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.

I married a shark yesterday; 
we went to Atlantis to stay -
she showed me the sights
(between lots of bites)

April is thirty

and fierce as Niagara 

she wets our pallet 

for spring fling with nature

she shows us, we are one.

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

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

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...

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

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

  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.

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....

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.
