Sunburnt Poems

Abandoned in the desert by robbers
Bruised and bleeding
Tied on hands and feet
It was dark, cold and I was shaking
The dawn of tomorrow
will it rise?
Please tell me
A bad dream,
close-up of red eyes
Like a snake moving without limbs
I followed a path, 
but...Read More

An obtuse angle is an angle of greater than 90° and less than 180°. Wiki

I must be looking like an obtuse angle
in my funeral agent's eyes - 
an over ninety years old, 
(but less than one hundred and eighty) 
indigent...Read More

On my two year anniversary 
a new verse too read
canny words set free
doctor said you need

Apples nutritious 
And grapes with pips in
Cables that trip us
And drapes for peeping

At sights kept hidden
Affairs and lovers
Secret keeping
Shared with others 

Handsome ransom

imaginations
     abide in
        perfection
lasting
   but a moment
transitory
     as snow
in
indelible impressions

chrysalis
             asleep

In the hollowness of the desolate wasteland
a sunburnt solitary tree languished for a long while,
cast nonetheless on the parched crumbled ground 
a sensuous shadow, my forlorn secret sanctum.

A crystal path I’d built to the realm of retreated yearn
along the contorted...Read More

When I kissed you

Silk rolled out from spring's green mill
Tinted with nervous sparks of morning glories

Feathers fell from sunburnt clouds
And trembled on snow's frozen laughter

Foxes crawled out from throat's dark burrow
Drenched in slippery rain of enslaved desires

A serpent's cold tongue...Read More

A flawless sapphire and tanzanite sky
spurs the flight of a monarch butterfly,
released from its colorless chrysalis
as Sol’s nurturing rays intensify. 

Waves tongue ticklish toes along the shoreline
licking at bare feet dancing in the brine,
and the laugh of a child chimes...Read More

surfing irises
shocked with sunburnt spots of red
— xanthous sun’s sore glare

Winter is ended now spring has begun

The birds and the bees are looking for fun

Days are now longer that winter is done

The best time of the year is yet to come

Some like the snow but for me it’s the...Read More

A gentle breeze on a scorching day,
We wake up early to bring in the May.
Bluebell skies frame cherry blossom showers,
Excited young girls hold garlands of flowers.

Morris men and mummers,
St George and the Dragon,
The roasting of meat,
And ale by the flagon.

And...Read More

JUST A TASTE

I remember drinking ice cold water from mountain streams
Hiking in the warm sunlight.
The sound of the wind blowing through the trees
And the shadows as clouds move fast overhead.
Aching muscles and sunburnt skin
A fire burning at night
Flames flickering under...Read More

Through a veil of gossamer obscurity.
Passing thoughts in chaotic chorus diminishing the ordered regime.
No place for the  mundane to dwell.
Who sees it? Who knows it?
Who lives through the manic,hypomanic and the depressive?
Each dawning brings  a new perspective seen...Read More

-------------------------------------
Wondering memories of wild adolescence,
Flash before me like a mental Rolodex
Reverberating daze, 
Time cannot take away.
A fifteen–year–old,
Broken neck calypso.
Gazing through the jungle-o window
Unequipped to fathom what was about to happen.

I saw the moon in your eyes,
And knew;
You smile in the...Read More

My body flips me off and I fall down
Into the sunburnt grass;
It's telling me “It’s time to sleep!
Just look how good this bed of
Uncared for dirt appears in the
Afternoon shade?
Pray, tell me why you will not
Dream now when your
Dorm room...Read More

FUNNY HOW MY WINTER TURNED INTO SUMMER

I walk in drifts so cold, a bitter bite.
My boots with holes, a stab of pain for miles.
The flakes do dance around my head tonight.
Each one intent to stick upon snow piles.

UPON A SEASHORE...
Off the blue 
languid hours,
a labyrinth,
perceptions 
sensible things
surging impressions...
UPON A SEASHORE...
Infinite purples
rainbow fragments
spindrift,gleams
sensuous 
lively,lovely,
many-hued 
gossamer....
UPON A SEASHORE...
ebbs and flows
the familiar the strange
momentary phenomena
a sunburnt glow..
UPON A SEASHORE...
a wind blows aloof......Read More

Darling, clear me up and reset my mind
Align our grand designs with time to unwind
A simple thing, to see the beauty in your face
How you look at me like I'm the only girl in the place

Sunburnt kisses soothing drenched down
bowing limbs   wind torn and tossed
frozen tips     at times
Uprooted and reckless
broken and helpless
thinned out tops   shaking
with every frigid breath
battling another storm
with Autumn approaching
how will I ever stay warm

the spark is still between us.
electricity, he always comes with lightning.
he knows i can't resist a storm.
 
july is ending, again.
sunburnt, peeling in my bed.
last month's dead cells
sticking to the wall
above the spot i got too mad.

summer time brings a smile to my face,
unbelievable weather my mam's words embrace.
midgets were busy the sun was so hot
my parents words I shall never forget,
even when I sit on a summers day....watching
rain like stair rods too wet to play.

Cuz the goddamn T-shirt says so!
Well, the first time it was Billy,
ball busting Billy, who said
“go ahead, just do it”.
To this day I am not sure
what caused me to follow
this instruction.  The end result,
I had red finger tips
for three...Read More

Masses of sunburnt grass, 
Sway with delicate ease. 
Seduced by the composer   
Of the soothing May breeze. 
  
Swallows parade, 
Pirouetting, 
Swooning,   
With humpy gluttonous crows 
Giving weary approval   
From tops of telephone...Read More
