incarnadine in shine
so dark and obscure
waiting to shrine
the hands dropping spoor
the path inclines
to hazy moors
as the asomatous flower
reveals it's dewed empower

Spherical Dreams
a pi of pie
one-third of circumference
big piece
but only start
no indifference
three pieces total
plus the crumbs
that are point one four
will there be more
licking thumbs
another whole one
in the box
made of peach
delicious breach
of key of lime
opening doors
in baking toil
of sweetness galore
and pan in foil
to make another
cherry I think
I'm on the brink

The Wrist
experiment
lifelong
a test
not right or wrong
attitude
handcuffs unlatched
appreciation
joy is hatched
vocalizing
our own refrain
no embarrassment
or mirrored pain
set forth
universal home
wings attired
through the dome
love perplexing
beyond our wrap
kissing the sky
roofless map
truth in chains
linked in orbit
gravitation lifted
to milky pit
free
and captured
by beauty
so raptured

NOTHING
past
present
and future
simultaneously
undefined dimension
of space and time
releasing now
our minds take-off
orbiting planetary pendulums
happening and becoming
suspended
but glued
with paste of haste
undivided solid reality
no separation
when given
undivided attention
life's
single existence
ideas or dreams
a convincing illusion
of time's reality
only to watch
I am a spaceship
whirling and whizzing
no control
I miss time
it laughs at me
blazing
hours, minutes, days, years
all the same
spendinf time to think
but answers guffaw
timelessness
colliding
with temporal mentality
our direction in space
birth, death, all the same
zero o'clock

Temptation
known as
point of focus
wishful thinking
or answers found
fuzzy above
cloudy below
so instinct tells me
clear and safe around
but the sun and wind
tell different parts
stories that meander
and dance through hearts
blowing and shining
and eyes can obscure
and ears can imagine
Hallowe'en mansions
rattling shutters
and slippery butters
tripping on path
so we camp, in wrath
but soon aware
the open door
invites adventure
on infinite floors
levels of sadness
and joyous quell
sky reaching trees
branches in freeze
our arms held high
perforating haze
horizon's collison
infinite maze

Side by Side
Interdimensional face
the doorway
framed astral world
far reaches of interstellar space
Alternate and parallel
The Ritual of the Portal
transformational experience
ancient alchemists bell
Fusing with beings of light
spiritual evolution
caroming beyond
in float of fantastic rite
The ascension
event tunneling
to electrostatic sensations
goose bumps in suspension
Quacking in silence
encircled quartz
speeding specks of dust
black lightning alliance
The heavy shadows jeer
giant Gossamer clouds
seeing within
visible fear

Study in Muller
raining in
arabic gum
inert material
oceans opaque
in historic Guazzo
thickening water
color of chalk
reflecting waves
altering in newness
drying on beach
to unknown hues
never matching
after sunset
En plein air
Turner and Lenser
and comic illustrations
frothy tips
fast and durable
unusual drops
on salty surface
cutting collage
silhouettes
of Nudes of Blue
lifting mattes
Decalcomania
surrealist labels
Domínguez like glass
surfing
in black gouache
portrait of Schwinge
shadowed on ringlets
pooled in Charity
Drifting
kissing Audrey
galleried Hepburn
slanting blues
and envious greeens
evaporating
mindless drenching
oblong magic
Amoebaic responses
a King's features,
Flash and Dagwood
a "Cockamamie" frame
wacky percieved
wisdom drawn
Aquapasto

silican mold

RISE
the sun is blowing
a force, splitting
clouds like arrows
light in reflected lasar
horizon, hitting
sky opening in birth
jarring my heart
piercing
in quiet power
awakening me, in start
joining life's reverent glow

Dark Enchantress
an autumn goddess
Medea perched, unshackled
leaves of fleece
so gold in cackle
dismembered beasts
snakes and dragons
surrounded by fire in flare
...breaths of her lair
evil surrenders untrue
to infinite blue
but lives through trickery
of beauty and temptation
masked in ornith
more eyes to pierce
and seduce in stare
stripped in glare
a branch of violet
decorations so dainty
and brilliantly bronzed
a healing strength of disquiet
purpose betwixt
braids dancing so twisted
to a devil's song
erotic blindness transfixed
the vixen aspires
as we gape and quiver
this beauty escapes
our romantic potion, a sliver
the return of vigor
with herbs of rigor
a newborn inspiration
blood sucked with deception
horrendous filicide
in equinox arrival
the death of sun
black snow has begun

Pallet of White
Galleried bare
corner so silent
sparse art flare
two words displayed
First and last
signed at bottom
empty room
no foliage like autumn
Simple frames
with varied sketches
cubes and dames
sports and splashes
Strips of brush
veneered floor grain
light and dark
vacant refrain
no wind or song
gasps or throng
tickets not sold
or afternoon gone
The paint enduring
strokes of pain
hearts so broken
an earless token
self-portraits stare
at a nothingness park
the benches none
and dreams afar
The haunts are stirring
ghost museum
passive swords
empty coliseum

Oblivious
The End
Unlocked
Initially hand in hand
loyalty and kindness communed
immersed in hazy sand
and slippery trees of dune
Grasp now a strand
as bewilderment is strewn
the shadows have asked
to uncover our mask

DEWSPOT
A face on the petal
an emotionless grin has bloomed
dark and still fettle
in sunless gloom
supreme in mettle
glancing in gentle spume
a flower of night
in sanguine plight

Heroine
dystopia
no utopia
the wealthy son
Maria the sun
wealthy industry
money ministry
towered high
above underground ply
machines for power
Frederson cowers
the pleasure garden
emotions harden
visit of children
viewing privilege den
underworld explodes
unconcerned modes
Thin man dispatched
to dungeon so thatched
trading clothes
as smoke upward flows
Maschinenmensch
made by wrench
Whore of Babylon
apocolypse forging Avalon
mediator salutes
intimidation disputes
murder of lust
forgotten trust
children deserted
as flood inserted
demise of nation

Prisoners of History
the empty halls
of terror past
not gone or forgotten
disgust so vast
removing enemies
ill-defined
dissecting people
of envious kind
extermination
a hideous song
the melody stops
the baton too long
overalls and badges
triangles of colour
a game to play
the blood becomes duller
final home of gas
the solution of hate
dehydration and cold
a tireless ending date
no need to study
it's with us in heart
as we cry huge tears
that tear us apart
but today we know
that inhumanity is snow
that falls on us
when our head turns slow
we walk down the halls
hand in hand in smile
hoping for peace
and love's black bile

Little Boy and the Automatic Brigantine Adventure
warm water and Tide
extra soap for effect
his little ship erect
with his fishies of gold
hurling and whirling
a Galleon dream
made so true
in washers gleam
agitated journey enfolds
the carp are diving
following the train
of waves contriving
to tell a story
of a Maytag Sailor
lonely in lost
endlessly tossed
the rope that ties
a thread of red
unyielding in spiral
never to be fed
docking seems hopeless
a tornado-like storm
only one solution
to quell this to norm
turn it off at the switch
for I am commander he calls
I have rounded the Cape
in victorious swell walls
his carp seem languid
and lifeless in hand
wonder who killed them
he thought sadness amid
the vessel is battered
and needs repair
the lid can be closed
tell of this, he dare?

The Slug in the Snail
the war proceeded
a travesty of Pulmonatic history
superior motive fills
the leaders of biomass and gills
the marine navy
challenging the land army
so slow in force
but seeing no recourse
diversified in apparatus
some gaining more status
the larger in biomass
having global aspiration
the ground force however
had sharp radula you see
which made them scrappy
when fighting snails of sea
it was quite a battle
high casualties were known
and injuries to shell
cracked to the bone
to finalize the fight
the ocean team got guns
new technology had entered
the world of molluscans
General Escar was hit
shot in the anus
a terrible place
actually quite heianous
the slug was removed
before critical sickness ensued
saved by a doctor
using garlic serum approved
he led them to victory
though nothing changed
occasional fracas
led them to posse comitatus
Old Age
Not sure what it is
Other than the fact
That I’ve been alive
A wee bit longer
Than I was yesterday
Not sure why I’m alive
Other than the fact
That I’m lucky
A wee bit more
Than I was yesterday
Not sure what’s coming up next
Other than the fact
That I might not be alive
or feeling good
Like I was yesterday
Not sure if I’ll remember things
Other than the fact
That someone will remember me
Which might be good, or bad
Depending on yesterday
Not sure about our world
Other than the fact
That if doesn’t shape up
I’ll be shipped out
Away from yesterday
Not sure about anything
Other than the fact
That my smile is genuine
And easier to hold
Even better than yesterday
