The Dancing: the Last Dance
Was it a cruel twist of fate?
Sneering, laughing chance?

A sickening, sober, foreboding sign.
Wretched chance it was not,
This time was by insidious design.

that sacred MonoTheism
smugly explains 
and exalts AnthroOwner Privilege
to ordain,
buy and sell
Earth's health-care rights.

Premium Member A Clementine Duet
When tuscan tunes of twilight,
cascade as clementine confetti, 
She searches for secret silhouettes,
swirling to the symphony 
of sunflower serenades.

In the midst of faded fields,
marigold memories crawl back,
refraining yesterday’s
tangerine dreams.
Swans glide in
sullen grace,
illustrating a saffron 
backdrop...

Across us shall lie,
A splash of Air

Happily-Ever-After Eternally
Happily-Ever-After Eternally

Dreams…ah, there are so many.
Which shall I share?  
The impossible dream—
Which shall I choose?
The attainable dream—
Where does dreaming take me?
Do I even have a dream?
Am I too old to dream?

Do Friends Mix As Lovers

And I quiver, electricity shoots through my nerves

Hungry Diana
Daily, Diana coils herself 
In a dirty corner on top
The ever patronized Mararaba
Pedestrian bridge
 Cold mingling in her ribs 
Like a poisonous snake, she 
Hissed and turned thru and fro.
Hunger, offending strongly, her stomach

Betrayal of Letting Go
Time passes so slowly,
laughter seeks solitude-
Breaking hearts of the holy,
devoid of sinister gratitude.

Reservation of feeling love again has expired,
seeking not what leads to joy leaves me tired. 
I fear only what lies ahead as the...

In the Dark and Lonely Days
In the dull and lonely days
I hate to wake my soul up
from the bed of goofy thoughts 
as I see my hollow abdomen
refraining to produce hunger juices
and my eyes dripping the waters
of yesterday's blurry thoughts.
