Vernal hills collect God’s tears
Torrents surge to shower’s edge
Pooling life’s essence begins
Life’s highway is born

rainbows pooling in the ocean
surrounded  by warm embrace of mollusk
i am beautiful,
i am glorious
again and again
touch me gentle
feel me,
exotic desire
Like an oyster
find me a pearl...

Am I good enough now?
Written on a bathroom mirror.
Dripping crimson; pooling on the floor.
Am I good enough now?
Carved into her arms.
As she bleeds out she whispers,
Am I good enough now?...

Water pure and clear
From a mountain spring tumbles
Wearing smooth its path
Pooling in the rocky cup
The doe dips her head to drink

Strike a match 
that distracts 
but dictates
a reflective gaze.
Eyes, witness 
something profound
as the candle melts
pooling, cooling
until the wick
is no longer sustained.
Its flame flickers
then fades....

Beyond the sand dunes the ocean lies 
framed by lush Ammophila grass;
Soft breeze caressing your skin 
harnesses you for life;
Pooling a deep love 
for what’s boundless;
Wanderlust 
enthralls 
you....

Whirl-pooling,
pullin me down,
tryin to swim,
only to drowned.
Tears into deep waters.
Pools of ink.
I need a life raft?
Pull me out?
I'm gonna sink.
Jumping off,
Diving in,
Wasn't ready for the deep end....

a do not resuscitate
no heroic measure taken
a surgical cut deep into flesh
crimson, flows the love
pooling on the pristine tile
blood red on angelic white
footsteps track across the floor
spreading it to the door...

weather’s
trying

humid
hazy 

has me
sighing

feeling
lazy

temps not
dropping

sweat is
pooling

clothes are 
sopping

we crave
cooling

autumn’s 
coming

respite 
bringing

I’ll be
humming

praising
singing!...

Clouds flaunt the day’s sunrise and sunset 
flooding the sky with a vast sea of flaming passion
As a dramatic array of sun’s long vibrant dress
billows out, pooling at horizon’s wide floor
Birds’ silhouettes dance, sway and pirouette.

blood drips down my sickly body.

blade like a brush dancing across my delicate skin.

painting a lovely picture.

a puddle of blood and tears pooling at my feet.

this is how i go.

at the command of the blade, my lover.

my enslaver.

The butcher
in a trance
this death
then many more
The cleaver
paused in motion
destruction 
to the fore

The blood
is pooling downward
in images
besmeared 
Its stain
a violent crimson
tattooing life
— with fear

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

Black claws slicing
rivulets of dark dismay
collecting 
in the bottom
of 
my soul
pooling
    pooling,
       pooling

overflow of hot regret
foul remorse
eating swiftly through
my heart and mind
just to find....
the hollow bones
of
     pain...

Cherry red rivulets trickled from her crown
pooling momentarily in her orbit,
flowing over visage pale as Maiko mask,
slowly forming cocktail with the falling snow.

A lonely heartbeat slowly ebbs to nothing.

Death throes of her Lambretta pierce the silence....

Paper-thin, metallic blue deepening further, slicing down, across from bone to bone. 
Garnet rivers, pooling into oceans, staining... Screams, screams fade “CALL AN 
AMBU..l..a....” (gone). A single response, a tear, gliding down... swift, before fading to 
black....

I lay 
staring up at the sky
Tears pooling by the way side
Thinking
How lovely it would be 
To be a bird
Up high
Flying free
Have no worries ever again
So many problems
Made by men
Looking down 
at what we’ve done
At our own devastation
Longing 
to be above it all
Soaring
to a better place...

giant jellyfish
washed up on soft golden sand
children eat ice cream

we'll go rock pooling
with brand new nets and buckets
sun peeps through high clouds

When winter sweeps its silent snow
And wraps the forest's silver glade
The pooling waters frozen stiff
Own spears of ice that droop in shade.

From trees with furrowed ruts and grooves
The flakes that fall on garden stones
Are tiny angels heaven sends
To grace moonlight with quiet moves....

Butterfly stomach
Evolves the
Nympho of poetry
Jumping
Around the
Mystical forest
Inside my
Neurotic soul.

Been
Articulating the sounds of
Raindrops
Tearing from my soul.
Lactating acid
Evaluates my pooling eyes ... the nympho sits 
Yogi style on a piece of poetical digesting bread....
