The Mangos Sweetness
...From the warm lap,
Of a vineyard,
The mango,
Dressed,
In the evening moonlight,
Orange,
As an exotic sunset,
Basks,
Upon the vines,
Like a gypsy,
In a flamenco stillness,
Within,
The vine...

How Do You Feel
...I feel bubbly but corked
Reserved and labeled
In the light, I sparkle
However, my home is dark
And cold
And chilled
No, I'm not a message in a bottle
Floating across the sea
Never to ...

As Memory Serves
...As Memory Serves
A mere bump in time...
as bottled cork pops,
engaged second hand...
conveyed decibels,
dons melting,
against that instant,
"It's a boy!", resonates.

Oenophilia
...It's always been an uncanny pleasure of mine,
To behold the tetchy affair that thrives between
A gregarious man and his choice crimson wine;
For each loves and loathes in equaled measure.

Bosoms rise on pond's edge,
dawn awakening
beautiful.
The sparkles in her eyes
illuminating brighter,
with each breath of a new day.
More and more

Forks
...A few lines about forks upon the table
Fondue's pronged fork for fingers habile
A taste of life's flavored torgues
Babes brought by the stork
Tough, old meat

Still In the Night
...Singing I love you
I’m going to miss you dear
Singing for the backs against your wall
Here’s to life
And everything we cannot have
Outside the bar and into the hills
The dust settles itself...

The Cost of Water
...Flight of stillness;
idle,
ditch-wise.
Ladders point up
but they say the ground is greater;
sunlight knitting to their brown feet green socks.
They crestfall and
buckle at the knee.
