Back Passage BillyI'd chosen you as my flunky -
Your hair - Neanderthal red,
You'd hurry towards my shrill calling,
De-cloth me and roll me to bed.

Said I'd never last long on the shelf,
I blushed,...

ObolusLight brush dabble rose
Hues of waning ember
Upon cheeks lightly flame
Over eyes of silver
Her body seems cold,
Because she is lost in the fold
…of the moonlight
Stone boat even keel clips
To south star, Octantis touch
Reflection...

Let’s make it a game.
I’ll give you a clue.

Used sometimes by women,...

What Kind of TreeWhat gave me away?
Was it my sway?
Or my long limber limbs
Like glasses with broken rims?
Oh sure, wind has its way with me,
But broken or uprooted, I’ll never be.
Neither short nor tall, would be my description.

Then the light I shun
In the dark I want to stay

I do recall a quiz question
Who made the most tyres
The audience was tasked
The answer is Lego, I fear
But was that in a good year
Some loud wit then asked
Another called them liars
It gave us all...

We Dongle the DingleWe observe
We gasp in anticipation
What is this, a chicken bone, a Ferrari, a bee? Why do they even belong here?
Revelation flashes by like a cottage cheese comment
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I do learn much Karma Kreulu....

Autumn's Enigmatic EmbraceIn autumn's dance, where secrets gently creep,
A mystery entwined with fading light,
Life's questions in the depths of shadows seep.
Each leaf that falls, a story to be told,
The beauty in decay, a spectral sight,
In autumn's...

Or a glass of fine liquor.
A place yet known, or an answer yet heard,
A time whether a promise, would be kept or...

to oblivion everything goes.
When I exhale the peace of winter air,
I am left with nothing but smoke.

No Shaking WordsNot once did I fall,
but countless.
Words shaking,
fearing the tender,
touch of clouded mystery.
Should the mind's waters,
spill from the glass,
to whom will it fall,
the good or the bad?
The grains of my sand,
are the pieces of the void,
where...
