Short Heartlands Poems

When all the marbles leave the bag
Fret not, weekend wrangler,
For the beat of your heart 
Wobbles the very Earth

This your wounded year
With waves calling from pier to pier
Rise, rise your gutless cheer!

Fear not the flashing spheres
Running over shadow-patched cracks
Gleaming with the glory of unkept dreams
Sending shockwaves through Heartlands....

Wandering past bungalows
Sneaking through high covenant areas
Setting servants and dogs barking.

I go home
Desperation crawls in to the heartlands
As dawn crawls in.

Bastards!
They’ve built towers
Everywhere.

Down below I will build a house no bigger than myself
There will be no roof and no walls
I’ll step out into the darkness

If you are nearby one day pay me a visit
And please, plant me a sunflower
For a little glow....

“Don’t Write Poems“
*************

what can I say i write poetry my life
in solitude yet to read the original
will it please, you tease
your words spectres roaming blind
then ouch pain spectres hit a nerve
inspired my words poetry
please do not say do not write
with words i explore
wonderlands fairylands dreams
the heartlands of my soul

Let destiny create a distance... 
Firestorm of roses will set an inferno...
Arrow goading the scented sceneries. 

Maniac in love, heartlands of homophiles.
Lovely heart cradled in my lover's arms... 

Glass dome saving the last petal...
Canvass the soil for a sepal... 

Eclipse eyes yearning forever this memory, 
Century of love marking romantique history,
Chancery charming this unsettled elapse... 

Bowing on the vow of your untangled fragrance, 
Heart on your heart always....
