pin points of light

star ranks in sable —
outline of pines and myrtles
undeterred by clouds

grows in the shadow, sable

cloaked in sable and grey, birds strut heavily for a funeral march

“Whither, whither go thou?”

“Through rumbling seas I shalt plow…”
“Ere sunrise I shalt return, and ere
The sable darkness avows…”...

Wild animals live at the zoo
There was a sable tooth tiger too
When he gave me the stare
I ran with great flair
Didn’t notice, he gave me a tattoo...

Her lungs froze
A sable coat stalked forward
An alligator man
Crawled his way through the dense
A hollow sound
Came from the braids of shallow water...

There's a burst of mellow sunshine, the hour of my return
after many nights, dark and sable, spent in longing for my home
Bees buzz in the rose garden, and soon to their honeycomb...

sable night diffuses like perfume, as the wild colors burst back ~ sun

Sable
Gable
Betray’l
Fatal
Eyes that pierced, not sable, Gable-gray.
Won’t give a d$mn - betray’l fatal bray.
Absolving his harlot Scarlet wife.
Dismissive of starlit starlet strife.
Harlot
Scarlet

Red, orange and ochre…spill over into waterfalls of color

Sable, tan and umber…tumble into a silky symphony

Purple, wine, aubergine…cascade in chutes of amethyst fantasies

Russet, copper and rust…flood in flowing reveries of nature’s tears...

Battle in a far 
Away galaxy
Good versus evil
An eternal fight
Duel with sable

Greed conquered an
Once good man heart
Surrending to 
The dark threshold

To get the 
Power that
Corrupted him

Leaving 
Behind

All

On dawn skies, peaches
drifting by sable shadows
at coastal sand dunes
Precious gold between my toes
Blue roses on the wild sea

Fading stars, sequins
Turquoise at the horizon
Citrine golden hour
of the fresh breath of the wind
and the gemmed birds uprising...

Repugnant Pugilist,

A Lummox dim with a rubble fist. 

Rock to Roc’s Feather.

A Stalwart Rook to blotted weather. 

An over armored Savant slain by adhoc ether. 

Hands empty without effort. 

That sweet and Sable Rune.

Opening the Gates of Nether.

Her lips are as pink as the plume of a flamingo,
Her eyes are like fair, seasoned pine apples.
I love her.
Her curves are like annular eclipse, a sable daybreak.
I love her.
And her skin is the vanilla of a maple leaf in summer, but a sexier color,
I want to touch her....

Iridescent ivory beams
stream 
through trunks
lining the lane
as through stained glass.
Rubies and honey glow
in the leafy tempera
of a sistine oak canopy.
In the sable silence
of autumn's crisp matin
I look up to see Adam 
reaching
to touch the hand of God....

Here lies Geraldine Ellen MacAdoo
Who fell into a pot of molten glue
We couldn’t decide what to stick her to,
We thought of this ... she would concur
So, we wrapped her in her sable fur
And, this is where we buried her.

The Cross is our crutch: we are lamed and maimed,
Crippling sin in our soul,
Defiled and scourged, our faith defamed,
Golgotha our gloried goal.

The Cross is a bludgeon for smiting down
Death in his sable gown.
It’s Roman-hewn and Jesus-borne,
Encircled with blood-flecked thorn....

Artists says,
color  flows, a picture forms,
personality shows, the view informs,
of love n life n summer storms,
there flows a  bolt of lightning,
formed,
mentally inciting....
as Johnson's bloody writing....

Deep darkness fears me at night, 
Sable thoughts surround me tight, 
Run I to the dark corners to escape, 
Wrestle against inner self and fight, 
The conflicting struggle continues, 
Till I exhaust and lose the might, 
The next day recovers me again, 
And the night brings the same plight....

cue words:

motions
to ebony tuned
rhythms
slicing stolen space
with sable 
circuitous undulations
to lexical intoxications
of syllabic tones
hip cupping
silent scribed screams
of euphoric meters—
hearts jazz bopping
hip hopping 
on tranquil winds
of peace and love:

words cued…...

I dreamed of purple
all through last night's sable hours
in a sunset world

lilacs danced the dusk
underneath plum colored skies
in the sun's shadow

purple martin songs
from beauty birds on a wing
o'er lavender fields

climbing clematis
went all out seeking the sky
just before the fall...

Winter on Astor Street
 
                  The Gold Coast, Chicago
 
Beneath the canopy,
a doorman holds
a cast-iron door that lets
 
an ancient duchess issue.
Swathed in a silver gown
she tugs her sable cape
 
tight around a tumor
that nice young doctor 
will announce tomorrow.

The show must go on.
Under a sable cloud.
I am on the vast stage
to perform.

Tall cacti and harsh
dunes will not find
a sweet acacia.

When I am hungry
I would like to write something
very personal on a yellow paper.

The potter’s wheel will not
move today.
The potter had turned into clay.
