Mother's Day

Warm, hot, tears

Disbelief!

Yearning for a wish.



A pulling ring 


Something is boiling.


What?!

Did you just say that to me?

You are here!



It took years to see,


And now you have me digging through the bathroom trash.

A Love Story or the end of the world?

This story is how I see the Gods of ancient time controlling their RITES in The Age Of Innocence.

All EVE’s were property of the King and must not be defiled by any impurity.

But one day the Great and Terrible Laws offered the King a Truce....

Walgreens

Hungover, dazed and dragging a limp

Waffling of burnt popcorn.

Black vomit,

A stupor that makes stupid look smart.

Squared foils.

Cut straws,

And black fingers.

A few smudges across the face too.

The vulgar Walgreens clerk went too...

Something of beauty—hopefully”

One hundred and fifty thoughts a minute

One hundred and fifty million regrets

One hundred and fifty beats below forty

One hundred and fifty pleas squared ten

Let not the shame of your beating heart kill you-- again



Beautiful Child your...

Divine Rising

I see you
I feel you!
And
Hear you!

Those are words of comfort, and I am hurt! Hurt that I must feel it. Sad that I must feel empty of light. Empty of compassion, and empty of purpose, but only for a moment, only for a little moment.

You...

The Parents

Who stole thy heart my darling

What trickery was there done?

The Mother of All Living 

Forgot about The Sun.

He was a little devious
and Wanted to have fun.


The Father was put to punishing

Under Mother’s bitter shun.


He whimpered...

Virgo Rising

Rising Virgo your innocence is shining. A look in your eyes has invited me to come and play with you. Your beautiful lines don an Oliver Twist that hides a hot burning fire.

The sun dims in shadow when you smile.
The flickering stars shimmer...

Love Plea

Feel my voice call gently, like a Peaceful Dove.
Sparks of life will enter Time to gather Love.
My love, come lay upon my pale naked chest,
We are freed from Eden’s green and idled rest.
Let not the dark powers burn your passion dead,
Black and...

I am not laughing anymore.

The child throws mittens against the wall.
Mom, or no mom, she was cool and withholding.
Daddy use to care until he got the stare.
Purple mittens got lost in the snow.
The repercussion would be too hard to bare.
Knots of worry held the child...

Bubble Gum Ice Cream

When I was little my mom liked to drive her car with an opened can of cold sweaty beer in her center console. My three year old brother, Jay, would always be begging for a taste and I always wondered what they liked about it. That was the...

Birthday Wish

A flick of your wrist,
Lurking with style.
A pick you would twist
Smirking a smile.

It’s not what you said,
Inflictions bear fear
It is what you bled,
Depictions are clear.

A Hallmark greeting
For a birthday Dear
Ought to be pleasing

Shiver

Love,
Take my hand
Feel this Moment sway our Fall
The breath of May has brought Us into a Whirlwind
Face to face
I gaze upon all your beauty
Pressed into the earth
Under the dark veiled sky
We dance
And the orange blossoms quiver
To...

Cracked Blame

A blame game.
Mom!
Copper scrub pad.
Check.
A small flower in a glass tube.
Check.
A light.
Check.

Crackle, Zizzle, ZAZS!
The buzz is on!
A little dizzy and horny as hell.
I just want to be by myself
Smoke, smoke, smoking.

Crawling...

Broken

Aching is curiously sharp, deep, and astounding
Oh, the despair with each enchanted pounding!
Would you believe broken feels physical pain?

My spirit passively shut, imprisoned from raging.
Oh, the defeat, the consequences are still waging.

A Rose Garden

Wind-rocked remontant
Prune out your despair
Grafted in a slant
But not without care

Unmatched to fit growth
A sucker untorn
Knows not a good oath
When chaos is born

Snit, balled, or broken
Hips push the roughing
Truth is unspoken...

Dark Night Day

Innocent Dreamer fear can only be imagined.

You have spooked yourself into despondency.

Deserter, your comfort is always Here.

Your revenge, your tears, your laughter,

Lay in the shadows of Perception.

You are Safe, Never forsaken,...

Blue Line

Follow the blue line.
It is the only way I find home,
Rabbit white on time.

I lost my doggie once, and his bone.
Howie cried all night.
No clue, or ringer; the line went dead.

Searching with a light
I found my Howie with nice Miss Fred,

Delightful

A wisp of hair
Is amusing,
And silky
As it dances
Across her cherry lips.
By design she sweeps her hair behind her ear
Innocently
Revealing the warmth of her skin.
She doesn’t see
The sparkle in the wind
Like I...

A Lighter

Below,
Into another world
Two cobalt sentinels
Reach upward,
And fade into an arch lit sky.
An easter egg,
The values of a shadow
Stretching and rolling

Perfect Choas

Ignorance of here and now
Brings meaningless chaos
Repeating itself
Over, and over again.
Will you remember?
Unseen,
Unknown,
Squeezed into Nothing,
A black hole,
A singularity.
What choice will you make
Perfect...

Communication

Sound.

  A sacred hush.

  Truth.

  Plainly hidden.

  Often uninspired and missed.
