I Felt So Out of PlaceThe sunshine and singing birds, awoke me that fine day;
And warmth caressed my face, as the wrens began to play.
I stretched luxuriantly in my bed, while smiling broadly,
At the gaiety of beautiful summer, in all...

Liaison Dangereuse
“liaison dangereuse”
Tear a thin line
along my skin
softly velvet
finger tips
no nurses gloves
down my neck
along my throat
with something
sharp like words
on a tongue
like I’m
one of the
gentility heard
soft as a block of butter
hard from the fridge
I'll...

The Monroe MoonIn glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon hunger;
their dewy eyes blurred by the sawdust of stardust
pseudo-princess-pleasure-seekers
—drama daring...

Awaking From Stupor
When the enchanted
jailors of life,
siezed my soul
and those
sepals unfurling
manipulative
manuscripts
ceased to
script a twinkle
above screams,
I became a
slave to my

chained by
granite wings of
masked butterflies,
who...

The Green ArmchairI was a pleasant, conscientious librarian, whose world consisted of books,
As a world of fragrant beauty, can be found in the glossy, honeyed nooks.

Wild Moon of MagicI was quite the cunning magician, famed for my illusions and sleight of hand,
Like cool tricks that jade green nature plays, that often we don't understand.
Days were filled with wonder and enchantment, like purple, star...

Her sword

Smiles I RememberI was an experienced family therapist, helping families maintain functionality,
As wandering, starlit seasons maintain all nature, being rooted in practicality.
I loved preserving healthy relationships, that foundation of healthy societies;
And kept up a fruitful dialogue between...

fervently fabricated
with snowflakes of
greedy gloom,
stealing royal violets
from the smokey estuaries
flowing beneath the...

Between Things and Colors1The sun sank into rusty chains
Ancient Mesopotamian constellations begin to spin
Shadows in the bushes
Sidewalks walking from the back
Cetoniinae trapped in glass
Your gaze runs through the sky

Tesla cars crossing the border
The dust of...

With diamond dahlia arcs, flowering an orchid boon
Sprinkling love of french perfumed spells and cocoa mystique,
Flickering in neon scented star...

Rose RhapsodyMy rose bushes are lusher than ever this year.
For soaking rain and warm days abound,
Though with too little sun I fear.
Still, they give me many blooms that astound.
Their gentle glow lightens any despair,
On return...

The End of TimeThe End of Time
The passing time in a stillness of passage
Blown soft with wanting
Furlongs in the corridors of sighs
Are dreams of mine
Left unsleeping
Repeating the hail of trumpeted cries
Another time
Touched by the paraded flowers
Of promises
To pick...
