Short Balletic Poems

In balletic poise
focused with intense stillness
arc of white light strikes...

What's in the middle
of light
where halos
form from beams
Where rain captures reflected moments
before their splat epitaph
Winds skirts with lint
in a balletic maze
honoured by the sun disco ball graze...

vile vibed violin
pruning punctured pelvics
damped veins scrunching
tossing tactic traces
kleptomaniac kinky crunches
vesting voluptuous voices

silly strength spent
spilled seals etched
rustic reels rent

callous crest cupped
lanky lousy lust
revamping coda rust

balletic bounty bod
assumed caboodle Corpse.

resting by a garden path, I watched them lean into each other
like sodden loofers in a warm pool

then they rose to walk away and her voluminous dress, (silk)
danced a parachute ballet, caressing his tanned, mottled shins

and not heeding the peeling bell, he took her by the hand 
to watch the balletic display...Coppelia or Giselle?

and he mused... would'nt it be swell to dance like Nureyev,
in $1000 shoes?...

I know the five positions
(In ballet – don’t get all hot!)
Plus plie and pirouette
But all the rest I plum forgot.

I didn’t have a tutu
But a leotard? Perhaps.
My memory is dimming
And I’m left with just the scraps.

Most likely, I attended
Very briefly, very young,
So a few balletic moves
The only knowledge that has clung.

Was there really a Miss Ricky?
Guess there’s no way I could know
For my ballerina days were over
Many years ago....

These modern day girls,
they don't fall in love
like they did in the black and white movies,
no more Audrey Hepburns' sipping on chardonnays
and pursing gold flake cigarettes
over a bowl of delicate conversation

they're unsophisticated,
they puff on cigars
and gulp down jello shots
while attempting a balletic demeanor
as poetic as Grace Kelly

but their actual depiction
is gauche
and lacking the ability
to fool any heart,
especially Cary Grant's...

If i exist
I would write of tears
that pulled down walls
Of love in seconds glance
Of new born parents
with matching gloop stains
Of darkness that swims between
the blood and skin
Of strutted sex
that smoulders ember ambers
Of blades of grass
that twirl balletic
in moistening summer wind
______________I
Between Good aNd Evil
on the n
I stand
If i exist
i lie wi in th the space
where ink touches paper
Where key finger indent begs fullfilment
in bluened night...

Listen to poem:

Grasses sway, I am lulled with their motion
Anti-gravitational devotion 
Spider's web moving in time with the breeze
Waiting, calmly, life of ease

Come to me, come to me

Sing songs of the sky
Watch clouds and dandelion seeds drifting by
The flight of the bumble bee to each flower
Gracefully preoccupied hour after hour

The stretching of limbs, the arch of a spine
Balletic poses, beautiful, divine
Slow and steady heartbeat next to mine
All peaceful ways to spend my time...
