WORDS
No Contest
the waxing red
sweet peach beneath
a languid sky
and pink spring day
lazy luscious
hot soaring light
recall diamonds
delirious
like love can be
Essentials
a stormy bare woman
in shower spray with rusty hair
rose petal suit of boiling mist
drives away sad urges
death in a dress
drunk on drool
fast shot lather up
sordid sausage apparatus
mean moaning moon scream
finger fiddle friendship
one less pound of pole please
it is about need, not want
esta
Coastwatchers
see honey sun
and smooth blue sea
together sing
a symphony
as time blows by
above our head
dream of gardens
the whisper said
franticly play
swim in cool lake
run through black rain
& live with the ache
Conundrum
picture these here, she say
you ask to watch
sit not go, she say
you do
Life”s Bitter Beauty
mad winds elaborate
a purple juice smear
as enormous forest gown
a thousand summer shadows
lie as water tongues
never sleeping
puppy lick breast milk
girl eat chocolate egg
men heave rock
feet smell sweaty
mother cry blood
the goddess is armed
Show Bag
TV lust likely
Must have overran him/her
So like weed on drip
Time Will Come
are there of my what
when if though yet no wanted
let those put it why
Trudge
chant ugly
repulsive man/boy
who crushes language
worships fluff
stills all shine
he is raw butt meat
Dirge
some gorgeous panting beat
will stop after use
but but but but bed
SOUND SHADOWS
unseen energies of a single life
personal private
impossible to share
untouched by language
knots of old ribbon
worn frayed
stray memory strands
from a life of past presences
entangled beyond untangling
persistent as the hush between heartbeats
each pulse validating the past
a precursor of the future
the arpeggio of a new day
sound blossoms blooming
releasing sensuous sighs
diffusing everywhere
engulfing everything
gracefully aloft
chrysalis to copper wing
airborne soaring
absorbing surrounding sensations
clues guiding flight
sensory souvenirs pervade life
subconsciously harvested
concealed in intimate diaries
pressed flat between pages
stored for safe keeping
a repository of thoughts actions emotions
validating a life
a solitary journey
endured alone
in mindful meditation
this unescorted spirit
in a labyrinth of mirrored walls
the glass holding no true reflections
simply suggestions
harmony and dissonance conjoined
perceptions transformed
beyond the igniting spark
augmenting a personal universe
unique to each beholder
surges of cerebral sensations
brain waves assimilating the flow
a flow not unlike sea waves
foaming crescendos on a shoreline
swelling and subsiding
submerging beneath the surface
powerful undercurrents
flooding back to source
past and present entwined
a harmony of swirling sensations
enveloping senses
enhancing experiences
fostering mindfulness
persistent irrepressible echoes
actively fathomless
pervading deeply
infusing the soul
resonating with enduring pulse
perpetually texturing life
