Nine Times to Die

Like a cat,
I've nine times to die —
and love has taken seven.

Once,
when you said my name like it was a question.
Twice,
when you answered it with silence.
Thrice,
when you loved someone else
in front of me
like I was made of stone
instead of soul.

I keep returning —
from wreckage,
from wreck,
from wreck again.

You don't know
how many lives I’ve lost
just staying alive
next

Nine Times Pleasure

Sultan of Nanobad bed nine wives,
each of them for each day of the week,
but he would bed two for each weekend!
His first wife he married for wisdom,
the second for her poetic skills,
the third and fourth for their pretty looks,
the fifth to run culinary drills!
He would brag the rest “for my pleasure”…..
but wives loved him only

Nine Times Nine Plus Nine Birthday

Nine days and she is counting until
Her age will be nine times nine plus nine
She wears a size nine dress, she reminds
Tells me please do not make such a fuss
Nine times I tell her not to worry
Simply dress yourself up to the nines
And we will celebrate your birthday
With all nine times nine candles plus nine
Everything

Nine Times

A view beneath the oak tree was sure beautiful
She waits for him to come, a heart bountiful
Her eyes viewed only what was lovely and wonderful
A tenderness she held deep within her pure heart
Living with peace, she waits for a new start
Water laps up to the shore near her feet
Making her warm life whole and surely,

i did not fathom ever loving someone so much
newborn child of mine

i cried nine times more than she

Ninety Nine Times Denied

something
has come about
the moon and sun
have been drowned out
nothing
is going to change
this miraculous endeavor
nobody
has ever told me
to go about this any other way
time to fly
soar so high
ninety-nine
rounds denied
yes, the 100th one will hurt
bring it back
time to score
yes they want me many other ways
satan has
drawn his cape
he's cowered beside the fire
shadows overwhelm his weakened, weathered frame
he
