in an old house
where noise horripilates, we cry
and laugh inside

He tried
but for him
speech did not
come easily,
the parrot had a stutter
starting with a sputter --
tripped over
every third word
sounding quite absurd
the clipped-wing bird;
his flight, as well,
a jump and a fell --
a monumental flop,
every spring
followed by a plop...
and Boots, the penthouse cat
a bit of a louse
absent a mouse
terrorizes Carrot~ the penthouse
parrot --
poor Boots, dreams of woods
feline hunts and captures
kept from the wild
chooses poor Carrot
for his daily, stalking raptures --

Take the plunge..As I have before, try your friends..
Just to be sure.' Give them truth..Support' some trust
Then wait and see.' Expecting no love, or hate..that fire.'
For it might flare? Their will exposed, in steeped despair?
Who knows the spirit of humans? Deep to core? but one.!
The Great I Am, within deep seas we can't escape him
He's traced each wrinkle, none can berate Him.' And
So I turn to my only Father, who has warned me often
I had allowed for rather..? Well a different speil or option'
Did it depend in part how i'd spun the wheel.? God is
True let all others be liars' add the crackle of thorns to
To call those before Him called..? God watches 'all people'
And
Maybe, wonders?
At much stupidity as yet; he stokes hells fire.'

Blinding silver streak
Explodes
Rocks crash
Roof rattles
Cracked sky
Spills fury
Pent up rage
Inflicted
Doors
Windows
Blown open
Wild wind
Laces through
Snuggled up
Tight and warm
Bear hugging
Howling storm
Wrestling
Chest crushing
Rib crunching
Dominion
Pinned down
Struggling beneath
Seeking for some
Lasting release
I won't let this
Tempest leave
Make it rain
Forty days
And forty nights
Yet
Somehow
Some way
I fall in
Dream
It slinks away
And all I
Wake up to
Is this
Fresh morning
Kiss

Pent up, jumbled up,
Hung up, so mixed up,
When will I be able to show up?
When will all things be
At last looking up for me?
When will I for once be free?

From St. Patrick's pent horses to out horse
She rode St. Patrick's day wild horses
Through leprechauns and lucky Joe's of course
She rode her horses well
Every horse loved her swell
In came a pony changing the concourse

The howling wind interrupted my dreams,
Some time in the early morn.
It was a dark and moonless night,
With a long time left till dawn.
The roof it shook, the windows too,
The doors it seemed did breathe,
As Mother Nature's pent up force,
once more was loosed the leash.
I lay awake listening, in fear, and fascination,
That such destructive forces can grow,
To threaten the very fabric of a nation,
From the gentle summer breezes we know,
And trust as our true friends,
When they conspire together for power,
Then for many they deliver the end!

These graphite singularities
contain universes
unconceived,
awaiting
the Big Bang
of inspiration, but
narrative particles
escape like
Hawking radiation --
gravity’s diminution
evaporatively slow,
nearly virtual,
and random.

Zigzag Hearts and Pent-up Dreams
No matter how perfect everything seemed
I guess we had our faults
Sitting here, I'm almost crying
And I can't seem to stop.
You made everything seem so right
So perfectly fixing mistakes
Nothing felt wrong, it was all correct
But you've made my heart break.
You said I was all you wanted
And you were everything to me
And yet, you say we don't belong
I guess there was something I didn't see.
And all at once, I'm alone
A piece of me is gone
Once again, I made the classic mistake
I did what I knew was wrong.
I opened myself up to you
And make myself feel weak
I should have known better than to hold your hand
Or let you dazzle me when you speak.
I suppose it was "just a crush"
In your eyes, that's how it seemed
And now, I'm broken once again
With a zigzag heart and pent-up dreams.
