Short End Over End Poems

'Twas once the bicycle of life,
started down a cheerful lane,
past daisies beneath the sun, 
when Mary waved at me again,
just as my bike hit a bump,
And I flew end-over-end,
landing hard upon my head - thump!
Oh bicycle of life, my friend,
why me - to the afterlife you send?...

Golden hair shining in the breeze,
you-- strapped into the boat’s chair.
Feet braced, your mouth wide
and eyes lit up like an angel.
You are pulling the rod with
all your might, as the fish rises
into the sunlight, it glistens.
Turning end over end it gains
slack needed to throw the hook.
It rises once again into a mighty
leap over the stern where you sit.
With a sigh of relief, you know 
you will always remember, 
that salute as your trophy....

When angels speak of love
Voices echo but no sound
Comes forth from lips for
They never part
Just the pulsating drums
Rhythmically entrancing
Tis’ the beat of my lover
Her heart’s essence flowing
Eyes closed yet bodies
Knowing real love at first 
Sight my life finally has
Purpose to invent poetic 
Verses speak only of Jaimee’s 
Curses eyes capture my soul
I’m left helpless falling without 
End over end and over again
When angels speak of love
You never speak
You just live…...

The cute, lisping leather jacket
births from the door like
God's only child

and coos on the phone to
God
         knows whom.

He is the messiah
the one we've been waiting for.
Beautiful browned skin isn't
what the good were expecting

But,
     it is He who takes my
breath (with a veiled sashay)
           He who makes the

waters ebb and sway
the flowers grow old and
our earth shake
(as fine bone china
plates fall end over end
and break)

The cute lisping Latino boy....
