"Logos"
always there
walking tightropes
beside me
pre-existent
logos walking
parting
waves in air
I turn my back
on eyes that speak
lost knowledge imprint
I turn my back
on recalcitrant
childhood dreams
I turn around ;
you,
the shadow
still seen
a ghost
haunting
persistent
remain
still there,
as if
in dream

“Logos” / Ludovico Einaudi

a pen dipped in blood
as is a robe
so writes a mind
now is unrobed

Serenading voices of snow geese thrum in the morning sky
Unrivaled is the clangor of their echoed gabbles in October
Songs of Fall ride on the wind as russet leaves begin to fly
Unrobed are trees; stripped bare, looking bereft and sober
Ripened are amethyst crops of corn and grains in the field
Rivaled by a soft golden glow of the gibbous harvest moon
Undeniably beautiful, when in October its glow is revealed
Seduced by its romantic luminance, lovers kiss and swoon
On All Hallow's Eve, I see scary costumed trick-or-treaters
Feasting on candy given by generous household greeters
Ode to October, there's a chill aloft, whispering in the air
Conspiring with Mother Nature in such a glorious season
This pleasant month arrives with a stir of festive fanfare
Offering a kaleidoscope of colors, and with good reason ~
Brushes in artists hands paint landscapes of Autumn days
Eagerly, I welcome those dazzling hues that seem to blaze
Rife with splendid riches, I chant October's songs of praise

Jim's hemorrhoids were hurting him so
He then went to a doctor named Flo
With her fingers she probed
while old Jim was unrobed
Then Jim yelled out, "Doc, I have to go"
It was then he started passing gass
Right in the doctor's face, that poor lass!
soon after Flo passed out
And it left not a doubt
That old Jim was a pain in the a**

Anxious, I was at the door
to the vestry, rehearsing
words, visualising movements,
roles of others, checking prompts.
I've left it behind! Have I
the time to go back? Panic.
No.
Before the altar
collecting, connecting – God
– stillness? Racing random thoughts.
We've begun; announced, onward,
processing.
Lord, have mercy.Christ, have mercy.
To the altar, offering,
naked. Exposed as Adam,
unrobed.
Lord, have mercy.
Awake, cold sweating, relieved,
rising again.
Lamb of God,
grant me peace.

The words better naked,
the song better clothed
My feelings stripped bare,
my lyrics exposed
I flash and I streak,
the melody warms
Now fully unrobed,
—my song to adorn

Around fires of desire -- danced she
Dark-eyed beauty captures his soul
Castanets and stormy feet
Flailed to fiery beat
Encountered heart tones
Chords--Unrobed heat
Guitar strings

-Sweetness coagulates,
stiffening resolve
to capture fugacious episodes-
Like an unrobed woman,
draped across fractured light,
tempting my skin,
pulsing pheromones across
the peak and troughs of my breath.
Seeping through cracks,
in callow defences, this icon
demands piety –demands satisfaction-
and trapped in allure,
of suggested orgasmic pleasure,
lips part in half-moon smile
of surrender.
Conflating arousal,
staining lips with you,
feed conflagration,
and so satisfy desire.
-memories are deceitful,
each dedicated
to sustaining this addiction-
