Don’t Look for Me

Don’t look for me Where you found me last I was there You were not Look for me Where you wish to be There I will stand Waiting for you to arrive

2000 Followers / Desert Flower

2000 Followers / Desert Flower The Dahlia, open blooming Far from Africa’s dusty plains. Bawdy songs float through the day’s rain. Sphallolalia – wink and cry. Pancakes, breakfast in bed, sorry. Apology not accepted. Circumlocution keeps us bound, A big toe in a direct stream. Incandescently glowing love, Shadows blind our eyes to flaws seen.Continue reading “2000 Followers / Desert Flower”

Reopening

They’re almost there Zombies trapped inside They’re at the door Looking to go outside Will they create chaos Or will they wear their masks? Safe from their spittle filled bites Creatures of the night Longing to play in the day Who will get their way? Almost time … again.

There’s always one, Eyes set towards the sun, Ready to burn, Embracing the blindness, And lead others forth; Into they chasm, The abyss of ignorance, Whistling a happy tune, Smiles on the way to doom. I wave at them as they pass Hoping they don’t seek To drag me down with them. Image byContinue reading “Happy Reaper”

Walk in the Night

I like to walk into the night, To listen to the silence, See the darkness as it surrounds me. I watch as nocturnal creatures Scurry and run, Avoiding the light and it’s damning luminosity. I walk alone in the night Nobody walks beside me Regaling me with their activities of the day, Thrusting opinions unaskedContinue reading “Walk in the Night”

Juxtapose / Just Suppose

Side by side all on the table, Consider what the offer is. A joint effort of harmonic bliss, Coordinated syncopation. You and I could be like this, If you would take up my offer Sign on the invisible line, With ink of a different nature. It’s a juxtapose, just suppose, A riddle and a mysteryContinue reading “Juxtapose / Just Suppose”

The Liquid of Life Flowing through the rivers inside us allAll of those consideredContinue reading “Blood Imagery”
