Holiday

Holiday is ringed gay with lights.
Niose-shook, for a marquee
Of lawn-pitched attractions.
No dull railing girts it. A place
In time joy-bounced, by whim's
Un-school-like persuasions.

Once Upon Bliss

A time before hurricanes, when
tempests were ardently intoxicating 
and fuchsia roses blushed
beneath fervently lit moons, 
unfurling lovers' persuasions
once upon bliss 'fore hurricanes

Pee

Powerful politicians promoting powerless politics.
Passing propagated policy proposedly preventing prejudice.
   Pretending past perceptions pose puny persuasions presently.
Proving people prevent prosperity purposely.

A Swift Clerihew: Taylor's Version

Taylor Swift spins stories, her songbird-like sensations,
an underrated pop princess with poetical persuasions.
Her complex lyric lexicon, like a folklore luminary,
invites the listener to see themselves as a fellow visionary.

Forget, Forgive, Mercy

Go away as far as from me
Erase the memory 
Never answer to my relentless questions, persuasions, requests 
Set me free 
I am the one guilty
Utter selfish me 
Forget, forgive, mercy 
Don’t make me dream of your hazel eyes 
Of your beauty
Forget, forgive, mercy

My Pen

Tell me what you want
And tell the world what you mean.
I've learned to speak
And shut my mouth
Simultaneously,
For a pen in hand
Is an expendable and honest friend
Much like the compromise
Of my will alone.
I love illusive contexts
And palpable persuasions
That permeate my little
Lackadaisical lust bomb.

An Old Hammock

An old hammock 
sways in a safe place;
appearances of familiar geometry,
echoes of crashing tidal motion.

This place was always
home to us - this place to 
seek shelter, seek disguise, covet oblivion; 
posit persuasions in waves 
of ocean,

perhaps to cradle a foreign ear,
or disturb the lonely torpid night.

Crush

Susie sassed some stupid scoundrels 
they tried to take her treasure
Bobby blew back barbaric barbs
Susie shook some soot off her sweater
lovely little lights lit the large lake
promising perfect midnight persuasions 
Susie sat still staring silently 
bobby won't be back before breakfast
he had his handsome hazed gaze on her

Only Cracks

Only Cracks

These days of
political and climate storms
seem to immerse us
in separation's persuasions..
Earth quaking and burning
awash in winds and waves..
Seeming to demand our
unending attention..
The Self seems distant
with confusion's coverings
which we need to untangle..
Untangle the storms from
the joy appearing in cracks..
Then to recognize that
there are only cracks...

(Thanks, Leonard..)

Idle Hands

Mine hands
Sinful tools possessed
Dance along the periphery 
Of thy intimate domain
Touching and probing
With subtle  
Perverse persuasions

Caressing thy sweet softness
With course and brutal desires
Has thou the courage
Within thy soul
For acceptance of such 
And grant admittance
Into thy Forbidden garden

Or shall these hands 
Be bound and left idle
Their tools left to rust
From the tears 
Of mine intimate frustrations

Believing This Is Enough For Me

It is never enough.
It can never be enough.
In this world.
But what about the next one?
Are there greedy angels?
Do any selfish souls get to heaven?
I believe they do.
I believe sinners land there, as we are all sinners.
I believe all religious persuasions land there.
I believe our pets land there.
I believe we do not all have to believe in God to get to Heaven.
Not a big God, not a little god, not Jesus God.
Believing this is enough for me.

It's Time To Astound You

with nary a sound
I walk up behind you
and kneel on the ground
a smile on my face
a glint in my eyes
as my arms wrap around you
with a pleasant surprise
gentle persuasions
wet lips in a race
hot breathe on your back
I've quickened your pace
and now
my fingers are darting all over the place
temperature's rising
hearts palpitating
cosmic vibration
skin scintillating
I know you can feel me
I'm glad that I found you
breathe deeply my love
'cause it's time to astound you

Persuasions of a Sojourning Moon

Her supple and shapely silhouette rests submissively
as the luster upon the soft satin sheets arouses
sensual images of salaciousness beneath the sheen surface

My empty yet enduring eyes slowly engage the darkness
eager to embark upon the elusive lines energizing the elation
as a sojourning moon entices her to endear

Her excelling exuberance... exploited on exhalation
exposing her explicitly, exemplifying the excerpt
of an exonerated experience as the moonlight expires

Do I Love You

Did I ever love you,
or was it a figment 
of my imagination,
'tween the light of
dark persuasions 
thinking sentiments
would blossom, yet 
fig trees froze whilst
lemon trees & magnolias
 withered 'neath the rein 
of your infatuations when
unkempt tables were turned,
back midst a chilly November
whence Spring never transpired

"Was I ever someone
Who could love you forever"

Inspired by Leonard Cohen's Did I Ever Love You
