A Dream of a Rainbow Coloured Family

A dream of a Rainbow coloured family

In the ocean there is a raging storm 
And a lot of boats 
With rudders that are shattered,
Compasses lost, sails that are torn.
And dreams that are faded or tattered
With...

Naive Faith

Dripping wet weeping  gold droplets imaginatively spun on elm trees,
a less than poetic splatter on saturated loose grit plain ground overtrodden 
to stun the half asleep swooning sapphire riser to allegiance without pietism,

Earth Round

There once was a man with Trumpian crown
so heavy it caused him to frown
when he gave it away
some folks say to this day
it grew lighter while revolving 
more democratically healthy around.

There once were most men...

Fewa In a Mug of Coffee

A moment on the Cyber Café at Fewa Lake
				
1.
In the Mug of the Fewa Lake
Reflecting the pure blueness of the sky
With the fluttering of the Fishtail
My eyes sparkle with 
The taste of organic coffee
That chills...

Lost Lake Odessa

My world spins round
too fast most times
from Greek deep roots
on Black Sea ports
crossing Jordan's River
on Catherine's Great
trains meet sailboats
greeting sea planes
flying off to sports unknown
throughout Lake Odessa Highway.

Where Ottomans
blend Spanish matadors,
heroes for Earth's day
and night...

He Lost Wind of Her Sails

He Lost Wind Of Her Sails

In the ocean of his mind,
always turbulent,
there sits a Bermuda triangle,
ships being lost, swallowed,
for he was once
a ship lost,
swallowed,
never to be heard
or seen, too,
especially with his ex.
In his coral kingdom,
bright...

Butterflies

They slip in unnoticed
  just below the burning rays of the sun solstice
  lighting on the last flowers of summer bare,
  sweet nectar wafting in the heavy laden air,
colors brilliant, glowing, coy

Islands In the Stream

Islands in the Stream

Islands linked together like forged argent charms, 
In straights of silent, surging currents,
Where Watchtowers of Fresnel lens sound fog sirens
Where sacred shoals harbor shame forgiven;
Lightships built high on cribs and Keys of...

Hark

The captain spoke to the sick and starving
As he bobbled on the bow
And began
We will go there
Pointing his crooked finger as his dark, salty body dropped 
But with each upsurge he made another point
You are...

The Queen Has a Navy that Floats in Her Gravy

The Queen has a navy
That floats in her gravy,
It’s sharp and its clear,
But it’s sure tough to steer,
For the rudders get stuck
In that thick, grayish muck,
And the lads in the stern
Have a penchant to yearn
For...

The Rib

Love at first sight was the 
language she spoke
A sight to behold
to the angels she woke
A creation with broken mold
from the Divine
The description of beauty
branded in the mind
A angelic appearance 
her presence defines
What to do...

Follow the Poet

Follow the poet to the bottom
Their scrivened souls lead there
Electric verbs and climatic curves
Stoking notions of hoisted up hairs

Winding down the patchy canyon
To laurel beds on librettos grind
Waterfall nerves and augury spurs
Urging seshat to wield...

Erin Go Braless

From tiny gals with itty-bitty bippies
to larger ladies with super-dooper droopers,
we curse the “men” who design underwire iron maidens.

My “pointers” don’t bounce
(as a friend observed),
so why submit to torturous braziers?

I’m glad they don’t droop –
makes...

The Perfect Dawn

I'll softly sing a lullaby this night
Sadly howling at a mournful moon.
Be still my heart of grieving blight
The perfect dawn is coming soon.

I'll light a candle in the dark
A yellow beacon of despair.

God Tastes Like Snackcakes

caught beneath a nautilus
rudders spinning, cutting my breath
into bubbles that pop on the surface
i never thought i'd get my wish
when i asked to taste the dead sea

salt and spit and sweat and piss
i'm drowning in...

Bravo

Inspired by "All a man really wants, is a girl who looks good in a bikini." - Jack Freestone

A burlesque performer named Gieter
Decided her act would be sweeter
If she wore a bikini
Peep holed, teeny weenie
She’s...

I Fell Into a Glass of Wine

my feet same the cries of deer in the morning,
disturbs the existence of aged wine,
 much too
 drank, while the smoke of elation,
 almost non-existent
 it hits you across the cheek
 and entail questioning
What did...

The Jellyfish and Me

They threw me off a pirate ship
Into the path of a giant yellow jellyfish.

She had been crying for a bunch of
unsavory fools had thrown her off
another ship

Into the path of rudders that would

What Might Have Been

It's said a rising tide will lift all ships
And from what I have seen I've found that true
But also comes the wind that blows and whips
And sometimes sinks only a ship or two

For ships are...

Sailing Boats

If I could tame the wind that fills the sail,
And harness the propulsion of the waves,
And imitate the screaming voice of gulls,
And synchronise with rudders and with oars;
Then I would know the secrets of the...

We'Re the Invisible People

We are the ones out behind the scenes,
Working everyday…,
Those who should be famous for everything
But got nothing fancy to say

Our world is better than that of others,
It’s almost like we’re not here
Those who man the...

Look Up

The world is bending
with noses pointed to the ground
like small rudders steering bodies on busy sidewalks.

People see the sky
only as a reflection on cell phone screens
when texting friends.

Who is left to notice
light as it penetrates...
