producing and serving healthy wealth relationships,
often digestively motivated
to achieve nutritional communion goals,

While thinner...

Happy shiny tummy courtesy...I REM ember in place of stipend

An appetizer, essentially an

quasi Neptune salad,

earning prized counterpart

cannily, decorously, deftly,
and happily prepared

Although the people, place, and time were different,
it was rather clear to me that I had seen this picture

Sometimes boarderline crude,
But her own blue eyes she prized,

I went ghetto gold .......


I was told that when I flip this,

that familiar smell of alcohol
takes me back through the years
this cloudy substance
swirls like the emotions of mind

of rubbing alcohol as it mingled
amidst the scents of applesauce

SWIMMING UPSTREAM

It seems I always 
swim upstream 
against the current.
re-creating struggles 
of conflicting contradictions
and unsweetened scripts
at odds with others
in deeds and words
a emotional dissonance 
played out over a lifetime. 
banged and buffered hard
against the onflow;
prevailing...

A Collaboration w/Silent One


Flowers you placed on the window
now wilt, crumbling in my palm
Their scent seems to have transcended,
accompanying you to the heavens

Your fragrance still lingers,
sometimes I hear you whispering my name
Shadows in the garden...

The Beatles are frozen underground
Like some sort of Prehistoric Cave Drawing,
Art Incognito.
The Ground is Hard
And my Fingernails break.
The Clay inbeded in my DNA,
Some part of me is Buried
Should I attend my own Funeral?
Nobody Else seems...

She served him tea in a china cup
Watched his first tentative sips
Smiled at his appreciation 
Ran a tongue over full red lips
He watched her move around the room
Skirt swinging with enticing grace
Knew he was enraptured

As he was walking down the street 
One foot fell off,
An embarrassing incident 
He manage to cover with a cough.
Just twenty yards further on
To his despair 
He discovered that 
He wasn’t even there.

Own yourself!
Nagging on someone 
isn't going to cut you a shining star.
Reminiscing on your past will only 
give you the worst of unsweetened-soured 
memories of your life time.

Sour ground ... 
burial lots, where the worms defile
Tear moistened dirt
hardened by fretting hearts,
fearful of the pulse pendulum clock

Time moves mournfully on a crooked drop,
six-feet motion of tainted tick-tock
