the sequin on the carpet
danced as I moved my head...

the veil from the east
that chases the setting sun…

        Scratchy 
      sequin smile, 
     love pulls hard 
 at my chapped scars;
        Abrasive....

We hover in this place between awake and dreams, restless under night skies filled with sequin stars and other worlds...

Green sequin lines leather seats
In a shining emerald limousine,
As a television screen streams
Sequences of the finest of suites....

A sky of fireflies
fills with drizzled meek magic
stars sprinkled in jars
sequin flecked lacy twilight
lending midnight their brief light

There is a girl known as twinkle toes 
Who is dancing wherever she goes
She’s the sequin queen 
Shines like a sunbeam 
Such a shame the girl sports a hook-nose....

she wore pearls
her lips were glistening pink
her fragrance sweet

she conjured spirits 
pink sequin on her forehead
welcoming vision 

why are you here
frankly i had no answer
i thought she knew

who sent you
i am confused now
at heavens gates...

My queens and heroines,
Truly beautiful even when off-screen
For it is truly their love with most gleen,
Which captivates me, just like sequin.

My queens and heroines,
So amazing, yet so beyond reach of my means.
If only I could see them leave their limousine,
But alas I'm less than who deem them as so mean.

up through the sewer into the street
nice little window
could see what i missed
the bustle of shoed feet
a purposeful din
as they kicked about the puddles
pretty ladies in sequin dresses
constricted by a velvet shawl
at the heel of a good man
a rich one
he kicked me a drink
that was the finest day
of my life...

ATTIRE

featherboa smog
bright lights sequin dusk dark hills
night's new age dress code


               STEP UP

pots with crimson blooms
soft touch on iron railings
worn steps rise as guide


    	 GIRL ON A SWING

wooden slats child's play
bent forward as long chains squeak
she dries washed long hair

Five, six seven and
down the stairs we go.

Dancing steps carry us
toward applauding crowd
as we are singing Viva Las Vegas.

The King and I.
In Marilyn Monroe’s pink, sequin dress.

At the very bottom we get on one knee
and throw our hands in the air.

The blinding spotlights fade
and I wake up.

Now I know.

Dedicated to E.P....

Dark descends like an ebony curtain
studded with spangled sequin stars untold.

Stark color contrasts make one thing certain
blooded, Mars is a wonder to behold.

Mark the surface of water uncertain
flooded with bright ribbons of liquid gold.

Shimmering under beams of gilded light
glimmering waves reflect Luna at night....

Ice on the trees
shines like Diamonds
Artistry of the season
Mother Nature's finest
As if they're a beacon
spun by Sequin Spiders
Ice on the trees
shines like Diamonds

Ice on the eaves
Gleams like diamonds
It's fifteen degrees
Winter's frozen climate
Mother Nature's Decree
before a new horizon
Icicles on the eaves
Gleam just like Diamonds...

Sequin, the baby witch had a black kitty named Baby Twitch.
They were such a team, this adorable duo. Not a glitch.
They enthralled the grownups and made them smirk and smile.
They are the cutest, her grandma said, looking down the aisle.
Where Sequin and Baby Twitch were sitting on a pumpkin fine.
They grew up together, and loved each other, these babes of mine....

Like gold, He will not be melted away, 

from the one he chooses,

but refined and treasured as fancy aged wine.

So wonderfully sewn, 

as a bridal gown, 

is the words that he forms from his oversoul,

and each felt writing, like every bead;

sequin, and expensive thread that adorns the bride.

He is shining, radiating, appreciated...and not of this world!!!...

Bedazzling,
Bejeweling,
Moonlit 
Diamond of love

Recovered and
Discovered in the
Midst of intensely
Passion,

Discerned as real 
In the glow of the
Beginning hours of our relationship,
Shared as glowingly
As carbon-originated 
Diamonds

Unclear when
The diamond turned into
A diamante, a rhinestone, a
Sequin, 

But when it did, the diamond
Rapidly dissipated...

A con artist scurries

In white shadows

Fickle grooves she casts

In sequences



Imprinted by vainglory

Swift she fleets

Veiled with scars that

Were sequin rich


She spoke of ideologies

Subdued by violet myths

Exuding colorful flavors

Of classic deception



Her tattoos spelled

the wistful vowels of sin

Vexed by the onslaught

Of egregious inceptions...

Miss palm is gracious
She glitters like glossed sequin
On a gay night

With a little fragrance
She would be fairly like

Her five daughters are
Idiosyncratic characters
Sent from above to show we mortals
What's beauty

And together: The darling daring palm family 

Like a shadow on a sunny day 
My companions
In the park, on the street 
even in the dark of the night 

But be wary of Miss palm 
and her five daughters!...

All about the moment
sugared pansies in the air
falling from their flaxen home
behind your ears and in your hair
All about the minute
that you tumble to the ground
laughing sunshine sparks and colors
that my eyes have rarely found
All about the rhythm 
while you twirl deliberately
purple skirt and sequin swirls
dizzy me so gracefully
All about the morning
grabbing sunshine for a talk
holding every memory
up to your ears, at peace and caught....

Back in black.
Don't know jack.
Movies more movies.
Shark attack in 3D.
Back attack, old age.
Over the hill, not.
Lots of snot, zombie rot.
Day of the zombies, zombie on.

Vampire movies in; Aliens too.
Comedies, dramadies and Westerns ,too.
Life is a movie. Make a home movie, bar scene.
Take two, have a whiskey or soda.
Whiskey, soda.  Social drinker, casual.
Another sequel, sequence, sequin.
Someone , somewhere.
New and improved, that's the biz.
Sequester.  Court jester....
