Anticipation 
nights spent alone
miming our conversation
just in case you phone
declare fathomless devotion
no reason to postpone 
claim this heart's commotion 
let your love be known

silent words of dread
                i recite each night in bed
                  too late now your dead 
                      one reality ahead
         miming what should have been said

Rendering rainbows over candy kisses
Above the marvels of a mindless moon
Meandering with fairies and flower wishes
Miming melodies frolicking with a flirting tune
Nimble poets prance scribing wistful words
Courting playful paramours to canoodle and swoon
Entranced in witless wooing, amorously absurd...

rain fingers stroke the Daphne’s neurosis
                 motionless.
            a laurel tree there.

rank-raw and austere, saucey and languid
fleckless like statue on a red room trip.

there’s this meticulous magic inventor
miming the locust in the elevator
genius and missionary 
his chariot of polygon hares....

WATCHING    FISH

We pause  at the glass and look in
They come sidling down to look  at us
Solemn peaceful beauties
Gliding graceful in their thick liquid world
Big-eyed innocence, bubbles,
Children of the deep
Crowd  down at the end to see us
They wave their fins and hover
Looking  out with rapture of a lover
Staring  unselfconsciously with 
Mouths miming murmered mumbles...

Composed in their femininity
Compliant with the slighest
Urge in that delightsomeness of
Miming a bloom, wind-caught.
No less radiantly stately fraught
With one's plucking interest.

Then I came back. Shook awake of
Which stilly - found entrancement
Its ornate vision's, she, herself
Charmed out of me; wife; alone!
To as many a dressed pose, prone!
As much for distinguishment!...

The displayed of the moon
With half pale eye
Is as a person closed one eye
Delightful breeze makes
The leaves to waft
Miming with their tiny branches
Fingers,left and right
Back and front
As the crows lure the night
To fell with their sonorous vent
Is as a grouped of people carring out
Acrobatic foxtrot
The quiet of the night
Leaves giving thanks to orb of the night
For brighten the night...

COPLA SEIS : This Bad Guy World

Politicians hatch decisions
After much show of bravado :
Innate cunning

First stage gets set through collusions
Actors then strut words with much glow :
Only miming

Wounded foot soldier falls with flag
Families pray and people pay :
Penthouse lords jive

Politicos salute their rag
« God Bless My Country », so they say :
« All the rest : Dive ! »

A wooden porch looks old like Grammy’s chair
That rocks us of fables, miming her voice;
While a neighbor spoofs wolf legends, beware! 
Under the moonlight dim, sweet hours rejoice.

 
How evening’s ray now settles on the ground
While urban traffic booms, only to impose
On our chalet shading youth’s prints around;
A moment when life blossomed like a rose.

Hear me.
 My words,
 with ink tell the tale
of a lady and her lord.
See me.
My pen,
miming their accord.
The laughter; soundlessly
R i n g i n g     
in your ears.
The merry heartbreak
spilling golden champagne;
T e a r s.
Cries of passion
dancing across the floor
chandeliered to the moment
within our first embrace.

The horses depart, printing across my floor.
They carry him from me.
Belle of the ball draped on a chair
I startle from my dream....
