SENRYU

fissured dawn
tributaries of fire
delta in the sky

Don't cry babe

This is a beautiful
crying piece....
it has taken away
all her peace....

she alone is to blame...
but both have a partial game....
they dwelt in some others arms...
Oh what a shame-----

man can enjoy any number of women...
but can't tolerate another one...
eying his woman.....

now they both must keep
secret liaisons aside.....
and
with a firm mind decide.....
they will not go for another ride...

beside or side by side....
they alone can
over this decision preside...

Me in Me

Why does the evening hurt so,
is it when you are not here?
Let me open my own mind.
Drop off my window sill,
let me see that land below.

I dribbled the words as I saw you fall,
it was all pretence, though felt real.
Where to next my imagination?
Will you guide me to places?
Get hold of your thoughts in there.

You loved her so, that you shivered,
then you had to leave her there.
Why imagine when it’s real.
Let me regain my ways for a while,
they have been lost without your smile.

naked hands

wont you die
for the partition of such gynecologic
Inuits and kraal as a Newfoundland
on a dog night afternoon eating mangetout
nakedness overwhelms all relent
consent and content. In tent
the nurses are a bridal infantry
cheer leaders to the chair ring-leaders
feasting less on drear satisfaction
than the game for swollen heads
for gloss was a crossfire
typhoon in pigment hemophilia

we've arrived at our neutral dusk,
Dunes to wind-worn dust!
I taste a great salinity in each breath,
the camisole drenched in rosehip,
is warmed with lavender and love!

Ms. Dog

It came upon me
like a slow breeze,
soft and cool with a ghostly swirl
giving a slight tug at the visions
once safely locked away

as

skin pushed back against the blade
until it split with time and turned
colors against one another

And me, all the while,
wondering
if the scar
would match my sweater

just a comparison

compare

Life with seasons

Intelligence with common sense

Humans with animals

and

Rivers with life's sojourn

we come
to go
and
then
merge with the bigger one

we resurrect
as vapours
back to heaven
after life goes passed
half past seven

why half past seven?

well that's my rising time
each day
until I pass away!'
one day.....

After All...

There is nothing after here and now
Who says there is, is wrong
There cannot be; you must see
No here-after, when you're gone

But, what if ?
There is a god ?
Some great divinity
Suppose there is...
A place like heaven
Made for you and me

What would it be, this place of ours?
A state of bliss; angel's kiss?
Hot babes and hotter cars?

Hook Line And Stinker

Winter lags upon us
we're frozen to the core
While fog that frosts so eerie
rimes the pebbles near the shore.

Murky mists rummage dull
our fishing boat slips wet
while we are feeling weary
drooped with drizzles tête a tête.

Turbid clouds fluster chill
us sea dogs pull the horn
while gloom grows ever leery
making all of us forlorn.

Tiny waves rhythm churn
we feel each salt and slosh
while we sit sick and dreary
dripping wet in macintosh.

bucket list, and no more pages left
the beast in a transit of sedation's
the open fishes mouth now in a bubble
where to brash mutual consent
an alien to his people cannot
to the third eye the least eye
park and shop seldom on ten brothers
all in their sheathed sword proletariat
on the soul not so immune to decadence, sole shaft
slipping as a drop from a rooftop
card of black hearts slop domino
pumpkins on the rail-way prestidigitator
someones heartthrob by flood-lights
