of misguided, misjudged, and mislaid blame,
nevertheless I make dubious claim

Dorothea, was that truly her name?
 Does it matter after all these years
 so long passed the heartache of a child's tears?

This tale remembered from a lifetime that unwinds
 once forgotten and lost without reason...

Predetermination of Lovers

Proactive on the lips of such sensual passions
Scavenges through follicles design
To written archangels of expression

Such are the hungry beats and pulses that evolve
In contemplation
Of Amours encounter with her skin

Illustrious? Too sophisticated.
Advanced? Sounds too modern.
Awkward? Not in the mood yet.
Animalistic? A nice ring, bereft of a special ring.
Will consider it for later though. Jotting it down now.

I could cut up some onions. I got...

An instrument of beauty,
poetry is art at its best
with its verses of passion
penned with love
in assorted and variegated
metrical composition

the demonstrative...

We each must believe in something to exist

Whether self is king or that in certain vice
To delegate a chance or that in some roll of the dice
Some our content in stoic & mundane
Wile others our...

From the very depths of my inner being I cherish  poetry,
without the written verse I’d  be impoverished as a person,

left alone;
and the never said . . . never happened;
and so who shall ever question?

The “never will” can be:
the never did, 
the never can,
the never could,

The splendor of her soul augments my interminable desires
Every osculation is a demonstrative of our unfurling fires

SMEARED MIRROR

Looking dead at me 
in this smeared mirror...

a lost man

face red
brittle with tears

making excuses

and a demonstrative stare

a guilty reflection appears
in this...
