Long Wagered Poems

On the streets of sin city, on the high roller's main drag,
Known as the Las Vegas Strip, a gentlemen phantom
Does stroll dressed in all black attire, striding forth with his golden Cain,
Flipping a silver chip...

heaven ...
is my prison ...
that dreamy, white tangle of
percale where your
limbs and mine weave sweaty magic -
a moon-daubed canvas of
pyretic passion, public ...
no shut-door, drawn-curtain modesty to
confine or make sacred ...
the danger of chance discovery...

Why does my soul not conform to the social standards that society and family set before me? As if I was written as a chapter of a different book and thrown amongst the scoffers. Or...

Time's flowing tributary; the future changes the past.
            Our burial cortege concludes its course at the graveyard.
Falling leaves collapse, crafting new fates; feel the...

There are times I thought I’d have to say
That my life was all but slipping away
When my heart and mind was numb and dead
When through my ruptured heart my soul bled.

I craved and desired for...

Memorable moments mystified by gilted pardons,
Iridescent solicitude. 
Exclusiveness of me and you. 
Purge uncertainties born historically of mislaid intent.
Time presently misspent. 
Risked future wagered, 
Unbelievable carelessness. 
Could one ever surrender fate?
Retrospectively regretful. 
Oblivious to your...

" Milk & Bananas "

Hmmmmmmm~ Thought Tea ??
Does this blend require lemon a'plenty?
Or shall it find lime more then amenable?
Shall such cup as is drunk from thus be dainty?
Or should we drink from whichever we...

Some men screamed in shock, 
Some men demurred fiercely,
Some wagered lots of bucks, 
Some resented me dearly... 

But dead I'd rather be
If the truth I cannot tell
I choose to face without trepidancy
These attacking crimson bells......

come away, my sweet
I can wait no longer
your torn breast beckons in
torturous desire

I am what you created
in your quest for escape
you used me and begged
for obliteration as your chosen fate

I awake to your screeches
that justice...

Many people have seen him 
But no one knows his name 
That easy-walking white haired man 
Whose made his claim to fame 

One day in a casino 
He wagered up a bet 
And put a...

Searching through the forest,
  chasing dreams your sleep abandoned

And losing yourself in the mindless 
  spatial distance 

You play two handed poker
  with the devil of the night

The Prince holding only one...

Searching through the forest,
chasing dreams your sleep has wagered

And finding yourself in the mindless
spatial wasteland

You play two-handed poker
with the devil of your fright

The Prince holding just one card,
as you gamble it all…

Forever promising:
“This hand will...

One afternoon fatigued I fell asleep 
and dreamed of wings, 
since then i have been migrating.
In my gamble of life
I have wagered my happiness,
and lost my path.

As a bird bid farewell to the leaves,
falling to...

losing at some game
produces very little shame
no one else to blame
pride quite easy to reclaim
nothing ventured nothing gained

big or little stakes
wagers may keep minds awake
or make weak souls shake
don't bet what shouldn't be lost
keep in...

An ancient wise man
Once wagered a bet, 
That he could capture the wind, 
In a butterfly net.

Poor Prince Hal, just wanted a pal, a friend
Someone to drink and laugh with til the end

Pawning all his hopes on white lies so far
Spending all his coins at Quickly's bar

Playing pranks on Falstaff to...

Lonely Hearts
By Lola

We wasted time
For days and days
We let it flow
We waste away

We’re broken toys
With plastic hearts
We search the space
A place to start

Frozen in time
Our hands are held
We’re despatate kids
Our kingdoms fell

To crumble down
She never...

The roses were like black ice, dark as night. 
They lived in a crystal vase were they 
were fed their daily juice. My heart 
shivered to see them, they were 
toxic. Yet I noticed 
there...
