Lipstick Remedy

Her red lipstick 
May feel good 
For a moment 
On your skin 

The way 
It blends in
perfectly 
With your tattoos 

But I blur 
Her memory 
When 
My lips 

Leave bruises 
On your neck 
While I feel 
The vibration 

Of your pulse 
screaming 
Underneath 
my fingertips 

Did she ever 
Make it a habit?
Meditating with 
How your voice cracked

When you said
“good morning”?

What about ditching 
Her responsibilities 
To pull the blanket 
Called your arms around her? 

Hoping the wonderful 
Heavy ache 
Of butterflies 
in her chest 

Didn’t dissipate
Like the smoke clouds 
That left 
your body 

Would she ever reminiscence
On the moment 
She stopped 
Guarding her heart? 

The moment 
She finally 
Let you undress 
Each layer?

Exposing 
Each flaw 
Every mistake 

The regret 
she swallowed 
For years
From dragging your heart 

Across 
the glass 
covered concrete 

But as she 
Held it 
That one summer 
In your backyard 

You became
Unclothed too
Yet unbothered
By the surrounding street lights 

Your pupils 
Began to drown 
As she pulled 
Each shard out gently 

The sting 
Was comforted 
Though 
By her touch 

Almost as if 
It depleted
All the toxins 
In your body 

Decomposing 
Unpleasant memories 
Old heartache 
Harboring demons 

But did you let her 
Restart 
Your system 
With her in mind? 

The pinky promises 
The lighthearted name calling 
The dancing in your flannel 
At 3am?

Or did you picture someone else? 

Because you hide 
The bruises 
On your neck 
While showing off red lipstick stains

Ashes

Charred wood and ash 
stink, after fires
in Garigal high-country.

A single crow cries
road-side, on a black tree-post
guarding road kill –
a round brown wallaby
with feet stuck-up.

Ash covers ash:
grey dust lies still...

until rain drizzles sweet liquid,
wets dirt, licks seeds, nudges life.
Seeds swell, unfold, 
lift leaves to prick the air :
grass-whiskers spring up.  

Fat globes of summer-rain spill 
between sandy soil-crumbs 
where roots sip  silver water.

One tomorrow, black-skinned scarred tree-trunks will sprout leafy chests,
and white cockatoos will screech graffiti over skies patched with clouds. 

Once more, warm lips of wallabies will graze over green grasses, 
nibbling: blessed again.

Premium Member Warlocks, Witches, and Wizards

Warlocks, witches and wizards appear,
as they do this time every year,
exposing craggy faces, screeching sounds,
and sowing blood magic as fear abounds.

Guarding my head with pillowed quilt
hoping my craven face won’t melt!
But I cry out panicked! Horrified!
They pass me by on their frightful ride.

White-hot power rends me paralyzed
and by despair and anguish traumatized.
Terror races through my iced blood
reverberating a tortuous thud.

Ghouls and zombies teeming around
burgeoning in and out around town.
I pray to survive till sun arises
and confront no more horrid surprises.

Halloween is suitably scary.
I am vigilant, and wary.
Once-a-year is enough for me.
I savor being eerie- and freaky-free!!

Eternal Verge


ravens croak
      applauding twilight	
larks churr
    saluting sunrise
		
a last dance over
an inverted verge.

a perpetual encounter
    the last mesh of murk
         against gleams of glow

held in abeyance,
    opposites wrangling
         like birth and demise
asking intricate questions
     preserve or discharge
          uncertain anxieties

ravens claim temporal flesh,
     their ravenousness relished,
dominant despotism
                     it seems.

yet our lark’s song resonates
                    stirring our species
influencing our intimate impressions,
     channelling subconsciously 
          our choice
               around that inverted verge 

        eternally guarding us
