Short Whorled Poems

Rumours
plyed, garlands 
whorled to shape,
veiled in chaste, she
appeared....

through the eyes-
the fire whorled sugar maple
       speaks to the soul

   Assaulted by waves of profanity
     high tides of depravity

   Bestrewn, shards of urbanity
     ~ flotsam of humanity...

sweet stain of her
against the soul
a sky stong pollen... 
the purest gold-

a caress of satin,
tasting sugar seeds
for one flaming moment
we often bleed-

whorled moonlight
mangled sheets
(hills of hell
valleys of ecstacy)

will 
hearts soar with the sun
or drift away...
will they dance together
or simple walk...walk away...

I believed it was the end of the world.
Prepared to leave, the mortal whorled.
Into the domain of the spiritual pearled.
Into the darkness and absurd.

But the butterfly made us realize.
Death is the starting point that applies.
I've evolved into a spiritual not demonize.
From a seasoned butterfly and eagle eyes.

Beyond a sweet zephyr
     whorled a scent,
something so familiar
   amidst that breeze,
'twas like warm apple pie
   sitting 'pon a windowsill
wafting delectable
   reminiscence of long ago,
children's laughter
   full of caramel & pepper,
petunias, summer rain 
      and hot cayenne spice
all delightfully refreshing
    in a blast of fragrant air's 
momentously blissed nostalgia...

A bang rattles the heavens,
The earth shakes, jiggles, and leavens.
Silence swarms hell. Black darkness!
Humans wonder, panic at the madness!
Close to an hour, darkness prevail.
Close to an hour, hearts fail.
"What happened?" whispers creep in fear.
Then thunder booms from heaven's rear.
Light balloons, sweeps the world.
A voice rings, across the earth whorled:
"It's finished, Death 's dead."

Snoopy was slamming through the skies
At top speed, stealthier than the other fliers
Flying ace of the year, he assured anyone who would listen
Tweety bird sat in the co-pilot seat, knowing he’d best be quiet
They looped and whorled and rat-a-tatted the enemy
Guns blazing, fierce and untouched.
Sixty-two bullet holes, and they were unscathed.
Snoopy stretched his hand out and knocked over his water bottle....

There's consolation in knowing
the rise and fall of angles;
the whorled tempests of
alpha and omega.

Liquid vowels
and hiccuping consonants
curiously curled around
the pith of visions.

Silent expressions
circumcised by dots,
paused by chubby tadpoles
that pollinate fertile thoughts
with deliberate moments.

Hyphenated hybrids
capture imagination
in new-sprung, cursive concepts.

But Oh! How I love
the silent ellipses,
the endless music of

The End......

Diving into the whorled
undercurrent of your passion,
a sizzling madness
greedily devours my aching need --
Caught in the under- toe 
of your magnetic current, 
my trembling body drips 
in ecstasies within a water's bed.

Eagerly riding the tide of lust
through a liquid love, 
I drown in your throbbing swell --
the moss, musk of a male's salty sea. 
Waves of pure rapture explore
a heart, fancy ,and gurgles
unleashing laps from paddles
the circles of rolling intensity....

Listen to poem:

The rose that bears delicate flowers,
adorned with soft scented petals, 
resplendent in many shapes and color hues,
bears a stem of thorns from which pain ensues,
to the hand that grasps the rose for closer view.
For the closer we get to enjoy loves ecstasy fulfilled
The more we risk the pain of petals turned to thorns, pointed poignant.
In the backlash of disdain, with love lost again,
to the black petals of pain, in whorled layers
of regret and suffering.
