Pooled the bay with reds and gold
Catching fishermen....

caught and carried down the stream
pooled in my star bank....

To muse is to stand over
Bright pooled thought, as twere.
More tranquil you, life's hid depths
When viewed thus - clearer....

I was born of fire
I'll wear the embers of my past selves like a coat of armor
Despite the Kingdom of Ash pooled at my feet
I stand

The best sort of wonder
Stares blankly, not just at
Rain, and its pooled splat;
As informs mesmeric
On how each act projects
Its ripple effects....

I’d rather rhyme and meter my dreams,
But you like your verse jagged and plainly-built.
I’ll try it loose and anti-styled, formless as pooled tears
In maudlin drops...drink them!...

I’d rather rhyme and meter my dreams,
But you like your verse jagged,
And ugly-built.
I’ll try it loose and anti-styled,
Formless as pooled tears
In maudlin drops.
Drink them!...

Like commode water
Once cherished times
Were flushed from the mind,

Cherished times pooled
Beneath observable wants
Leaving the pacifier of friendship
Resting between the lips of our souls....

a solivagant by nature
the need for acceptance grew
hot tears pooled
a phenomenal resilience
affording solace to others
impressive psyche tooled
esperance is the driving force
behind your enigmatic smile
in hiding betrayal you’re well schooled

Gossamer, gently cool,
brushed against flushed hot face,
like water pooled in desert land;
softness kneaded with much
glad wearing, not unlike
the feel of mother's wrinkled hand.

Pooled prose from a kaleidoscope 
caught it with a celestial rope;
Recite it with that telescope. 
unfiltered hope, unfiltered hope;

Peer inside the accordant stars 
enjoy the flushed solo of Mars;
I hat crescendo of joy is ours 
bottled in jars, bottled in jars....

There were shades of tranquility
    aching 'neath civilization's cry,
still blood was shed amid glorified
  borders of battlefield's convoluted calling,
each magnified footprint pooled crimson
   filled ideologue's of disenchantment
     amidst revolutions of ill-chosen power,
 marching to drumbeats of fool's gilded dogma...

She had a single tear pooled in her green eyes
It's presence on her cheek, would never be
For she was so broken, she could no longer weep
Lost and lonely, unlucky in love and life
An unforgiving solitary existence, solely in her mind
Abducting every ounce of her being...to sustain her breathe in life

surf your love with feels sincere
          that love's lifts do life adhere

let love's true joy ebb and flow
            in wave depths the heart may stow

sincere feels in all surged forms
              adhere love storms to coursed norms

flow love as pooled weak or brave
                stow heart depths to surf love's waves

Punctured psyches leak their essence out,
Seized by fear, diminished by the lees;
Courage, perforated by the brain’s fool doubt,
Unreservoired, cascades towards Death’s black seas.

Dyke your valor, dam your pooled-up will!
Panic breaches sea-walls in your heart.
Brave the craven ocean’s salty chill
Till cowardice recedes, its tides depart....

The park was pooled with puddles
From all the melting snow.
This weather, it befuddles,
Every day a different show.

Today is crisp but sunny,
Tomorrow cold and wet,
Yet I’ll take even money
That we’ll cope with what we get.

With all the current troubles,
Which we’ll muddle through together,
Let us step outside our bubbles
And complain about the weather!...

Rain sprinkled on my forehead.
She sprinkled on my nose.
She sprinkled off my freckles.
And went other places sprinkle goes.

Rain dripped past my armpits
She dribbled down my belly.
She oozed past my knees. 
Sliding past breakfast jelly.

Rain pooled in my crevices,
Luckily I did not mind being wet.
Sprinkling kind of revs me up
You would know that if we’ve met....

I was:

        murdered
            in the
 bargain basement
              of a
      relationship.

     chopped into
        pieces of
     discontented 
  dismemberment.

            I am:

      bleeding out
           from a
         deceitful 
       arrogance.

        pooled in
        muddled
        puddles
             of
      forgiveness....

So  quiet the tidal blue pooled eye,

what seashell dreams lie on this oceans' floor?

what jagged stones of grief and love and hate,

are tossed and smoothed 

before they go ashore?

  and far below the surface of your soul

what pearl like dreams are shut tight

from the sun?

in every part the ocean is a whole

there is no end,

where nothing has begun....

Taxation, taxation
Where's the representation
Funds are culled, pooled, and drained
Promises abandoned
By the figures in office, on paper
Doing thing people elected
But never considered or voted 

Let's form our own colony
Regulate or own affairs
Simply as responsible humans
No need for watchdog lair

Our interests are not monied
But to perpetuate quality
Reorganize the state
Until it serves our fate...

Is it enough to call yourself a poet,
take some scattered words and hang them out like flags
flapping pointless rags unless arranged with skill,
pooled to fill an empty space with dribbled verbs
that splatter making stains upon the page,
there must be meaning, surely something more
than endless dreary sounds 
waves of flotsam
floating noise which lands 
then strands itself upon a language shore

What does it take to kill a man?

Oh, but if what you knew what a monster I am.

My dreams know the answer; they show me at night

They murder my family; they fill me with fright.

My family includes both my weirdo’s and friends, 

In a purgatory of bloodshed and terrors that never end.

Though coercion and tricks,
 
And anger and pain, 

My nightly memories affix

The sight of her crimson pooled in the drain....

When my prayers were all lost to the wind
I cried, and tears pooled deep within my heart.
The hopes on which my future dreams were pinned;
subsequently started falling apart.
And anxiety quickly got its start;
making me believe faith was not enough.
I always knew losing you would be tough;
it's constantly tearing me up inside.
And I have to admit that it's been rough;
for the other half of my heart has died....
