Premium Member Fires, Unfaithful
heaven ...
is my prison ...
that dreamy, white tangle of
percale where your
limbs and mine weave sweaty magic -
a moon-daubed canvas of
pyretic passion, public ...
no shut-door, drawn-curtain modesty to
confine or make sacred ...
the danger of chance discovery...

Premium Member Oh Yes, I Think
I think I shall - oh yes, I shall
put you to words in books, et al
and share my scoundrel’s rationale
with those of impish-like morale
but pray you beg me love -
your coquette kiss, thereof …

Premium Member tear tracks -
is that all I am to you …

a tear on your cheek??
a (not-very-attractive) streak in your
Clé de Peau concealer?
a haggard line from eye-to-chin
that now spells my doom …
that drips to stain the
only white Armani dress...

a remembrance of the perfect girl
      the phantoms of a wakeless world

Premium Member moonspeak
your skin …

cornflow’r in the moonlite
through louvers that
slice you to tender shards
of opalescence
arranged like piano keys on
Egyptian percale
the sea of sheets we so
often drown in …
“oh baby” -
the way you say those words -
soft candle...

Premium Member dear Gustav -
oh ...

Gustav, how you pique the senses
          captured passion's plural tenses

lovers twined in percale folds
          caught supine...

Premium Member afterglow -
we ...
are immortal
you and i have made it so
our passions are spent
flesh and essences, swimming moonlight
drifting gently on a soft cloud of Giza percale
exhaling the cool breath of midnight
do you feel it ...
the euphoric release...

Long Winter Grass
The academy of long winter grass,
an education in the backyard.
I always thought I was better
than the sparrows,
thought nothing
of that black cat
looking for his lucky break
on our porch,
the neighbors’ bastard dog
at the fence playing puppy.
One day...

Premium Member Beauty Queen
Beauty Queen
Yes indeed, for all to see.

And what a doll you are.
Sun - lit colored ringlets in a row.

You do your little dance for the judges.
For all the world to see, you are the color...

Really Good Rap Song Horn Haiku
Really Good Rap Song Horn Haiku

There are scores and scores
Of stores that have gone away
Too much have to pay.

When small star twinkles
Will we see all the wrinkles
As each one mingles.

Can you mingle late
Because you did...
