If it's beauty that we're after
It's in the love and laughter
Of playing children
Flowers, pets
In hugs and smiles
The sun that sets
All free and widespread
Heaven bound
In parks and . . . more

pure evil
that painted
whore
in our bed
her children, bound to ours
that dark night, your soul
thrashes upon a sea of unknowing
your black soul cries misery
upon your bones wracked in pain
now
your torment-knotted . . . more

This afternoon I watched
a lemon-faced drunk,
slump into a daily stupor,
no doubt fatigued from
his own radiance.
Under his high swelter,
two pie-faced
girls with braided
antennae and jean
clad . . . more

His breathing; fast
Head resting on the floor
His whiskers; white
Purrs; waiting at the door
With his paws he hugs me
With his eyes he loves me
Trusting with his life, his soul
At heart . . . more

In the self another self
An eye that merely observes
Like a camera catches a pose
It doesn't judge it only shows
In the self another self
A lover reaching out . . . more

My obituary will read
that I always laid
stark in the dark
mooning the night;
the epitaph will interpret
my soul as a barren,
menopausal womb,
hysterectomised
by a deity's shaky hand.

Bigger, better, more beautiful than ever,
The box suggests.
It's simply irresistible
I lift the lid on Pandora's box
And let loose my misery
And my curiosity with the mundane
There, laying . . . more

My Osiris,
My water God
Love of my past life
Love of my last life.
I am the star of your sea
Your stella maris
Your Isis

pour the pain from an empty vase
and lets Loves light touch our face
how is that one cannot see what lies before him
and how is it then that he can see when its no longer for him

There is nothing more difficult
than to interrogate
my own psyche;
perform an introspective
autopsy, dissect
every hidden niche
of my soul.
I scalpel through tendons
of consciousness . . . more

Powerless and helpless
So tired, on the ground
I should have stopped this long ago
In fact, was duty bound
Now in this shadow
Hiding
Been burnt by the same sun
I once befriended . . . more

True love is all about ups and downs,
Where two hearts are one, true love abounds.
Still, where two hearts are truely one twine,
Ups and downs do often give a shine,
About who is wrong . . . more

Bitter-almond mornings
spew poison
People crush my spirit
Fragmented woman
clawing her eyes out
So when they ask me
why I never
leave this room, I tell
them nothing. . .

I was trying to write a 100 word story on my biggest regret... as you can see, it's not a story, and it's more than 100 words... so... I think I failed this one...

confounded and quaking
seeing before him
nightmare of his making
appear with a swiftness
that left him listless
he wanted to scream
While they were walking

NONE BUT FAMINE CAN LAY ME OUT
When the earthquake breaks, it loosens my burden
When the volcano blows, it releases my fire
When the flood waters flow, it cleanses my soul
When the hurricane turns, . . . more

SWALLOWED BY SEA
Body dove for the waters
Eyes took to the tide
Sweet bubbles of breath
All swallowed by sea
But, o-ooh, would the salts, play as hemlock to me
All turmoil and thunder . . . more
