First glorious happy soft morning rays,
To the 'dismal dreary darkness', they bid adieu;
The 'golden gleaming glint', to all living beings, a boon;
The still lake sparkles in 'bright light' beams;
Oh how the pebbles 'reflect' the sun, making a picture 'perfect'! Such
is the beauty of the radiant sunshine that eagerly I
await for, every morn, to bask in its warmth. Can
there ever be a 'greater gift' here in earth from Above?

I hate beginnings, plenipotentiary prattle, use-
less sedimentary-sounds. A preface and first chap-
ter betwixt the suc-
culent kiss, the marvelous mystery unfolding.
wash your hands, bobbleheaded-yes.
that was the third part. typhoid
mary, not important to this quiz,
yet she opened the door and peaked
through. i slammed
it
shut, rolled my eyes.
how yummy pages
that jump into the deep end
and we drown in ecstasy’s eaglet
nest. eggs cracking cuckoos
collaborating.
long, drawn………..out
beginnings not
for
me
the setup goes on and on and
oh kind of like this steam
letting off

Tears slowly trickled down my cheeks; most
Heartfelt gesture trusting me with such
A gift. Who? Why? I had no idea.
Numb with outburst sunshine from within.
Know, kind angel, I will spill my ink.
Sweet Lord, with a grateful heart I give you thanks.

dreams across sunMIND dunes
and we disguise so no
one knows
i, too, saw the sun (and
s creamed oh we gently (suc(cum)b)
So tongues are gone and
forest men walking sleeping
(and we, within our dreams
pray to keep) like there's
no one more!

In my little town, everybody knows his name
When he comes knocking, all the children hide
I fear even uttering his name....
He is my cousin, my cousin:
"CHAOS"
SOOoooo many times.............

OUR little GAMES CAUSING SO MUCH PAIN
UNLESS YOU WANT TO JOIN IN ON THIS little GAME
I suggest you completely
avoid
where we play....
AND
we ALWAYS play for keeps .....
Sister girl
African pearl
Such finesse
So much, you have to give.
Yes, you are beautiful!
Are you paying attention to me?
Nile I am.
Dark and handsome man and confident…
For the love of God
In this real world
Never have I
Ever exploded with deep words of lust!
Sophisticated woman
After thoughts
Savoring your body
Suc-cor your tongue
Young and free!
Affixed to your smile
Nectar
Depths of passion!
Feel me
Indigo blue
Nice fit on you
Enriched this day!
Such words of desire
Ask you to be a part of my life.
So real to happiness
Seductive I am.
Yearn for me!
Apex to
New elevations for
Deep sensations!
Finding each other is not a sure coincidence.
Inspire by other elements
Nadirs we are not.
Essence we are.

...go ahead...sink your teeth
into the enameled words
use your tongue to roll
them from cheek to cheek
feel them budding in your
mouth, the very words of
your mouth sound rising
from your jaw up to the
timpani of your ear and
into the heart, well ok,
the mind of you, your now
