Long Impishly Poems

Interpretation:

Lying beside my cold, stale ashes
I feel the dawn preparing her day
With little, hushed peaceful gestures

Then upon opening my eyes, I greet her crimson smile
Slowly peering over the horizon, whilst over I turn
And say good...

Adulterous besieging capstone damnation
exploitation foists groping, heaving
insidiously jerking
knowingly lunges
machinations notoriously nymphomaniacal 
officiating penile quests
rapaciously, sadistically 
tenaciously, unstoppably 
vasocongested wickedness 
Xerses yawped zeolously.
*************************** 
All throughout history of  man/woman kind
ascendent civilizations extensively gouged, 
impailed, kindled, murderous...

The last Night of October

It's that time, again, the last night of October, 
the last glow of twilight nearly gone.
Children race out and about,
winding through the streets and alleys.

Brightly colored costumes, 
mom's old wig, dad's...

I stand neck-high tall
within the quicksand
of my infirmities.
Green and gaunt,
I hesitantly genuflect.

Ravaged tendons and corpuscles
are barely breathing
within the vacant corridors
of a soiled carcass.

My ardor for vindication
has been abandoned.
I presently refrain from accepting
the consultation of 
umbrous...

Dolphins

Watch the aquatic mammals reigning warm waters
Riding ocean waves zestfully flexing playful behavior
Jumping high in air performing acrobatic maneuvers
Synchronizing movements impressing fond watchers.

Be dazzled by their graceful moves peeking up for air
Turning around buoyantly raising...

He toddles toward the pebbles, tumbling the smooth stones over
in his four year old palms, rubbing them like Aladdin’s lamp, tossing
them back into the mix, impishly shining with the zest of a boy.

He sees the...

Their young strong-willed son,
ever resourceful,
has been given "time out" for bad behavior.
There is no noise coming from the room.
After two hours, 
the mother grows concerned.
Why has there been
none of the usual clamor
by him to be...

I listen to my shadow as it wakes
Contemplating its solitude, hearing how peacefully it
Settles over dawn’s breath, and how it looks upon
Last night’s fire, now a stain upon the earth

I listen to the sky cleft...

She haunted me as a child,
Staring quietly from her watercolor world. 
Her strange presence called me. 
Powder-white skin and rouge cheeks,
Pencil-thin brow over 
Dark-rimmed eyes 
Shedding a single tear,
A pale rose between slender fingers,
Seeking its...

T’was the night before Christmas - //with apologies//
Oh, no – not again
The dreaded hoof pounding
another visit from “him”
I must shutter the windows
and lock all the doors
sound proof the room
of the kid who still snores
the dog...

I dreamt a dream that renewed kindred memories
Rekindling past passions of moonlit love-themes,
Enamoring love-embers blooming heartfelt longings,
Crooning hints-romantic~ life’s a beauteous dream;

When merrily you enthralled me in springs of yore
Fetching yesteryears’ treasured keepsakes to fore
Lauding...

DISTURBED MOMENT

In this sudden moment
I’ve a simple wish to walk about spreading love
      everywhere
Oh, the thought seems so...bright, so…sunny
Yet – and I cast this flash aside – 
A thought in...

Adorable QuiQui

A green-feathered, yellow head beauty,
that’s my prized pet parakeet, QuiQui.
Even when she’s often crabby and snappy,
she succeeds in making me extremely happy. 

QuiQui loves dipping and diving into her bird bath,
and hanging from a...

Water Sprite

A
Water sprite dances
across colorful prismatic waves
Curls of shimmering violet ride
across the liquid crystal sea
unscathed

Impishly
Swaying to twilight's love song
enchantingly perfumed in flowering blooms
Of succulent orange waterstone daisies
crawling, the sandy edge as a well made
costume

A
Wet humidity...

"Watching and Waiting"

six sets of watchful eyes peer impishly
surveying each move my footprint takes
they try to appear waiting quite sheepishly
as I stroll into the kitchen, the carpeting earthquakes.

twenty-four feet hurriedly stand to touch the ground
stalking...

Two hearts estranged, walk pensively
Their hands don’t touch and eyes are glazed
Talking in monosyllables
Mere gestures of noblesse oblige

A common friend creeps upon them
Tip toeing barefoot noiselessly
He holds two feathers in his hands
Impishly tickling each in...
