Mist glows from within
Sinuous valley river
Aching heart hidden...

Peace and solitude
Where dawn meets earth’s elements
Sinuous flowing...

sinuous, jet-black,

     moonlit shadows on a bough,

emerald eyes know....

sinuous and slow
old summertime path home
ripe with memories

Naked ladies...
Beautiful they alone
Grooving atop the dance floor
Sinuous, sliding grinding kissing
Moonless night's in red lace, love....

solitude
. . . quiet 
black peppercorn
on a ribbon 
of tagliatelle 
I, on my path
sinuous striding
impelled by you
impaled by you...

HEARTACHE OF BEAUTY


Distant Thunder rumbled
Grabbed my sinuous wanton sunbeam
Who left without a kiss

thunderous black clouds 
                                     sinuous blinding lightning
                                     river swells in spate...

Self-flagellated sinuses
Sandpaper swallowing
Sinuous snot surmounted sneezes
Strange sultry speech sounds sexy
Stupid sickness
Saturdays should be savored....

Step silent, listen
for the sizzle-slither
of a sister

snake who listens

soft for me, slides
among stones,
subsides

to undersides
of shadows, striking 
soundless sinuous as 

S, then slips 
away...

Sinuous arms reach West and East
And curved with a gentle bend
Told me the nearness of a dear
                eternal friend,
More strand sprouters
   came to join
Whatever fun could be devised by merging
     thoughts....

tiger.. unseen in the bush,
golden black stripes ominous,
beauty ferocious!

panther.. sinuous, jet-black,
moonlit shadow on a bough,
emerald eyes know!

lion.. basking in the sun,
regally maned predator,
the tawny terror!...

I build invisible castles
Then voice them upon people
Anytime and anywhere
And sometimes no one at all
Because nothing is everything
Anyway, and both are simply
Bounded in being, sinuous and soiled.
The sand of my castle touches lives like rain....

His mindfulness led me
Through a labyrinthine maze
Rambling sinuous thoughts
Planted in thorny tangles
A wandering elegance
Baffling in its simplicity
Mazelike in its meanderings
A wise and twisting serpent
Entangled in the complexities
Of its naivety...

Glass cashmere, be soft with your voice
Crystal sinuous glistening
Your pulse, lithe, roars fastidious
While stillness, like starlight, trembles
Today, the darkness, spun like silk, divides
But forever, your rage, delivers peace

The river kicks up its heels in swinging sway and lilt.
Winding downstream in a sinuous snaking stream bed it built
By eroding outer bends, building up its inner bends with silt
Defying the straight and easy path, which like a flippant lover it jilt...

In the clear, cool waters

      Alive with sinuous fluid

Waters surging, rolling

      Across the mind

Az Salome's dance
          front
         Herod
           she
With hern mitts up
        sinuous
   with seductive
      Hern firm
      Petitioned
         mine 


    I breathed in
         Deep

        Shook
 
         then 
       bid her
       shalom...

A chilled but passionate solution
Bubbly mix with bracing sensation
Dashes of bittersweet fruit in flute
Sends forth your day in joyous pursuit

An inward touch of coy affection
Close to perfect prime of your generation
Afar I lay on your sinuous path
As frivolous lace of vast green swath...

So many come blossoming, 
verily so many merrily 
so many! under the high-
spirited sun, opening 
a host of yellow. Nine, 
ten, three dozen blooms, 
now hundreds casting off 
the old lapsed minutes 
the months of cold – 
joking high-spirits
so sinuous on thinnest 
green stems – this very
morning so many!...

tiger ... unseen in the bush
golden black stripes ominous
beauty, ferocious!

          panther ... sinuous, jet-black
          moonlit shadows on a bough
          emerald eyes know!

                      lion ... basking in the sun
                      idling maned predator
                      the tawny terror!...

[Re-posted due to system error that erased it.]

I chanced upon a
swirl of smooth and
polished stones.
And treading in its
sinuous path—
pretense and guile
abandoned—
I met a
peaceful stranger,
my very self,
unsullied,
deep within the labyrinth—
the labyrinth
of my mind.

Listen to poem:

sinuous the paths
leading to my garden

a maze tangled
to rambling thoughts
trapped behind a wall
reduced to puzzle pieces
scattered in the wind

my mind gone astray
my love forgotten

sinuous seaside sand
softly shifts smooth stones
seaweeds stinky sigh

winsome waves woven
wearing wondrous weave
westerly wind whistles

sunlit sparkling stars
seashore serenades sunshine
sopranos singing

driftwood’s dozing dreams
distant diamond disappears
deep dusky day dies
