Short Breda Poems

Breaking Dawn

Night sky frays to day
Headlights make holes in the slate
Driving out the dark

LILY

Lily loved literacy
Inside every book of poetry
Lost in flowing lyrical prose
Yielding, yearning liberally

ASH

you poke and stare
a wildfire glare
in melting shrieks
I turn and burn
away till    all
that’s left
is ash

LOST

lost inside my
head
echo’s fall 
inside
of me
I am 
upside down

in a dark
and hollow
place
I
flee
begging
to be set
free

SuShI

you and me
we should be
transcribing
underneath
a
Cherryblossom
Poet-tree
in 
Japanese
savoring
intimacy
sharing

SuShI

ESTRANGED

estranged
changed
suspended
where angels
fear to tread

imposing
deep thoughts
noises infringe
from the outside
detonating all
within

CHLOE

Chloe chastised chauvinism
Hating hypocrites of opposing gender
Liberating her limitless femininity
Obsessively opposing male nuances
Emotively enticing heroism

FOREIGN COFFEE

sluggish pulse
room ahiss
percolating
this fetid heart
foreign coffee
funnel brown muck
muck funnel smut
searching for words
plopping like mud

CHESS

black Knight
to
restless Queen
a
war of the
bored

poetry
checks and mates
them to
the game

worlds away
breaths apart
words unite
a broken
heart

ACCESS DENIED

screeching of brakes
sequels then breaks
flickering lights…
on…off..on..off..
then it all turns
white
like peeling skin
screaming
access denied

ANTS HOG GLEN

Fiery red burns
Autumn orange
Army ants learn
How to hog Glen
High winged pigs
Fly blue in tune
Suctioning mouths
Pulling helium 
Balloons

ASTRONOMICAL

tempo of the ocean
drama of the season
planet acrobatics
catapulting
streamlining
generating
speed

how…

extravagant
our drunken heart
needs
seem

DILYS

Dilys my close friend and muse
the only one I’d ever choose
to share thoughts and wacky ways
promote one another in life’s haze
but mostly we just love to booze

CONFESS EVERYTHING

life is intriguing
so 
open your eyerings

you may be 
aware of
an absence
presently

right now
I am numb
you are dumb

I love
your
stupidity

MISTY REFLECTIONS

past reflecting
misty moments
hazy hues
diverse dimensions
of
abstract attractions
dark caves
of
the mind

like still
cool waters
better left
behind

SANDRA

there was a young lady named Sandra
who seldom wrote more than a stanza
her words promised us talent
and creative attempt valiant
we longed to read more of her mantra

Beauty
So exquisite
Mirrored wrong perceptions
Disguising hidden reflections
Of past hurts and life’s cruel condemnation
Lies beneath the surface
Obscured mask of
Beauty

TOUCH IT

Touch it
I won’t bite
Or shrink like
Rotting fruit

Touch it
Quietly 
With your mind
Soft and slow


Touch it
Raw flesh wound
The dark night
Of my soul

ALL THE LEAVES HAD NAMES

after the poems
creaking stanza’s
of beds versed
in her hurt

skinned from bare heart
a shroud lay warm
on the floor

all the…
leaves
had 
names

TEMPERED GRACE

one challenge, one heartbeat, one goal
blinding blast--Boston’s blood
achievements brutally, ruthlessly denied

(My prayers and heart go out to Boston--the Athletes and their loved ones)

 UNSUPPORTED CODE NIGHT MOVES

wrapped in a shroud
pread-eagled man
lies… dreamless
in the unmade 
grave of his bed
beams glare on his
mooning face
as his hands clench
on the nights long
throat

UNORDINARY

bizarre
you live
so far
away…
ajar

strange
this page
so pale
out of
range

odd
this poem
weirdly
rough
shod

unexpected
astonishingly
unordinary
remarkable
man
