TRUE LOVE
Enticing, inviting, sweet as a pear, alluring, ensconcing, like wine on tongues touching through lips locked so firmly to share an embrace: of such are soft supple thongs that bind us now each to each; thighs, too, joined in a moist firm grip and groove, undulate proving love, given and taken: as...

LUST
Crux of inner angst is bodily lust that eats away at the soul and spirit, fueled by desire, a fiery climate whose humid sensuality must gust, as it invites with a grind and a thrust to the feast as rough as a firm velvet undergarment that chaffs in the secret closet of the innermost being. Rust,...

ARE YOU READY YETI?
Set it down… Your thought On life… Or, like a weight, It will drag You Under. Blunder on Through all Your strife, And like a great Wild shaggy Monster Expect to be Hunted For your Fur. And Learn evasive Strategies. But, Above all, Fight the alien Within; for to give in at once to his suspicion is to...

ON NONCONFORMITY
An estuary apart from the ordinary pull And push of the world is found in my mind At that juncture where my thoughts puddle to pools, And my memories loose themselves like birds Freed from their cages, flying; flaunting freedom In their flight. But in the belly down below An ancient blaze burdens me...

FATHER MAY I...
I wish I may, I wish I might be here, be there, be everywhere. And on some night so rich, so right, win all the hearts so bright. To make it cut, to keep it clear, mirror each and every single jeer with a cheer. To make it bite, and pure as white, despite how loose the fit, lift the wrong from the...

DIE-T
My girth grows greater, surpassing display. Like a planet, I will circle the sun one day soon, and then my own course I’ll run until some meteor veers in my way. When, limping like a wounded hare I stray from my regular orbit, the real fun will have gone out of my tale so homespun, size will no...

THE LUDDITES' SONNET
Created by idiots, designed by dolts, crude and ill-suited to this EM Field, you stand and demand that all to you yield, although you are no more than nuts and bolts fused by a mesh of wires that send volts of EMF through your CPU. Shield us from the radiation that you wield like a weapon (though we...

SET FREE FROM A MOUNTAIN OF FEAR!
Upon a mountain top I struggled vain, and then at once I realized that you would never fail to love me, love me true, would never fail to ease my anguished pain. So many peaks to scale and once again my brain is bruised and broken through and through, as though some hellish torture’s manic screw had...

MEDIOCRITY: A PRELUDE
The world is going to hell in a hand basket. Editing, soon to be a lost art, now simply turns a blind eye to bland rhetoric and clichéd prose. At what cost does such mediocrity come? To whom ought we to turn in these troubled times? If we look to the ancients and exhume their literary gems, we may...

MEDIOCRITY (DAMN THAT 10-SYLLABLE LINE!)
I’ll get by, I always have, so don’t sweat it. So what if I’m always late for my appointment? The world won’t fall apart if I don’t make it. If I could do it I’d try, but I just can’t. It’s useless to push myself too hard. Ten syllables per line is impossible. Nine or eleven will be hard enough to...

HIDEOUS!
Shield me from your sight on this night you fright. Hideous creature! Unholy nature has unleashed its fury to do you spite. Could love find its way into your impure heart? My mangled verses are an homage to what your public must surely revile. Dare to remake man in your own image, and you will set...

TIME TRAVELS
Sweep me along adrift in your vortex up to your epicenter so fluid and fine. Whirl me about as you fret and you vex the nerves in my body, a bested design. Capillary dimensions so vast and so free innumerable in space and in time boggle the mind, and I know you agree: this revelation is also...

SLEUTHS
Centered on the page is a title left to say just what it is not certain—that’s for sure— about the poem left in question; pure speculation is what we have today, aided and abetted by the shades of grey, meanings left as vague as an untried cure, as clearly worded as they are obscure, as rich in...

BIRDS OF PREY
Pale bright blue sky shines above the old earth. Circling gulls from great heights, eagles higher, soar aloft within their rhythmic choir, lifting their voices for all that they’re worth, those searching eyes wandering to and forth, and those airborne wings that seldom tire, above the steely talons...

PAUSE ETCHED IN ICE
Cold fall, leafless trees, wintertime noonday, I’ve just awakened, and coffee’s almost ready; still in my robe, I reach for toast, grab the milk, see what the news man will say, think about flowers that will bloom in May, about why the mayor has reason to boast, and about the snow outside, falling...

SUMMER HEAT
Shadows long enough to reach with a rake stretch outwards just beyond our best long reach; clouds block the sun now and I could still preach that sermon about the nun on the take, if it weren’t for the calm wind on the lake that invites me to walk out on the beach. You tease me about that big ugly...

REALMS OF DREAMS
In the land beyond time, in the dream realm, the best way to travel is by blinking, winking, snapping fingers, even shrinking; rudderless, with no captain at the helm, fearless and feckless, bent upon the calm; thought unto thought, with each person linking, poor transforms to rich, and I mean...

A textual life
This is the text that I would have you see beneath the subtext that sets our souls free! A heart beats full of love for you and me, mountains of time embrace eternity, stretching towards the stars in night’s fine sea, my spirit cries out, I’m a casualty; tonight is an apt one for destiny to call...

FAITH
FAITH Guardian of my soul who reigns on high and fills the hearts of those who seek Your Face with such great peace and love and joy and grace, hidden in mystery, though man may try to find the key to the riddle of why he must now walk this lonely path and trace the trails he travels at such a slow...

TRUCE??
Left alone like a child's toy discarded on a whim; spent like an old dollar bill. Cast aside and scorned like some retarded old monkey; forged like a contested will: I have long felt this way, and not known what to do; misunderstood like a word misspelled; feigned like some interest that won't...

OH CANADA!!!! OH CAN A DUH! BE FOUND...
Oh Canada, Oh Canada, Oh Can a "duh!" be found, standing truly strong, let's just stop and check the "sound"! The Hip's on stage, they're all the rage, and Downy he sounds mean, Oh Canada, Oh can the "duh!" strike a chord, we're squeaky clean! The queen's on hand, I'll strike the band, I'm a lean,...

Tee Time to Die Like American Pie
Tee Time to Die Like American Pie Dealt death like fatal losing hangman's hands which looked for moments like a winning pair, I turned in my gold pot at the rainbow's bands, climbed upon Rapunzel's blonde hair so fair, checked for a heart beat in the Tin Man's breast, rode the rodeo in the Space...
