Quest of the Heart: Chapter Four
Grey Bane and the Dark Lord
Perched on a stalagmite jutting up from the floor

My eyes accustomed to the glow followed his gaze
Frozen in ice was my Love whom...

A Friend in the Dark
A soft screeching sound over head brought me back
With Grey Bane in hand I swung quickly around
When I saw what it was I broke out in laughter
The little guy flew to...

Allow me to Lift the Curtain
Right up until you were honest
I found hope in the regressing of your sentences
From fine wine to a poisoned chalice
Remembering you in the corner of the grocery store
Sparked the overwhelming urge...

China Tour Thoughts 2
China Tour Diary Moment #2
--------------------------------
AZURE MOUNTAIN GORGE
Mile after mile we take the China roads;
Highways beckon now as our tour meanders;
Vistas speak beauty as coach bears our load;
Silence fills endow as wind blows plunder.
Springtime in China...

Catarrh and Catharsis
... stalactites hung like dystopian snot from a statue
her brain was frozen and formed ice in her mind
a lacuna without inlet or outlet arrested in time
mind’s skates tied up in bundles of snowflakes
gloves off...

Hunter/Gatherer
driving through streets of angst and apathy
driving to the place where I can actualize my desire
to eat a 12 piece bucket of chicken hunks
smiling at the coo-koo bird with tits exposed
the paper words speaking in...

Passion - Metaphorical Realism
through the key-hole surgery of my delicate heart
you have reached into the inner sanctum of my soul
in Plato’s cave where I have locked away my demons
betrayed by worm casts of secretive earthworms...

One's Old School
K through Twelve,
it's called.
Students and teachers
walk the halls.
From beginning to end
behaving like they should
Or else. . .
One knows that
the attic is filled with cobwebs,
of course,
and dusty musty old textbooks
discarded lessons and copies
of one's grade reports.
But...

Operation Poetry
The clock struck twelve,
the midnight started swinging.
Volcanic developments going in the mind,
for the erupting magma of art and creativity.
Pages of literature and fiction,
turning the history of hope,
in sweat drenched hands.
The dictionary turning and tuning
the fate...

Nut-Ricious Nutty Poetry
Most people go bananas
over chocolate
I'm well nuts about nuts
as well
Stuff them in chocolate
ice-cream or sherbet.
Yeah munch on peanuts
brunch on hazelnuts
Ah lunch on pecan nuts
or crunch on chestnuts
For nuts could never
drive one nuts
Ironically...

Ekphrasis On Monet's Water Lilies
Floating fluttering fleurs
are jewels in fuchsia and magenta
transmuting into taffy hue
with the kiss of dappled sunlight
like her cheeks that blush in pink
with his wondering wink.
The willows are stalactites
seducing newly bloomed nympheas
slumbering in Egyptian blue...

Nearly To Hell
Through eldritch streets I walked alone
With shadows on my track,
Full jellied was my every bone,
I thought my mind would crack.
Through mist and morbid mire I went
To revel where gargoyles dwell,
A guest whose soul was...

Caves - Ins and Outs
Caves are dark, dank, sinister havens for rising damp
Mere cavities in the ground, veiled from light of day
Yet caves are heralded, admired and cherished
For a swarm of reasons, just mind the bats
Caves are drop inns

Simon's Stripes
Apparent normalcy of seeing Simon crouched on bathroom tiles,
engrossed in energetic chewing, fails to filter my distress.
From outer body standpoint, hovered below ceiling's heat lamp,
I monitor the horror of my daughter's distraught face.

Like running naked through the Trevi Fountain
Or climbing the pyramids with a Nun
Walking the length of The Great Wall of China

I Committed the Perfect Crime
My husband acted like a complete jerk
had countless affairs with women at work
He wore spray on jeans which fit so tight
and aftershave called ‘Tonight’s the night’
I knew for sure that things weren’t right
as he’d hide...

Cave of Wonders
Cave of wonders,
Caverns so deep,
Through vast rooms I wander,
So many secrets to keep.
The path tightens,
The corridors weave,
Mysterious sounds frighten,
Seeing the magic others see,
Deeper down I go
To unknown steps below,
Exploring further and anyone’s been,
There seems to...

Tenderness
Touch would a finger to the elegant and smooth cheek
That shines from tears as apple leaves after rain
You weep with happiness, me and yourself do not sparing,
All trying to understand the mystery of the lines...
