Premium Member Proof
We are the days that we’ve become. 
moments dripping gifted from
the lounging clocks in rolling melted sightings, 
given by the gifted madness of a soulmate’s fightings. 

Our lives wrapped up in phrases coined
in books like,...

Monofilamania
It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.

It sharks, 
unpeels more gut more quickly
than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches
in and out:
casting,
winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything

Robinson Crusoe
I killed my friend,
I never wanted,
Do not see me cruel,
I did it for love.
We both ran naked
Under this influential shower.
No one uncoupled his lips
Against this faint madness,
We were indebted,
Either had to earn the prize.


It was...

Smothering Gloria given Privileges
Feathers sparkled lustrous leaves
crowded in a blisterful branch
glazed pink lusted sprinkling waves
smothered a idyllic luxury
Blizzard armies of service
strategically polished in sparkling
sparkle polish 
for a whispered gloria 
held sacredly 
Born in lacy recklessness 
with scarlet lolita...

Premium Member Neverland
On the south-western side of the old mission school,
near the corner of First Street,  where blackberries grew
a field claimed by youngsters was crosshatched with tracks.
It was riddled by gophers and, nettled with fox-tails
and the...

A summer house-boat party - Matey - toss those cares overboard. The scout boat found a deserted cove so the party can be privately fierce.

The lake's broken reflections of moonlight look like jewels on black...

1000 White Lines
1000 white lines sat,
There on her arms.
She covered them up,
So no one would stare.
 
She wore her long sleeves, 
Everyday of the week.
Hoping no one would notice,
Everyone just thought she was cold.
 
She seemed so...

I remember having gone to bed a little tired,
And soon fell into a deep sleep.
Night chill prickled my skin.
I felt unusually light.
Wasn’t sure what had come about,
But was shocked at the eerie sight.

In the place...

Glittery Oblivion
The corridor is darkly invasive
usurpation knows not where it steers,
my nightgown caught on wildfire, 
ending was indubitably a flimsy inferno
dreaming phantasma went up in smoke
i was flying naked in my captured head,
blissfully feverish in comfortable...

Tick Tock
At first nothing but silence,
Nothing but hush all around.
The night in full compliance,
The breath held no sound.

The clock was then ticking,
With its steady rhythmic beat.
The cat its furry paws licking,
Outside air held night’s heat.

The tick...

Girl Behind the Mirror
She really wanted to cry after the last night,
Leaving a horrible feeling inside

She kept quiet,
She didnt want the family to fight.

She wanted to go away from the pervert as soon as she could,
But her signals...

A Daughter's Wounds
They say that women were meant to endure
And so i endured a thousand slicing words from my father
Words, that prickled like needles being tugged into wooden boards
Words that ruptured much more than my soul

Letter To the Judge
dear Judge
if you were me, would you do what I did

because of the roots of my hair
some shadowy gulf gods got hold of me
and they laughed while they held me
in the howling fjord where my...

Listen my children
and you shall hear
on our NewMoon ride
with Paul
the Wickedly Queer.

Paul, my dear,
beloved muse
conserved his loopy horse
for just GoodNews.

His forest lanes
restored rich in color
resilient and dynamic
yet aging unfortunate duller.

Paul the Queer
rode hard his horse

A Lover's Lament
Clockwork angels control my mind,
They’ve locked me here for all time.
And maybe one day I’ll come to find,
That love is the lock that keeps me here.

Death, it tends to haunt me,
For my soul has faded...

Dark Creepy Night
Laying down, out in the open,
Here, in the stillness of the night,
Looking up to the stars shining bright,
The gentle breeze blowing at the fabric,
That covers the palest parts of my skin,
Taking in the sights of...

There once was a chance
I didn’t take, a path
I chose not to travel.
It seemed that the wide
And well-used road
Was safer than the gravel.
I followed the way
That many had trod
And always watched ahead,
Never looking aside
Or trying...

Your Quest
I lost myself in your quest,
Fate denied what was mine..

Burning within was a heart that died,
Leaving scars that did not lie..

Leaving me helpless,
In this world full of dead..

You went ahead,
Driven by your desires..

I was left...

The Spider and the Cubicle
thumb tacked , tackled some say by the thumb,
  a
 bullied pencil pusher sitting upright at mid afternoon.  
so thin his ergonomic spinal robot as he leans back 
in his plastic office chair.

Distilling Vapidity
Pickled percolating bile
Prances up my prickled throat
Whiskey guides my exile
While arrogance digs a moat
Brain reeking like a dog pile
Mighty flush to spin that float

Jackhammers ravage my brain
As my eyes toil to flutter
Elements of vast disdain

Beauteous be the clusters are a significance

All In
ALL IN

Sometimes things shimmer 
and you have to know why, 
like the way water lingers on rocks
at the edge of a mountain brook. 
It catches the sun a hundred ways
and you are frozen in delight.

December Ghost
Shivers all over the atmosphere
Fevered by a bizarre spirit
Enrobbed in a shroud of grey, hovering
In the dry weird hemisphere
Within the graveyard curtain of mist
And lurking behind the skeletal frames of trees!

Have you too seen the...

Last cuddling, she tired to besiege the intense in vain,
  Caged parrot still repeating his hobby-horse of eternal matrimony,
Sealed paper, journey of no timing, oh! King you bereaved and unleashed acrimony,
