Convex and Concave!"

Premium Member What are we?
As the midnight
  sun cries sweet honey,  
the mourning moon
 croons caramelized deceit,  
like toffee-speckled leaves,  
whistling bewitching myths,  
seducing silenced silhouettes,  
engrossed in tangerine temptations,  
and mundane...

Enchanting - Prologue
She smiled at him, from a distance.
Imagination, betraying trust.
Mesmerized; he moved towards her.
His heart was racing, his mind.

Looked liked she landed from heaven.
Wearing a yellow skirt, red tops.
And a laced white jacket over her,
Perfect bosom
Her...

The Wood Carver
I am a wood carver by instinct and intuition;
I am not a wood carver by trade or profession.
I carve the likenesses of things into something whole,
Into the shapeless wood, I carve the essence of its...

Nights passing without love… without dreams
No more in reality may I find comfort to breathe to survive
With without the curse, I’m only to...

On the Catwalk
In numerous locales countrywide, they hold sway
Pirouetting at intervals like ballerinas from Bolshoi
Beauteous, feline and very feminine
Slender to the point of emaciation, not quite
Cultivating the undernourished look on a frugal diet
Decidedly austere for a longer...

mine was the last generation to be spanked. sensuous and real, w/ corporal punishment— at

in the new violence no one raises a hand— eyebrows and...

Premium Member That Was Then, This Is Now

That was then….
When the tapestry of contentment enveloped 
the enthralled expanse exhilarated,
of the sensuous sky called life. 
When the fervent flight was friendly 
for the esoteric essence to fly fearless 
near and far like a...

His Love For Storm
He laid next to her, incognizant and numb.
His skin once blanche white and smooth, now almost mustard color.
Sickle shape impressions were on his cheeks and chin, an obvious telling sign of the effects of the...

Stubborn Words (Sestina)
My pregnant psyche labors over words
and somber fetuses embalmed in ink.
A restless scribble knots my burdened nerves
with these encrypted ciphers I can't grasp.
Interpretations drip from severed tongues,
absurd perceptions form a distant mood.

My prying, inquisition probes...

The Snow Child

The child, the crow and the old man

A solitary crow on stilted tree was perched
An ugly black bird with beady eyes that searched
For carrion across the shady contoured scape
Where glimpsed a bent and shadowy shape
