Yellow Chiffon
Yellow chiffon,
isn’t that a pie?
Sensual deviant,
deep as cabernet
I never knew
that you could fly.
Just between you and I
spotting kindness, I must comply.
Solar system abide
two hearts collide
and Out of blackness
a star, it shines.
life on earth
a star is adored
feminine girth
a diamond is forged.
an earthen mirth
of invaluable worth,
love on earth
is a spiritual rebirth.
2.
Lost
I wish I could write a song for you.
Just a line, one or two.
I think about our history, and things of past,
and I never realized that our time wouldn't last
as long as eternity.
that moment of just you and me
that moment is lost,
dead like frost
on my windshield
a writer's guild
I think of you as the ice transforms
to a vision of you, so adorned.
I'm ashamed for taking you for granted,
a seed in me you are planted.
3.
Mourning the Dove
mourning dove,
why is it that lost anxiety finds us so well?
a song is but a trigger finger through the darkness of lost synapses in the
brain.
lost electrical flickers of cognitive pains mend their way through my mind like
veins.
Inert wisdom fills black holes like water.
leaking.
4.
Vision Clouded
Keep the wisdom flowing like goulash
standard.
Out my brain, and into the slave.
12 degrees south. my rainbow cries in the morning.
12 degrees east. my rainbow calls out
In the west my heart begins to wander
lost, looking for the pot of gold.
In the wrong place.
Weakness is standard.
Vision. Clouded.
5.
Rustling Grass
Rustling grass
swim near
Bent reeds
bow to me
I receive their tide.
6.
Moonfall
The moon falls
out of my crotch
once a month or so.
It falls hard like a rock
polished, formed into a new me.
a new me, like from a long time ago.
A new child looks at me
pale moon face,
a new soul. It’s not me.
7.
Loneliness
Sadness dripping, squinting
in the sunlight.
Reflections of my thoughts glimmer
through the frosty pines this morning.
I lean back in my chair,
gaze out the window, admire sparkling snow
and all I can think about
is you. a fairy whisper.
My ear it tickles
Delightful, squeamish, laughter, uncomfortable.
I’m waiting for the night to come
white wash aluminum pale-light
moon light turns grasses into seas.
Slipping passed, a new addendum
pale-light dreams turn into screams.
Red-wash sorrow
you hear me holler
like pig’s and children’s screams.
8.
Tapping Heat
Nothing to fight
nothing to hold
on to
life is dust
and I am reduced
to memories-mere
electrical passing
sparking
tapping heat
in gray fleshy orbs.
Little brains
twirling around the universe.
Killing the peace, and sadness
simply by remembering.
9.
Sapphire Glow
A black liquid sways in my cup.
my dear, hold reverence, I pity thee.
see my sapphire glow
my elements slip past your lips,
passed your wisdom
overflow indulge
A black cabernet sways in my cup
the vibration of the earth
of the wind
Tears of laughter, I smile
just watching, smiling.
You look so beautiful in the
yellow light. I bask aglow.
Drink this vintage,
curb your insanity
wings that cover me
fire that sings to me,
trodden by life
to keep on healing.
Sing to me justice, a rhythm,
a choral reef around
my neck
submerged.
caustic whisper, my lips are sealed.
You, a brilliant light shimmering
across the sky.
I lay on the grass,
and wonder,
whisper your name
through a smile
de Kooning cat laughs once,
right before you fall asleep.
10.
Elegant Wine
The stars float downstream
in the shadows I crouch and lean.
I watch them flicker on by.
Still in the night, I lie waiting
These orbs before me not for the taking
a stellar dream, your face is seen and I cry.
Still I wait by
My heart I deny
to touch this image of you.
Yet in mine mind
Our hearts entwined.
This torment cannot continue.
elegant wine
so sublime
kiss the vintage out from my neck.
Still embrace
I love your taste
it’s passion and it’s torment.
11.
Curly Willows Haiku
Curly willows milk
the saps of earth below them.
and sing like moon light
12.
Fake
Shatters these dreams in my face
How quickly my name is disgraced
Shatter the dreams of my past
where I see love that...
13.
The Smell of Summer
Sing for a moment
in a black car
in black style
Roll down the windows
and Roll—
Vapors of heat
shimmer in my mind
I float downstream like water fowl
lingering, and greeting...
Living in a poem
my champaign heart
consumed from a black bottle.
The Smell of Summer
Thick in the air
waving love around like a phantom.
California bliss
radiates from the black top.
Top-hat-and-cane
a black car and a smile
that just can’t stop growing.
Summer Love heat
rises, freshly baked pines
dry, I stub my toe
on a little speed bump;
and laugh.
13.
Empty Insects
Lay insect figures in my head.
Paper-crisp thoughts
Making Love in a frozen temple
Now the decade circles around us
Millions shall dance to your creepy eyes
As the decade passes it answers our questions.
You must believe in something
Every place I go to wander
I find myself with a paper doll to feed.
14.
a soft yellow sun with a white rim
guided by voices, emerges over the dark trees.
Don’t worry little one. I am here.
My destination.
Oblivion
Seduction.
15.
Killing Time is Over
Killing time is over
Eternal bliss cannot dismiss this satisfaction,
And all I can think about…this satisfaction, this
Tingling satisfaction.
Radical Bliss
Captured by a dream,
To forever float in the River from your throat.
A wicked cherub
Stings my past
And gives me something
Which I’ve never had.
A strength endurance
Embrace the wind,
He’s still as a child
Scared in bed.
He lets me play
My party fancies,
And do my dance of intrigue.
Killing time is over.
Dear God what have you done.
The killing time is over.
Champaign bliss will overcome.
I lie here dormant for hours.
My pulse slows to a gradual hum.
I remember the pulse of which was yours
On the still dreary morning.
Your pulse ran thick and fast
And all I can say is thank you , for holding me.
16.
Witch come runnin’ down the hill.
A fast steed…
The witch come rolling over.
Playing time has begun.
17.
Bursting Delight
from a shapeless world of darkness thick as space,
within the stillness of murky desire I cling to a weed.
a silvery suspire a lurking Eros, a sluice of longing.
to touch the surface and pop it.
The stillness, the pressure
of the numbing darkness surrounds me.
A swoosh of a darter releases me.
Drifting in a single direction,
Driven out of the moment, for the first time
I see a flicker.
Parallel beams guide my way to the surface
where I at last will sit in ornament of the moonlight
stretching tension at the water’s surface.
A blue light flickers along my edge. I giggle and pop.
a burst of laughter gone fatal.
18.
Interstellar Sigh
The stars were flung onto,
the black sky just for you.
And as you sigh
a star will die.
But don't despair,
The pain will still be there.
death surge bless a star tonight
a single star can die a sigh tonight.
See the stars fly like fliers.
See the fliers fly like stars.
See the moon fold into the hue.
The stars were made just for you.
and as you sigh a star will die.
within your sigh do not deny
the pain. it will always be there.
and as you die,
Your lingering sigh falls into crystals crying.
I'll kiss each cry, The falling diamonds I
melt it down, and hot it with life.
So don't despair, I'll always be there.
19.
A Dragon's Tear
I turned around,
to see the Last time,
Scales covered in blood.
and I turned around
for the last time
and watched it wash away. A red tear befallen.
I viciously attempt, I deny mine eyes. my heart somber, gone black.
Turn around in sequence, deny mine eyes, haunted by the sequence
my heart though small, lay drying in the sun in a meadow, accompanied by flies.
Glossy black ants fill the inside devouring like an apple.
A tear of red vaporizes a trail like a comet, an interstellar dream, frozen in time.
collapsing in circles, ice crystals form orbit, driven by the sequence of dreams and the
pain of existence.
Stop dark in the night
She folds her clear lid across her eye
a black lash befallen.
She gave her last breath
to true love's kiss
The black night befallen.
20.
A Freak’s Dream
a freak's dream...
dark rain post a material thick and black
dark rain dwell in walls thick dungeonesque
Feel alive, scream out the hallow
up through cold ground, my tears I fallow.
Hunt a bisque night, a vapor to fallow
In a cold night, a dream pill to swallow.
A freak steal fast, a whole lifetime's past,
a freaks dream dead in the hours that passed
A freaks dream thrives in the nights that fallow
you a dream, and a night pill to swallow.
21.
Deadly Grape
Lying Back-down in a grape of darkness.
I feel the sounds compress
My face settles like a creek bed.
I wince in the pain of the undead.

Passion Time
Passion time – drink some wine – forget the rigors of the day.
Pass your time – know what’s mine – circum to the child at play.
Eleven times – I’ve seen you shine – like owls scorched by day.
Passion thieves – 9 whistling pine – back and forth will sway.
24.
Suffocation
I once had a heart
and it was the wind that held it-
held it tight and blue
a Kiss of a Midnight Hue
reMains a Stain on You
25.
She smells her way through the fog like a deer, puffing and snorting, with a wet nose glittering. She systematically suspends them like cheriblum.
Xylem and Phloem, a tree’s pulse and rhythm. The moss girl sparks her way through the system.
Cerebral reflex buzz like insects. Jars full of charm chant the night’s contents.
26.
hide behind a doll face without a smile,
and smile like it’s all you got.
hide behind the placid illusion
of a porcelain china-doll face
and play with all you got.
you smile, we think you’re not.
27.
The flower
but flew away
Pink petals
floating in the wind
it caught a ditch
and there, she wept.
28.
do you remember
that time I dressed
in the dark of the night
and we went into the forest?
do you remember what I said-
do you remember
the good place to die?
remember now,
the poplars hissing
draw upon a sweet breath kissing.
i took you all in.
hissing in
the poplars sway
the skele-tons sing
skele-songs ‘till day.
29.
Cream Dreams
Cream dreams rise like fire.
Kisses in a sweet dream cold, they burn me
The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is but cold, white marble to me.
In a religious dream I scream high
My earthen heart soars beyond comprehension.
Kisses in a sweet dream. Soar higher, above the clouds,
Where the air is so cold that it cracks your skin.
Our spirits fly as we kiss sweet dreams into each other’s minds.
These dreams shall fallow me forever, and will be
My sense of eternity. I’ve stained the body of eternity with
My love for you.
Kiss my dreams on the shadows of Rocks. Kiss me in places beyond our vision.
Kiss my neck until it swells and is dry.
Feel my moon tonight. Fulfill my anguish tonight.
30.
time for two
time to tea
time for three
tea for three
time to see
time to breath
breathe the tea
It’s time to see.
31.
Grapes Scurry
The grapes scurry about
the vineyard while the
Jays sleep.
32.
Dogs of Fire
Smoke rising like mist. Drizzle on my windshield.
My voice is the voice that can’t be heard.
Sing with me the song of sorrows,
Sing with me of the good in the night.
Dogs of fire, come close to me. Beseech me.
Bedazzle me with intimacy.
Dogs of fire turn to gold and bite me,
light my way, and entice me.
Dogs of fire. Dog the day,
throw your embers at me.
Elucidate fiction at my dismay
Entice your addictions for me to play.
Days of dog. Dogs of fire.
Begin in me the phantom desire.
Days of dog, rise like fire
rise from ash a renegade respire!
33.
Rain.
Victims dance.
A prelude to chance.
Fallow me down like rain.
Lick me shallow.
Lick me hollow
Lick onto me the rain.
Fallow me down
Onto the ground
Kiss on the earth like rain
Lift you high
Know you’re mine
Love in dark disdain.
34.
The Jazz swings slow
Rhythms while
Scattered heads
Swing with the beat.
The hips of the
Singer swing
With her head
Bobbing and
Black hair that
Swirls to her feet.
Her velvet skin
Flashes the
Waltz that leads
Scattered heads
Dancing,
Enjoying the treat.
35.
Sweet Shadow
Thinking of you
Again. Like a dream
Thoughts of your heart
Pass through my shadow.
36.
Scurry Vipers
scurry vapors
hungry vipers
slither curly shadows
fiddle crumble showers
peer into the nighttime’s past
nighttime slipping fast
a life is shown
a lifetime’s past
courage is might
fright off sight
I’m already gone.
37.
Dashing dazing: see my face scream with wonder.
Shiny meadows gleam white, bleached in the scorch of the sun.
Tiny buzzers click through the grass as I walk.
Dash a haze behind my sight.
The air is cooling to take on the night.
The night air creeps in through the grasses around my feet.
Warm day air swirls in my face. I laugh out loud.
The sky is purple, white green and blue. Dusk.
I know what’s right. All I can do is crouch
In the shadows, and wait for them to find me.
These are the blessings that come at night.
39.
The Plight of an Artist
Still
of Life.
Char
of Coal.
Aesthetics
Unfold
the tales
untold.
40.
A Dragon’s Cauldron
A dragon’s tear
A drop
In the cauldron of love.
It took me so long to understand you.
I close my eyes
And for a moment see
A carriage with a lantern
Approaching around the wooded bend.
For a moment we touch
Sigh into my mouth and I sing
the pulse deep into my heart
Our pulses ring
Press our palms together
Embraced in stillness
Hold fast and still, a last time
And fall back, slipping away through
The passages of the night
And again, here I am.
And you, only a memory.
41.
Teenage Ignorance
What used to be
reasonable now the murmuring echo of
adolescent thinking is
adult kayos-
human ignorance.
42.
The vampire sleeps tonight.
The moon is out with no light.
“A tribute to they”
Then passes away.
The vampire sleeps tonight.
The vampire stirs tonight
And submerges into sight.
He smells the air,
And blinks in his stare
Then settles his head out of fright.
The vampire watches tonight
Silently out of sight-
All those who pass by
Beneath the night sky
He snickers, knowing it’s night.
The vampire walks tonight.
The moon is out in full light.
“A tribute to thee“
Says silently he-
Then séances off in the night.
The vampire stalks tonight
Completely out of sight.
A dash of blood
And there is no cry.
The vampire feasts tonight
The vampire sings tonight
Shimmering in the moonlight.
Fear not says he
For I have a key
And he passes inside with might.
Hiding in shadows of trees,
Perching on quivering leaves.
He enters inside
And does not hide,
Deep in your house tonight.
43.
A spot of gold, and a smile to feed with.
A rebel’s face of gold.
A spot of haze on the sun.
A shadow licks me no more.
I feel his breath again on my cheek,
I rest in the feeling of more.
44.
A shiny gold will
and a hunger still
Be still the twilights of evening.
A tiny gold will
My love for you still
Grows deep in the darkness of bleeding.
45.
Wish the Fish
Wish the fish
To wash the dish
And fill the plate with tea.
Wish the crow
Beneath the snow
The cradle rocked with thee.
Wished the sea
Eternal plea
Tomorrow your night is sorrow.
Wish with me
A drunken plea
To wash the marrow of morrow.
