GRADIENT GRAFFITI

loves handle carved its smooth
and savage collision
test mannequin reaction
like woolen wired monkey mothers
and manners like elaborate
cheques
beneath the oilskin
beneath the drawer
mixed stainless and silver
production plastic
meals jam packed
or all alone
sipping tea
or whiskey
the waves of a storm
crashing the beaches
of souls
like revelers
absorbing passion
the coins on the platter
the money crumpled
a voyage of origami
fate
like the hands stiff
touch silk smooth
come late

basketcase league
gambits
like bad habits
pockets of stash
the ego hyphenated
with its black
static slash

i found your jar of
notes in the precious
treasures
like hot autumnal
sun now I share
in winters grip
with a smile
curled at one
corner
biting my lip

my skies are grey
and my sun
tangerine
I lived ur life
the once rose
colored dream
the twins of
odd
writing tags
of desire
photographs
from Chesire!

imagery is very lovely and tender

thanks...funny because the descripts are not the focus
of "tnder" in an idealized mode of...
lovely....
missing a lot...I love thee
or my sunshine kind of feel
to it...
lately Im numbed out and bitter and more
angrier then usual
followed by moments of strange joy
the bi-polar
lifes big crunch
just another refraction to the great reflection

why the muse come about me when Im exhausted
tired look and feel like shit is beyond me
stinking in need of a shower and run the routes
pushing sleepless hours
perhaps my guard is down

I used to buy flowers
I used too send cards
I wrote long handwritten letters
but then got burned a few times
but then..Im often nasty!
so karma is a bitch!!

ouch^

but I keep cranking out works
because its all a part of how I survive
and keep going...

it is about Love though and
the tenderness came and went
beneath my barnacled busted
career as a fakir
I do exist
therefore I can

its just so rare...

thank U..your works I extremely
find fascinating
u have shed light in a perspective
on the origin of this particular poem
