Long Lis Poems

O albatross guide my loosed soul  
from the shipwreck seized by sandy shoal

persuasive Polar Star in quiet pull
a sailor’s tired eyes gone dark 
I will dream while we fly 

on wings that span horizons...

"Psychobabble"
 


She plants the seeds
in Her mind 
through the 
fathomless
oceanful wells
of Her eyes
saltwater falls
over the unchartered
sharp edges of 
Her tight boundaries
to the playing fields
Elysian
where She waits 
impatiently 
in all Her glowing 
warm-skinned dreams
black words turn

Les mots se heurtaient incapables de s’ordonner
Je ne me force pas oui je me force de m’exprimer 
Je sens ma main flétrie par un silence impérissable 
Est-il venu le temps de me venger ou d’extérioriser...

An ode to Quebec City

On the green bank of a mighty stream - 
A lofty aerie - a fair city beam
With stately air a queen, she stands - 
A gem - over these most forest...

Sleepwalker


And in the darkest sweeping wings is held all probable
The night of dreamings; wished embraces of gossamer senses ponder miracles 
And leave their mark; ever in hope....

She is waiting

Pale in naked moon lit sexual stretches

a thought to look around
throw my book to the ground
as my dreams give way to sound
but its silence now

Prized for perfumes and medicines,
Rainbow personified & God’s messenger,
Resting the souls of dead women,
Decorum of the graves,
Delight of the ancient artists.

Blooming on Minoan Walls,
Sculptured in stone at Karnak.
Living memories of the French revolution.

It begins at an apex point,
a hand that’s reaching down,
a dove flies freely below this,
above a divine crown.
You all know what King’s sitting there,
in white robes and halo,
the sun comes in the morning
though shades of...

To me, yea, Iris is invisible, 
The scent of yours all pervading, 
Behold your face all-rich,

Membrane of the eyes,

Light that...

This is the third
time
I've planted
climbing roses

The first two failed
to fulfill
my romantic fantasy
of
efflorescent roses
flaunting their
naughty
frilly pink bodice
and hooped skirts
draped in loops
like gingerbread
scroll-work
or fleur-de-lis
gamboling,
sauntering
across the white
French trellis

I guess I'm really a
fairy trapped
inside this 5' 8"
terrestrial body
I love...

I walked into my living room
to catch up on some reading.
I set upon my favorite chair
and to my surprise it started speaking!

A grumbling and rumbling from beneath
and the chair huffed, "Do you mind!

Lis and Me

I
picture
Lis and me
In twenty years,
she, a grandma, and
I, a great-grandmother
perhaps!  We’re on a warm beach.
She’s sipping juice while I’m, instead,
munching on a snack.  Naturally,
we’ll be doing what we do best. ....

I.
The wrothful man has regotiated his saliency,
The humble man has neglected his post of "Your Excellency",
Let the pirate look through my one eye of transpareency,
Hope my superman sings along to those dracula's frequencies,
These are not...

Stunned I stare from a rocky shore
As eagle architects swoop and soar.
Avian aerobats stretch my mind.
Carving arcs in cerulean air
Building an aerial cathedral

Framing clear high walls across the sky
With headlong three-sixties upside down
Form gothic spandrels...

Le souci et la sollicitude bavent chez moi, 
Puis peu à peu condensent en la foi
Que mon encre ne coule que pour toi,
En compagnie de mon soin du meilleur aloi.

Plein mon sein sont les mots...
