The Sun Pales


The sun pales
 in your presence.
It runs to other places 
when you're around.
With a look from you
 it goes quietly.

The lights that flare
Stain my stare.

How deep or true I care,
Pales to your new flare.

I have proven shallow,
Until I can be there....

What just brushed past me?
Like wheat pricked, dry.
The sky, she said.
Ah, and some wonder why.
We drink! ‘Til vision of inquiry pales.
Palled upon the violet sky bales....

How do you fare on the happiness scale
Are you an A-Plus or have you fallen off the rails
Bend an ear
And listen here
Besides an occasional glitch, everything else pales...

i am confused by my misunderstanding

A POEM FOR YOU





Unable am I 

A poem for you to write my love

For 

The wealth of words mournfully pales 

Before 

The treasure of your unrivaled beauty!

lovely woman- -
follow tracks of the sheep;
by shepherd tents graze

a favorite mare
harnessed by Pharaoh- -
beside you it pales

your beautiful eyes
sparkle the dark of midnight- -
I feel your breath...

Senryu 

As sun pales 
The old town looks haggard 
Till dawn 


Senryu 
Streetlamps sadly knows
They only play stand-in roles   
The sun is the star. 

Senryu 
When sun takes a break 
Crossly hides behind a cloud 
The day is murky...

a lone car on a highway at 5am
its headlight beams knife the dark
no exit wounds
just a flash of steely light pushing 
deeper and deeper into the tarred body

the night bleeds slow
pales from the loss of black blood...

114
At the library
Cruising
@mypoetry
And it pales
In comparison
With what I can do
Cut through the
Bull probability
That we can control
The weather and
All these homes lost
Aching souls
In the biggest
Cover up and fail...

"Rain, 
Trudi, 
Golden-Heart.
Raven-haired beauty!
One sweet smile, spied above rest.
Melted my hoar-frost heart.
Every star's brilliance, pales. 
My joy, will never have, more cause.
Her flashing eyes, locks, shame velvetiest o-nights!"...

Drenched in ashen night
My thoughts are gone
Where a road pales afar
My shadow torn
Like a moan in the flesh
Weeping upon
A trail of love’s vignettes
Stained by rainstorm!

The paper falls
The television freezes
The nusance of a sore

The site fails
The lonliness sears
The news pales

Keep going
Going in circles
Wishing and wanting, overflowing

Struggling, waiting
What's it all for?
The answer will come
When all is grating...

Barren sullen devoid of all color
Blank canvas plastered 
But Ill equipped inequities 
Of casual sexual diversity
Allow my first stroke 
Male model well equipped
Brush pales in size to the 
Instrument God equipped 
Him with Ahh. Mmmm
Sun setting behind 
City’s skyline stars peeking...

          pales us out in the face
            and inside. core....
           A solid love,

            and outside...

"You got a memory for faces, sugar?" How she stares! 
"I think so, yes." Her smile splits like the crack of doom. 
Peroxide pales her improbable pile. That beehive hair's 
like something Boris Karloff might exhume. 
"That's kinda fortunate, y'see, becuz there's
no freakin' mirror in your room."...
