Taking Todays Tumblerful Tea Time

This teetotaler turns to tea
torquing temptation
towards tippling
thankfully, though
that tremendous tugging

teasing tendency thirst trumped,
thru teaching this totally tubular
toothless titular Texan thuggish tyrant
(titled Tsar Terry Troutman)
transcendental theology

tenets taught transferring
torpedoing, taming threatening
titanic tsunami tempest
tastefully tickling temperance
testing trying taut tenacity

together teaming (troika)
triumvirate torchbearers
transsexual therapist
(Tony the tiger)
tough trailblazer theoretician

toady treacly Tory
(Tommy Two Tone),
thence thirdly Theodore
"Tornado" Tornetta)
themselves trained to tamp

twerking tremens triggers,
their tripartite treatment told
tattooing thorny transforming
took this then truant teenage turtle
through time traveling

to those truant tumultuous tragic,
toxic, tipsy twitchy, touchy, tetchy
typhoon terrible two times two
times two times two tantrum
throwing, thieving, threatening

taxing textured teen tinder times -
tossing, tilting, taking tankful tolled
throaty, thoroughly, 
thickly telltale temblor

toured terrible tournament
testing taupe tumbling termagant (Thaddeus)
tangling (Tangoing) tiny Timothy, 
the treacherous tarantula
tying tussling travail – tata!


EMILY DICKINSON: INNOCENT GENIUS: PART 2

mailed copious letters to friends 
acquaintances, a couple to publisher 
to elicit opinion which poet 
perfection used to examine  
acute    as hesitation extracted 
Darkness games  ——   Emily’s
intuitive aim put Robin Hood to
shame      exacting was her Veracity 
brook too clear to cross calmly near
So —  this divinely embodied  
Spirited Crystal lowered her sweetie 
eats to children below her window 
not resisting her feats      Giggling 

Family and contextual wealth a 
gift from Lord Above    though parental
closeness not too well fulfilled —-
adoring Austen and Vinnie jelled did 
she      Su as sister-in-law she could 
not but completely open her door to this 
endearing Core so smart     with Presence 
tangoing  too impressive —— that rumours 
abounded intimacy illegitimate 
           …
Flowers as neutral nifty charmers
Untainted with emotion her favourite 
Devotion —- in perennial garden 
Emily laboured with them advising 
floundering pistils        In own 
orchards, fresh fields and woods 
she knew them all as Inspiration
on willing call        Spring or Fall

Emily —- an ember clear without masks 
ambitions, mirages    illustrious Lily light 
from yonder
authentic her magnetic innocence sought 
no validation     Circled by Knowingness 
within Singularity 

sovereign her poems into Infinity 
is sown ——-   for near on two 
centuries we now Crack her
Marbles which into booklets poetess 
stitched
  —- those on ink and under iridescent 
skull nourishing West Cemetery 
in Amherst      dispersed

Emily’s  ‘I felt a Funeral in my Brain’
STILL making Headlines 
dying for Beauty surrendering 
to Truth      Penetrating pure her vibrations 
across grey matter
                  She watches me

Pale Shelter

Is this real?
Why say it is 
 when you know
 it isn't true, this isn't reality.

It's the dream 
 you take me with seductive guile
 and all the while, 
 the lie becomes the truth,
it hides and cowers beneath your smile.

You are the deceiver
 the magic man, 
 the great pretender
setting heart and soul afire with passion, lust, desire.

Hold me close, 
 love me as you love yourself
 promise me the dream
 and here together we can hide 
in your labyrinth of unsheltered schemes.

This is real, the reality
 of everlasting dreams in ice castles
 unending and melting in its lies display,
the lovers' dream of two, tangoing in pale shelter.

COLOURFUL LAMENT

 
I combed cool waters of your baby blue 
crystalline Jewel as you waded waterfall 
waves washing my stellar rainbow rays 
arching it melted into the warm womb 
of transducing tangoing Earth

Her Violet Flame devoured us both
as nectared dewdrops to fuel the fire
our soma swirling into ecstatic orange 
oxytocined crane flowers whispering 
wisdoms to a hundred yellow  butterflies 
fluttering and flirting 

They circled a sunken Atlantean apex
atop where you ruled anew with Baconian 
brown locks surrounded by sirens serving 
savoury silver sardines, oolite oyster shells 
sang solos as dolphins dived, oceanic mouthed 

In Ancient Egypt you followed my runcinate 
rulings or indigo sorrow siglums, sighing
becoming slimmed seeker who served 
Thoth well whilst wreathing my wounded
worthiness and fallow fallopian tubes 
at pyramidal plumed midnight hour

In our Grecian lifetime you draped alabaster 
urns lighting my marble mantelpiece 
I watched breath enter your nebulae nostrils
as you crafted provincial proverbs instructing 
slaves to whiten your garb with lemons from 
our sculpted garden

On lavender Celtic hills we exchanged kilts
not knowing whose waist was whose
barefoot we flaunted sleek sharp sapphire 
studded swords dancing necessary wild wars 

Who remembered and who forgot 
where in ether our nestling niche napped
as games of betrayal, fear or doubt 
doubled into involuting circles and spirals
each tried to neck THE VOID as naked
excuse for not excavating heaving Heart

How much escaping, escapades, evolutionary 
clocks cloak our cusps or cues or custard 
synchronicities 
how many summer summit starlings must 
seek to sing of sorrow or of wolves, withering 
willows, watermelons on this Planet of 
coloured curriculums
holding dear our distinctive designs where 
lacy lament is but another aperture into Space 

I seek not to know !


POINT ZERO

POINT ZERO 

Birth slipped into fast flowing
rivers of patterned fissures 
her arching brows brazen 
searching sagaciously
microscoping every moment 
tangoing across thorny 
thickets 


Hope gazed at her prayer 
puzzle poised with pensive 
pencils plaintively planting
plantains for pink parakeet 
caressing spines singing 
softly stirring custard 
pudding 


Love thought she was best
berry fruit from which fragrant 
juice poured jetting jewels 
a silver sabre silently stared
further from truth she stood
a sacked saga sagged


Death smiled enigmatically 
held Birth, Hope and Love
in oblong esteem observing  
Time’s oval ovaries to strike
sublime a node through 
which she sodium sucked


Point Zero zipped in sidelong 
zaps dishing each zappy 
zodiac zones showering 
all four with Infinity’s 
zygotes zooming


Point Zero was Hero !
