Vanity of Skin

Beauty's power is what you seek,
Everlasting things you want,
Always skin perfection on the cheek
Under seductive eyes that taunt.
Towards shapes and shades and light
In small glitter boxes stays your full delight.
Finesse, longevity and everything godlike;
Unless you want time to succeed,
Loftiness is just the friend you need.
Form: Acrostic


Deem the Best

Had I the choice to choose the greatest poets, to depict their visages by drawing them at their loftiness, and volitionally strive to equal or excel, Poe for his lamenting woes or Browning’s dramatic monologues, or Whitman’s ever refined Leaves of Grass, to wit the best, these and others I’d gladly trade for just the scent of you upon my verse, even for a moment.

Premium Member Il Dolce Far Niente

Il doce far niente - - -
the sweetness of doing nothing

That's my conviction
as I'm living

life as a Poet.
It feels as if

I'm doing something constructive
as I work on poems

Time passes so swiftly
It's like I'm

encompassed in a dream
while I go about

my daily ritual.
It's a sensation

of serenity, contentedness
that goes beyond

mere expression with words
It's casual and concrete

all in swift actions
that lift me to a higher loftiness.

Of Owls and Mice

Up in the loftiness
owl dreams and mice dreams
waiting for a sign.
There it is - owl flight in a mouse dream,
Open the hinge-less door,
they come
riding their All-Terrain Vehicles,
not this terrain, not brain terrain,
not any piggy-back thought
catching a ride - no,
their bodies of light are shining bright.
Mice flying in owl dreams
and hurrying on to who knows.
The loftiness has nothing to say,
yet a new world arrives
pre-ordered from the dreams
of yesterday.
