grief & celebration


caring mother
lonely heart
wishes for peace
a son's relationship
torn apart

soul to keep
a breathe of life to start
beauty to days
a true form of art

come-hither part II

come-hither
my sweet
my loins
are tempted

the mood
an arrogance
of satisfaction
the anticipation itching
your thighs on my thighs
legs pirouetting

intimate tango
on panoramic
so come-hither
my love
my loins
are tempted

in the mud

today i had moments of vulnerability
lost in depression
my self esteem
like mash
my pride tested
outer smile bronzed
i take a deep breath
the results swallowed
in stride

the pretty



where will i be
without the pretty
where would the simple be
without the difficult
will i be lost
like an episode of lost
will the pretty
still be there

will the pretty
still be there
when the shoes run out
when my make-up dries
when the dresses run thicker & longer
will the pretty
still be there

will i be able
to keep the pretty
from losing its sin
will the pretty
be the benefactor
will this pretty
still be there

talia, apache princess


a wee talent
in a young shell
becomes a rose

lovely she is
sweet as a date
her adorable
smile travels great

a swim meet with sharks

cold blooded
butterflies with gills
beyond the horizon
black tips mako
lemons in a pen

water bubble hearts
rise in temperature
the sunlight
piercing through

long shadows
of speed and stroke
a rippling tube for
many hope
the finish line

tessie

a dog bark
in a sound
of a tenor
sings over
the ocean waves

high tide twilight
moon beams glow
at which music notes feel

her bite heavy
vanishing
in tone
