Heavens tears slow drip
Escalating fresh freedom
Waking moistless souls...

Difficult Problems Horn Haiku

Are escalating;
At same time elevating;
Difficult problems.

My sister Lucille tried levitating
A practice which she found elevating
One foot up, then plop
Her body it dropped
And her arthritis is escalating.

You fling words
with the same concern
as skimming stones
offhandedly 
and
unenlightened 
not once
recognizing 
the escalating consequences 
upon the delicate ecosystems 
of the human psyche...

smoking little houses
narrow bridge on the black
water sleeping ripple less
we are escalating
green fades beyond space
greyish blue sky surrounds
through the turbulent wings
we are a speck of dust...

Her lips touch me so gently
      Unveiling the passion of her tongue
      Near the spot that makes my nature rise
      Growing inch by inch
      Escalating our desires to another level
      Releasing our tension for a lifetime...

Sensually satisfying, passing the brim
Escalating ecstasy, I feel I could swim  
Xeroxing every act, to keep in my memory bank

Of course I just want to do it ( a lot ) with him.

tainted by morning dew
hearlding fresh aroma bursts
escalating a lasting smile thats


raidiant as the virgin snow
opening and unfurling petals 
sprouting new beginings that
envelopes it's natural  beauty

Madness
Mild Psychosis
Grips fragile Precipice
Escalating Insanity
Purple sirens poised beneath numb bleached eyes
Staring down white bulbs blanking glare
Piercing screams flip the surge
Neurostatements
Madness

silent kisses
escalating warmth
petals of roses
volcanic eruptions
in the outer stratosphere
spatulate fingers intoxicated
searching in the aqueducts
dark moist soil waiting
your luminous eyes
entangled in new
rain dark pools
i drown in bliss

My heart is rapid
Escalating by the second,
Flutters?
Flustered?

No.
That's not it.
That feels different
This…this is less innocent

A need,
To fulfill his desire,
But it feels awkward;
Doctored

After i’ve stopped him,
I realize
I'm not enough;
Hardly got any stuff

peace
                       quiet, stable
         restoring, promoting, preserving 
   honorable, peaceful, belligerency, conflict 
           shooting, declaring, escalating, 
                    disastrous, unjust 
                              war

breeze of flute
in the bamboo
woods
she blows out
blazing butterflies
of red yellow and
blue
patterns lost in the
distance
hamstrings are taut
we are de escalating
clusters of huts in 
the destroyed villages
of the greedy war
black roads curve like
snakes
tiny movements in
the man made paths
why do we worry...

Listen to poem:

Illustrious 
Phantom
You chase 
My desire 
For satisfaction
As I chase you
Hither and thither
Like the rainbow's end
Always just out of reach
Escalating intensity or just
A trick of the cruel mind
Dancing across my skin
Infiltrating my sanity
As a ghostly feather 
Until I find your 
Illusive hiding
Place
Ahh
...

visual
scanned living sunrise dissolve
to deadpan fall of dusk

audio
whispers broadcast sweet
to escalating screams

olfactory
perfume scents of rose
to blast of graveyard musk

taste
lip-synched cherry kiss
to sucking blood of dreams

tactile
vibrant love and hate
forged in gossamer fire

conceived immaculate...

To give life, and have that life dejected away, within seconds….. Pleading for a precedent, Incapable of escalating.
 Designed second, within spent habits, disqualified from my child. Bitter sentiments of mediocrity and anguish. Powerless to retreat, decisively surrendering. Trusting to lull my droll agony, melancholy. Imploring for my termination....

The deep sighs come unbidden,
Without my knowing why.
A love that is no longer,
Yet hurts too much to cry.
How much does sorrow weigh?
My scales do not say true.
How long the yard-stick needed
To measure color blue?
Pain ever escalating
Shall be at ending never.
The weight, the time, the measuring,
The sighs go on forever.

In this decade: pizza, soda, 
Colonel Sanders, 
burgers only fifteen cents;
"Tutti Frutti," 
sock hops, "mooning," 
Rock and Roll (monumental consequence);

Rosa's bus ride, 
suburbs, fluoride,
escalating sales, 
vaccine for polio;
Mickey Mouse Club, 
Haley, Hitchcock, 
Davy Crockett, 
drive-ins,
 Fats Domino;

Causeless Rebel crashing car, 
bouffant hairdos,
 "har dee har har;"
Elvis on TV

 and ME....

The deep sighs come unbidden,
without my knowing why.
A love that is no longer,
yet hurts too much to cry.
Tears pooling in my heart
to stay there until death.
They overflow into my throat
and I must catch my breath.
How much does sorrow weigh?
my scales do not say true.
How long the yard-stick needed
to measure color blue?
Pain ever escalating 
shall be at ending never.
The weight, the time, the measuring,
the sighs go on forever....

Suttle serenade builds over time like a lovers rhythm,
Passions rhyme sends seductive sensations swirling,
Fulfilling senses surround sensual serene sanctuaries,
Touching from a hairs width of touching,
Lovers feel the aura of authentic energy radiate,
Escalating synergy transports through static places,
Where soul mates kiss from a breath away,
Traveling through time, whispering lips, and glowing faces.

The deep sighs come unbidden,
Without my knowing why.
A love that is no longer
Yet hurts too much to cry.
Tears pooling in my heart
To stay there until death.
They over-flow into my breast
And I must catch my breath.

How much does sorrow weigh?
My scales do not say true.
How long the yard-stick needed
To measure color blue?
Pain ever escalating
Shall be at ending never.
The weight, the time, the measuring,
The sighs go on forever.

Ready or not
can't escape this ride
or the escalating surge
as the body leaves the pride
without a last word ...
traveling swiftly
through inky darkness
toward a brillant light
off in the distance ...
no more tears, no fright
flying ever forward
where the brightness begins
to take up my life
and the tunnel of love
removes all strife
as the I and Me and Mine
disappear in the bright
becoming the Light ...
becoming the Love ...
for all eternity....

Vision a nightmare
picture a circle of death,
Escalating the fight for life
and suppression of breath,
Praying into the wind
to save all that is left,
Ever wonder if she can here you
and if so will he help,
Questioning God because Allah
allows so much pain,
And Buddha teaches me much
except dodging the rain,
Or can I really be that blind
taking the fight to my brother,
Blood for blood right mama
After I tell her I love her,
Then I turn my back to the world...

I hear a voice
whispering gently
bring me home

standing on sands
of time
leaving a footprint
upon the soul
holding hands out
in kissing dreams

My fingers reach out
passing yours
a touch softly

sailing an ocean
flowing to you
paradise island
chambers reserved
in a dream

My breath trembles
anticipating inhale
exhale escalating

once kissed
the soul
becomes real
a dazzling treasure
held in chambers
forever more

A little nightingale
flew out 
my heart window
resting in yours...

The sun is hot
Pretty colours on the rise
Horns honking, men whistling
Women parading
Skirts swaying
Side too side.
Children prancing
Smiles all around
Everyone’s having fun
Split, Splash, Rub, Dub
I can see everyone enjoying the sun.
Time ticking
No one’s worrying
Water flowing
Waves intensifying
Pools filling
People diving.
Lifeguard watching
Summer ‘s coming
Flowers blooming
Mothers shopping
Cities populating
Tourist increasing
Money escalating
Politicians pocketing....
