Not-Words

from incised colors spill not words,

nor the tremorous lips of dawn speak;


a rose by any other pin is a name,

and nature eludes a rhyme a frame.

Sharp Response

Cupid thought she was rather blunt

when he surveyed her bottom and front

she defiled with a razor

after wielding a taser

incised his stupid macho affront

Waste In The Fire

Trimming fat
off his soul
he searched
for the bone

With every 
new slicing
his consciousness
honed

All waste in
the fire
to sizzle
and fry

Excesses
like smoke
rise forgotten 
— incised

Switchblade

To everything..
Turn, turn, turn
Standing upon this ledges edge
Uncovered as peering amid
The city lights below
Biopsies water colours..
Moments splashed about
This vestige of neons
Dissecting organisms hues called life ?
Time, seeking purlieu sorties
Reasons incised..
Lifted from the palette
Of brushed; their rhyme.

Prose Poetry Mondrian Bauhaus

Fluid interaction of poise & rhythm spirals float,linear lines,circular shapes,small scale in design.A fascination of freshness,perception personified touches the eye of the beholder.A floating tension betweenweight& lightness create reflections &symbolic sensations within.Abstract and realism combine, tactile in relief along incised lines of beauty where enigma lie.

An Artist's Sketch

An empty canvas on display
 alabaster slivers streaked pittings
  bleached pasty pearl incised matte
waiting;
 monochromatic fragments pale
  chaotic free flow rigid yet confined
released in inspirations somber
 light and dark
  contained insipidness
sketching life nightmare and dream fantasies.

Etched In Your Mind

E-tched in your mind, 
S-heep's soul will be saved; 
P-ure delight in the new earth 
I-s just clearly 
E-ngraved. 

H-eaven is etched in your mind, 
I-n your heart, in your memory; 
P-erennial kingdom is inscribed, 
O-n the eighteenth of January. 
L-ife in the promised land 
I-s incised nicely and fine; 
T-ruth from the loud message 
O-f God is etched in your mind.

Wrath

I was never one to curb my anger
when my heart gets close to danger
tongue lashings come as I let 'er rip
if it's in there, out it spits

lightning flashes from deep green eyes
thunder crashes once incised
the wrath of this consuming storm
not forecast in weather reports

after it has blown on through
once again, my sky turns blue
pushing away the clouds of gray
forgiveness always after the fray

Pagliacci

Of course, a clown
is always clowning
as poets paint their write -- 
before with pen and ink

dip we nibs wells of performance

transforming dark ink
to colorful spectacle in showtime
spot of light -- like the pancake 

our many harlequins, 

like Arora, a rainbow
after cloudburst
real tears or daisy squirt?

we apply our big-top makeup

to cover-up and hide

otherwise unmanageable crowds

of deeply incised hurt --

Switchblade

========================================

To everything turn, turn, turn ~

Standing upon the ledges edge; uncovered

As peering about her city lights below?!

Gathering in biopsies water colours

Moments splashed atop their vestige be neons

Dissecting organisms called life; time

Seeking purlieu sorties reasons incised!?

Lifted, from his palette of brushed; this rhyme....

Tonight I Write of Squares of Cloud

That line there was the convincer
the second to reassure
now is that clouds that form a square
or has someone incised a cloud so delicately
or laser shapes as an alternate thinking this ones better
breaks the sky
or a cubist painting of Van Gogh's
Night so starry
is this a view from mountains forgotten spot
go go tell them what you saw
my idea for a mortal combat character
that pixelates the screen

just a few ideas in what my title was about

Always a Widow

Here squats a Black Widow spider,
who sups a swig of sweet cider.
     He spies her there,
     scoots close to share
and sips the hot brew beside 'er.

She darts with aim to devour,
her size gives her lethal power.
     She fakes a hug,
     then snags him snug;
true bliss defines his last hour.

For some who deceive are gifted
to mask when power is shifted.
     The prey's surprise—
      he's soon incised—
his parts all broken and sifted.
