Webs on the Christmas Tree

There was a lady who lived next doorFrom a town in Ukraine bornWho every year for the Christmas seasonPut spiders and webs her tree inWhat a strange lady I did thinkThat there might be a meaning I did not linkThen one day when we did cross pathsI thought to askWhy the spiders and webs IContinue reading “Webs on the Christmas Tree”

Zero: The Absence Of

Zero: the absence of.And I got zero problem with that,99 problems but zero ain’t one.Zero ain’t alone,It’s infinite in its emptiness.Ain’t got nobody And we’re together in that,Got zero use for foolishness,An intolerance.ZaggedEdgesReachOblivion This is for a prompt by dVerse: Write a quadrille with zero. Hope you enjoy!

Singly #1

Boxed Out

LimitedHandcuffed to a limit I never agreed withNarrow viewOf a specific group I don’t knowBoughtAnd sold to a man with no soulI can’t standNor can I sit by, Running to a crowded exitAll your X’sand O’s mean nothingNow that you’ve boxed me in. Just One Kiss She was at a bar alone. Guy approaches andContinue reading “Boxed Out”

So This is Laughter

Joy radiates in sounds like chokingShort breaths barked out Like dogs looking at their own reflectionSo this is laughter?Appreciation of a taleTold through embarrassment That I share A coupled uncomfortableness that brings a smileSo Thisis laughterThe sound a baby makes when happyOr is that just gas?Giggles but louder, longer, Unabashed in glee, unashamed in enjoymentSo?Continue reading “So This is Laughter”

Not A Moment Too Soon

A Random Kind of Love

I spoke to you with words unspoken.You replied in tears, wet and full of meaning.I pulled you into my arms to hold your face to my chest.You screamed and melted into my embrace.Our arms around each other, heartbeats separated by time & space.I looked into your eyes and lost myself.You looked into my heart andContinue reading “A Random Kind of Love”

Where the Wolf?

I transform in the presence of her full moonHowl like a wild animalI’ll be back on my knees soonThe only thing that is sensibleThough some think it terribleThe transformed beast I becomeI never worry about the thoughts of the sumThere is only one for whom I yearnHeavenly cherubimMy moonlit angel for whom I turn FurryContinue reading “Where the Wolf?”
