My heart skips a beat and my knees turn weak
Your eyes lock with mine in a fleeting glance
In a ricochet of emotion I just cannot speak 

Our time...

There once came a day
when the world took flight
('twas only a handful
who gaped at the sight)
For when she spread her wings
so few could believe;
and fewer still
could keep alive the dream,
that had awakened for all to...

"Dead Crush"



Oh uplift me woman
if we were to have a 
conversation would 
bees fly out of your mouth
or just mewling, simpering 
watered-down honey
not so pristine, just soft
and somewhat 
ingratiatingly tainted
you ply uplifting
romantic notions
like an air...

I walked into Macys Department Store the other day
thinking I’d buy a few items for the summer

Beauty from the Inside-Out

We have searched for unfading and true beauty in unsearchable places. 
It is unfortunately to most of us, we have ears but cannot hear-we have eyes but we cannot see
We have become...

  lips, eyes, cheeks
          with dark
lovely pink
went out on the town
purse, shoes, belt
   had hues and shades
of pink and of brown

When in swanky restaurants, 'tis easy to daintily dine on cordon bleu,
But dining on lobster requires deft finesse without humiliating you!

Anthill


An army of wood ants ,
In Swiss Jura Mountains,
Lift up the mighty leaf
Overhead,to feed

The queen, a  fairy , labors in her womb
The males carry thin paper wings, too
Female workers  go without

When I glanced out my window on this bleak December morn,
My eyes were drawn to the Ponderosa Pine standing so forlorn.
Gradually, as if decorated by God's own Artistic Hand,
'Twas soon bedecked with colorful ornaments so...

Welcome to Gutter Ball Saloon
Where careful words waft through the tavern;
Serpentine swirls with evil intentions.
Watch your step and pocketbook.

Observe the chap in the derby hat.
No, the other one.
No, the other one…with the honeycomb vest.
That singular...

So easy! No pots and no pans…
A generous pinch of ego

I took the high road home, though it wasn't easy 
neglected, abandoned, and used, I felt I deserved better 
so I moved away from that dirty apartment full of rats and dirty men, 
and cleaned...

I’m not sure
I have the strength anymore
To be discovered

Stepping into the cold black lake of February
Clopping to work in frozen slop
Snow snarling at my ankles

Car coughing
Windshield gritting its white teeth

I wear a body double of...

A boy is an undead
While a girl is a leatherhead 
Mom and dad find a severed head
The front yard is now flowing in red. 
What caused this bloodshed?

From tombstones and crypts 
The moon disappears during...

When I came to pick you up
You were a beauty to behold
I walked you out to my Pinto
And even opened up the door

I know your thinking what a gentleman
But alas your thoughts they do escape...

i'm beginning to know them
a bit smudged at first
like spots on my readers, but 
gradually, after a few gentle rubs

When I knew

A ****ing sick gas.

A pen with a fragile
Mind, and no editing
For we post in a blank
Cloud of uncertainty...
