the first poem of yours I had seen -
pain-drops spattered a snow-blank expanse,
grief-blue with regret and what should have been.
I thought me...

Lost In The Moment
...Summer sweltered in her summer retreat -
Necking hot and heavy on the back seat.
In the heat of the moment
Summer’s passion did foment -
Lost her cherry in that moment of heat....

They sweltered in his car for eight hours
Twelve roses of red

The Least
...Beautiful the ugliness of scented sweat.
Resists the idea to flee. The least needs
the soldier’s help. The bleed of his forehead -
whether this soul is of tares or weeds.
This dreadful beast is...

Too Much of a Good Thing
...We yearned for rain, for spring had been so dry.
We got wet one day. Would things get better?
The sun blazed so intensely in the sky.
Only in the park’s pool could we get wetter.
Then came the ti...

Pulls at our heart string
as greenery's hued in greener tinge
Having had an everlasting effect
on those evergreen trees.

As around her
All present sweltered
damp browed assuring
She felt just fine
In things unseasonably sheltered
A boundary crossed
The sweater removed

Sunburnt

Perfectly sun-kissed.
From a distance she could fit
In my hands.
Day, the name we hold dearest
Day, the name of the memory I placed
her above all else.

No Relief In August
...If you think July is bad,
Perhaps you have forgot.
There’s no relief in August.
It’s really just as hot.
Even if you like the heat,
There’s just no celebration.
Unless you care to celebrate,

fire-wires moonlight dervish in a bold splash

I drifted down the city street,
Feeling tired and sore.
Nothing seemed to inspire me,
I walked with heavy feet.
I sweltered in the sultry heat,
Deafened by the ...

The phlox and peonies thirsted for his touch, scr...

The Sweet Faced Ones With Nothing Left Inside

from life to there are maritime ripples.
Harrowing blades of rain
hammered from storm-clouds shatter puddles
of glass to rolling streams of echoes,
Misery’s tra...
