The Phoenix and Her Lover

Exuberant rapture
Spinning pirouette
Incandescent burning blaze
Spirited phoenix lost in lucent glory

Her anguish
Tired wings
Searing searching eyes

Leathered hands reach softly
Embers steady flame
Unfaltering gaze
Whispers of midnight
Blissful respite


A Note, From My Desk

Sir, 

With all 
My due 
Respect,

Don’t curse him 
Into the sea,

You might want first 
To know his will,
He, who gave you all,

For you, my son 
To be  
On that fine leathered chair—

0r else,
You ages, for nothing!

Your
Guidance 
Counselor,

A father.

Business Round!

Buick leathered quickie
she was awright a hookie
she was lace traced
and he was dollared
looking for a bookie
green he flashed
green she cleavaged
then it was
humpy thumpy
they went
and car was alive
in the the corner
dark, making sound
in just another

Business Round!

Premium Member This Old Man

This world seen through an old man's eyes

Leathered skin both weathered and wise

With aching back and brittle bones

Still, unafraid of sticks and stones

Vision dims but memory's clear

Knowing full well the end is near

A victim of time, oh what a shame

Back to the dust from whence he came

Premium Member Oh, Balls

Oh balls
foul tipped
slow trickled….
down the line

Oh balls
you whirling dervish
biting air…quick clawing
down and away

Oh balls
wood slapped
rising in an arc of cheers
falling in the leathered web
of tears

Oh balls
the games go on
and though I age
the heart still plays

Aged

what tales lie behind wrinkled eyes
sagging corners tired
with life
what dance has
the crooked back danced
angled with experience
blissful and dark
many leathered hands stroked
hair wiry gray
aged by this journey
scratchy laughter remains
of this wrinkled tangible existence
yet the infinite spirit
imprints burden of proof
in the shiny new succession
of childrens giggles

                      Their feathered shields
                      like steel, shimmer in sunlight.

                     Gobbling, wobbling  on thorny feet
                     without flight;
 
                      foraging through leathered leaves
                      that autumn left behind,

                      acorns lay abundant, 
                      for hungry turkey's to find.

Listen to poem:
Watching JJ Play with Dinosaurs 
David J Walker

The flying reptiles frighten me 
What if they come back
	What if they attack
What if a stolen egg escalates 
	Into another annihilation

The plying reptiles fascinate me 
What if feathers are lost
	What if we ignore the cost 
And act in fits of passion 

What if their leathered skin
Becomes stylish 
	Again

What if we killed them all
	For fall 
                  fashion

Premium Member Harbingers of Hesitation

The harbingers of hesitation
Slow with time’s tenacity
Stifle the urge to grasp the moment

Shorten the length of memory’s grasp
Weaken the touch of today’s meaning
Soft raindrops unfelt on leathered skin

Sunshine hints at a forgotten warmth
That fevered longing for a faded shadow
A dream held in the cooling darkness

The lunar ice cloud draws but a silent shiver
Etched into the edge of a frozen moment
Its stars the un-melted tears of lover’s longings

Cold morning light of misty haze.
Ground section, three dimensional rectangular gaze.
Sharp thorns on rose dead red misty tears.

Cracked leather from fisted gloves of black weaponised might.
Shine glistened leathered shoes dulled in this dead light.
Long coat warmth hanging off soulless cold.
Dark glasses cloaked glass eyes shone in glee.

Box lowered slowly.

Oh, but so, so exquisitely. 

Standing witness for the joyful final act of the murdered end of thee.
