Being cook bigger....

Lucy Loose was a wench unconventional
well known for doing things nonsensical.
She made a public scene
with frisky Billy Breen.
When she up and did the unmentionable....

unconventional 
mingling which 
deviated from 
the norm created 
atypical interactions
in which the uncharacteristic 
irregularity became normal 
standard even within the

   offered customers an unconventional perk
 
   When he pulled the handle on the Coke

With thine hands I touch ~
Gentle sighs echo within,
whilst crimson lips touch ~
Unconventional writhes quake,
amidst satin sheets are we ~

these unconventional cats who are dicks
forties detectives to you out of comic strips
make others nervous anyway me

go by their last names, like Marlo or Spade
interrogate  usual suspects under spotlights
look to save a damsel or two

offices are dirty
in a sordid side of town
I run from these dicks...

Demi-gods,directives in whispers
pact made in secrecy,done indiscreetly

Originally defiled,by those whom beguiled
enslave those of light,to serve their might

Brood of the past in constant war
mandated slaughter of each,'till no more

Nature of nature in opposition
each in force gaining position..............

If this love was
sifted from the ashes of ruination; 
conjured from marshes filled with polluted tears of the mournful;
dripping from the hearts of those who roam the streets of despair...

If it were unconventional, 
and unworthy of a crown
because of its vile and putrid sentiment:
what would you call it then?...

Sailing along the sea

Nothing at all to see –

But a lover by your side

An unconventional lover …

One there with you to ride the tides.

And you ask yourself if this is right

Or if the ship will sink in a ray of light.

But you learn there is no worse tempest in creation –

Then the Tempest of Temptation....

Sometimes
 the only true God
Gives birth to angels
Here on earth
His way of
Letting us know
That there is
 another plane
higher than ours
That he wants us
to touch with our
human hands
And experience beauty
beyond our realm
of understanding
To give hope to us
who are paying attention
That glory awaits
to those who seek him
in unconventional ways...

Listen to poem:

You say you love me and yet
I feel you hardly know me

I say I love you and yet
I feel an aching emptiness within
and fail to have a sense of ‘we’

It’s curious and odd to think we are in love
when we have no clue where this can lead
even stranger is how we are ok with that

Somehow we’re defining and redefining love
as we try to understand what’s become of us

Dripping paint on canvas made works of art.
Jackson led the abstract expressionists.
He would be successful right from the start.
Using some techniques from famed muralists,
his achievements comprised very long lists.

All over the canvas Jackson would flow;
dripping and spattering paint to and fro.
Abstract images would cover it all.
As unconventional as artists go,
any of his works would bring a windfall.

About a beauty who is more
Beautiful between her two ears.
On the inside, which deserves cheers,
Unconventional to the core.
These sonnets were created for
A beauty wise beyond her years,
Learning how to handle her peers,
Eventually set to soar.
X-ray her heart, and you might need
Another reason to write her
Name for other people to read.
Desire makes you wish you were
Right behind, following her lead
Anywhere such emotions stir....

Rigmarole in a Daytime Dream 
The terrain we seek

The nightmare that divides
Charcoal textures

Ghostly halo
Healing elixirs
Tries to clear her eyes


Traditional poetic alchemy
Creative space 
A tapestry of emotions

But they are already unfold
Swimming

In unconventional ways
Being.

Intertwining and resonating with each other 
The essence of beauty
Traces of Truth

Limericks as stanzas..  is that a thing?

In a little corner, by the window
A tiny, potted, plant does grow
Odd and unconventional
Awfully untraditional
But this is where I tend to go

Something that feels so out of place 
Rejected, awkward, filler space
An offbeat
Few square feet
In my mind, along the lines, I trace

We share a moment every single day
When our time is up, I want to stay
Feet hit floor
Out the door
The world around looks beige and grey...

The obsessive narcissistic lover of hers
climbed the hill of challenged.
Beating his head against a brick wall
for his pure love was damaged.

Whilst meeting they seemed to get along,
with common interests per usual.
Neither proudly advertised;
for this was unconventional.

Upon leaving he stirs and slurs,
left alone she questions again.
Uttering muttering "women",
naming blaming "men".

Pick up their phones to call now enraged,
only to find each other engaged....
