the day is coming, recognise it, to hold it and love it.

not long left to wait, all you young women and children

your men fight the battles that eliminate your troubles and woes

they fight right here and right now

yes the day is coming. just to turn to night again. you must love it while its here

it is these men who set the rules and fight the fights. they're the ones You chose

Chateau de Moutarde in highbrow lettering. 

Fancy fine place, stately purple neon

serves a royal reputation and a fancy fine price.

 

A penguin with a rat ‘stache and bow tie.

Hand him a Hamilton in the shake and say,

“Near a window.”

 

Indication of class required for all diners.

Mine, cigarette smoke moth closet loaner,

he said, “This should suit your dapper denims.”

Nihilist's Tea

Of course I take mine with sugar

But the children and ants got in the bowl.

So perhaps a squeeze of lemon

If I do not have to share with Karl or Leo or Sigmund.

Rather tired of the petit fours,

Those little sticky-sick boxes used to put everyone into.

I've lost my shoe and my butter and my sympathy

And I much rather sit and watch the dollhouse burn.

Ah, I am grateful that I do not have to settle among the limited

For I am the stuff of dreams, of tarts, of spoons.

When you drive with me, I am most content

When you drive with me, I am most content
I stare out the passenger seat, and
It’s like you are introducing to me the world
No matter how (supposedly) familiar the sights, the turns, the roads.

My favorite moment is when the sun’s
Shining through the trees
And there is a pause, like this happy sigh of silence
And there we are, perfectly enveloped, a golden luminescence.

JUICES FLOW (erotic)

Two glasses half full with Hennessy, ash tray with half smoked herbal remedy, two bodies lay together as nature intended it to be, sex fills the air, sweat runs of ebony skin, he explores her body, kisses her neck, lingers and takes in her scent, runs his beautiful lips over her ebony breast, her nipples harden as his mouth devours them hungrily, taste touch caresses. Takes his time until he feels her body tingle, she pulls on him, wraps her legs around him, his touch feels so sweet, she’s  finding it hard to control the release that is bubbling. He moves further down lingers at her navel, takes some ice rubs it over  harden nipples  all the way down, he replaces the ice with his  tongue , kisses and licks  lower and lower, he tastes how turned on she is , teases her ,until she cannot even keep still, his tongue adds to the wetness , what  he does with fingers is  dangerous. She stops him climbs on top, kisses and nibbles his ears , traces her tongue over his beautiful ebony torso, he feels her breast surround his  swelling  manhood, bodies slamming,  pleasure echoing almost drowning out the R n B playing,  room steaming,  juices over flow.

Wet Shadows

How will life soar without another heart?

As this lonely one flies over Manhattan Park

Love of orange seizes winter leaves from fall

In flight of his duty no answer calls

The perfect life sound can never begin

As the albatross flies over empty oceans

Forever in flight weakens his load

Where shall love land on wings so alone

On islands of stink in the white seagull snow?

Even for love he has chosen no!

to rephrase a time and to retake a moment

its a difficult practice even with insurance

so we made the most of this hour

to instill happiness and sweat into our minds and bodies

as aposed to the trouble that does come from

nerve wretching worry.

we enjoyed this mass of seconds 

deep in the sport of and passion of love making

With a slightly waxed appeal,

The shiny purple and white cover gleam at me with excitement.

 

Pick me up!

 

And I reach behind the display blocking my treasure,

And grasp the shiny silver spiral.

Trapped within the narrows
between yesterday
and tomorrow
I ponder the next step.

The path before me,
reminiscent of Frost’s,
offers choices with
its directions.

Yesterday’s sadness sends
fingers to intertwine
with mine, to pull me
into the known path of destruction.

The mantra of survival circles through my head
as I practice breathing:
in, out, deeper, longer.

I search for strength that hides in the vestiges of my pride,
in hopes it will carry me through
another sleepless night.

The man who once walked beside me has lost significance,
but the emptiness that remains screams its presence
in the night’s dark silence.

I fight the flight of my mind, the flutter of bended lashes-
The trouble of overthinking every step of any regard-
For I think with my toes against the concrete,
Forever forward I follow the overwhelming fire-
The one that burns, It claws its way from the depth
Of secret nights, of shared fantasy, of forbidden fruit,
The long bat of the eyelid that remains ever open,
The generic trance, the livid contraception of sinful wiles,
Keeps me always the voyeur to the settling of dust,
The calm that captivates the satiated,
The queer myth of internal peace-

Lying on the Ground Looking Up

Sometimes I'm a fallen leaf-
From the branches of the family tree-
I dont want to lie here looking up,
I'm tired of being on the outside gazing in-
I'm tired of being the mistake
Im tired of feeling broken and plagued-
I dont wanna feel the need to be accepted anymore-
I dont wanna see the depth of my misjudgement anymore-
I dont wanna feel like this,
I dont wanna be like this-
I dont wanna end like this.
