cold up heaved sandstone
brushed down to the bone...

Was it him?
No,
his brothers
tied grenades.
on dead black birds
heaved them high.
to fly, wings tied back,
up to a third story balcony....

...clumsy crescent heaved a sigh,
on the lawn callous clouds plied,
waving sewn stars by and by...

You and I
dancing in the margins
ever so gracefully.
Cues never lifted,
Doubts aflight.
Biases.
Perpendicular lives.
Merging?
perhaps, upon heaved veil...

What came to Ted that night,
heaved his hand
and burnt his pages and
gave us sage
and brutal phrases.
enormous, elemental flights
of reality.

Through birds-eye lens....

I wanted to go fishing in the ocean
Forgot the result of constant motion
You wouldn't believe
How much I heaved
Would give gold for a nausea potion

Fragility
 
Things break;
hearts bruise
hard purple
when heaved
off the edge
into air bled dry
from love, 
leaves
cracked veins
longing to be 
repaired.

Road stop
By cop

Perceived
Car weaved

Two Beers
Cop jeers

Slurs talk
Can't walk

Clyde weaved
And heaved

Ker splat
Fell flat

Clyde drunk
As skunk

Tests muffed
Handcuffed

To jail
No bail

Transport
To court

Demand
Remand

Severe
One year

Oh dear
No beer...

I dreamed a dream
from within a dream
of a madcap search
for the Silver Lady.

Silver Lady lost and found
Silver Lady lost…
I heaved and cry-cried bitter tears
'til time became an ash.

Through fissure of a shattered heart
the Silver Lady lost was found
and alchemized
into the Golden essence of you....

Where is it? Where is it?
My lonely lower appendage heaved a sigh
His shoe had gone on the lam
I searched until my end's wit!
But what do I see..with Spot in the dirty backyard pit?
Is that a bone of ham?
Why, its a moccasin, buried laces high!
"Hey! That's my shoe," I cry
And Spot just barked at me in reply...

as yesterdays hand 
slips off my shoulder,
and tomorrows embrace
takes my lips


in this,  today
I breathe a thousand
sighs 
and soar 
a breathless wind


I’ve heaved the night
until the day broke


and stood in the middle
of all and nothing


and now, 
I live
in the Milli seconds
between this word


and the next...

(Co-written by my son for a school assignment)

I punched my sister
in the stomach
to try to retrieve
my goldfish crackers

She cried like fish droppings
because her stomach hurt
then the smell of vomit
heaved upon my chest

My apologies spilled
like her putrid crackers
I'm sorry
I didn't punch her in the face instead

Heartstrings levered,
Your skin foliated, 

We tug our veins in a last passage,
Kipper the medical syndrome, 
Cancer made you the sacrificed... 

I clasp my little baby boy,
His eyes are the silencer, 

Let life be the sequencer,
You will remain in my storge,
Heaved in my heart. 

Cancroid will flush my benign,
My water of life,
Dad will always love you....

R-each the midnight time, 
O-n the brand new year's eve; 
B-efore the first of January, 
E-very sigh of relief is heaved. 
R-ejoice over the midnight time, only ten twilights away; 
T-wenty-first of December is a preview of fireworks display. 

S-unday December thirty-first 
I-s going to be sublime; 
C-oal black sky will turn bright 
A-fter the midnight 
T-ime....

White robe covered the earth,
all were dressed up in white

Protected by God's mercy,
they seemed happy like a bride in the wedding day 

Calm, bliss and serenity filled the air,
there was mersmerising peace around

As men worked with shovels in hand,
nature heaved a sigh of relief.

Clothed in warm blanket of white,
nature thanked God for much needed respite....

This trail of sorrows overwhelms me crushing my spirit, my soul, my hopes…..  Oh that I could  bring end to this path of pain and reconciliation to the life that was once mine, though I have no right to curse this darkness which has heaved itself so heavily upon me for I alone stand responsible for the torment I now suffer. Savage and deep the bite of this hell, mine alone to bare....

Heat hovers in the violet evening veil,
Adorned by she whose violent eyes glow white.
As static from her nimbus iris hails,
Ionic bolts of plasmic sound and light
Reveal sights of what’s hiding in the night.
Such nonce electric shocks across the sky,
Which tear the air with bolts of dynamite,
‘Tis but bitter breath blown from but a sigh,
Heaved from the bifrost ‘fore an Asgardian eye.

the colorful, condescending cat sat on a meaty, meaningful mat while eating a repugnant, ruthless rat

the caring, contented cat sat on this a mangy, murderous mat while eating a remarkable, rough, ruthless rat


the clean, clear cat sat on a mellow, while coughing up huge horrific, heaved hairballs magical mat after digesting it…

Clouds swirling, bird circling
The Heavens rumbled, heaved a sigh
Ventured forth a lad, he bore no Cross
Through angry streets, refuse-tossed

Flies buzzed 'round him, fetid friends
Night air crackled, 'neath ammunition's lens
The lad strained hearts for a crust or crumb
Hope lay dormant, her voice struck dumb...

Bled dry, they covered him, face down in a gutter
War's verdict sealed, its unutterable utter...

One day my half brother Eric 
From Oklahoma, visited us
He brought with him some fake vomit
Just to see who he could disgust!

When he was close to my grandma
He heaved and dropped it on the floor
We laughed at the look on her face
First a giggle, then up to a roar!

Then we saw her sweeping it up
At the trash can she threw it in
Even though we said, "It's not real!"
She shuffled off, and I saw her grin!...

Wanting solitude I walked by the sea
Anxious sky, plunging surf , gulls calling..
            I left a trail of footprints in the sand.

I saw a ship far out, sails torn by the wind
It rolled and heaved and staggered…
            I left a trail of footprints in the sand.

I heard a ship went down that day
With never a  monument erected..
But I remember that lonely day
             And footprints in the sand...

Turned it loose and got drunk
As a smelly old skunk
On disgusting cheap wine
In the Carolina pines

Shot guns at thin air
(Who the heck gonna' care?)
Weren't it fun, weren't it fine
In the Carolina pines?

Then we REALLY got clobbered
We staggered and slobbered
We wallowed like swine
In the Carolina pines

(In the morning we grieved
We hocked and we heaved
We whimpered and whined
In the Carolina pines)

On hillsides
far from city streets
black and white masses bound
Backs warmed by sun’s rays
Feasts of glorious
green grasses
Crystal clear barrels quench thirst
Aged bodies heaved with care
Post life parings

Thick scarlet sludge
siphoned through cement holes
Walls echo
screams of heavy hanging bodies
separated kin
Buzzing hums
rip wriggling flesh
and spill life
from their fattened bellies....

Was it something I said inadvertently
Did my eyes reveal uncertainty
O, why'd you leave

Was my rapt listening inattentive
Or passion's kisses uninventive
O, how I grieve  

Alcohol, not once did I abuse
Or narcotics ever use
O, the sighs I've heaved

To the kids, I was devoted
On your mother, I always doted
O, please believe...

That now I'll never be the same
That I'll forever myself blame
~ To your memory, I will cleave...

He closed his eyes and heaved a sigh
and thought, 'I know it's time to die.
I hope what's there is kind to me,
and now it's time to see...!'

His body laying cold and dead,
his spirit hovered overhead,
and as he floated like a kite,
he searched in vain for light.

The light he'd heard awaited him
just wasn't there, not even dim -
he realised then, with a groan,
'I'm doomed to roam alone.'
