Abide by the realm
Of peculiar openness

Cacao kisses caress the cheek
cocoa nails, polished feet

Chocolate cake, hot and rich 
Fudge syrup, sloppy kiss 

Truffle lotion oh so edible

Standing listing, leaning against the wall.
Danced lots. drank shots. Friends out having a ball.
Bud bumped bouncer, lost his shirt,
imbibed too much and chased a skirt.
Group hug. Uber call. Another good pub crawl.

Scantily skipping imp,
Feet floating
Like an electrified shrimp,
Shoe sole flapping
Like an unpaid pimp,
Flamp-p-p 
           
Listing limping imp,
Toes knotting
Like a ballerina chimp,
Shoe tongue flopping
Like a deflated blimp,
Flimp-p-p...

We are waiting

Waiting time

We are awaiting to see what we can find

We are watching the hands go round

We are listing to the sound

Whirring faster as our hearts pound

When the clock stops so does the life we had found 

We are all wandering aimlessly until we are in the ground....

witching hillside shore
a nocturnal seagulls drools
at the old bottle

dead invertebrates
gulls scavengers eating
most things clean or not


listing hillside shore
the nocturnal seagulls drools
into the bottle

Paranoia

     Words… said behind my back
     Fear… that he’ll never return my love
     Anger… there’s no comfort in tears
     Attacks… seem to come unprovoked
     People… we don’t even know
     Tension… always bestowed
     Insanity… too many voices in my head

When He calls and I talk with Him 
People see me talking to someone who isn't there 
And listing to answers that they can't hear 
They think that on the phone I must be 
Yet years ago they worried about me 
A little crazy they thought I might be 
Now they know I'm okay 
Cell phones are a wonderful thing...

Click, click, click
I sit here
listening to the tap of keys 
I sit here 
with tears streaming down my face
I sit here
letting the pressures of my life weigh down on me
I sit here
no one sees my body tremble
I sit here
no one hears my ragged breaths
I sit here
listing to the tap of keys
I sit here 
Click, click, click...

You try to do right by
them.
You try to teach them
right from wrong.
Not always listing to 
you.
Not always hearing what
you have to say.
All you can do is take
it day by day.
And hope and pray that
something, something you've 
said, they would have
heard.
That they might have 
actually learned, what is
right and what is wrong....

When I got to Heaven
the gates were listing
a ‘going out of business’
sale

The Angels on clearance
Saints on deep markdown
Grace and the Cherubs
e-tailed

When I got to Heaven
the Devil in line
waiting to go in
and buy

His credit card ready
Cerberus in tow
the damned and the wicked
— behind
