There once was a guy who was crazy
Took bath salts to make him not lazy
Bad trip to say the least
Human flesh was a feast
Dead carcass was pushin' up daises...

The Detective Found

cheese
camera
squeaky needle
a contraption with a spring
smelling salts
a high chair
vinyl playing three blind mice

how deep the cut,
the pain is but,
camoflague for the sanity,
be strong and just,
don't look nonplussed,
as it bruises of the vanity....

flowers springing up

before insects at their peak

smelling salts of sorts

to revive us of Winter

before dandelion seeds

O Monami! Fiancé these days!
They forgot to pick wrought iron
In their unsung Mays!

In seasons, they sprinkled
In salts they tried,
In their secret recipes
Even my Clover died!

PS. It is still poetry!

Sweet Confession Tide


Sweet briney trickles o’er my steps

Waves swill all sign here I have been

Draws misery below to ocean depths

Salts the wounds inflicted so obscene

Leaves my soul anew, fresh and clean.

Milburn Drysdale was an avaricious banker.
On the show, he was very funny.
If he lost consciousness, he didn't need smelling salts.
All he had to do was smell some money.

based on the television show "The Beverly Hillbillies".

Before bed, have a hot

Bath with berry-scented

Bubbles or some perfumed

Bath salts.  Lose your stress or

Be sensuous! Enjoy 

Bliss!  Better yet, at the

Beach, bathe in the warm sun!

The salted sea,
capricious,
Captures dreams unguarded,
to roar in glee   and toss toss,
to crash against   his hardened sands.

Dreams be fragile.
Best to guard   and   gentle nourish,
protect against   the cynic salts,
the doubting hearts 
and the deep and salty sea....

One last time may I steal
A kiss from the only mouth 
that ever knew how to
enslave and awake every
Ounce of my being..
quivering lips dampened
by the salts of sorrow
Hoping that moment
To linger an eternity
as if with quiet eyes
And mournful pleas could
Ever say goodbye
to the one true love of
my life.......

Stately lighthouses
   Casting their beacons abroad
      Comfort for old salts

A finger of light
   Warning of treacherous shoals
      Guides seafaring souls

the surf relentlessly pounding
always teasing the shore
leaving hints of its mystery
treasures, bits of sea lore

now I walk this lonely shoreline
the gulls follow my trail
tasting the salts of yesterday
on the wind dreams set sail

MIRROR INSANITY


ready
aim
fire

at your eye

now
don’t
miss

magnify

small
dirt
speck

repeat repeat repeat

until
your
tongue

falls from your cheek

wipe
away
hearts

they’re too red

soak
your
face

in epsom salts

don’t
breathe
in

arousing fumes

you
might
wake
up

The News has shown us only bad;
never what is good.
Their people saying who they hate
never what they should.

Ignoring what the people do
to criticize their faults.
Diverting all their stories
to the one's that anger salts.

And hoping we believe
that our good has gone away.
When it's true what we have left
is the News that's gone astray....

Sentinel never sleeps;
resting upon water thrashed rocks,
this shining beacon of the sea.
Her watch, sees all,
Her stories sung in shanties,
by old salts;
She holds within the secrets, 
which ocean confides.
She is a lighthouse and 
she never betrays a trust.

My drug isn't beer or even cocaine
Bath salts aren't for me, and weeds just insane

There's only one drug, that I'll ever choose
It's the one starting with Y and ending with U

Inhaling your perfume, you course through my veins
I don't need an injection, I'll drink you all in

Possession of you, won't cost me hard time
My dealer is cupid, my drug is so fine...

River






A river of insults,
as eyes stream with tears,
Drift of those arguments,
that sway to find a chorus,
Tireless flow amidst hard rocks,
condemned human life,
To savour salts of estuary,
cheers fail to giggle the bruised soul !
