Coy you are.
I saw you be a
Koi in the pond
When you swam by me.
Coiling colors
In swaying reeds...
Then a duck came,
So I ducked in the trees.
Form:
Coiling up
It bursts into the air
Leaving cloud like puffs
To move in the air
Where it disappears to
No one quite sure
Not even I
Or the wisest of all
coiling clouds
like parachutes
on top of the tiny houses
velvet blue dipping
in the snowish white
muddy roads of soily
brown stretching
they didnt know on
the carts before
Form:
Life is a vortex of pain,
Coiling into the abyss.
To never kill the spirit,
But to cause grief infinite.
Yet with death pain abated,
My mind cleared of all its woe,
I shall rest six feet below.
Fusing closed
Secrete yourself away
In vermilion blossoms
Inside hushed anguish
Coiling up
In a fetal comfort
Beyond everything
Denying breath
Slowly fading
Within the confines
Of a blood red rose
Like a boa constrictor
Coiling round its prey
Cutting off the blood supply.
Negative emotions slowly
Squeeze out all life.
Agony and anxiety
Ultimately kills hearts.
Life is extinct.
Don't worry yourself to death.
The drum roll
beats out control
in a game
of warped reframe.
On a coiling balustrade
plays meister masquerade
to craft the will
at bellowed drill.
Docile rule
disarms to fool.
With artful ruse
the vapid lose.
Upon shy reach,
His fingers touch mine—
Quickly though, they move away from me…
I bite his lips,
Crushing his coiling coy
And snatch his hands back onto me
I am a cobra…
I dance to the beat of his anxious worship
..they swirl in swarms across
the darkening
skyline,
spiralling round the huge tree
like a coiling
vine;
they snuggle tight for the
night at the
canopy,
lansijang birds of Bohol
doze off
serenely..
Teeming pools of spawning thoughts
Irrational coiling tendrils and knots
Restless limbs and rattled brain
Exquisite need for some slight refrain
Deprived of basal corporal need...
...I am so...tired.
Tiny bus bumps along Ephesian roads
bright orange sun hangs overhead scorching
uneven ground lined with creases
library; crumbled and marked
with seal--Medusa’s hair
coiling around, eyes
burning my soul
she sends chills
down my
spine.
Form:
Hand to hand
combat
with dragons,
coiling from the cracks
in your past,
and winding
upward,
like ribbons of smokey numbness.
Is little
left by now?
I remember...
and I forget,
and I hope
you have tucked
them -
all snugly in bed.

In a coiling maze
mortars fume.
Crimson cadavers
dye the verdant soil.
Poison spears plunge
craters into young flesh.
Scattered moans rise
into the sorrowing air
of deafened canons
and carbon.
No succour or welcome
for the maimed.
Only ghosts
of peace.
Kings drained the goblet
silver and pearlescent.
A sweet odour drifted
coiling heavenward
to feathered cloud spires
where ancient muses chanted
in tongues of mystery
and offered blessed words
inscribed on filigree parchment
engraved with magic images
worthy of few mortals.
As graceful spine bends with the night
That every movement draws delight
Like a bone of pinion on flight
While my own wings cuddle her tight---
But in slumber, she lounges bright
And coiling near me, I alight---
As graceful spine bends with the night.
Lovely Bones
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the kitchen at 3 a.m.,
dust motes hang suspended
in a wedge of streetlamp glow.
Grandmother's teacup
rests half-full on the counter,
steam still coiling upwards
though she left thirty years ago.
The linoleum remembers.
Lake Superior, Gitche Gumee
November winds, fear starts boiling.
The ship creaks, groans, twists, water spumy;
Thoughts of loved ones waiting on shore pushed aside.
Evil eye of the storm is coiling
And springs to release twenty-nine souls into the debris.
The church bell twenty-nine times is tolling.
This tainted porcelain flesh
Shifting, Shaping, Sculpting
Woman forming Woman
Your spirit a dark wind
Coiling, Stretching, Reaching
Your heart a wild stalking beast
Timid, Powerful, Playful
Your body clay soft
Raw, Pink, Alabaster
Your mind a living ocean
Dancing, Magical, Emerald
Depths of Imagination
rhythm
writhing along ~
arms coiling, finger snaps,
free wheeling waist undulating.
strobe light creates a scene otherworldly,
bathed in the shadow of romance.
our eyes and hips touching,
and lips humming...

Oh, what the hell just toss one in Contest (John Lawless)
10th place
A graceful spine bends with the night
That every movement draws delight
Like a bone of pinion on flight
While my own wings cuddle him tight---
But in slumber, he lounges bright
And coiling near me, I alight---
As graceful spine bends with the night

Crisp the leaf she nibbles
Coiling in yellow dress,
Cocooned…waiting to bloom.
Close to freedom, nights pass
Cuddling her lustruos threads…
Chrysalis, queen of frills
Changed as a butterfly!

In a tiara and wings
Zigging
Zagging
Bounding with being
I am a queen
Doing that little dance
That tells you
Everywhere I've been
Abloom
Abuzz
Bathing in
The pollen of play
Lapping up life
Nectaring
Dripping
Coiling to spring
You wouldn't know it
By looking at me
But I can fly!
And then comes the sting

The music cannot be denied,
it unwinds like an articulated dragon
through a metallically ringing void.
Then there is the silk serpent
hidden in the driving engine
the closed-eyed coiling.
The hairs in my ears dance;
the notes are calling out stars;
not the ones we see,
but dark stars
born in the disheveled rooms
of fallen angels.
Medicant!
Smooth velvet drapes
on a silken skin
Soothing evening operas;
tonic to thirsty tongues.
Tranquil!
Calm as sea breeze
Soporific lullaby sung
from the
lips of unseen spirits
Drapes of solitude
Cooing
Whispers of words.
Surreal!
Enternity-still nights in
silent neighborhoods
Coy coiling coils
Seeping stillness
Silence!
