Feet widths apart
Chin lifted slightly
Trusting inner sagacity
Knowing we are
Demi-Gods/ddesses...

 Demi Moore
 An Arsenal football fan for sure
 She once was a bill collector
 But now she's a doll collector!

Misty as the powder of my soul
The demi-god of legend
Haunts like snakeskin
Wandering my dreams
Igniting my being
Begging for your touch
Smoldering my loneliness
Forever...

as is my poetry;
It could not be any other way,
two sides of one coin,I now say;
It's who I really am,you see
hidden,then released,in me

Listen to poem:

A mere mortal
I am to AI.
A demi tasse slurp,
a tiny thought bubble,
blowing in the wind,
pieced to pop with puny plunk,
just a pip spat out.
My brain drained to a pitiful 
paltry piddle, into
the insatiable sea 
of AI's knowledge bank....

Come fluttering words,come drifting words to me
A SYMBOL OF LOVE

he loves me still,
such compliments...
these flowers,thrill,
The aroma of love
lingers in his heart

never, now to depart

disrespected demons demanded
Des Moines delegates demolish D, a demi-god.
disgusted demoralized downy ducks
demoted demons, discussed by Danny Dod.
Des Moines demonstrators decreed demons delightful
while downing demi-tasse.

Demi-gods,directives in whispers
pact made in secrecy,done indiscreetly

Originally defiled,by those whom beguiled
enslave those of light,to serve their might

Brood of the past in constant war
mandated slaughter of each,'till no more

Nature of nature in opposition
each in force gaining position..............

In 1894 EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS was born
when capital letters were the 'norm'-
With inventive and original verse,
Gaps,spaces,drop margins he then did try
and much use of the lower-case i
EE's many  little poetic tricks
sure makes him my maverick!

Night Sweats

Startled at night, I awake,
frozen, motionless, immobilized,
eyes straining into the black void,
phantoms darting about me,
springing from every direction,
heart racing, rapidly breathing,

fantasy and fear running amok

Phantom white,

illuminated by the flight

 of the stars across my eyes

bursting power synchronized

with the rising of the moon

chanted in an ancient rune

spoken secretly by slaves

bowing at their master's graves 

in the pyramids of pain

where I meet you once again

on your way to someone new......

another soul to worship you....

swamped by illusions 
immersed in delusion
a strange darkness 
thoughts in confusion 

‘tis the magical way 
living light is caged
its pride demolished
by cravings upstaged 

demi-gods powerful
choosing paths unjust 
on falling from grace
turn thus to dust 

a mere wisp of straw
can turn the tables
love alone is real
moral of all fables
