Slumber Party Seance
The sun was blinding
but not as much as your rounded oceans
Sparkling like a firecracker
Like the first tinges of a lighter
Hold it up to me and see my eyebrows twitch
As the...

This is meIn the depths of darkness a sad girl resides
Her heart heavy and burdened, with secrets she hides
She walks through life a shadow in disguise
Haunted by her demons her sorrow never subsides
A killer within her, an...

Buried Answers TrimericAn abandoned treehouse left to rot
intrigued a pair of inquisitive teens;
Suspended in the air like a starship
a haven for Gulf coast runaways;
Intrigued a pair of inquisitive teens
approached it’s elevated pathway;
So much loitered...

Nena's CarDriving so fast and so far
With the windows down
Letting the winter wind leave for a day or two
To bring in the shivery summer breezes.
To many lipstick-stained smiles,
Too many candied photos,
Too many times I wish I...

The Roots Crowd My ReflectionI’m not you.
And I never will be.
Even though as each day dies off,
I’ve come to notice you in passing windows.
When it should be me looking back,
I realize that I’m the apple that fell.
Far too close...

Back Passage BillyI'd chosen you as my flunky -
Your hair - Neanderthal red,
You'd hurry towards my shrill calling,
De-cloth me and roll me to bed.
'Textured', you woo-ed, 'mild and creamy',
Said I'd never last long on the shelf,
I blushed,...

The DanceI sleep
And sleep
And I push the alarm away
I open my eyes and go about my day
Readying for the dance
Picking up and carrying my bags
Walking to the venue
Arriving at the door
I feel the buzz of my...

Music And LoveMusic And Love
The Allegro
With its lively quickness
Will accompany the young lovers
As they ride their bicycles
Along the winding country roads
The Adagio
With its tender seductive melody
Will accompany nascent Love
Sumptuous harmonies
Will caress their heart
As...

Tick, Tick, TickSoft and complacent
our youth in denial
What evil disguises
the past has on file
Wishing and hoping
a smokescreen at best
Masking our fear
while fouling our nest
The seeds of our history
whose names have been damned
And mocked until cancelled
our heritage banned
In...

Even Jester Jack
For those who know me, this may be a surprise
My mood lately has been less than upbeat
The years must be catching up with me
Lately I've been thinking a lot about life
How it all seems so...

YouthWhen we were young
we had the world at our feet.
No fear could stop us
and everything was sweet.
We weren't aware
of the good and the bad.
Everything we knew
was a fun to be had.
We spoke what we want
unaware...

Shimmying Up TreesI'd trek through the woods as a boy,
for Nature was my source of joy.
And She taught me things I didn't know,
many forgotten years ago.
I saw how the land would transform,
blanketed by a Winter storm.
And I'd...
