A fluorescent dome
By unravelling its elongated tail
Loves to roam 
Down the solitary dale
Dances soberly when finds its female

I am unkissable
I am unreachable
I am semi-innocent
I am under pressure
I have an impassioned mind
I need to be taken in hand
I need to love soberly...

Pause, soberly reflect and recollect
Today, your thoughts, the things you did
Mentally your day revisit
Pause, soberly reflect and recollect
Evaluate truthfully, bias deficit
Ponder in truth, sentiments be rid
Pause, soberly reflect and recollect
Today, your thoughts, the things you did.

Rain storm 

Twas spectacular, storm of summer storms 
natures animosity, and fury 
Peppery grey clouds soberly transforms 
glorious day into horror story, 
silver spears pelted earth in such glory 
illuminated electrified arc 
horizon to horizon, sight blurry 
mist from evaporation, must embark 
Create pure place of sanctuary, build an ark....

baby i'm
trying to sleep
but the earth keeps
moving under my feet

soberly
standing since
second round finding
my found is off the ground

grinding
my teeth in
disbelief with no
relief in sight for the wary

never
varering
off course but
all sorts of acourse

what do
you mean you
uncaring octogenarian
but wait i'm not there yet so

get upset later
catch me another time...

Golden smiles mulched in memory, sweet cuvee   
sipping it soberly I adhere to the fading of day 
When night arrives to shut the curtains in solid   
I lose all transparency and my thoughts un-lid    
Immersed in the bittersweet moments we once shared,   
I find comfort in the knowledge that we were well paired

Breathed noisome pernicious whiff of dorp
                          Atmosphere spawned by amiss vicious deeds of humans
                                    Piercing in my physique
                                            Perforating soberly in every single venae of my being
                              Wrecking, ceasing this substantial existence
                Deserting me ... Lifeless...Inane....

Walking halfway up a paths incline
I look back at my bungalow
there is a cow on my roof
(an optical illusion)
for the roof is overlooked
by a green hill,
and on that green hill 
black and white cows graze.

The wind-swept Bermuda shorts
on the back washing-line
are also trying to jump onto the roof,
but being still hungover from the night before
they will never make it.
The black and white cows
consider the flapping shorts soberly....

Silently, stealthily, slowly
He strolled with great care
So as to avoid the floorboard
That would squeak 
And seal his fate

Smiling, sweating, successful
He slid past the enemy
That could terminate
The solace he sought
And savored

Sulking, seething, sitting
He swallowed day old soup
And dreamt of caviar
That could soothe his craving
And his sanity

Softly, safely, soberly
He slipped into serenity
Without a struggle
Into the shelter of eternity
And secrets...
