tiger lands crouch position
nostrils and eyes flared...

Flies by  at top speed
nostrils flared wide open
dogs bray in pursuit

bright,
    flare-night,
    lit up nice,
 target hit twice,
      flared...

across my sizzling steak
our intercourse flared
ignited our excitement
shared seared passions smoke...

There once was a cowboy from Nevada.
He wore a barf bag as a bandana. 
When he rode on his horse,
his sickness grew worse,
and his intestines flared with melena....

Beta splendens poses,
in vibrant aquacolour 
gills flared, fins spread
in full display 
to the mirror image 
on the other side
of the bowl that 
is its world....

Heart broken
from anger
exploded violently.

Tender touch
escaped emotions.
Flared empty
tears flow...

Help me please!

As hurt masks
frustrations want
for lovable understanding...

Your beauty
winked at me,
Then crowd 
Wrapped you up by the fogged.
And in it's palms,
Extraordinary , drowned.
But the haze of the eyes
Flared up.
In semi-darkness ,
Pulled me along....

elegantly dressed
her black hair in a tight bun
above her proud head
like a coiled up rattlesnake
flared hood and ready to strike

Sitting in my car waiting for my dear
Not everybody's as nice as me I fear
Fighting for parking a spot
Tempers sure flared a lot
Wonder they didn't kick each other in the rear

when sunshine emerged
a polka dot rainbow flared
above green treetops

things were looking up
all the colors coming down
children chased balloons

many-hued nature
has unending surprises
like diamonds in dirt...

Bedroom Wall

Hidden in 
the small space in 
my bedroom wall are a 
bit flared skirts (witches skirts only), fairy shoes, bottles of 
elf arm hairs, alien dried poop, urine vials too, and 
lutes of 
egg whites rotting.

Inferno heart.                     03/29/2020


As my heart beats,
My blood speeds,
Through all veins,

But never sprains,
My organs work,
No blood cork,

Dont be flared,
Take a glare,
Where'd it start,
Oh yeah, the heart....

Cross starred-
sitting right across,
pure decadence of silence.

Passion flared-
Love aired-
What joy in thee.

Soft movement,
creaking floor,
random burst-

D---

Oh why?

Silence abound-

Love aired.

Smiles all around....

Lips dance,
flirt together -
romance.

Sweet breath - 
language of love
‘til death.

Hearts flared -
poetic words
declared!

Hope seeking a clue, I pursue 

cloudy truths within your fickle climate.

When I try to riot your depths of private,

your sky-air raises flared hints of midnight blue

that shape breezy, vague tints atop views of you.

A proud bird fan-struts across the grass; feathered-eyes, full-flared.

Yellow, blue and green neon glows, in the afternoon sunlight’s rays.

Crowned head, held high; puffed breast, shiny feathers; a grand peacock display.

I saw her in the sky this morn
  ghostly pale and forlorn
She couldn't even wink at me
  display her craters or her seas

I turned away, then hurried off
  my over-sensitivity to quaff
When a spark inside me brightly flared
  ~ The moon's still mine to view up there...

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of
 fear -- not absence of fear." - Mark Twain 


A courageous old knight found that there'd
still come times when anxiety flared
but he'd learned through the years
that to conquer one's fears,
one must not be afraid to be scared...

Optimistically
The day was dying
In the twilight of the horizon,
White unicorn with shaken mane
Was sowing 
a peacekeeping seed in the hearts.
Sped through flared ridges
To dive in a lake's pupil,
Forest fairies
To be flooded by moondrops
With them to play
Till the dawn cracks
Breaking the root of the dream....

We sang songs of our revolution 
For Antiwar beats as the solution
Wanting the age of Aquarius now
In tie-die shirts and flared trousers wow!

Times when the world was mine
And friends that were one of a kind
Endless Summers of complete sunshine
The 60s and 70s were one of a kind!

fondness flared in a flicker of fashion
feathered flight flirtation
and discover the darker depths
to dance in the delight of a dream
abounding aroma of the array
amazing aura in the air
in silent spirituality, serenity
slices of strangulation suspended

Boy. Boy. Boy.
You're so unpredictable
You even kissed me on my table
Maybe you had found me usable

Boy. Boy. Boy.
You didn't even stay with me
You didn't even love me
But you could rise curiosity out of me

Boy. Boy. Boy.
So much memories to be shared
but then again, darling
It was never love that flared...
