I Will Be Queen

She smirked 
With a remarkable resemblance 
To Miranda Richardson 
Playing Elizabeth the First

Just as soon as I can bump off 
My new Sister-in-Law
Korporate Kate 
That two bit Sloan 
It shall be I who is 
Next...

Red and Trueblue Family--2

My dear Siblings,

I voted for Hillary. 
I would have preferred Bernie, 
but she agreed to much of his platform-especially universal health care and education and seemed to be cognizant of environmental/climate change issues and bonus--she's...

The Movers of Paint

The Queen of England exists in a sphere
Of opulence, hygiene, crystals and clear
The Queen of England, between me and you
Is oblivious of the fact, that all is not true
The Queen of England is surrounded by...

Cinderfella

Standing in the wings, on the periphery

of her cultivated world, inhibited only by

station and space, my head slowly spins

into her orbit, my eye lids twitter nervously,

my titillated ears vibrate, my hands tremble,

inner being disassembles, kneeling...

Please Never Let Me Go

An echo of crimson nights call onto you
as I brush up against your tan skin with
ease.

for you are my abode
my shelter from pain
my perpetual home

The stars no longer silent; 
my arms no longer abandoned.
The sensual...

Good times and bad times and we still made it here
Never a fighting word to be said
Falling asleep holding you in my bed
A secret love between you and...

Steps On a Tuesday

Tuesday. 
Th sun is faint, but our precious breeze 
is alive.
An afternoon of walking.
Walking and feeling and seeing.
An unmarked route around Hermosa Beach.
My only chore of the afternoon was to the bank.
Plenty of pedestrians sharing...

Wet Paint

I believe we are all artists…artists…in our own way.
adding new colors to the self portrait we are painting every day.

Which means there will always be a little wet paint on this portrait we’re maintaining 
because...

Potage Passion

Just a bit of black pepper
As your breath brushes against my neck,
Dangerously close.
Don’t forget the heavy cream
You whisper gently in my ear.

My knees slightly shaking as I stir 
You passionately intertwine the broth 
As I...

Where Our Lives Intersect There Is No Sunshine

Where our lives intersect there is no sunshine

It seems we are rooted in coldness.
How we nourish ourselves is our mystery.
On the outside we look healthy, even beautiful,
Others envy what they think we have—vibrant love.

But through...

In Eden's Beauty

if only i could paragraph your halcyon breath,
i’d encompass your essence in eden’s beauty

our lips avowed in a kiss held in an
abyss of lingering reminiscence,
never seized in laden avails-

i brush up on my painting skills
the room in my mind is slated clean
pastels under foot bring cheap thrills
actively brewing my mental caffeine

with keen anticipation i open the can
and scents arise from creamy hues
to stir...

I saw that look in your eyes
   staring back at me,   reading my thoughts,

Beautiful Lady With That Colorful Blank Stare

Strolling along the beach without a single care
When I look up to see 
This lady with a colorful blank stare
Who has stunning snow white hair
Casting her amazing eyes on to me
Should I be aware

How she...

He is the sinking of the final red orange sun of the glowing summer 
Warmth no longer oozing and seeping into the pores as I lie bare under the skies 
Jeweled dewdrops on the morning...

One Love

One love
By Michelle Morris

I see the memories of us
Floating around in the room,
High above me, 
Sent from heaven...

Blessings of all the goodness
That was us, oh, yes, oh, yes;
Blessings in our souls,
Feel the rush, feel the...

Do Not Play With Plaque

Do Not Play with Plaque

We prefer that you do not play with plaque,
Or much more decay soon may come back;
Even if your gums and skin are both porous,
Come to dentist office and join their chorus.

Senior Prom

The Senior Prom was the social event of the school year!
I approached the occasion with great humility and fear.
Never knowing if I could get a date caused me apprehension,
But finding someone to go greatly eased...

Purging the Extra Stuff

When I am honest with my belongings 
I am amazed to find that I have surrounded myself
With things that I thought I could not live without
Once upon a time…..

It Started With A Blank Canvas

The master artist stroked with his brush of beneficence
The canvas relented. There, hence, blossomed magnificence.
Each stroke gave birth to a rainbow of multi-hued images.
Each dot gleamed, as though waiting to be alive for long ages.

Among the Pomegranates

Outside the city where the pomegranates grow,
Where that ocean that gently sweeps my brow, 
Collides with the rurality of the cows giving milk, 
In a fusion spring loaded with happiness and silk. 

My true love...
