I'M Dying

I'M DYING
Truly, if I had to die
For your love
Then I want to die
Here and now
For I want to start
Loving you now......
Indeed I'm dying.

Great White Wedding

I married a shark yesterday; 
we went to Atlantis to stay -
she showed me the sights
(between lots of bites)
as Plato was running away...

April is thirty

and fierce as Niagara 

she wets our pallet 

for spring fling with nature

she shows us, we are one.

Living Scary Fantasies

Loner waiting, watching the women walking,
planning murder, grinning and chuckling softly,
stands in shadows, touching his hidden dagger,
choosing a victim...

Premium Member Question Mark Eternal

sweet moonlight glow from 
beaus on rippling shoreline, but 
can this vivid yen linger?

wave of pulsing sighs 
infinite in heartfelt pledge?
timeless dream phase I wonder

Premium Member Leroy Dresses Up Now

LeRoy had never been squeamish, fastidious or fussy,
He always dressed quite casually, his hair sometimes rather mussy.
But that all changed one day
On the 16th of May
When he was bitten by a neighbor’s rabid skunk named Gussy

Celestial Polka Dots

Unfathomable....... 
On vastness of Milky Way 
Black round specks adorn. 
Mars,  Venus, Pluto and more... 
A cosmos of Polka Dots?

A clever painting,full of wit
On his mantle piece did sit,
No genre do they now fit-
Filling this canvas with tomes & books
A librarian,with abstract looks

two blue butterflies
following me all the day
I am no flower
still they are so close to me

An Old Tramp Fast Asleep

an old tramp fast asleep
on a bench in an empty park
no sounds or visible movements
yet on his worn out clothes
fleas hop and bedbugs and lice crawl

Honey Moon

16th day of December shall
Ever be remembered, For it
Represents light, Born about
Two and  half decades. The shining
Light of its generation. May God
Be praised. For making it possible,
For lifting me high ,For meeting the
Right people at the right time. I thank
God for creativity!

Tempting

Tempting...

If she leaned forward
just a little more
over her centre
of gravity
seriously...
She might fall
over the edge
of unreasonable doubt... 
And recall laughing 
hilariously... 
At herself.

Premium Member Hallucination Wayra

Rum and L.S.D conjure up a train tunnel, psychedelic blues and reds, two bright orbs left and right, no sound just an eerie silence.

Special Day

Today is your 16th birthday,
It's supposed to be a special day.
Our lives have been cold and gray,
Since you went away.
We can go to your grave and cry,
Only to wonder why?
When you left our world stood still,
Always remembering your smile and cheer.
Our love will always remain,
Until we are together again.

Premium Member Paper Boats

In the eyes of the young child
life lacked black or shades of grey.
He travelled light. Unburdened
was his mind except for dreams,
till one day torrential rain
washed away the bright colours
and his soggy paper boats.

Premium Member The Food Chain

The lion and the Zebra in a duel of life
The hunter and the hunted
As  spectator in the food chain 
It can be daunting and also haunting

A run to catch the prey
Running away from the predator 
This is normal in the Serenegeti
Survival of the fittest  in the grasslands
It5the food chain making its rounds.
