Flaming wicks atop candy cane sticks
mirror holiday revelers’ delight
Their joy shattered instantly
~ flash-mobs alight and unite
I window shopping
For I seek genuine truth
About life and faith.
idling
a spare hour
planning
her next
buy
satisfying
that feminine need-
of a perpetual
heart's cry
housekeeping money
femme fatale seeks temptation

WINDOW SHOPPING AT THE GYM

smooched pecs
glass necks
slaked sex
stocked Adonis pomp flex smooched pecs wink
gym’s monstrous blown glass necks, slaked sex drink

Humor
Moving through the market place
with not a penny left to spend,
Thinking of the letters wrote
she was never going to send.
Wond'ring if the rain will stop,
if the dancing man will appear,
Up and down each aisle I roam
wond'ring if she has e'er been here.
So many faces pass by
with a rush of the shuffling feet,
Yet not a word is spoken
for fear that two might have to meet.
Some come to spend a penny,
some to make a dollar to two,
While some just come to get lost
and hide themselves from other's view.
Looking into reflections
that are moving from wall to wall,
I'm searching for the pictures
which I cannot clearly recall.
I'm asked if they can help me
as their politeness takes a bow,
I thank them for assistance
but I'm just window shopping now.
Window Shopping"
The scarlet maple
Adorns its fall dress
It lives naked in winter,
Dormant...
She will shop in spring,
For wardrobe anew.
