Long Perspires Poems

It said "Listen now and listen well, you who looks upon what's mine:
The ground between the aureole round the ring of tree and vine.

You look upon a fairy ring and stand before it in this...

My Cousin Chaos

What cousin incest I am my own chaos
too much unpredictable prediction not to be cosmic
comical maybe the anarchy the drive for comprehension
and so much honest serious hilarious enjoyment

I am related to myself brother...

Tips slide on smeared plastic
A decision is mulled 
With a mantra of “Ah”
A muscle curls on lips

A ritual is completed
A summoning has been made
A Wizard scribes a spell
And stabs a wand into parchment

An alchemist perspires...

6.   Matsukaze 

("Noh" is an ancient Japanese style of 
drama, broadly similar to Elizabethan
tragedy.  "The Wind in the Pines" is
my version of a well-known Noh play.)

Despite 
the vigil I kept, night on...

Silent Parade - Anacreontic Verse

He curses sunrise,
it starts his demise.
He lies in bed,
wishing he was dead.
As somber thoughts creep,
they hurt him too deep,
he just wants to weep
and forever sleep.
His mind's gone berserk,
as the pills don't...

In France back in the middle ages
The courts ordered the execution of a cow
How come you're probably asking
Sat on a farmer and squished him that's how

Larry Lewis ran the 100 yard dash
Setting a record at...

the moon swoons in enfolding arms of sky -
a glassed-out world I cannot touch,

seen through pain and this pane
my four sycamores, sick to the core and wanting more

than the moon-smitten sky is willing or able...

There I stood, flushed: gripping
a  diaphanous pelvis of his guitar, 
he rips a pulpy drool of velvet notes…
glossy under a roulette of lights,
saucy on the parquet floor upon
an artist's feet :his  body movement...

Poetic pyramids 
Built on sins 
Built with lies
Stolen from within 
Lies which spin
Causing you to stay
Even when these phrases
Are really giving you
Reasons to run away
From my poems written
In a kiss
Comparing your voice
To bird songs
This is...

Hate boils within like wildfire,
It consumes, it devours, it perspires.
The distant bus seems miles away,
As I'm consumed by a corrupting desire.

Money and fame, they are all-consuming,
They make us forget the simple things.
We forget love, we...

Heat rises in swirls
from dusky earth to be drenched
in sky's watery embrace.
Her body sizzles
as she craves for his raw touch.
Fully roused, he leaps in thrill.

Fresh droplets of rain
seep through the layers of soil 
 into...

Her skin....
The smell of jasmine in the brisk sun 
as her body perspires in the warm sunlight

Her Hair....  
Strength. Long medium brown soft lucious 
like the color of a licoris stick
the smell of olives...

His mind is imprisoned by a cage.
He is framed with sentences handed down by strangers.
He is alone even though the other voices fill his head.
He is unaccompanied, even with the crowd in his cell.
He argues...

To kiss a burning mouth where hunger yearns
And free earthly bonds lovers conceal
To fall into love's arms without concerns
Where touches are tender and senses feel
The needs of time disappear from desires
As the tongues of passion...

As I write, the pen trembles,
Mumbles my mind's verdicts.
Upon my thoughts, it stumbles,
Claims my Ideas are convicts.


As I imagine, my soul I bribe,
And hire it to channel my visions 
with ease.
By tides, I'm swayed, away...

Her radiance springs to me completely
Her heart perspires upon me neatly
I take all of her that I can grab
My heart, I’m sure, she will never stab

She brings me a giant smile each day
Filled with kisses...

What have I become;  no more can I recognize myself.
In the dark my shadow burrows beneath my skin in stealth.
When I look in the mirror there's a phantom of evil.
I have sucked in eyes,...

Would you make my phone ring?

Would desire retake the wild as it perspires like the legend is written yet the times go unaffected?

Babe, the world gets no smaller, 

I am the right caller,

no one could...

She loved Anchovies and jelly,
“She’s a wonderful girl,
said her boyfriend Earl,
But her breath is a little bit smelly”.
