not only the leaves,
also the feelings

Tsunami of love follows
to sweep away soul....

sweep away morning clouds
sunlight dusts treetops...

I’ve got a kidney stone
Trying not to moan
It hurts me deep
Trying not to weep
Sweep away the pain
Down the bathtub drain...

hands to hold to touch
hands to write a thousand words
and wipe away tears
hands to embrace to caress
hands to quell sweep away fears.

Use Broom to Sweep Away Doom

What we did do with a straw broom,
Would be to sweep away our doom,
Which existed,
And persisted,
That was spread all over the room.

Love for Food Does Loom

Our love for food always does loom;
For another meal we will make room,
And eat until gone,
To dusk from dawn;
Sweep away all crumbs using broom.

With all this noise
Who can hear the scream?
A scream of terror
Gone was a little thing
Captured was a laugh
Carried was its faith
Seen by no one
Broken into pieces
Sweep away by the shores
Taken into the deep abyss
Were the memories lay...

Sweep, old lady, sweep away
the tin
din
and dust
of the day
breath as the sun sighs and
settles into the
ground
consider the satellites as they
come back
around
gather the children on the
wide fields you have
found
Sleep, old lady, come Monday
and dream...

leaves flutter like butterflies, 
dawdle graceful path zigzag 
down, down, down beneath trees shade 
long deep sighs. Settle and snag 
among collaborating blades. 
mutinous breeze tendrils rise drag 
and sweep away the dry leaves 
like wings fly and touch the sky.

Pelting shapely pebbles into the lucid lake,
Lonely, among daffodils and golden mandrakes,
And rejoicing the dance of silver flakes,
A delicate penumbra catches his fancy great,
And in a sweep, away, his heart does take.
Ruthless in love and incredible in stake,
He dives deep down,
Into his own grave....

love, an open door
a yearning we long for
no one could give you more
I showed you this before

it's really not that hard
to sweep away the shards
my key removes the bars
and heals all the old scars

truth a flame that burns
as you await your turn
each time a lesson learned
as love slowly returns...

If you could
Would you take the ride
Again…
How would it be
If you could see
Those things 
That now
Cut to the bone

Some things 
You can’t sweep away
Whilst you await
The dawning light
Of a new day
So gather strength
And bite into leather
Survival is 
The name of today’s game.

Metal bent and plastics shorn
along the street glitter adorn,
remains of combat vehicular
litter on oiled asphalt and tar.
Quickly towed, no cars remain,
Perhaps some water or other stain,
Why do they not clean up it all?
A message, perhaps of human fall.
Until the rain or employed hand
sweep away the remnants and sand....

Life

I ask to dive deep 
for what purpose would it serve 
to go the breadth in the swallow end 

I ask to be submerged 
not to test the water with my toes
not to splash when it’s at my ankles 
not to be content with it at my waist
or stay safe with it at my shoulders
but to be engulfed, caught up, and sweep away with joy 

I ask to drown in life...

A cat up on a tree.
Watching a dog barking crazy-
Looking up-
At the tree...
The cat laughing 
At the helplessness
On the ground.

The cat up on the tree.
A dog on the ground-
Unable to climb-
The cat a witness.
As the floods
Sweep away the dog.

The cat up on the tree.
Smiling.
As the dog is drown
In the water-then,
Disappearing....

Sweep away the past, and all
The times that brought you sorrow
Your future lies in us until
Tomorrow and tomorrow

Lock your nightmares up beyond
Some vast and solid door
I’m your knight in shining armour
And will be for evermore

Shut out your lifelong worries
All your troubles and your fears
Lay down with me my lady
I will kiss away your tears...

Life Is A Brothel


Life is a brothel she says
Zipping ten centimetres up the crotch of her
Diesel jeans

How many jobs do you have to take to remove your nose
from the rotten-egg stench;  how many chances do you have to give
the adjustable lighting
to sweep away for you the connections
to breath-gaps?

The scrabble app says it misses me
It sends a notification to remind me
It's lonesome without me.

Let Poirot use his little gray cells,
Let Miss Marple knit too much,
Let me just catch up.

Dust the unused corners,
Sweep away the cobwebs, 
Throw out the crumbs

Of procrastination.


Poirot and Miss Marple are characters in Agatha Christie novels ...

The evil are coward
They come not in their colours
But often wear the masks of love
And speak the language of church
To seek entry where angels dwell.

Good to hold tight your broom
And keep your joker like inheritance
So when a Nicodemus comes to throne
And corruption becomes  national  anthem,
You shall sweep away the plague with one
And change the tune with the other....

My Horn Trilogy Haiku Senryu

heaven has much room
for idiots known to bloom
sweep away with broom

when God we would greet
he had knocked us off our feet
drums he liked to beat

love luxurious
about Christ am curious
now am serious

with so much sorrow
God removed from bone marrow
Son want to borrow

am often praying
God with me will be staying
my sins are slaying...

"We live in a time of chaos,
not only in a world of wars,
but the war within one's self."


My mind has too many negative thoughts.
It's too noisy for my muse to be heard.
I've created a sanctuary of calm.
A place within where my soul can dwell.
I removed the harsh realities of hell.
Turning my back on my clamorous mind,
I sweep away the clutter and noise.
I can now foster my creativity within,
Embracing my reborn muse once again....

Dogwood trees are now in bloom,
jots of color in winter's gloom,
white and plum and palest pink,
against gray backdrops, out of sync.

How I love the month of March!
Like silk opposed to winter's starch.
Robins bounce across the grass,
a sign, for sure, that winter's passed.

The winds of March soon sweep away
all that's dull and brown and gray.
A child of March, I feel reborn,
as Spring flies in, on Marchwind's-borne.

mind control....
superpower 
mind control....
would use it 
mind control....
would wash away all 
negativity
mind control....
would wipe clean all 
resentments 
mind control....
would sweep away all
indifference
mind control....
this power
would make things 
easier 
mind control....
after i was done 
i would then turn the power on myself
and go about cleansing my mind of all 
the negative memories that still 
exist within the subconscious 
mind control.......
