or starking

Learch In Church

I like leaching, leaping and larking
Set your light on fire that now is sparking
Not embark but find canoe made of birch
Learn how to paddle lazy self to church.

Sound familiar?

festive lark 
she has a deer for pet 
that day chases flamingos 
fawning at Santa Domingo 
Deers and squirrels shutters yet
All quiet at weeks end

Now then Dracula my man,
You really must stop this.
It virtually scares me to death
Every time you nibble my neck.
Why can't you find others
To fulfil your night time larking?
Your nocturnal longings are not for me.
Please visit during the day 
So you and I can love in peace....

Middle of July
Breathless days and sauna nights
Summer's lethargy

In their garden pool
Irises rise cool and tall
Like pastel water

Laughter of the rain
Crisp and clean like silver bells
Cool as lemonade

Larking breezes spread
The old secrets shadows tell
In idle gossip

Vampires delight happens at night when all are asleep 
in their beds unaware of the vampires larking above
your beds when your sleeping they swoop down beside
your bed and swiftly bite you on your neck as they suck
your blood from your neck and turn you into one of them
for this is the day you become whole again....

Bride of the morning I await your larking voice
Like nightingale's solace, or balm of woodland dove
A new year has began and how my heart rejoice

The coming hour when we alone the starry curtains shield
Cuddled in dew's sweet blanket, each breast a pillow yield
And every wave shall whisper the tenderness of love...

Shut your beak!
Leave me in peace!
Go and find your own branch please.
I've had enough!
You're way too much,
Dancing and larking around and such.
Twittering on at me all night,
now it's dawn, I've had no sleep.
You can't shut your smart ass beak,
I'll shut it for you feathered freak!

For contest 'enough'
10th place win...

Saturday Night
in the township of Zithobeni
the poor man
screaming again
beging for his life.

The poor man love 
larking,but this time 
he was attacked by hyenas
filled with anger and ego
to split blood 
like vampires.

The poor man was assaulted verbally.

Through the window
I saw the whole
incident,the poor man
is lying in the 
pool of blood
and,his flesh is
torn apart like
ripped jeans....

In the soul's darkness
An eagerness is thriving
Living on life,love, ambition 
Empty its dwelling depths 
Eye of Darkness, light is hope 

A heart yarning,lost,daze 
Pain felt in its mist 
A love far away as moon 
Star twinkle in her eyes 
Stranger has awaken the beast 

Her heart, emotions felt 
A darkness larking there 
The essence of bitter sweet 
Crying wolf, crying love me 
Saying pleasure my desires...

Brutally battered and beaten
Long, long way from home
Aching inside hurts more than lashes and reaping
Children and wife long gone
Kept in chains, freedom done gone

Hide! Hide! No time for larking
Ink black nights, and days of running
Shouting, shooting, dogs a-barking.

Stop by the river, wade in the water
Tubman sends canoe and more kinsmen come
Over the river to Canada’s shelter
Reunited with children…, and wife done come
Yes!  Freedom done come.  Freedom done come...
