Poem Timed

Your monocle swings in darkness,

a midnight paralytic. Your spreading veins

crack in kneaded winces of silence: recalling

you, or at least her round face in opal symmetry,

a braided moon. There is expanse

in this midnight ball and heuristic beauty;

A third you ciphers away for the slumping

ponds imagination can only torque; here!

Further back! I am glazing Dramamine

on your lips, you ask for motion sickness

and we are married in burning sheets

of microfilm, our mouths concordant

Who The Hell is Errol Flynn

There's no pain I've experienced, that comes even close to cramp,
Though it lets you know it's coming, just before it sets up camp.
That little twinge, that shaft of pain, announcing that it might,
Is your only chance to straighten things and put up half a fight.

More often, it has got you... and the knife begins to twist,
And although you rub, like making fire, the bastard will persist.
The pain sets in, you reach the floor and stretch to find relief,
But that doesn't change the battle, it's just you and self belief.

Free Advice

Laugh once
Laugh twice
You cannot laugh in vain

The giddy heights of hilarity
May not save you
From the flame

But they are a cheap way
To pass the wine
As you dance in the grain

A dancing monkey
Is only terrible
On the end of a chain

Grind your organ on the footpath
If you want to
It's going to leave a stain

The grey despair of your ugly life
Is a wound up pain
But you can zap your brain

Capstone of writing

At a time when darkness sprouts like a dwarf plumules that seek for moisture and sunlight.
When we could only hear the whispering sound of a cricket.
With a conglomeration of masked awe.
When weakness come knocking at the door of a helpless soul.
A playback of man's actual activity that comes like a trance.
When poets strive to convey emotional ideas in black and white.
I sat beside my bed with an epileptic glittering of an ancient wax.

The Speakeasy.

Led down by soft pale hand moonlit,
to the quiet abyss and promise of trees,
mid-city by the slow ooze of a rivulet.

There, where in grey suburbia,
all time seemed to cease,
as a thousand televisions droned
away ordinary life's decrease
We found you.

A crooked arrow, aslant, yet somehow
at ease: "here be the speakeasy",
a baited hook of dim lit temptation.

The One That Got Away

I hate not being able to sleep
I really can't help but to weep
So much shit in my mind tonight
Hope everything will be alright.

Wishing my life was perfect
She has no reason to suspect
Idolizing a girl that I'll never get
Wish my mind could just reset.

Thinking of that beautiful hair,
That beautiful smile
Damm, you have such an artistic style.

DEAD FAKE ZONE (DFZ)

*DEAD FAKE ZONE (DFZ)*

Deeply sore in words.
I'm lost in this puzzled zone
Of no words like a dumb.

Bees stinging my skin
I couldn't hit it.
A zoophagous zone it is.

Fake affection takes the order
Of the day, no one to trust.
All are venom-filled worms.

They bite in the bright day,
Smite in the dead night.
Yet no one hears their steps.

No friend, no foe.
No price, no pay.
No brother in this wilderness.

Paradise, Lost On Me

flip flops are hard to run in
but not as hard
as being chased
by a barefoot cougar

I'll just stay in the cabana
until I can walk cool
in my boots

mafiosos don't wear
bermuda shorts
I'm not Italian, but
neither do I

I'll just stay in the cabana
until I can walk cool
in my boots
and jeans

I do like sunglasses
kinda' hollywood flyboy style
but those sun visors
got to go

REALITY

I dreamed I slept upon a cloud
of thought which spanned the galaxy
enfolding my form in quantum shroud
which set my sparking photons free.

Each spark transversed the if and when;
future and past were all the same
from bang to final blackness, then
that first time life was brought to flame.

Within the cloud were sounds so strange
clicks and whirrs and things unheard
but ordered so as to arrange
into thoughts and even words.

Friday daylight beach

Friday daylight beach

Yesterday was Friday
we went to the far off beach
'twas a sunny and bright day
driving was fun all the way

There we saw all in bikinis
all guys almost in nude
brawling tummies
not worried

all were sun bathing
half on their backs
the other half upwards bound
no one was worried
who was looking around

they all know we all have concealed
what we don't else wise have revealed

we all similar desires reveal
come sun bathe with us
please.
