Songs Paused in the Tree

Since the elderly king greatly loved music, his court esteemed it, too;
As sun and moon smile on myriad colors, during the butterfly revue.

The king was well loved and jolly, with the queen, always by his side.
He ruled with caring. Like rainbow hued peaks, where indifference died.

His glorious reign had been lengthy, and the vast kingdom

time paused

           one sentence showered
   
                                  honour sprouting my amour ~

We Never Ended - We Just, Paused Forever

If tomorrow we never speak again,
I hope you still carry the softness of us in your heart.
Not the silence that followed,
but the warmth in our laughter,
the comfort in the way I remembered every little thing about you.

We are not enemies,
though it aches to see you drift into someone I no longer know.
We’re just two people

In a library where time has paused to rest its heavy wings

In a library where time has paused to rest its heavy wings,
two shadows float among the rows like phantoms lost in ink,
where smoke rises like memories of a forgotten dream,
two souls meet and burn like two stars in the endless night:
Your coat carries the scent of absinthe and dreams that drift in melancholy,
are you a

The Lady Paused

The lady paused, it was not fair
           That one should boast such raven hair
And ample breasts so round and flush
                On waist an hourglass would blush

The lady paused, her mirror

I Paused It And Now Joey Cora Is Staring At Me

Ruffling the feathers
Of your expectations.
Rilke to the left.
The portrait of Alf
The back of my left ear.
What unconscionable theives,
These Time Czars,
Where we live with the scars,
As joy bounces on the crevices.
I see you in the dark in some cave.
Let me be your bombastic populist.
The Strong Arm of the Soul.
Play in the light of least resistance. 
My

Paused

At the deep shelf of night
a niche
a cubby-hole of stillness

Somewhere a hunt is on
somewhere there is death and feeding
but in this hollow mouth of the cosmos
you can rest
within your eyes
be not stung blind by any blood hungers

Here you can sleep on a bed of starlight
forget yourself
and this lovely savage planet

Everywhere there is a kind of

Paused

The textured page holds my finger
Swift memory steals the pause
Here I’ll sit and so long linger 
Again, I’ll wonder who she was

Moved as if by a magic wand
To soles and autumn leaves
Carried back to Walden’s pond
Amongst observant trees

Its here I held her young hand
And wondered what might be
There we walked the storied land
Now how does

I Paused, She Paused

Two months after graduation I dialed her number, 8 - 1 - 8,
                                          

Party Paused

lanky lusts leering
fostering felon fits
damp draw drooling
draped over dances
voluptuous veils vying
saucy veins spanking

hanky panky hoisting
falling fallible feelings
severed surges smirking

eerie emotions nauseated
squashed capillaries cremated
pulpy pukes pirated

lurching labium limbs
paused, party pissed.

Paused a Day

Medication paused a day
the balm of urge then delayed
with a will to live without
if only for the briefest time

until the need comes again
sight unseen to other folks
yet more present than concerns
voiced for the abstinence

when that fix to ease the pain
sometimes a scratch or bloody gash
demands more than platitudes
even as they fill the void

between damnation and

A Paused Game

A PAUSED GAME

It was a rainy evening of May,
We were tired of sitting and,
Gazing at the downpour.
Through the gaps of my fingers,
The roaring thunder did crawl in.
Tear stained window panes,
Waved wide in the winds.
At out the windows far,
Lay our ground wet with,
The cricket game half done.
And the bat that was aside,
Needed a bath for sure.
The

Where Wild Creatures Paused

Stone floors whisper of
waterfalls poured through
algae, moss, fern
sedimentary, limestone
layer upon layer formed
from steaming warm springs.
 
This same granite counter
once graced by
a gazelle - or on its bedrock 
a jackal howled, a shy marten 
scurried away.  This same stone
cut square, smoothed, glazed
and laid in some ultra-modern kitchen
for imbedded fossils to shine      
from fifty million years of nature-
a jaguar spirit

Paused Love

Doing what you want like u 
some kinda star?

Idk who you think you are!

telling me that I'm not allowed

Does makin me cry make you

I'm stuck at home feelin down 
on my luck

Thinking of everything that you 
might be doin

Where the eff you at?

She Paused

in front of him and smiled
graduation day
