a dusty porch   a rickety chair   
the fabric of your dusky face creased
with ceaseless sunbaked woes
your old pair of getaway feet gives 
a different walk of...

Suspended between the Immensities
She throws flames from her eyes
Love’s never perfect,
When is the perfect time?
A woman is imperfect
A Life corroded, 
a heart that’s been suffocated broken
becomes hard as Jade
Real Life never rhymes

She...

Time To Shower...When Pervasive Odor Of Ureic Acid

Doth strongly waft, sting,
and nauseate about me
olfactory nose flying zone
bombarding cilia of
nasal passageway analogous
to displeasure wrought by

crashing, deafening, exploding,
ear splitting xylophone,
also synonymous isolated like
barenaked lady within

Mystic Parable
Stories dared not whispered, legend of great thinker. 
Artificially created Atlantis, maze search for law-giver. 

Hushed lips speak no evil, silly little monkey cliche. 
Privy ancient knowledge, not clear as light and day. 

So-called peace-loving...

Looking over the crowds
Meet me on the field of legends below the Tower
And he sees the colorful star
Looks him up and down
He sees a little of himself in number...

The Moon
loves in lilac, sees in maroon,
swathed in gossamer and thyme of galaxies,
basking in the periwinkle pages
of my bejeweled mind,
as the night unravels a story
written in powdered vermilion,
of sun-dried moments 
and bleached butterflies,
emanating wolfsbane and...

Premium Member Ersatz Docent in the I Am Museum
Welcome.
I'm the one they left behind.
An alter ego of sorts—
just the keeper, the inventory clerk,
interim ghost.

New items arrive every day—
spat out from my boss's pockets,
sometimes still wet, still ticking.
I stack them in corners.
I don't ask...

For Pinkpoetress
Lizsar is a very good girl,
She loves God,nature and 
especially the Oceans.

Her favourite colour is Pink,
She loves...

I Held His Hand

He didn't hold mine back. I was too late.
There was no going back. Shocked and surprised.

Upon Discovering a Wishbone
Upon Discovering A Wishbone...
(to late for Hanukkah)

I attach very
little value, nee doubt
to farfetched linkedin
phenomena brought about
when breaking off

the larger section
of a wishbone,
sans effortless knockout,
my dominant hand
did hold out,

while yours truly pretended
to freak out
with a playful
twist...

Sage Fright

I’m a-starting to *pavo tremble
this time of year
From all of the oven symbols
rack-et I hear

I’m a seasoned Mestizo pheasant,
best strutting actress
in the whole Oaxaca alfalfa field

But I’m beginning to feel a bite unpleasant,

There is a childlike quality
Between the two contenders
Who vie for the biggest portion
The wish that will come true
The win that provides anew
Second chances, rosy romances
Heartfelt enlightenment, delight
Within the one who competes
For the wishbone’s big dream!

Teardrops, bagged eyes, a way of sin
The mirror reveals a lost eternal soul
A conniving move against tonight's phantom glow
Voices circle the insomniac moon
Like magic and beauty, "She's Gone With the Wind."

Montage
Should I start at the middle
and spiral outward?
I mean I don’t know what I’m doing,
just winging it.
I’m going to need some colorless beads
for the scarecrow eyes
of raw memories.

This is more a mandala thing,
a montage of...
