Black Swan

I saw you …

high …
atop the promontory
spinning with manic madness
pirouettes et fouetté
lost in yourself -
in movement …
your upper back split, low
and, I swear -
feathers … peeking …
tucked under your shoulder blades
splayed and black as black
(obsidian...

love’s last press

silly dream …

but it’s mine nonetheless
wait …
wait for it …
I’ll wait for it now and ever
to feel that press
the press of sweet tenderness
that melting mouth that met mine all
those aching moonrises ago
the first - a...

Great Britain In No Particular Order

In no particular order
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 
But together Great Britain

I have never been to Scotland.
Wales or Northern Ireland as well.
That’s because I’m getting old.
And I’m not well, I’m ill.
Yet what I see...

The Dead Cat Waltz

THE DEAD CAT WALTZ

now that the circus is coming to...

Seduction's Abduction

I begin as a covet, dulcet demure
pure in play, unbound to a dogma or tablature, a luscious lure,
I find that nerve of passion's verve nestled 'neath narcissistic comfiture
a covey of tingles taunting the ambition you...

Pull out the easel

Sketch the figures huddled and dark-bound hostage

God Money

dollars dance ...

in the eyes of angels
plates at the ends of pews
passed strategically in tempo
to burnish words
(even more strategic)
pretty sheep
buttered and wagging
like the smooth tongue at the podium
not to follow rags, you see
no barefoot bums...

A Poet With a Priceless Pen

I am poet with a priceless pen
born to burnish the beauty of men.
I wonder what mortal mirrors reflect...
For me, all races deserve respect.

I often hear the splashing of rain,
and flood rushing down the drain.
I see...

My time has come... my time has come
To rise and meet the day.
In hope the woe that follows me
Has been lost and gone astray.
As I have a desperate need to make amends
To burnish up my...

Twin Palms

Twin Palms

In a pensive mood I walked downhill
Reflecting on the disappearing years
Wondering how many more autumns left 
To enjoy the golden sun on his way home
Down the flaming hill-side.
I spread out my palm to catch...

Fledglings in parental nest

Way-lost as if we live in hoary past-- 
In epics of hist’ry poets have sung, 
In portraits of culture, hoisted on mast, 
Still, where are old glories, save on the tongue? 
One knows of few...

Pairing Indeterminate

Where then the emotive happiness
with such procrastinated enchantment brings
desirous supposedly encountered
and romantic wanderings heady cadence
which pins the inattentive to the skins of longing

It is said to be lost in the surge
to swirl with giddy waltz

Sweet Seduction

Smouldering flower blooming
Untouched in life’s garden
Valleys of divine bliss
Pleasure in smouldering innocence
None has treaded
So many emotions unspoken
So many things unsaid”

Hills to explore and mould to hand
You reap what you sow
Fruit of crops 
Mystery of woven...

Into the mellow I fall gently gliding into green pastures 
owling eyes watching behind birch, the sound of breaking pine  
wild horses flying past the wind, a country of blushing skies 
The quiet day...

Unwise To Flex Macho Muscles

I save my love in the cave
Where she roams free
Shoving aside the pride of the stave
Whose tentacles disagree

With the quality and quantity of care
Love demands in return for expanding horizons
In which she’s the key player...

The Wall

I waited to see 
My reflection in you 
My eagerness reached the sky. 
As the day passes Its strength spreads to the universe.   
Days passed as the seconds. 
Neither I saw 
The spread of my reflection 
To the world 
Nor I saw it in...
