One Pleasant July Day

It started with conversation
and coffee, of course, and kissing
before we drove a bit northward
to enjoy the day puttering
and the night in contemplation,
of admissions of love.

Natural Mechanics

Most gentle of push pull me ‘way,
yet the fences are all barbed with wire,
I have no reason for to stay,
my heart’s begun to tire.

Metal thorns may be sharp and still,
I put forth my flesh against the jagged rust,
cuts will mend but the lack of never will,
and so I must.

‘Round rotting posts the meadows stretch,
crawl across the dirt and darken at the valley’s end,
reeds leap near to skies the hills have met,
or at least I will imagine.

^foster horde^

clammy chill
the trees have swallowed up
the yard and grown like
menacing shadows
swooning in their silk black
leaps through the dust
filled curtians
hushed house
just the echoes of
the leaky tap[
at dusk and dawn
the search of light
sent in with the
giants show
of abstract monstrosities
till guillotine shadowfall
steals the sun
and the violet brutal
longing of lonliness
settles...firing up like
the streetlights
from a dull simmer
to the brilliant sizzle

Missing those nights

when out were all lights
perhaps dimmed
to see your silhouette on purpose
the shining smooth silk of cashmere
Oh my dear
twas those nights
like honeymoon
despite the fact
there was no moon

your lips brushed mine
well should I once again
with divine
rhyme

but all the same
my hands slowly went low
down below

the bell rang
and you sprang

the end
a long period!

Lonely Nights

This place seems so empty
The music in my ears so dull
Where are you all? Please call.

I sit here as the day passes
Thinking of things to do
Tempered by keys I cannot see.

Where are you out there?
That you seem to have forgotten me
The stars are dim or is it my eyes?

It is time for us all to share
Why do you just sit and stare
I will be here for as long as it takes

Your new day will bloom
Or the old one will cling to you
Damn I have things to share time is few.

An Imperfect Heist of Love

Bonnie met Clyde,
And the sun met daylight.
It was like when the thief met crime,
And the moon met night.
No two were more meant for each other.

Poetry and mystery; the elements of love.
Fast cars and whiskey,
Fueling passion written in the stars.
When the bank alarms rang out,
The tommy guns made shout.

Cash and jewelry rain down,
The smell of gunsmoke and perfume.
'A match made in the stars above, so below.'
Their love was the purest poison.
No earthly power could separate the two.

Prisca enang is missing

and acolytes of callow youth
to make minors centigrade of descry
utopian, will you awaken acquiescence
Palestine in its boyish age,
attrition fright palsy
but masquerade sentinels trees stand
over mortal tiredness, worthless than demented brigands
amok basketsfull yarn small ship worlds
reclusivity a starry eyed obeisance
purported prima causa,
if i die and i dont see king David,
no i must.

+S A L I N E-

grams of silence
weighted in the slender arch
the palm prior paths
Octavius's oath hastened
on light glistened gurney

the slim lines translucent
like serpents rising
administer
admittance

pinch me
I'm alive
fighting

buried in the gauze
realms
and fog mines

sleepy world

How is it every time, I awake
I find the sleepy world
all my accepted friends are snoring
and when they come on line
they will not find
me active and alive
so Likes they will leave for me
to count and strive.

keep snoring gals and guys
life is so boring
sleep and death are akin
long, silent and snoring

I just woke up from slumber
to realize
death is no surmise

a deafening long eternal sleep
from which none does ever rise.
that is for real
but no surprise

Idul Fitri

The fasting month has come to pass
now it is time to celebrate Idul Fitri
weaving memories of happiness
as we visit the homes of loved ones
rejoicing in the moments of bliss

Tears of joy spilling, washing away
a mountain of past sins.
Praise Allah for all his blessings
as we embrace one another
in the spirit of togetherness,
acknowledging our wrongs
to heal broken ties
and to form a stronger bond
formed by love, faith and unity
