Queen of Spades

Wearing her crown of dark cascades,
Her wooden staff with a flattened blade
Burying her secrets dark and deep
Of tri-tangos and bloody reaps
Adorned in shadows with reddened glaze,
All hail,
The Queen of Spades.

Whiteness of Your Eyes Contest Entry

WHITEness OF YOUR EYES
	
Many technocrats
Have lost the gift
The gift of sight

Seeing money
Seeing gold
Seeing what
The bank vaults hold
Is not the gift of sight

Seeing how the blue
Of your eyes
Tangos
With the
White--
That is the gift of sight

Premium Member Lighting of the Lamp

Lighting of the lamp Consciousness blinker, let silence tinker, animating mind gripped in ego’s bind. Polarity dance tangos to balance, inner and outer sentience router. Divine magnetism ignites body prism. Our soul comes of age, in bliss flames that rage. 27-July-2022

Autumn Haiku - Set of Three
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

autumn 

whirlwinds of splendor
 autumn breathes umber blizzards ~
  crimson cloudbursts whorl

gusts of gold tangos
 jitterbug on orange swirls ~
  gales of scarlet squalls

outbursts of amber
 ride on russet fandangos ~
  vermillion downpours

Spring Mischief

Lusty sunbeams twirl in tangos
Gusty clouds in wild fandangos
Rowdy windstorms dip and glide
Dowdy mornings step aside
Cloudy caches swing and sway
Dowdy drizzles sent far away
The sharp air softens then sings
A wink, a smile – mischief of spring.

Premium Member The Beatnik Cow

The cow waltzes around the lamp post three times

MOOOO!
Cow’s milk Mother’s milk The milk of human kindness
Why did you not love me mother? Why did you demean me father? Why does dusk’s fading aura not bid me good night? The cow tangos around the lamp post four times
and weeps

Back Down Again

Snow began to fall
Come dusk lovely tangos
Wind and flake

Silent wisps growing bold
Wicked, relentless
Hinting winter’s random temper

Silver frosted morning
White landscape
Reflecting purple painted sky

Breath taking dazzling
Lifting me to heights
I’d never approached

But as Newton would opine
What goes skyward
Must surely crash

Premium Member Takes One..

Takes one to know one, and takes two
For tangos and teas all day through
And maybe some wine to define
Who of us is more out of mind
Takes a night to know light of the day
Takes a breath to be taken away
Takes you for a time we have spent
Takes letters that hasn’t been sent
Takes love to fly thousands of miles
Takes lifetime to step on your tiles
Takes clouds for pouring rains  
Takes wind to blow over our names..

Urges

Ripped apart emotions falling from my sleeve.
Every thought exploding, gentle as a breeze.
Starting from the center it piles up inside.
Until the body fills with lust and pours forth from the eyes.
Battered walls are crumbling and time forever still.
As the heart tangos fervently with mind for sake of soul.
Aligning bodies press against the glass for lack of space.
We unfold from within ourselves, our urges have no grace.

COLD DAY

Cold day
June 29th
Windy
Leaf shadows ice the tree trunks
Sunshine looks cold
And there is helter-skelter

Cold day
Barely into summer
When the leaf-dance begins it tangos rather than waltzes
Under the skin is still warm
But the weather boils cold

Cold day
June 29th
What will July bring?
July sits just under the sun    looking down
     watching its chance to filter in
But June will go out with a shiver
