“A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds.” -Percy Bysshe Shelley

Finely printed news
The woman with the thin narrow hands
trimmed and nude nails,
received the good news
And here she was
spent
and broke.
She was tired and should have slept,
instead, she nearly died
with the pen in between her fingers
and raw knuckles.
Even this was half expected,
she thought the words were enough
but they did not touch her in a good way.

Is this bliss?
Fleeting moment to
day to pass by happenstance
and happen to say

What is thine is divine and is feline
How sweet it is!
He chose me, he did.
Lucky to be
There then
when he wanted on his wild whimsy.
A seven-year itch, though it may be.
You see, it is quite easy to
cherish thee more every day
feeling more spiritually on air
by him just being there
by choice. His voice
calls and beckons for little me
whose heart feels about to burst forth
and spill thy weaknesses all over
with emulsified energy,
found the warmth we each seek
From the sun
this is how he follows thy heat
day by day.
That is all we can do, soak it up,
sound would only muffle the space.
So we should hold silence gently
and stay in this moment, you noticed me
waiting to be saved. You made me
meet you more than half way.
And now, this is we,
joined in verse where eternity is
guaranteed and easily granted
permission to feel what is happy.
We should
be happy, now,
with our own two eyes
and keep holding on to each other
for as long as little life will keep
holding us back.

Duel-ality
Make me.
You’ll see.
Better than
what you had not fantasy
or yummy treats for Pavlov’s complacent puppy.
I will sit
and stay-for you-master-full.
Why-I want to make you happy-
all over
ecstatic insanity. Conversely, this is pretty
good for nothing worth trading
souls,
never do I say.
To be
told you I won’t, you don’t,
I can’t help it always
feeling this way,
abraded when edges
won't fit,
the smooth cliff beckons
my plunge.
We were
not trying to hold on
to each others exposed roots,
loosening further what has eroded
off the bark,
exposed
sap dries the heart-
wood.
More about
together, alone.
We could be both those
Some days plays well
w/ others &
always wins
by cheating.
I let him.

Any last feelings
When asked, at death's gate
shall thee prefer to enter
happy,
satisfied, or content-
will you choose?
I'd like to think
when I circumnavigate my trip
I'd take a view of contentment.
Though a man I know
answered this hurriedly-
Happy! he bursted-
I doubted one would like
to die-then-
I said-As in-having sex?
He said he couldn't ask for more-
of course, he couldn't then-
satisfied
Lovers: Sex and Death (a taboo tryst)
are actually akin
to sacrifice for something
we knew
annihilated
to be-
come
a piece-full
of
you, like
All men.

Mary Poppins (my balloon)
Do you ever wake up with a smile already waiting
behind your mask,
it feels and looks like
No worries,
it's all good,
my pleasure,
and all are true
and on that day
for some strong sensational vibe
that moves in rolling waves
that nothing can pierce your levitated mood
or drag down your magic carpet
-that without any specific reason or cause-
every-single-thing
makes perfect
sense,
it all adds up
it all works perfectly the way
it should, the right answer,
poetic justice, (re:)solutions and serendipity
and
it's all real?
Not really?
Me neither.

Water bearer
The gargoyle has a better
vantage point,
which explains the smirk.
Tho' he'll never tell
what goes on
over our heads,
while we lie
in bed
wandering in dreams
it seems...
'Twas Medusa that said,
Look at me, wait right here for me,
I will give you eternity-
and after a while
of peering at the gargoyles smile
clear as day
the words
came dripping out,
Try
first
to be happy
as you are
just in case
this is your final face,
and then it began
to rain again.

A Spring in my step
Did you see how big the sky was today?
I took particular notice of her limber stretch
and wide grin
Happy and Light in forever blue
I happened by chance to be in a hurry
funny how these things grab you just then
On my way to Nowhere
more important than here
I'm not sure if I should guess
you have these strange long moments too
The air smells like hot Youth
and bottomless Freedom
The tempestuous whisper taps you on the shoulder
a sultry breeze murmurs something in your ear
about having fun
Shhh, your Time is not yet done
Like lust its so hard to refuse
a harmless offer to dance on air
or drown every pore
wrapped in blankets of flowing atmosphere
A smile sneaks up on your face hoping
you don't notice first or ruin it with thinking
Let it Ride at Full Speed Ahead
ringing and singing Hells Bells
I am suddenly parched
by this urge, or maybe a growth spurt
rapid blossoming
Now I understand wildflowers
There is no rhyme
or reason
just appreciating time
noticing I changed with the Season.
