  vexed, looking in, looking out, on the edge of places to go
  thrang in thrall of other realms, banners furling, batons flung

DAUGHTERS

Opposites presented by Goddess
in talons of Eagle
         on wings of Dove
Equally loved

A torrent from a fierce black cloud
  yang frothing waves in a storm

Shades of leaves wavering from mauve to ember
colour my lavender spirits in days of November.
When lustrous autumn blankets silently reap,
my glorious desires in ecstasy drench me deep.

A corridor of withering dandelions in dreams
simmers soothing secrets...

First comes winter. The hardest to survive.
Cold and barren; the frost eats you alive.
Branches of hope bare; leaves of love decayed,
Around your heart and soul, you’ve built a barricade.

Next is the spring; winter gone at...

Lustrous laureled leaves in autumn silently reap,
Brown bland blisters of trampled grey soil in bay,
Glorious golden glee blankets my dreams in sleep.

Withered warm whispers in wet pastures seep,
Midway merging November winds to Winter neigh,
Lustrous laureled...

If only you knew the width of his love,
The breadth of his love, and you simply knew how…
How he sighs, and how his dark clouds of sighs 
Explode; and how flood does his head-high rise;...

As a young man, I cast off my line 
And sailed into life's sea 
My destination was unknown 
Just happy to be free 

I oft sailed troubled waters 
Furling sails til the time when

A shimmer of scales moves iridescently
in porch light, flying over nicked knuckles,
falling to grass milky white.

Detached, a rod jerked to deep water,
we follow the blade blooming belly to vent--
fingers pluck viscera like harp strings, cut
deeply...

I try to smile,

But the more I smile, the more my eyebrows curl.

Now I need to speak, but I don’t think I can speak without shouting!

I’m rocking a bit now.

Which is making the floor shift...

I do, say and say again
I am the rock star of the ring
I risk my life again and again for fame,
Some might think of my passion 
As just being poetic and practical

My feathers would flutter in the wind, past the angels and the moon
The wings would lift me off this place called Earth. 
I would drift high into the sky...

Twilight waved me sadly sighing, adieu,
Furling her rosy hue; cautioning me.   
Earie boardwalk creaks near the white sand beach,
But alone I dream here with piercing pains. 

The label I hide on the wine...

I am filled with awe 
Everytime I look at you
A wondrous kiss of view
That comforts and cradles
All we see and feel
To breathe in and keep
A frame that moves
Holding life infinite
After burning the night
The day does...

MY FIRST PATRIOTIC


SOLDIER


Thoughts drift towards another world
Mind starts thinking in different fold

Lets you down with no hope for

Moments spent were really happier
Day they left eyes were full of tears

Impurrturbably Above it All

Hail, Ginger Majesty on high,
where on your royal ledge you lie.
Occasionally a glance you throw
On us unfortunates below,

Up comes the wind, the leaves tumbling down
Furling and swirling as the wind comes puffing
When Falling down make not the slightest sound
Forming tapestry of scarlet, yellow, russet and...
