there's a boneyard to the left
of the kitchen

ten thousand elephants
have wondered through

like triumphant
ivory

like memories chained together
in dust

branch dips with sweet light

brutal eve
singing twixt bank
delved refreshed
persistant

rattling like a loose
shock
jarring memories
pantry stock
the winter preserve
the crystal lake top

suffuse drift
like bread
takes dryness
and stirs the
gut to action
stymies restless
desire
and a hunger
forever gaunt

worn are the weary
with pursuit
run mannerism

smiles but silent

Silent Smiles...

In silence she smiles...
She produces a kid annually...
her hubby doesn't like condoms casually.......

Silently she smiles as an insane one....
she cannot conceive since four years...
her hubby fears....
his semen maybe infertile...
but she continues to smile

as if she alone is barren...
a woman...

Yet both hold on
to their smiling countenance
to let others also smile...

So quietly enjoy your life
as you alone
SILENTLY SMILE..

The Search for Innocence

I lost something in those pubic years,
although I would never know what.
It seemed important at the time
and left a hollow deep inside of me.

The years had past me by and by.
I forgot I was even looking.
Yet the dark feeling loomed about
'til obvious punched me in the jaw.

What was lost could never be found.
It died somewhere around age thirteen
behind an imaginary line
that you were never suppose to cross.

iguanadon and proselytes

Armour plating buccaneers of lonelines
Archaeopteryx in a banished island
Percipient of the fleets mumble

Troglodyte deciduous with their flying wing
Grounds also for their surplus decay
That sunflowers subside the penducle

Stones in the meaning of loneliness
Baked camels of the rivers throng
Capsules digests up as death floats placebo

The silhouetted moon grates on the curtain cape
A signet ring to sexless polaris neuwters
Pewter with the groaning combustion monolith

PINWHILE

husk of dreams
bask
viscous
flow

click of a
moment
like a seconds
stitch

swept
stillness
emotional
pin pulled

seconds flick
enumeration
smudge on
inked speed
love
whorls and
dashes
re coil less
and flavored

perfume and
adrenaline
benzos
and absorbine
a lite stutters
in the garish
stream
gushing
cold and clean
to a faucets
squeal

Limit

Headlights stuck behind me,
driving on the same road as I on this lonely night,
remind me of spotlights
and of terror.
I feel the same heat behind my eyes
from burdens and insecurities that do not try to hide,
unlike the tears inside,
that worry in silence
for those lights in the mirror.

Is it your heart?

Can you be mine? – I ask,
Unfold your soul,
You are a river of love
Looking right into you
And seeing
Reflection of me.
Mirror of water,
Gentle feel of your hand,
Is it your heart
I reached?
Or have I just touched
A rainbow?

SPLENDOR edit

SPLENDOR

I write as though I were
in a trance mesmerized
by visions of my own creation
haunted by early childhood
recollections, and the disillusions
that a lifetime brings to each of us
yet we rise to the unique
in a sea of commonality :
this is our Splendor
and our eventual Fall
