Dream 1: 4 Weeks In Positano
"Dream 1: 4 Weeks in Positano"
Kisses long linger warm lips tasted intense
so sweet like cured Valencia Oranges
lips liquored triple sec not dry drunk on love
softly grazed, then held long
slow, deep, warm and wet
The story is...

Spineless In the Running
Was this a bold endeavour or worst-case high risk plot?
In one sense I was caught between two poles apart concerns.
One must never underestimate indeed trivialise a devilish
difficult decision.
A decision that may...

The Silver Axe
He wondered with horror how so many memories, so many forms to be branded on his skin and engrave there.
Then the wet rattle of a twisted throat, and he beats his last breath to his...

Rum N Raisin
Two little kittens; he’s Rum and she’s Raisin
Lived in a house near the zoo.
Rum asked his friend, “Would it not be amazing
to go catch a mouse or a shrew?”
Raisin said, “Rum, we should not be...

Thrust In The Centre Of The Storm All I Could See Was You
Serrated swathes of overwhelming savage gusts without compassion,
directionless dilatory daydreamer that I am ostensibly vulnerable,
to the serendipitous intrusion at a wispy sapphire cloud flaccid noon,
the minimal load burdensome midpoint idle tranquil saunter,
meteorological...

Understood
"Understood"
My feet stand solemn
grounded they're barefoot
sinking in the undertow,
feeling what’s real
my toes grip the past
while the slow words
wash it irrevocably away
the ego sashays
and hangs that Faust in the wardrobe
Locks it away
turns the...

My Beautiful Dreamer
"My Beautiful Dreamer"
My Beautiful Dreamer
“thinks she goes unseen”, Her.
she’s a million miles away
lost in the Lilacs and
Chantilly Lace of
her beautiful dream, her.

sunrays and moonbeams
bigger yard, smaller city

The Drowning Machine
"The Drowning Machine"
Pulled from my mouth
a string of raw gold to build a tower
built from one understanding
a united ziggurat of words sucked
backwards played before broken mirrors
translated anti-clockwise slow speed all that babel
an alter laid down...

Borrow My Sorrow
How magical it is to feel such a sad emotion
I need ingredients to concoct a happiness potion
Yesterday was not promised
So today I refuse to think about tomorrow
You want something from me?
Borrow my sorrow
It's like the...

The Clown's Monologue
I am a clown: silly, simple clown.
People do laugh at me: I often wonder why.
They call me 'fool' when I am being honest,
And tell me to shut up when I speak the...

Buzz Off
I swung with a vengeance but missed that damned fly
The breeze I’d created caused him to pass by
My electric racquet in underarm mode
Still failed to make that bluebottle explode
It filled me with hate as it...

Treasure of My Soul
Conflict
The priest ran
Scared to raise
An ignorant army
On a darkling plain
Loading guns
With dummy
Faith. The froth
Rose arrogantly
In the test
Tube. They heard
Eyes shut and saw
Ears plugged,
Contorted faces
Expecting the explosion
Any moment.
Slowly
Very slowly the froth
Spilled over
Leaving behind—would

Your gently pearling smile charm the attention of morning sun.
Your charmed souls burn in nuclear passion
To absorb the bombardment of your ink
You are the unsolved mystery of existence...

The Dolphin
Beneath the illumination of the elliptical moon,
Within the cove of diamond bay, waves gently sway
Back and forth, under the oceans clarity of the big blue,
As the surfs foam and spray roll against the white sandy
Beaches...

In the suspended time
In the suspended time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve,
I think of you.
Time has passed, much time, and you have said in
Clear words of silence, that you wish me...

Rainbow Scales Beckon Me
Going inward
Receiving moments of grace
While time unfolds
Touching your heart with my breath
An expansion
Doorways to enter
Each gift revealed through my willingness
Vulnerability my partner
Coaxing me towards unimagined pleasure and pain
Letting my mind expand
Memories of days
Exploring and...

On That Mysterious Night
Alone in my room
I felt like I was suffocating
The night breeze was not chilly enough
In my opinion
So I chose to go out someplace
Where I would be able to admire the moon
And maybe even waves
Waves, so...

Somersault
Once upon a midnight
At a fireplace in my old home,
I read onto a paper, my knees on wood.
It was a letter,
My good will's final tome.
Sobbing and shivering through my hood,
I had been wounding what was...

The Fitness Fight
Resolved was I to exercise,
To utmost try to slenderize.
From flabby bod I'd poundage peel
To Grecian god beneath reveal.
But soon my straining torso frail
Becomes complaining, moaning male.
I parts exert unused for years,
Resulting hurt benumb with beers.

Poised to dive into the drink below
the deodorant on the shelf above put on a show

the deodorant dove like a champ and took a swim,
The toothbrushes held...

I come from the borough of Queens, New York
My classmates call me a Klutz and a dork
Those names pervaded my soul, taking a toll
Being at the bottom of the totem pole.
