This Lonely Little Hovel

the grainy half dusk
when the sun gives her last wink
hours spent in thought 
to leave the safe sanctity
this lonely little hovel

Desired Moment

Footprints
In grainy sand
Mute witness of the walk
Along the beach shore holding hands
In dreams

Fish,Fish,Fish

Dressed crab with bread crumb egg
Scallops with almonds
Sour cream mash & fennel sauce
Grainy mustard edge
Buttered risotto
Washed down with
Beers!

Flesh and Blood Is Love

It is not made of
Solid stone or grainy sand
Flesh and blood is love.

You Cannot Make It Up

Life
    is a window
an opportunity
    a picture 
of beauty,
flung open
for all to see
profound
complex,yes
with twists
and turns,
never flawless
but speckled,
grainy
a gossamer..
here today
where?
       ...tomorrow

Flowerterrible

Memories rest,
Flowerterrible, in beds of summer
Soils. Each petal a
Struggle of colour
Against grainy backbeats;
Come Autumn, the
Omnipotent spring goddess
Takes to crossing sidewalks.

The Beauty of Peace

Sitting on the beach On a grainy bed of sand, The warm breeze whispers. * The warm breeze whispers In a soft current of air, Off the blue water. * Off the blue water Nature’s reflections reflect, The beauty of peace.

Barefoot

Behold
A voice announces
Release me
Expose me to the elements
Free me from fungus
Outdoors
Over cool ticklish grass, warm grainy sidewalks, and prankish pebbles
Time to rejoice

Death Inside

Death ingrained on my lifeless sandy soul Grinding through my grainy veins No heart, no love inside

Grainy Photos

Actually a rondolet

Grainy photos
On milk cartons of missing kids
Grainy photos
In the hopes that somebody knows
Where they are now and who they're with
Parents prayers enclosed within
Grainy photos

she had been searching for grumpy gourd

lovely lively lithe Louise Lampford
grew a grainy greasy grumpy gourd
believing beyond belief in Baker’s board
she said she’d been searching for a grumpy gourd.
We thought this would delight Louise Lampford
But she could not cut the beast with machete or sword.

Heroes of Yesteryear

In our minds, they are giants
  those heroes of yesteryear
presidents, generals, boxing champs
  O, how we stood and cheered

We view them now on grainy film
  the cruelest shock do we receive
These puny men our eyes deceived
  No more in them can we believe

Sugar Skin

Sugar skin 
is what he said, 
is it true?
She believed either way...

Sun boils  
and radiates
sweats to the earth 
then beads form and seperate
on her skin
eventually
evaporates
turns to the smell of a sweet
grainy substance
that he breathes in,
sugar skin

Their Loving Cup

Their loving cup sits on a shelf
     stained by the dust gathered there
   Next to a grainy photo of the chair
     where he first styled her hair

   Tears trickle 'cross the windshield
     their first and last car
   Lips melting on a screeching curve
     intersecting the moon and the stars

Mortal Blues

That satanic streak
of tireless undressing
of a hapless monarch.

Wings were gone. Cannot fly
across the tree 
of hypocricy.

A footmat for the suicidal jump
from the elegant hierarchy
to grainy lies.

Why are you turning ungreen ?
You will dig up the temple
without god ?

Night Watch

The cresting sea set beneath the glowing moon
Gave way to many who set there to swoon
Reflective waters warm up this June
The night is set for love

The grainy sand is the bed on which they will lie
Their blanket remains the moon adorned sky
The surf is the sound to drown away cries
As they gaze at the beauty above

Chaos Imagined

re-post inspired by Nette contest

From grainy graduations of dark chaos
multiple emotions leap out and erupt
from the unconscious mind.Angst in
moody blue,beauty of random gestures.
Perversity facing up to life,a lyrical dream
a panorama of varied shapes balanced in
space,shadowing  floor to ceilng with
mobile images in silhouette.

Personal Memories

Dear Auntie, play with me now and let’s ignite,

With a plucking of guitar strings, the hours incite

A score of lyrics jiggling as my thrills excite;

Wondering how those grainy sounds can take flight

That a baby like me needs to make do-re-mi right!

The Photograph

I don’t recognize myself;
this is not uncommon,
but he seems to me like a pale root
dragged-up to be exposed to sooty clouds;
one raw and unearthed by quarrying shadows.
A grainy tinge shades vacant eyes.
In the distance, tenement towers -
grey tusks in a monochrome sky.
A callus of light embalms a sallow horizon,
revealing just enough of the child
to spook the dead.

Pixilated Portraits

Drowning in foolish beliefs;
Pixilated portraits falling off
Corroded walls;
Blank canvases pervaded by
Grainy brush strokes,
Billowing amidst scattered flickers of
Crumbling structures,
Ambling in blighted stillness.
Venturing to find equilibrium in
This cryptic world,
Stranded and abandoned,
Layered upon a
Pillar of empiric darkness,
Glazed in meaningless semantics.

The Photograph

I don’t recognize myself; this is not uncommon, but he seems to me like a white root suddenly exposed to sooty clouds; a tendril unearthed by quarrying shadows. A grainy tinge shades vacant eyes. In the distance, tenement towers - grey tusks in a monochrome sky. A callus of light is seen in the distance it reveals just enough of him to spook the dead.

1970

It was the year of `Spirit in the Sky.’
I kept your picture, Irene.
Norman Greenbaum
has his own webpage now,
imagine that?

Your grainy wedding photograph
(cut at the time from a local newspaper),
has emerged again
as a yellow submarine.
Your rainbow stockings still fly
from that long-abandoned vessel,

now all we need is to peer together
from the same periscope.

ACCEPTANCE

ACCEPTANCE

Thinking that I’m happy today
Well now, isn’t that just great
It makes a change, you think
Faking it right up to the brink
What you probably anticipate
When hearing a donkey bray

My smile, almost a rictus grin
Almost as cold as shiny shoes
Joy is an old grainy TV show
It’s canned laughter you know
I guess it’s time for the blues
They’ve arrived, show them in

imperious

            brainy

            snooty
            about 
            petty booty

she is screw brained and gets in brain.
