Young Star

Above the red horizon
she peeps to smile at me,
with buds in her tossed hair
lighting her warm glances.

My fingers sketch young eyes,
distant- blue across the clouds
as we cuddle in spirit
dear baby, a star.

Drug Abuse

Inexplicable is my exasperation
While the substance of evil is numbing,
Degradation only leads me to desperation
Closer to my unbecoming.

Unbelievable; this is my reality
My delusion breaks down as I cry;
As brutality meets fatality
Impending; I may die.

As the battle ends, I can’t let go
Crippled by disdain---
The fear in my eyes shows
And the moons of my pupils wane.

The one thing I’ve fought to destroy
Awakens to the summoning;
Of the paranoia I can’t avoid
This is my unbecoming.

Tipping the Waiter

A masculine waiter winked at me 
flashing a smile with his fine goatee
he needed a big tip
but such plan took a dip
when I claimed, "Ask your boss; my hubby."

Fish Tanka

I gaze at a bowl

Where goldfish swivels through moss

Its fine gills aglow---

With such aquatic prowess
As it wiggles restlessly

Warmth of Lips

dressing the twilight
with rhinestones of red passion
lovers flame warm lips

Quivering Shapes

Chest on bosoms tightly pressed,
As waists  meet in dance of heat
To flare lust of evening’s touch---
Silhouettes cast dizzy frames
Burning pores from tango’s whip;
And quivers of motion rise
With abandoned cadences.

Owl Hoots

between dawn and night
spaces of time strains hours
except when owl hoots

A Positive Poem

crystal waters line the shore
festive as love potion’s dew
gushing words echo birds’ call--
like cool serenade

mounds of earth-clay  warm
nighttime’s ride through sand castles
as bubbles fly with lip-talks--
dash of rendezvous

Old Memories

Haze of deep evening

The blue light rests on my hands

Letters  getting old
  
On  sepia  of frail pages,

Love wakes in its fevered silence

Rosette Clouds

rosette clouds sweep on
glazed by jewels of twilight...
hushing amazed eyes
