Trixies Love of WordsVerbs almost always start my poems
Wake me up, shake me up, dance around my bed until I am up
They are frolicking, laughing, dancing
Wait! Are these the verbs or my muse Trixie?
Trixie adores verbs!
They are spinning, whirling, twirling
Jumping, leaping, flying.
I feel their frenzy.
Uh-oh, Trixie has switched to prepositions
Her second favorite kind of words
I hear around, onto,...

Your Museam i worthy to be one of your poems?
i see that you call yourself a poet now?
with difference being we no longer write back to each other
regrets, heartbreaks and the hearts that you broke
you paint those lines with the weight you bore
did your heart ever ache on my thought?...

The Road to Maximus and Winter’s de-Reckoning
“The Road to Maximus and Winter’s de-Reckoning”
Winter pulled me into Her
like I was Her new season
and cooly stroked my fevered skin
like the contours of my body
were the finest Lotus silk
an expensive treasure
never seen before nor felt
She curled into the shaded Summer fox hollows of me
and walked nonchalantly without a care...

the Dance
dancing in the wind, a stillness
rushing thoughts, tis’ mental illness?
breaking through the peace in soft light
gusts pause over the ghostly night
songs awash with flowing feelings
the hand of God, posing healings
amazing love makes it alright
gusts pause over the ghostly night
trembling gusts of wonder and hope
rustling over hearts so they’ll cope
this music will surely excite
gusts pause over...

cor meum
"cor meum"
Within the end of "IT" all
no matter gender, cause, colour, creed,
place in life, entitled or without title,
healthy or diseased, or
the choice of who we are,
who we lay in life with and
Love –
yet must never harm a child -
when that time comes,
water in the blood
blood in the water,
there will be great misspellings...

caeruleum caelum

de hyacintho nazarene
testimonium:
white stallions,
clouds commanding
Christus imperium
above all below
all below
now present to worship
a secular ghost
stopped dead in their tracks
those ridiculous battalions
games of war and monopoly
the bored oligarchies,
their silent sirens
their ignorant factions
their dark hidden cabal
like roaches found crawling
under cover in dark...

le livre bleu
“le livre bleu”
Terabytes.
lonely poets, writers,
musicians and artists play here,
they wear masks that cover
vermillion dripping smiles
over sharp little wolverine teeth,
they drown their sorrows in their muses -
contemporary little monsters – Still Life,
they call it “art”,
smiles;
gothic invested, they adore
the overzealous use of the word “lachrymose”,
they swallow it up until they’re drowning
in the macabre...

Americano
"Americano"
filter-dripped
watered down
weak coffee
artificial
the mood
steaming diluted
swings lower, unfilling;
the wanting
lusciously dark
hot to the tongue
more rapid
complex in richness
animated
scalding and sharp
Expresso
piercing arrow
shoots straight to the heart.

Red RealityI’m like a ball of yarn
ready to be knitted
But I’m not sure
If loose or form fitted
Souls would be best
I wrestle with myself
How can I be a better person
When I am so self absorbed
Always wanting to be free
Yet enjoying the fruits of
Union
Wanting a kiss
Yet desiring virgin lips
I’m a walking contradiction
With a multitude of...

FacebookvilleMy muse provides me nothing with which I can get to work
And so I spent an hour on Facebook… boy, am I a jerk
A pointless waste of time and space and lots of stuff, all fake
I should just paint a wall and watch it dry, for goodness sake
There’s videos in Facebookville where you watch things...

Ocelots
"Ocelots"
It was during that time
they all decended into the lush fields of poetic madness,
swaying indolently with the other tall green poppies,
who for once in their small lives basked in noticeability,
their blooming heads bending into each other -
they didn’t require pollinating, they were ardently self-prophecising;
the stings of bees had been smoked out, yet...
