testimony that disrupts
proceedings it interrupts
in a courtroom liable to erupt…
from a recess abrupt
order is anon plucked

The curved fondle of an embrace
within the moistened kindle
of an evening's oiled lamp...
the splendor of your lubricious mouth
gathering all that's aflame and gentle
and I will find the slippery blue of eyes
dressed in your lavish kiss---
never knowing this potion of alchemy:
Dare I blink bewitched by
a caress of such pleasure
drip by drip , my being drawn
to relish that glide
of a nape pulsing through starlit glow
waxed by sweet grease of our shadows--
that nothing else will fulfill me
-but your ardor under all dew.

What is that, 'midst gray silhouette
A night-winged creature slips, beset?
Fluttering through pampas and ground
Mellow the dulcet trails of sound
O blackbird, my breaths awaken
By soft chimes...this angst forsaken
Glimmering 'neath still of moonlight ,
I find peace in warlber's hymned flight !

I shook my head as I walked away
Rebuking my demons, keeping them at bay
My mind wandered back to a time before
When such a slight would have been cause for war

I was sad today
Never gave it away
Every smile more fake than the last
Every interaction so fast
I want to be alone
in my depression zone
Face aches from muscle strain
My search for happy in vain
Stop my tears with coughs and giggles
Stuck in sad so far from the middle
Born to be sad
I won’t get mad
Nothing good
in life I understood
No one to share
None who care
I was sad today
Never gave it away

Violets rising a garden-friendly placid flower,
Purple iris kaleidoscope eyes stain the grass,
They bud in fall and spring, but not in summer,
Stir in the yarn breaks amid fresh Narcissus.
Purple iris kaleidoscope eyes stain the grass,
Choir of home fowl peep to the sparkly leaf,
Stir in the yarn breaks amid fresh Narcissus,
Cerise dahlia swings in the east wind in brief.
Choir of home fowl peep to the sparkly leaf,
Raindrops dribbling from a soft purple bloom,
Cerise dahlia swings in the east wind in brief,
In calm tint arrayed, they shed a ritzy perfume.
Raindrops dribbling from a soft purple bloom,
Allow me to stroll to the valley's mute shadow,
In calm tint arrayed, they shed ritzy perfume,
This flower is one I'd cherish to retain and grow.
Allow me to stroll to the valley's mute shadow,
They bud in fall and spring, but not in summer,
This flower is one I'd cherish to retain and grow,
Violets rising a garden-friendly placid flower.

I have no shoes shall we dance;
I don't gamble shall we play a game of chance;
I have a pet aardvark should I feed him ants;
I have vertigo am I in a trance;

The Slight Light of the Moon
David J Walker
Everyone is in
Everyone is done
Everyone
under the sun
is in the same boat
It’s a big boat
It’s a tugboat
It’s a lifeboat
That won’t float
On Solipsism’s alone
It’s an
Oceanliner the color of
October with a canoe
And an outboard motorboat
Lost on an ocean stretching
As far across the Milky Way as
The naked eye …
Oh say, can you see, anything
Beyond vituperate inflictions
Fired from the big guns
From the map of a compendiums instructions
The first-rate illustrations are
Lost in Space and Time
The Big Boat is mine
The small boat is fine
But it’s yours
Everyone on the dreamboat
Will slowly float
Into the slight light of
The moon

The brakes squeak
and the car hisses…..
a puncture
The spare tyre replaced
the engine revs again
the journey continues.

The Light of Slight Sensibilities
David J Walker
I see the slight variation of
Light illuminating translucent
Patterns pressed from the etching
Of each and every today
Time fades away
It is the Mise-en-scène
of predictabilities
It is the delicate film flying
across the jagged
Lens lighted by frail fallibilities
It is the Alpha and Omega looped in
Small chains of DNA on a stage of
Our own making
Sorrows laid out for the taking
I see the light of slight sensibilities

I sense it is impossible to rhyme
in this journey and that even
with a poem searching for words
something is lost
Is it found in the breath
slowly with the slightest force
should we name it the Force
or is it a lightness that joins
with the smallest molecules
atoms is that what I am
and you and the us
anything else if false is dust
am I trying to form something that
cannot be formed or is the Form
something we cannot know
with its infinite reach
A form that is what the
Universe is and we are of
that form, briefly solid but unending
I feel at times a cold heaviness
in my chest and I am frightened
But if I inhale and see the stars
in the silence for that instance
forever seems real and unending
and a Force that we experience
as we search even pray for
as we try to define ourselves
and the Infinite that is forever

Adversity was thus proven to be unusually anomalous.
I went out of my way to watch the stunning sunrise.
spirit had not worn, or body had gone to a sarcophagus
Adversity was thus proven to be unusually anomalous.
I've lost my ability to analyze insights, but I can still visualize.
My spirit recognizes that it will yearn for autogenous.
Adversity was thus proven to be unusually anomalous.
I opted to approve, but I would not stop the snooze.

After a downpour
a cheerful rainbow
After a snowfall
nary a snow-bow
Snow's slight ~
Nature's oversight
