hieroglyphics 
depictions of
the supposedly 
good old days
when all was 
well within the 
land of falsehood
of a land that never 
truly ever existed...

Serpents in Egypt engraved images for each being
Unveiling the lack of discursive reasoning in the heavens
Not manmade patterns to represent sounds and reasonings...

Guess one could say this guy's prolific
Turning out poems in my hieroglyphics
Perhaps misunderstood
Been since boyhood
Sometimes babbling on bout dipsticks...

Guess one could say this guy's prolific
Turning out poems in my hieroglyphics
Perhaps misunderstood
Been since boyhood
Just babbling on bout nothing specific...

ruins remain
hieroglyphics 
scratched upon 
the internal
walls of the 
soul
depicting what
once was but 
now is not 
symbols left 
as unpleasant
reminders of 
a time long gone
that can never 
return...

Fanciful musings written in challenged braille scribbles
   midst reveries' graffito on stone-cold deafening walls, 
like Greek hieroglyphics for the poetically deranged
  awaiting symmetry's reflectively critiqued paroxysms...

Seven poems in about seven minutes.
My writing hand is laughing to keep up.
I doubt I will be able to read half of this later.
Some of the words look like off kilter hieroglyphics.
We are in glee mode, my muse and I.
Do not stop us by trying to worry us about penmanship now.
We cannot hear you anyway....

from dusk until dawn
it did
from Florida to Maine
it did
from the cradle to the grave
it did

and our love - is
the elastic bubble wrap
connecting my sun
to his moon


even though our daughter came too soon
our love still is 

it's ancient 
like hieroglyphics
he is royalty
at least to me



but then he became a man
a man like Justinian..

Old sentries standing guard for centuries
Exposed rocky ledges staring outward
Like true natives with rugged determination,
Nature's hieroglyphics in emerald green
Reflect gold splintered sparkling gems
High above savage river's ragged edges,
Far below the sounds of rapids whooshing
Unaware the circling echo of eagle overhead.

I'm writing my heart out clean tonight; my
Mask only read in your mummified veins;
I join your heart in its breaking's right—
I'd not meant you to be alone; these days.
I still grasp your dawn on me you made.
The hieroglyphics of your world
That never ciphered more a lovely soul—
The feminine Phoenix's winged image
By my heart and yours; though a crashed port—
Do we not still speak the same language...

when you lay it all down
put it on paper for all to see
when you analyze the words
and still can’t find meaning

when you can’t understand
what you wrote down
it could be in hieroglyphics
thoughts confounded

the truth is there
just not plain to see
hiding behind dotted i’s
and crossed t’s

keep reading, keep writing
it will all become clear
as your thoughts tumble out
filling each sheet of paper...

Its over and over well done
Blown bridges over blood vessels we've sunken
Hieroglyphics elaborate on our wedding tomb, we yearn
And like so many before, ashen lips bedeck our urn
There's no love lost between our petrified hearts
In separate spells we've cast our parts
And so this dry necromancy has ran a four course 
Desert anyone? Blind these eyes to our own faults, devour the corpse

--------------
Yes, I'm back!
Desert is spelled like that on purpose ;D...

Little poems to nowhere
Static on the page
Busy hieroglyphics
On a paper stage

Nimble little fingers 
Penned, and penned again
Lines that burst with static charge
Dormant, now and then

Long in tooth, calm in claw
Loaming on the day
Worthy of the modern man
Going anywhere

Lean have they been written
Long have they been fed
Purgings of a sentence
Nevermore unread –

Little poems to nowhere
Harboring away
Little revelations
Come another day –...

A “PAPA” coffee cup
Not quite as old as
Those who gave it to me.
An old metal stapler,
Part fastener, part weapon.
27 pencils which
Can never be found when needed.
Notes, scribbled cursive
The hieroglyphics of the elderly.
A seven and one half pound,
Dust covered, Dictionary/Thesaurus
A Poetry for Dummies manual
A collection of “mystery folders”
That I am afraid to open
An heirloom collection
Of paper clips
The scent of bacon
And pancakes….
Gotta go....

I remember Cleopatra's moon,
as triangles of time 
unveiled pyramids embalmed in
juniper, incensing golden dreams.

While in desolate dunes 
of the sunrise Sahara,
I've engraved your initials 
with pearls and diamonds.

For in lunar silence 
when cylinders of stars 
embellish skies with hieroglyphics, 
destined twin flames ascend.

You’ll remain a musical~
maestro, choreographing our pilgrimage 
to attain heaven beneath  
henna herbs of love....

You’re hieroglyphics 
splashed against the wall
smeared paint
rocks and dirt 
all crumbling 
into the faint cracks
that only I can trace.

You’re a line of dots and dashes
I can’t decipher you at all
spilt gin
shaky kisses
now trembling
a silhouette in bed
that only I can feel.

You’re beads of brail
all the blind can read
thick frayed rope 
A turned stool
still swinging
a soul and sin eloped
that only I can see ... 

and I want to close my eyes....
