Two chubby pigeons sitting on a wall
One called Peter one called Paul 
Reach for the rifle before they fly
Two juicy birds baked in a pie...

Succulent Georgia peach pie
Fresh peaches sliced thin
Baked in tantalizing dough
Its aroma draws
Body and soul come
Taste and see
Sweet!  ...

Plump, firm, and juicy - 
Enticing summer delight,
Achingly luscious,
Captured from your soft tree swing,
Hacked up and baked in a pie.

The opals fire; 
it burns so bright; 
a gem to light our way.  
Baked in Earth’s oven, 
this spectre bright; 
will never burn your skin; 
it’s simply light-play.

This air,
Baked in
A purple haze
Bring cupped-hands
Filled with holy water
To the ancient shores of
This Gothic Cathedral
We flock to your sanctuary
Birds bring their benedictions to this altar...

Birds baked in pies, babies rocked out of trees
Kids all falling down from some dreadful disease
Young Hansel and Gretel
May wind up in a kettle
What tormented minds write stories like these?

#Pie

Up down turn around pick a pan a bowl or two
              turn            a pock
              turn            a plum
              spin            baked in
Swirl the spoon, mix  a pie batter to make a treat for you...

Break the ties that bind me
Taught wire cutting through vibrant thoughts
soft texture of my mind ensnared
Dreams gushing blood
Like a big ball of dough in a small wire basket
Ready to be baked in the over
Fresh bread for them to feast on...

finding dots, spots of glory
drawn upon satin-sheet-crisps
baked in apples and crated
to my inner thigh, memorized
by my tongue.  splashes of thought
delicately trace a lone pillow case
where once we swallowed smitten
waves of wet sounds and empty graves...

Thought there was a funny burning smell?
Four and twenty cherries baked in a fruit pie.
When the pie was opened it was found to be a lie.
There were 4 and 20 blackbirds, made yell!

Marriage is an engagement,
Two minds agreement,
The bed playing the middleman,
A bed,the first debt in marriage for settlement,
Ring brings a debt,
The cake baked in debt,
Dress designed in debt,
Meals in merchants books of debt,
A marriage is said in life to set,
But in fact it's settlements of debts!...

ottava rima

A rambling riddle; hope you'll play along...
Fingers when I have played too much cello. 
Head, neck and shoulders baked in sun too long; 
Zingers by Hostess and cherry jello. 
Used with blue and white, patriotic song; 
singers’ roses but not Texas yellow. 
Hot pink is like my second fiddle;
strawberries are a key to this riddle.

roving black hole
devours
a misplaced life
somewhere
in the futile fog
of wandering warfare

it's baked in the cruel cake:
an ultimate deletion
is coming for us all
with groaning glee

we scratch an incendiary itch
under the hood of 
a mutilating maelstrom
where cryptic terror gushes 
from loose AI cannons

I fear it all
but there's nothing
to fear but 
the imperfect 
storm...

In a world with billions,
Of colors bright and bold;
Color me azurite;
Malachite and lapis
Veined with golden pyrite;
Yes I am azurite.

I’m baked in the ground
Until I am found;
And I’m chipped away
From my mother’s womb;
Cut and set in gold.

Now color me
Expensive please;
These days I am
So very rare.

Over-mined,
Earth’s robbed blind;
So unfair.

Still a
Beauty;

I.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Can anyone tell me 
How he got there at all.

A tisket a tasket
My brown and yellow basket
I took a paper to write a letter
But there was no pen in my casket

Four  and Twenty black birds baked in a pie
I think if I would eat it 
I would almost die

Gorgie Podgie pudding and pie 
Kissed the girls and made them cry
So they all turned around, the ones who were shy
And put him in a hot oven to fry...

Love’s Desert


You left me there, alone, empty,
baked in the seething heat of hate.
Dried petals screaming: “I love you not!”
blowing across a soundless nothingness,
faint echoes of a whimpering heartbeat
fading in the shifting dunes,
crushed beneath the beauty of love’s barrenness.
Alone, under the lifeless light of desert moon
I weep, my future a wavering mirage.

Your sweet golden,
Brown Sugared, skin
adds A little spice,
to life, Destine,
to explore the nature, 
of yours, I am nurtured, 
and famished, With,
constant under standing, 
why you are loved, so
Baked in by declaration, 
of your lips, speaking genuinely,
Above and beyond, captured,
my hunger,
in complete ness, 
To never let go, 
because you complete me, to
continue, As I Spill The Beans, 
that pour through your words,
Among mine, to become one......

Finest mills of flours
sprinkled species from silky road
Tears of cloud water the dough
raised in crescent moon

Shaped history mending  
tender forgiveness
become alive from dust again 
Baked in wood fire 
gently touching  my tears

Sweet taste of soul 
hinges set you free
Walked in streets 
with my cookie basket
Give away my mate
Let him free as fly 

Wish and wait to comeback
in dressing  skin raised from dust
James to whom my imaginary friend...

dark are the eyes
through which we see
hard is the heart
that inside beats
only the lonely
know of the deeds
cold are the hands 
that outward reach

follow the progress
that gets in the way
swallow the innocence
in what we say
two-sided knife
baked in the cake
savor the flavor
of the escape

hold onto your breath
if there's any left
along with the secrets
that you have kept
tossing and turning
in unmade beds
knowing the deeds
cold are the hands...

Sun's dry handiwork
Salty skinned sunbathers, stripped 
Sandy bones, de-hyd

Replaced watermark
With brand that is baked in deep
Pimping with long reach

Ray's Gaze, no flinch ways
Dusk don't need a sentinel
Has Fog roll blanket

Slips away, act 3
Crickets chirp their gossiping 
Undercover, shades

Hides in Night's phase shift
Will employ shadows at day
Witness protection

From relentless ways
Security, privacy
Quiet Holiday
