biological torture begins
as a plea for a re-fill disturbs....

early morning frost—
a squirrel empties fat cheeks
inside the old log


a flutter of wings
at Sol’s dawning—
damp bare branches...

Anger empties the human brain
    leaves behind the mark of Cain

  The face of him who's slammed is drained
    ~ once-vibrant heart now silenced, slain...

too much whipped cream
on the half-calf latte of over indulgence
a little more as the cup empties
& we try to fill the void
then your whole mouth just tastes like dairy
& you want to throw up...

slow hands
make mountains
moved at the mercy of your gaze
devotion melted
into a word of praise
your smile
empties me of myself
i am yours
my desire is to be so
and remain
until your light
may release me...

In a bubble
A big
glass bubble

Inside
breath fills
outside empties

People preplayed
movies
Clouds airbrushed
stilled in motion
Pigions in
motionless flight

I am looking for 
a crack
A way in
A way out...

Experience

Is the name of

A personal story

Dressing

The concept:

I am..

Time and space

Form the shore lines

Of this conditioned

Adventure..

Which empties

With the appearance

Of a new story......

He lives in a glass house
Hemmed in by carefully constructed
Alibis
Yet he will heave rocks that break me
Empties me
Pours me out
Fills me up
With weak promises
Faceless hope
Then once again
Stones me 'til I'm 
Bones...

And the air cools and empties

The darkened beach,

Like Edward Storer, the poet,

One would toss away all one's poetry as failure,

As no rival for Her pale blue eyes,

There so infinitely deeper than the rushing, deep blue sea...

A look
from you and
suddenly my
mind just isn’t
the same

It empties
out, erases
blank, and then
it pictures you

But when
you’re gone
the feeling leaves
as suddenly as
it came

My mind
comes back,
your picture’s
gone, my sweet
joy is through...

A table at the bar
next to the window.
A steaming coffee
vapor that disappears.
A long wait
of a latent hope.
A clock that hits
tormenting hours.
A cup that empties
and cool slowly.
A table at the bar
with a cup, a tear,
and someone who will not come....

finally!    He’s home
candy bag on the table
he empties it out
sugar content enormous!
and    with one brown    crinkled leaf

cool    just a light frost
and the goblins are playing
for it’s Halloween
my doorbell rings    No one there
smell of sulfur in the air...

A Sea of Stars


The
Fountain
Overflows 
Cascading down
A slope and a steep 
Rocky ledge that empties 
Into a reservoir, a
Serene and tranquil feeling , what
A scene, what a dream birds fly up high 
Fish swim underground in a sea of stars

Autumn's Gift

Autumn empties herself out
Everything - her gifts from summer-spring maturity -
All her bounty - never hoarded in a grasping hand -
Gathered and released before howling hind sights.

Do the sands of time
flow so quickly,
that we must 
compromise
our hearts, 
so as not to be 
alone?

As one bulb empties
into the other,
does our capacity
to love
drain away 
along with it
forever?

If we had 
but one grain
of true love
in our glass,
is that not 
worth a lifetime's
waiting?...

As I lie here on my bed,
time stands still
sorrow and compassion enter the room,
as my mind empties 
For nothing now is sweeter than your scent,
Which is as strong as mother nature's beauty,
on a sunny day
your smile is like the moon,
it glows
your touch is as gentle
as a feather
your presence is like,
no other...

Living to love?
Stab me swiftly
In the heart. Where
He watches as its
Red empties
Itself.

The meat tastes like pity.
So he smiles at me with pity,
Holds my hand with pity.
I am his,
In pity.

Enough.

A past perpetuating pity
Has no future for a love.
Remove His scythe.
And the fool, one day, will restore
Until I hurt for his love, once more....

As this cup empties, I slowly fade from me.
As day's torn by night, 
We drift from the light.

And as hope drifts away, we're left with broken dreams and memories.
Lead us through this one and you'll find hope is gone.
Please don't fade away, please, just use your wings and fly.
False memories never lived.
Please mark my grave as "Unknown"...
