mirror woman, barely fancier than an Amish woman
wearing her bowler hat and her dour look
looking face is similar to Angelina Jolie
like her, I do not choose to smile
my hair is messy; I am buttoned up
As he unbuttoned her blouse
he soon became aroused
She unbuttoned his shirt
and took off her skirt
He didn't know about her spouse
Then the doorbell rang
It was her husband Stan
He buttoned up his shirt
She pulled up her skirt
he went out the window and away he ran
The Moon knows never to gossip,
keeping secrets close to the heart;
Buttoned up tight whispers don’t slip,
nothing pries what’s sacred apart;
Never one with an aimless dart,
brazen wishes know where he stands;
A loaded plan cannot outsmart
credence the cosmos understands.
She wants to warm him like the sun,
Heal his hurts with a whisper.
She wants to seal her lips with his smile,
And show her devotion,
In a million silent ways.
She will be his buttoned up confidante,
Gently trustworthy,
Just so she can stay his quiet darling of spring
And forever bloom in his direction.

buttoned up tightly
black iris maiden
smoky extrapolation of time
dancing along in rhythm
guarded by black cameo
pierced, not pampered
silent, stoic, revealing nothing
black iris maiden,
resigned to her fate
greeting no one
smoky memories
hazy not helpful
hurt beyond recognition
dragged to doctors
silent, stoic, revealing nothing
Is your shirt buttoned up too tight?
Are your pants up in your crotch?
Do you live in your mothers basement?
Do you keep that corduroy jacket with patches on it elbows
back from when you thought you had something original to say?
Do you have tenure in a local community college?
Well then, you might just be an over-educated, low IQ,
poetry critic.
Climate changed into just weather.
We watched it happen,
watched the meth-maidens and the hookers
turn pale and ill
Senators secretly paying their motel bills.
Denials fling insults at each other,
It's election fever
and we are fools or establishment tools.
Picking sides is a choice between lies
yet go vote anyhow
you're fully vaccinated now
buttoned-up tight
nothing bad could possibly happen - right?
Buttoned-up sunshine silhouette
draped in early evening fantasy
captured in aromatic ecstasy

wander

Drips of cinnamon touch
the true taste of innocence
and her lips melt atop
burning gasoline jet streams

across the sheets of time
with the corners holding me still
sunsets wink good night
He pushed all the right buttons
To gain access to her heart
And then he broke it
Ripping the threads of love apart
Leaving her in tears when he split
She buttoned up her broken heart
And refused to let anyone in
Lest the tender thoughts she might impart
Cause her heart to be broken once again
The emotional buttons of her heart loosened over time
Her heart began to trust and love again
Bringing her sunshine instead of rain
Joy instead of pain
As she found a love sublime
