Sluggish
a caramel bug
of scorpion pods
abdominal sections
twisting nods
claws of a crab
thorax of crispness
a crunchy sound
from shoes impress
juicy sacs
that pop in a snap
leaving a mess
on grounds wet lap
legs like plate stands
reflecting swirls of light
from transluscent exoskeleton
and teeth that bite

The Mystery of the Chinese Lamp
Red silk disguising blood
The lampshade murder
fringed in taunt
embossed in mystery
a gilded clue that flaunts
a detectives scud
comb on comb
softly entangled, sedate
on the vanity plate
smudgeless and calm
domed with Kublai’s crown
a prism like dungeon
blinding the truth
inviting a sleuth
to detect in sniff
an evenings whiff
conjures the opium
for dens of thieves
that deceit retrieves

BETRAYAL
betrayal a difficult gauge
hidden often, no rage
it comes in forms
so hard to decode
but hurts the most
when shrewd and bowed
friends white lies
to hide true feeling
end up destroying
respect in stealing
frankness and honesty
a girder of friendship
for lasting brotherhood
and opposite blendship
prolonged in mystery
a painful jab
waiting for answer
that appears later on slab
so most important
to clear the air
have faith in your heart
and instincts flair

The Mystery of the Chinese Lamp Part 2
Detective Chan
Stands upright
Absorbing sounds
That are quiet and slight
And then he detects
Zephyrs and odors
strangely balanced
in perfumous effects
everything still
to perfect in calm
exacting placements
suspicious in chill
fingerprints concealed
threads unfound
but shiny plate
is a clue revealed
the shine and fine streak
could only reflect
the use of a chamois
of particular sect
on lamp detected
a symbol of hate
and spite of wealth 
for Chan to conflate

Two-Way Hinge
Doors can be walls
Don’t come in
Signs of rebuke
And pending sin
Sometimes are locked
In suspicious blame
Implying dislike
which imposes shame
embarrassing noises
come from inside
groans and moans
recommended to hide
other doors demark nobility
statuesque and high
pedaments and sidelights
glorious reply
inviting us to enter
confidence abound
loyal doormen open
to mammoth organ sounds
so aperatures, are watch we choose
entranceways or barricades
slammed or open gently
hospitality and accolades

Moving
What a pain in the ass
Just when you think
You have a home
Someone screws you
…kicks you out
en masse
so you look and look
places are crap
dumps and dives
puny rooms
overpriced haunts
no room to cook
too far from town
if you’re a walker that is
no bicycle lanes
or markets nearby
and lots of noise
to make me frown
so I soldier on
knowing the end
something will arise
that conjures a smile
a new place to live
with a private john!

Pencilled In
Starring wishes
A dancing flourish
recital of feet
confidence nourished
Erasing fright
staged in courage
an energy forage
lead in savvy
stucco rooms
plastered in tradition
Isadora’s scarves
flowing in audition
penciled inscription
a figurine in river
more image to endorse
sensuous to deliver

Jean-Baptiste Greuze
a royal Academic
a historical brush
swipes of mythology and allegory
Revolutionary
Returning to nature
joining Rousseau's philosophical haft
artificiality rebuked
civilized expression in craft
alluring air of health and youth
sensuous attractions
framing bourgeois morality
portrait of character in depth
concern and rebellion
Young girl with blue ribbon
cheeks of worry
red-haired fury
a young mathematician
penned in preeminence
Stroganov as a Child
visual transcendence

Odyssette
warning from sorceress
mermaids encircling
words of Odyssey
sirens of songs impure
ballisitic torture
tied to mast
wings of sparrows
and bosoms of lure
puckered seduction
nose in rejection
scaled hair
and tong-like hands
rainbow journey
from crown to tail
blues eyes coated
in waters silk bands
swimming in flash
a sailors fear
rowing in escape
from enchantress drone
the legend lives
hanging to bow
the oars are snapping
like memories bone

I'll never go back....
the food was cold
and waitress so bold
banging plates
not worth the wait
stale bun
steak overdone
salad was brown
that made me frown
I was hoping the coffee
wasn't as thick as toffee
so I decided to tip
with a penny to flip
sarcastic reaction
a bonus of fraction
on my way out
she threw me the doubt
I just laughed in scorn
never to return...no mourn

THIN SKINNED
thin skinned
is kind of gross
transparent layer
to see inside
organic mess
blood and vessels
glands and tissue
going on an autonomic ride
bones and inner bruises
arthritic sections
a liver to scorn
and heart that stutters
sanguine fluid
maybe blue, for all I know
not all that attractive
as my old heart mutters
DeaBeePea 2-2-15
Surveillance
1984
I read it in audience
shocked and derailed
almost in shackles
feeling imprisoned
cold and naked
looking over
my shoulder in fear
reaching for space
a place to run
sky falling down
perspective undone
now to my anger
I see it before me
a piercing eye
raping my soul
a wealthy invasion
dollars and guns
my freedom is gone
my heart in tears
DeaBeePea 2-1-15
Optional?
sometimes we feel
black and white
a newspaper of war
or old movie of love
fight or surrender
commit or resist
no chance to win
nothing seems right
we must have courage
and recognize license
we do have options
to avoid personal blight
differentiate between
obligation and want
be selfish at times
to fulfill inner vaunt
what is truly good
for us and plan
is good for others
and their dreams that can

Triangular World
exploration of glass
as fifteen sails
search for utopia
avoiding gales
the palm tree borealis
and symmetrical waves
invite Christophers ships
and two mystic braves
the contoured cirques
point to the west
through red streaked mountains
and black tipped quests
the golden shadows
a ominous message
from the setting sun
a burning presage
no word of shape
flat, round or three sided
the new world as blue
as Isabella's ring so guided
DeaBeePea 1-30-15
Strange Clouds
a kaleidoscope
and aggregate
a collage of fluff
black, purple, orange
a hideous rainbow
speaking gruff
soft and spongy
but course and sharp
moving in jerks
bangs and crackles
rattling windows
effect of dirks
frightening to all
a message from above
making us ponder
being told
miracles to honour
and universe to wonder
