Water colour sketch
Tints and shades conspire;
Senses percolate

Chin thrust forward, held in right hand
    pleasant sweep of hair graces unexceptional forehead

  Thoughts percolate, bubble lightly, retreat
    mouth scrunched up into grudging position...

For a little poem I do perform
A depth defying feat.
By all accounts I do seem shallow
Upon a surface read.

But before that N/A switch is flicked,
Let me percolate;
What once was shallow, when you dive in,
Becomes a spring fed lake.

My generator will not generate,
My regulator will not regulate,
My carburetor will not carburet,
So I guess I’ll just be……

My oscillator will not oscillate,
The percolator will not percolate,
This incinerator will not incinerate,
There’s nothing to do but meditate!

I will no longer contemplate
About that which I hesitate
To even stop and give debate
	AIN’T LIFE GREAT!!!!!...

By creating brutish atmosphere
Blood thirsty villains
Even if, the blood dripped
To the ground, 
They will be crimped to defenceless
Without able to defy; 
By retaining the pain; 
Even if they were inclined to darkness, 
Were ripped one by one
Only when the soul is separated, 
They left the pure hearted, 
Thousands of innocent's dead bodies
Laid above others
Blood percolate from each 
Thus, it becomes bloody field....

Sometimes in your life,
a point you reach,
there are those who matter,
and those that don't recipricate,
then sorrow begins to alate!

Fore when they choose,
to be less benevolent,
a vacuum will permeate,
fore there will always be,
some other yearning to percolate.

Worry less about the past,
undoubtedly there was lucidity,
why they reveled around in treason,
early on in your crisis season,
they're absent for that reason!...

I have given up on the divinity of man
For in fulfillment’s race I’m an also ran

I’ve suited up, prepared to play
Sat on the bench many a day

Driven by the insanity
There was hope in sanctity

As the horsemen of my soul
Rode in search of being whole

Thundering hooves and flowing manes
Pursue their shadows in cold rains

As I sit and percolate
Struggling to meditate

You weave wondrous webs with words
Practice percolate perfect & perform
You spin sexy synonyms secretly seducing sanctions
Litigate lustful liaisons languidly

You school this student serendipitously
Tormenting teasing tantalizing
You acquire avant garde aptitude
Cautiously coaxing committed candor

You reward religiously rightfully
Manifesting in momentarily madness & mayhem
You devise in detailed determination
Her orgasm in opaque oblivion...

Peristalic pangs percolate
rumbling grumbling groans of,
"Feed me!  Feed me!"

Chocolate chomping 
does not curtail the hollow hollering,
"Real food!  Real food!"

A clock controls the
dashing diner of
lunch munch, breakfast break,
or dinner for a spinner
out of this humongous hunger.

A platinum plate if you please
piled provocatively
with a sprawling spread
of vital vittles ASAP.

Ring the bell
grant grace sublime
its time to eat
enough of this rhyme!!...

O, black and potent beverage
each morning that I rise
you give me greater leverage
you make me strong and wise

O, elixir of higher thought
rejuvenate my mind
I percolate you in my pot
through dark beans that I grind

With sugar some would sweeten you
and lighten you with cream
but black and strong will be my brew
like women in my dreams

O, steaming dark deliciousness
please keep me wide awake
and bring me higher consciousness
upon my coffee break
