SETTING THE STAGE TO TAKE THE BAIT
Tuned to a flat That I found to be sharp I cried out in pain As my angel strummed her harp In the morning my love Freed from her cello Played me for a fool As I played with my jello Call me if you can, for I hear you’ve been found sane, And the games we played are now chic again; Call me if you...

FROM HERE TO THERE
Only an ocean of difference between us Only a river wider than space Only a falling star for our light Only a Chimera’s tail to chase There in the pale fog of yesterday’s dream Lies yet another fragment of forgotten goodbyes Only disguises, wolfish and lean Only false visions, in crystal balls shown...

A STUDY IN POSITIONS
Best me Test me Tease me Please me I ain’t so hot I ain’t so cold. When I’m on the spot I’m overbold. Best me Test me Tease me Please me You’re in too deep With the friends you keep You’ve got it bad Your world is mad Best me Test me Tease me Please me Have you been caressed? Have you been...

TRANSITIONS
The purple patch, an alpine meadow, lay before us like a mountain of metaphoric meaning: black became white, and green became red, as the hillside shone with a silver sheen. For the moment, white clouds above dappled the blue sky in an austere and august assembly of regal spectacle. And on we rode,...

They watched the sunset on the sea traced the flight of the western gulls; she held her lock; he turned the key; they were Madrid, while racing bulls! Throughout the night the...

GENERATION GAPACITY
Fluid and ephemeral as a soluble salient solution for a problem child; weathered and wild as his heart, beating vapid and voluble as a throbbing tom-tom; tepid as a torn tunesmith’s lyric: I’ll not soon find the riddle to this confidence game! He sent me into deep space on a mission of mind, far...

RESTUARY
The tides ripple into the river of my dreams In this restuary… I await your arrival Confident of your autumn dignity, Which envelopes me like a snowstorm, Enfolds me like a blanket of white down, Mutes me with somnolent music. “Oh, oh, oh… that ineffable fragment of song!” Long may it linger in the...

A New Sonnet: On Death
Death dies daily wending its weary way down to a deserted grave of sullen earth: hear her echoed pitiful cries, I say, see her pale, waning face devoid of mirth sobbing as she realizes nothing she laboured to gain ever came to aught; because of all those years of unceasing treachery and theft, she...

QUEEN OF THE DAMNED
Queen of the damned, Mistress of night’s skies, Treading o’er the moonless clouds of grey; Idle and wanton, with restless fiery eyes: Who could be blamed For turning your way? Dauntless and demure, Brazen and impure, Coy and full of craft that witches burn for; Your heart is lava yearning With...
