They booed her on stage
Broke her heart on stage but still
She rose from ashes...

The country calls in waves of whispers
to the golden greens beneath your feet
As you dance a swirl to the sounds of birds
that grab your ears as they sing...

Bridge on the River Kwai
Madison bridges,

GLOBE WARMING    BRING IT ON 


Closing down sales in fur-coat shops
Polar bears amble past Madison Avenue bus
Miami people swim to work

Fry bacon free on sidewalks and building-tops
Rush for sunblock of  4000-plus  
Ice-cream for dessert?  That’s a perk...

Rock star hedgehog rocked the world of New York with his guitar.
He had gigs lined up from sixth Madison to the Village, place named Garr.
When he began to rock out, the crowd went nuts and screamed along.
There was so much intense screaming, I never understood the song....

Hey, come on in, and look through my dark eyes.
With an evil grin, I grip this pen, and begin to fantasize.
I can feel the raging energy, and it's flowing through my fingertips.
I take the electricity within me, and pass on my craftsmanship!


*I tag you Ms. Poe (Madison Thomer)...

My beloved Madison:
You are sweeter than honey
And more dear to me
Than anything in the world
And you are my little girl!
You are black and brown
And cute all over;
You are my furry sunshine
And I love you dearly
For all sweet, Heavenly time!

Dedicated to: Madison, my “baby sister”; she’s as cute as can be!...

My flame leaped for happiness when it found
its twin burning brightly in the night.
We made such a beautiful fire.
Before it could get higher,
my twin flame had to go
far away…… back home.
Three years elapsed. . .
his phone call
came too
late.

A

messy anal retentive
shy extrovert
dancing in the corner
that's me
a babbling bouquet 
of awe fits
and rage
and you'll have to compete
with the birds
for my attention
and sorry
without emotional impaction
I have no retention

can you tell me again your name?

I answer the morning’s call
under the endless sky
a touch of the sun’s gold 
on the mirrored face of a pond
by the highway as the land rises
from shadows a promise
of day as I drive
through the countryside
driving from Madison 
to my assignment
my life unfolds in silence
and I’m bearing my age
but I embrace the moment
as if my life’s just begun
...

The dry sand blends with her flesh
   as I sink into that coffee cream fresh valley
      that peeks beyond the safe beats of a bellybutton
         tapping against the winds of me

Rain runs against the porcelain bottom
     as she releases hidden sounds from her aching soul
         that resist me through distance but shall fail
            to the desire of our entwined chance in time...

I can't hide who i am no longer..

I'm not this girl you all think i am.

I write cause I've lost.

Not cause I'm looking.

I think my time on here is coming to an end. 

Hasn't been too long, yet i feel i dont belong.

You all write magnificently.

But lying to you is wrong.

I'm not Madison.

I'm not from alabama.

I lyed and now i feel horrible.

I do not think i belong....

To describe you on any given day.
So, each letter is given a few words,
Expressing exactly who you are;
From the bottom of my heart.

Headfirst into the sea he found her, 
Madison caught Allen with her kiss;
Love left to surge bound them forever;

Free to be with her in this abyss,
Allen could breathe no trouble at all;
This realization was pure bliss;

His movements a nonverbal catcall,
the mermaid grins taking no offense;
She welcomes this monumental fall;

Fathoms down in a  liquid romance,
elated with what never made sense....

Tired and torn, weary and worn,
male and female, straight and gay.
High and hooked, homeless and hungry.

Every creed, color, and kind.
looking for freedom to find.
Addicted to crime; running out of time,

From Clark Street, Madison and Western,
43rd and Calumet;
Beaten and broken; needing rehab,
many found the great escape.

DB COOPER-IAN MUNYWE
Ka DB cooper sina pupa,
nitaondokea pia muda ukifika.
Daily kukachora kuzuia swara,
bila rwaara bado ninang`ara.
kaka dada mama baba,
nawatakia mengi mafanikio.
nahisi kama Jimi Hendrix,
back in 69 huko woodstock,
ama king Bob Marley in 79 santa barbara.
vibe ilikuwa safi pia,
John Lennon akiwa madison square in 72.
basi tunazidi kwa bidii,
maombi tele ili majaaliwa tufike kilele....

Locks of golden hair
Embrace her angelic face
Happiness all hers
Sadness not a trace.

She dances like the wind
Ice-skating is a breeze
What a talented child
She does it all with ease.

She has two loving parents
And little brother Vaughn
A dog, a cat, her own playhouse
What a wondrous life has dawned.

This adorable little girl
A picture of perfection
Her parents do adore
Their darling little Madison....

BRIDGES

There are those problematically  structured:
Garth Brooks had burning bridges “one by one”,
London’s was always falling down, ruptured,
Paul Simon over troubled water would “lay him down”.

But there are also excellent bridges in no peril:
Like those of  Madison County
Peopled tenderly by Eastwood Clint and Streep  Meryl,
And those in Paris under which the bounty 

Of Edith Piaf would make your dreams come true....

Before I Sally Off

	Lost in Chicago

State and Madison. 
Saturday, high noon. 
Everyone and me.

Surrounded, I give up. 
Against the curb, 
the sea foams up

and in the distance
white birds soar, 
black apostrophes

cleaver split 
but still tangential,
rising, falling.

The light goes green.
Before I sally off 
I look down and there

against the curb,
great white waters bowl
and people drown.

Donal Mahoney...

why did you go?
extinguishing the flame that held us close,
the bond that was our foreverness
leaving me in despair.

I grieve for what was and for the whatever,
remembering the happiness we shared,
the love and contentment
now I struggle to breathe.

I gasp in life giving air unwillingly,
you were my whole.
I cannot replace you my twin flame,
I lie down and wait....
