Where to start?
But asleep is the hope of mine
In the shadows of my dreams
The crimson curtains have collapsed
And are cemented to the floor 
Entombed behind the stage of life
Petrified
Where to start 

Ardently athirst 
For this...

A second ago.
Yes just a second,
she was beautiful 
beyond comparison.
Not a wrinkle or a frown line.
Succulent lips, 
glowing skin.
Gorgeous hair 
cascading down her back.
Even her hands were elegant.
Men and women alike 
looked upon her with...

In my dreamy dream I am floating, defying gravity,
like a buoyant cloud I drift up and around the moon;
I sail and hover, suspended, just hanging,
and then, I am wandering the surface of the moon;
looking back...

Ebony cries as she closes her eyes,
lace up her thighs cutting her 
      lies down to size-
Crimson petals fall onto
jade thorns as she remembers

On the day he came to visit me there was nothing out of the ordinary
This day had started rather grey with rain clouds overhead
But when I saw him at my door to me this day...

I’m just a lazy and  c r a z y  pussycat, 
proud to be sassy, pampered and fat-
BANDIT'S my name,

Rose decided to plant a flower
For every person she loved –
Beneath the soil, beneath the shower,
Her seeds began to develop and sprout.

Each small seed led to a new shoot,
Springing up from the rich ground,
Rose was...

The altitude and magnitude of reality give us hope.
Freedom inspires beauty and the universe’s 
constellations reveal inner sincerity.
I’ve seen the mountains and been to the reverie in 
an emerald field and no matter the distance...

Do you think I don't know you after all these years,
Sitting so quietly as if listening with raised ears?
Am I supposed to pick you up for such loving posture,
And reward you with a treat to...

Hand picked for agreeable body attitude and height,
Eleven boys carry twenty two clubs to move,
First with the right arm club we swing a full circle drill;
Divided we practice these runs first right and then left.

Beyond romance 
of one-flesh* ecstasy…
above sweet expectations
during marriage-vow recital…
may God’s love lift you up together
bound by His passionate affection, divine
toward blessed, blissful, beautified union… verily triumphant!

When facing turmoil 
after grand wedding date…
from struggles and adjustments

My slumbered eyes in endless night hours
make shady groves of translucent memories. 
Outlining  contour of crescent moon, 
dark figures meander my muffled thoughts. 

The starry sky suddenly changes
from turquoise blue  to champagne color...

Wrapped ...
In dark wonder
Lost to the moon
In mists of madness

We ...
Are conflagration
You burn my blood
The fiery chaos, coursing

Molten forms in synchronicity
A libidinous engine, erotique
Revving inside you ...
I, the sudoric hand to your glove

Crimson nails rake...

The cauldron in heat fumes with alchemy chemicals,
Careful she decides to spread her witches’ stronghold,
To the palace walls and the kingdom she learns to control;       
Mixture for His Highness...

A cascade of autumn leaves lying scattered all around
in faded pale light, nostalgia is tucked in some bygones
forest air still redolent of pink azaleas profound, 
reclaiming back those moments in images and icons.

Quietude endows hushed mystical space
Admonishing words have no role to play—
Look how in solitude its posture bends
Bowing in deference to calming intellect.

Listen to the utterance of wailing heart
Where grieved voices subtly resonate
In stygian echoes of...

LOOKING IN

Morning,
Awake yes,
Alive, on the fringe,
The dream again,

The image isn’t mysterious,
I’ve been excluded,
His life isn’t inclusive,
I peer in a widow pane, 

Looking for him,
My home is vacant,
As is my heart, 
But sharing the house,

As if...

Oh, Bandit, what's your impish task
While sporting, sly, that little mask?

You seem quite innocent and frail
Yet the kitchen tells a different tale

Floor all messy, the counters, too
Paw prints that led straight to you

But while I...

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...

Love, I did not see in your charming spouse.

Last night sat on my head to spit venom; 
Claimed you were good for nothing; down under. 
Beggar...
