smoothly
through the babbling blue surf leaving the sand far behind.
"But why have you brought me to this barren sad place?" Brenda spoke.
Banron sized her up, staring blankly into her soft beryl eyes.
"It is seven leagues beyond the barrier reef that we are bound," he said.
Sea gulls skimmed lazily across the bow of the bobbing boat
as it slowly yet bullheadedly sloshed sprays of salty brine
into brackish basins starting to fill under the benches where they sat.
The sun was intense, battering her senses and beading sweat on her bosom.
"You better take me back Banron," she stated as their destination drew near.
The breeze blew stiff from the opening in a cliff soothing her hot breast
as butterflies stressed the bile in her bubbling stomach making her want to barf.
Believing Banron simply saw her for her body enticed her emotions,
but now she stirred self consciously as he gazed at her from beneath his brutish brow.
As the boat smoothly slid into the cave, before her she beheld a dark brackish stream 
"You don't seem to understand beautiful Brenda, I am not Banron, I am Chanron the boatman 
and before you lies the river Styx, now, one silver coin, if you please, my sweet baby."
