Edge kissed to gleam in the dead of night.
Relentless is the echo tuned to hindsight.
Endless in the knowing his cause is right.
His grip is firm,...

ODE TO THE BALD AND BEAUTIFUL
...He primps that dome like it’s his crown,
A shiny orb, the talk of town.
Shaves that bowling ball twice a day,
No rogue hairs dare to stay.
Refined olive oil, scentless, slick—
His scalp’s own ...

Tick Toking
...Oh me, oh my,
How time keeps tick-tocking by!
Each year shaves pounds of days off the next
Unburdened, it races on, faster and faster yet.
We say, "Wasn't it yesterday or maybe just last week?"

In every verse, songs of lovers
You have flowed like bright blue in the desert of my heart
The heart is closed by your love and your love shaves my life

Last tick and last tock ?

Sludge Behind the Dishwasher
...As the weather chooses its flavour for the hour,
Stubble-ended wood shaves itself on the layers of unseen ground.
Synthetic puke seeps through pores seeking to devour
Every tiny, curled hair float...

I Don'T Like the Look of Those Scissors, Darling
...But a brush and a touch, one parting more.
Delilah, Moon-girl, you stole my strong light.
I, your Sun-boy, am shorn having blackout,
but remember my close shaves, the honey
and dead days, my foes...

Waves in your mind
Rounds of lost emotion
Raves that cuts and bind
Bounds of the blue ocean
Shaves your deep mind
Mounds of tranquil notion
Saves your lost mind

A Pencil
...I am just
A little pencil
Made from
Wood and lead
My head is
Long and pointed
My body
Smooth and red
I write happily
Only when I’m led
I was once
Tall and handsome
But now
The day...
