Long Nectarous Poems

Do you remember?
We lay in the moonlight, exhausted and content,
Moments from perfection, skin glistening with moisture,
Salty and sweet from love - love so amazing
That it stunned us every time ...
Always better than before, and always...

Today,
there are no rubber ducks
or mother's marigold skirts
to hide behind
as we once did.

In their place,
lurking dark and hoary,
a bathtub mist
updrafts thick with loose spores,
and mildew veins
sprawling
behind caulked-over creases.

The day,
shrinking away heavy with time,
as a body
sagging
into
water.

Fall in love with a poet at your own risk.

She’ll woo your mind with serenading

notes and undress your defenses

behind metaphors and rhymes.

She’ll merge emotions with home-made

verses in a nectarous word play, opening

the mansion of your...

Broken Nevermore 

Out along a sunrise stroll, a garden’s early view,
I find the most enchanting scene of vibrant colored hue.
When there upon the walking stones with tattered wings I see,
a butterfly of saddened tears right...

Joan Marlowe was eight years old, and loved the smiling, happy people;
As green pines love chattering redbirds, when an orange sun is gleeful.

And yet, when some found they were too busy, Joan petulantly pouted,
Like the...

Lucy Locket lived amidst Lakeland Hills, where jay serenaded morning;
Like plum rainbows celebrate sunshine, with never any silent warning.

Lucy was merely twenty years old, like a peach rose, dusted with dew;
And she was also a...

Simone


I’ve yet to see her cry
Or wipe a tear from her eye

Though I’ve seen her dry sweat  off her brows

And that fan ain’t nothing 
She’s going on sixty-five

Burgundy lipstick stained teeth
Her kiss perched on...

Oh, such captivating concupiscence ...

I am lost to your thrall, your virtue's vassal
You are the perfect impish angel - raw sensuality, incarnate
You are hunger, insatiable and wry, and I your food
I watch you speak, breathe,...

The breath of Heaven is your sigh ... callow leaves of May tremble for its press on their cheeks, and giggle to slumber on pastel quilts of Autumn, for its sake alone. Should it not...

A sweet fragrance pierced the air
As I hold on to this moment.
Awaking at last to lonesome bedsheets
As I hear movement from within the kitchen. 

I arise to a foggy atmosphere
being probed by lucid sun beams
Flowing...

Hibiscus rays of light
herald the sun's stretch from slumber
in a bloom of ravishing red passion- 
Oh! how I despise dawn's blushing optimism
and lust for life!
for I am too young to cry
but too old not to

THE ADVENTURE, HER

Eyes
Deep, shimmering pools
Drowning fevered fools

Voice
Feigning tenderness, tragic
Whispered, lilting magic

Scent
Je Reviens enchanting
Left shamelessly panting

Hair
Bouncing raven tresses
Velvety elucidated guesses

Smile
Sparkling white gradients
Breath-stealing bright radiance

Lips
Succulent raspberry fruit
Passion's delicious route

Shape
Form-filling voluptuous esses
Curvaceously exploiting dresses

Skin
Satiny cappuccino wrapping
Exploring fingers, mapping

Taste
Tippy-top...

Sweet

Princess

sensual sass

oh virtue sublime

two perfect little bows

plump raspberries, fresh

tapered, moist lusciousness

wispy chili pepper spiciness pure

plucked in cool rain for love's intent

dew-dappled fruits of desire, inexorable.

Oh, like spinning the moon in your hands

there's naught but Luna's...

Verd meadow yon shadowed sequoias,
Patterns has lent the scope neath the petals,
Pixies wake on the tips of true choices,

Heightens an ochered sun amidst voices,
Looms about a faint trace of pink mettles,
Verd meadow yon shadowed sequoias,

Tattered...

Lost like unused syllables in unrhyming words
petals of frilled sorrow drip to the earth from weeping trees, 
crying each filigreed petal slowly, one by one, 
in cascades of gentle tears to their tender rest,
shaping billowing...

Compromising regard to life
thou being my curse
turning my world asunder 
in your regard I was lesser 
a presence in whispers



You the filch-er stole self 
the cadence of speech
seem as missives
reaching a velvet caress
raising expectation

skin

a lonesome word set above all others
provoking one to strain beyond the epithet
curious to discover the oracular journey

with colors blanded by prejudice,

Though sapient vision limps short,
And digs no eye into nirvana's fort;
Albeit most vivid dream’s flips stop, 
Instinct excels where iffy triers flop. 

And that sharper divining seer tells
Sweeter tales no deft lyricist's bells 
Ever rung...

A friend?!
Friend, oh to what shall I compare thee?
Thou art more lovely in the roughest winds,
Or shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Belching nectarous essence even in the searing sun!.
As iron sharpeneth iron!,
As the...

Now, I fall in love with every other guy i see,
What about my vaguely hollow plea?
You never cared, you never will,
You never see what's down the hill. 
Who cares, right?
As star crossed lovers, we weren't...
