Chivas Regal
the tea cup
saucer for the Butts

rouge red like winters
rose your lips
and slender hips
glacial sculpt
like a drift

into the dream
scented
realms your
fingers tips
glanced my
shoulders
and pulled the
lace from boots
street gritty
and knife slip
sheath shiv
like a theif's
tip too the unwary
unblinking lashed
innocence
that shone in
the dull snow falling
orbit and irise
worlds the windows
of your mind
sighing
falling softly
like an echo
to the storm tossed
quilted king sized
matresse
lozenge meds on
kitten tongue
and voice small
and dainty
like a touniquette
bound on the wound
where Loves arrow
found

us

lovers
in a dangerous
rhyme

not understood

oh man...I was laughing...meaning cigarette butts
the tea saucer....
was tired..my attitude was like the movie simile of
throwing cards into an upturned hat
words arriving and arranged
somewhere in this is a poem

glacial sculpt...hmm. sand dunes
that rounded edge
like hipbones and forearms
I love structure
contrasts ..

I used too help my ladies
with their footgear
fingertips on my shoulders
or I would tie up their laces
back when everyone was
happy
happier

this poem is loosely based on Kim
a girl I knew long ago
spent an evening talking
whille the snow fell down on the
balcony beyond the sliding glass
the town below in its maze and
dazzle of streets and lights
she was really pale...it was
winter..dark hair..large express
brown eyes...no drinking
fictions a lot of my work
I didnt smoke then

people of the road and street
carried knives..
their work..
down a boot..
the girls a small flip knife
that was a long time ago
the use of it was for mind
or ego compare..
the sharp fits into the concealed
of the other
two are a pair a team
minds operating

stealing hearts
thiefs tip...
like..better watch yer purse
or wallet...
like a heartbreaker saying
dont fall in love with this one

orbit is the eye...i think of planet
and seasons when I think of snowfhalkes
the round earth
eyes like worlds
windows....

a rumpled up bed
pills
daintier girls I found fascinating
the cheery countenance
as opposed to the bigger
masculine rubenesque women
Wookies said one girl I knw
from star wars!!
but shes tiny...and tough as
shit...the others were too
but the smiles got them
far..

I think of the little Poe faces
too...

the small voice they used
wrapping round the ego
like streamers
banners of conquests
like being on their little finger!

I was always weak
but forever strong

was trying to throw in the upcoming
valentines day
Cupid
but always still impressed with
Loves manifesto of pain

the danger is in the gamble
of giving
the whole thing..human contact
Love is an art

Lovers..

the whole thing was a construct
thrown together
poetry

I dont know if my explaining this
is any helpful..it feels as far out
there as the poem itself

I talk like this too .too others
and its been like this forever

thank U
