Long Xeric Poems

My (bleeding) heart is filled to overflowing, 
To see any growing glad(iolus), garden glowing;
Each sun peached, (petunia) petaled delight,
Is frozen in precious moments of pure delight,
From bursting buds, to the spicy boom of blooms,
Nature is...

A diverse array of flora and fauna reign majestic 
in vivid tawny imagery of shifting sand dunes 
and barren rocks-- sixteen miles
from the golden rays of western tomorrow.

Time is played out in crucial moments of...

And then the blunders of the past merged into serenity. Tranquility

Antisocial anacondas don't associate in numbers;
Bears and beavers don't become the best of friends.
Civet cats catch rats, so is it any wonder
On doleful dingoes dire dilemmas do descend?
Effete elephants eschew jumping, it's ungraceful;
"Frenching" frogs will...

Allow altruistic artistry among ailing american adversaries.
Bartering begins before begging beasts break brothers.
Capture calamity controlling catastrophe calming castration.
Dedicate decisions directed down dreary deaf disillusionment.
Eradicate equality earning efficient energetic epiphany.
Follow fallen foreigners forgetting faithful flight from...

Afterglow, the way you shine, awakening delicate as early morning dew

Beautiful, always the memory of our first time

Charming, the way you blushed as I stroked your cheek

Divine, the tatse of your lips upon mine

Elegant, your...

All is calm; all is
Bright on this lovely 
Christmas Eve night.
Do you see how
Easily the smiles come?
Feel the warmth that envelops you and
Glows in loved ones' eyes.

In celebrants' voices as they
Jubilantly sing...

To hell harbinger, niggling winsome words,
has grasped the devil's share, for menhir size
Has pencilled in his own and crossing swords-
It errant's change which seeks the high rewards.

As such they'd yammer the athiest priest
Prepare to skewer...

The Zweiback Warrior


Zweiback cookies – teething biscuits
Yucky, gnawed upon, gummed delights
Xeric surface absorbing wanton drool
Wielded, by the toothless cherub, in
Valiant fencing stance encumbered by
Unsteady footwork of diapered distress. 
Tongue licking the blunted sword tip
Short sticky...

All flowers all the time:

Another day for admirers hungry eyes
Bouquet to deliver in the
Company  of love
Dainty daisies beautifully alive
Especially the rose 
For the lover in you
Guess I didn't know a parade of floral 
essence...

At day I fight the warriors fight.
Because my heart is made of light,
Comes the dread of mine own blight-
Demons dark as blackest night.
Except that oh, they do forget
Falling Angels, a-many, I have met.
Gone With the...

unaccompanied
I set out to traverse the hinterlands
perceiving myself as a blemish on society
all eyes averted from my unsightly visage
the pernicious shadow of doubt's cloud 
casting an ominous apparition that darkened the mood
  but failed...

After it all ended 
But a moment before he left 
Casted me away 
Did what i had dread 
Expressed his discomfort over 
Fights we never had fought 
Gave up on us 
Handed my heart back...

Stiff, stifling, arid air: snakes, lizards, sand,
and cactus. Scorched red rocks and baking skin.
My canteen empty in a barren land -
my romance landscape till first love walked in.
One summer evening under moon's cool beam,
the desert's...
