A Piece of the Pie
This was only our second date...
A Black Tie Affair...
...Set against an incredible view,
vineyards, waterfalls,
a plentitude of flower beds,
all just outside a charming postcard Town.
This indeed was a serious event,
anyone who was anyone...
and my date...were here.

Not a Vibe
'Play back that sound',she explained with bitterness,
'What's wrong?',I questioned,
I found out that she was severally harrassed at a conference,

Just sitting on the bed,I...

When dawn drifts into enchanted meadows
The meadows are charmed and filled with delight.
Presently steeped in the darkness of night
The cool air is warmed as a new day has begun.
She peeps over the horizon, hail praise to the sun.
I settle...

We Reason, Therefore 'Litter Be'
We Reason, Therefore “Litter Be!” (1)
“Litter be, litter be, litter be, litter be!” (2)
Hear our future’s judgment, “Litter be! Oh, Oh, Oh!”

We find their footprints (left...

In a Word So
There's a point blank
Just south of Soulsville
where common pit desires exude
extreme ego ratios rotating on human gutlike
socioshadow experientials. Slow slug immuno
pain gestures cloud coilshaped reason
with limited intellirespect ids--only
that lonely by product of talking...

This Here and Now
A chain of events has lead me to this here and now,
it is a twisted chronicle and woeful history;
but, I will spare you the complete saga of my life.
I have spent part of my journey...

Vowel- Consonant- Contest
Aboard the event train I watched over the undulating scenery ahead.
Whose eyes see into shadows ogling the unknown
What a basically exhilarating time indeed.
What other panorama undresses before admiring glances.
Evening skies in many orangey shades...

Raspberry Kisses
Raspberry Kisses
Silent kisses throughout the air.
Just like the wild raspberry affair.
Nowhere to know how,
Can they be found!
Now they are here,
Only to me you appear,
Fragrantly simple and sweet,
From your head to your feet,
Melts-in-your-mouth, easy...

Blue Pegasus
Blue Pegasus flies in quantum zone
Spirit he is beyond Omni verse overtone
To cry he is prone
Because his mate is gone
He can do things humans can’t even dream
Yet that does not help his self esteem
Across celestial...

The day is done. Travel dispersed, no more roaming.

Days End
The day is done. Travel dispersed, no more roaming.
Between dusk and sunset, it’s the gloaming.
I settle to watch, inspired by that instant moment,
When day gives over to night a regal bestowment.
Lights begin to shimmer, as...

Forever Mysterious
I am drunk with beauty,
interludes of ecstasy engulf my spirit;
Reflected in bold strokes,
taking me into the realm of beauty.
This impression appear before me
with a childlike innocence
and yet like a child they
remain indifferent to what...

Village On the Rhone
Beside the placid waters of the Rhone
A classical village rises to meet the sky,
The magnificent steeple an inverted cone
Hoists a Saint Anthony’s cross to passersby.
The placid waters of the Rhone reflect
Tightly crowded flats along the...

to produce a phytohormone clone of Alicia Silvestone
honed from a fully grown breastbone and stray...

Two Souls Lost At Sea
Who am I to take her innocence.
To caress her untouched virgin fibers.
This is not a negative connotation of lust,
it's an intimate overtone to show affection.
I tell my heart to be patient,
yet it irks from the...

An Envied State
Envy eats at my eager overtone.
Airing aspirations of me alone.
Resenting ruse, requiring need.
Festering famine, for you I feed.
Covet creation, I crave carelessly.
Desiring deeply, damn fearlessly.
Greedily grasping for others gain
Invidious intrusion, idly insane.
Spitefully starving, stalking prey.
Jealously...

Bells
Multitudinous bells secern the tones
as may resound sharp bamboo xylophones.
Pulchritudinous bells have rhythmic ding,
others that linger with tedious ring.
Some little bells can echo a jingle
that surely bestow a Christmas tingle.
Quite many bells ting melodious chime
