The sick, the helpless and the weak
When happened he across a fawn
Tied amid, a...

My heart skips a beat and my knees turn weak
Your eyes lock with mine in a fleeting glance
In a ricochet of emotion I just cannot speak 

Our time...

of green acquirable only in a

its petals beckons awareness of those very 
strokes that live in the lustre of your shapely...

well everybody else became slaves money
the wealthy getting wealthier

to the crippling effects of ownership

You always aspired to the distinguished air
That tends to attend the depths of despair,
Strove to emanate the sophistication
You associate will suicidal tendencies

A pretty little picture perfect portrait
Of a contemporary damsel in...

KP: With embellishment aborted, 
sidewalk and street talk wail from paper. 
Tears vividly seen because cursive one's don't wipe away. 
An intrinsic institution allergic to plagiarized allegiance, 
we're born and bred to bleed blue from...

I know that there is no life without love; 
Only a brutal half-life, shadowed, a ghost of an existence 
And I know that there is no love without life 
And I know, too, that without...

BURLAP and SATIN

Texture fine, woven design
Like harden tree sap
Rough is the burlap!!!
That's at my finger tips
Smooth is soft the satin as silk
The dress rapped around her waist

Burlap and satin

Give me such touch my reactions
Hard rough...

I’m with a partner, on occasion, if I’m lucky,
But just as luck is, it’s never there for long.
Family and friends are always around,
Yet no matter who’s there, alone I am.
Always the lover, never the loved,
The...

Grey and brown with coffee grounds and spillage,
Dripping pensive ochre on the rim,
Sombrely it slipped over the brink
And stank of rape and pillage.

How do I express my feelings to you?

Feel the rush

Of the energy

As we speed headlong

Down the crevasse

Of our dreams

Spiralling down

Through nightmares

In and out of light and hope

Then back into darkness

Then back into shadows

Whispering echoes

Screams and euphoric cheers

Insane laughter

Painful tears

Solace and solitude

Riotous places

Unable...

Plastic, weak, never entered my wildest of imaginations
Leather was present in fantasies of all natures
Food was exciting but hunger would prevent the further
Whips sound too, too painful but a close cousin to pleasure
Bondage without physical...

It was white and thick,
As I held it to light,
I could see the viscosed fibres,
woven intricately tight,
as I lovingly massaged its surface,
it felt smooth and flat,
they had treated it with chemicals,
to get all that,
now that...

Talk to me about birds trying to reach the fruits of the sky.
Talk to me about trees moving towards seasons' colors,
Seeding the wind, green leafs gnarled falling on founts of the earth.
