Buried in this plot, Anna Elise

My Wooden Belly drones... on your hunger
Hunger for the textures that line-
Crease me over
over and over, until 'fit inbetween the cracks,
slock- your sock is tired after runnin',
hangs on the rack,
the rack that has a crack,
the rack that some lack...
like men....

Ten million dollars is quite a lot*
But not when Trump wants what one has got!
A sudden increase
In funding Elise 
Was proof enough Trump hit the right spot! 

* Funding for Rep. Elise Stefanik soared
From $2.8-million to $13.3 million after
she switched allegiance to the Trump cult!...

Fur Elise I play
For you I come to stay
Up close I prick with gay
Notes of you I lay and pray

Fur Elise I travel far
Poems of you I fill my jar
Up the hill I reach for you
Down the hill I search for you

Fur Elise I sing to you
Under the tree I long for you
Wherever I go I carry you
Above the sky I dream of you......

TANKA LOVE MUSIC

how familiar that tune –
the enchanting night
your warm embrace –
now i remember
claire de lune


piano - four hands
fur elise      you’ve never heard
such cross-overs
our hands would touch
and we’d laugh


my love with child
not my own
yet some eternal source within
said,     “i forgive”
transfigured night *

*Arnold Schoenberg

We are in the furniture store.
Oops. Pardon me, ma’am.
We are in the DEEEEE SIGN….ERRRR Store.
I see a bed I like.
I say “I feel like throwing a match in my house and starting over.”
Elise is snickering on cue.
The designer of the month is walking behind us.
I know because I recognize her from her giant photos in the store.
She says “We have matches here.”
I like her but not this prissy store....

Morning calls as her spinet notes hum
a heated Fur Elise with many rays of love
dancing drops of glory beat upon a song
inside my painted dreams I sing along

Gentle thoughts float as I arise
longing toward such soothing eyes
wafts of honeysuckle fill the air
a precious smile for you are there

As day breaks and we take a pause
enjoy all her beauty without a cause
my hand rests upon her placid cheek
for another love I shan't ever seek...

 POET PRAYS.


YA ALLAH,
Please give me the sense of being,
To forbear all wrong doing,
To follow the right path,
To support needy is an art,
No anger,no regrets,
Wanderer with no begets,
Give me the satisfaction and bliss,
To correct all amiss,
Bestow me with the fur elise,
That instills my forte.


 P.S-Ya Allah means O God in Arabic.
