Born on a spring cyclone from Kansas' stormy rain,
awoken now in low growl, slowly reversing.,
down a low ramp, like a movie star rehearsing,
at new shore in sunshine with an exotic name.

Just like a kid in...

One is already living...

~~Chronic Pink~~ 
(Parents Peril * The Nightmare)


Evil sits and whispers - sweet lullabies
Chimes within my head,
Damnation scratches at my conscious
Of what was and is!

ASLEEP……………….

Water runs down my toes
Rain taps at my windowpane
A fear; I relive...

He's in the line for a quick pick up,
it's early in the morning and not much of a line

and he needs some milk and toilet papers, says
“I've had better days, this shall pass.”

A restricted freedom is not
a true freedom at all...
to allow the mind to think less;

Stands a monstrous scarecrow.  
Of a fungoid parched face and a half baked gaze.
Of shrunken smoked sockets and drunken knocked eyeballs.
Bulged cheekbones force...

EYE SHADOW
-----------------
WOW!!!! 
I love the color and how
It accentuates the tone of your skin
Truly, it brings out the brilliance
Beaming bright from your face
As I gradually gaze
I lose myself in a daze
Simply amazed at the light
Leaping...

Cool Chuck 





The first time-- on the school dance floor
 Feeling hot, yet thrilled and much more

 You’ve been there…tortured, waiting but looking around
 A guy saw me hanging on the wall, just staring at...

With the green lines of lemon leaves

It was a pink drawing of dense desires

Rising from the dream and sweat pearls

Hand in hand at the hyacinth infusion

For a new pulsating poetry of life that

frantic talent
among willow  shadows
capsized boats
in trawls meshes
the spiders spinning brocades

lights at the window
someone waiting for us
an ardent desire floating in the air
set free
the moon soal wandering

a cock
sifting the stars with kikeriki
in the lake full...

The vague patrolling recollection
sits like a fat white swan on her nest,
cuddling the unborn nakedness, fragile, soundless!

He caresses her wings, 
she beats them frantically
as his cold old lips meshes and folds.

Dragging, he goes, she crackles...

Sweet pleasures kindle a family of hearts
whispering amen for ripples of affection
on homely broths, glazed with smiles
to wrap dawn and night-time into a vessel
of holy gifts, spilling naturally for all roofs 
across continents: blessings of...

That skin-and-bone-like,
Chocolate-colored veteran, 
Fragile personality accession;
Ascends tallest of palms, 
Committed to toddy-tap, 
As it’s his hereditary profession...!

Driving upward and down, 
Like a smart willing monkey, 
He reaches the highest of height;
Sitting over the petite petioles,...

  So soft…so subtle…
Yet so indelible, so mesmerizing 
  When your lips touch mine...
I soar on wings of love for you 

As we lay by the firelight

Blood rushing in, filling every pore
Her heart meshes, blends in, develop
A flash, a pulse, each breath does explore

An enticing glow embellishes
Her heartstrings tug and pull divinely about
I feel overwhelmed, she grants...

Summertime soothes and refreshes,
Softens our rough edges,
Lifts us from life’s dredges
And grants fresh feel meshes.
Spring announces time to go out
By popping newness all about.
Spring wakes all our senses
So we drop droopy defenses
And allow summer’s coming...

Boost the gleam and dazzle
sibylline embers shine in the gnome jade
spangled goddess sparkle

It meshes cosmic toggles of 
golden clusters

on the burning dusk of a phoenix's wings.
chorus tunes that croon kudos.

shepherds and seraphim
translucent term chorus...
