Two Such Loves as Mine

Two such loves as mine, Shapely and divine, Could never end my quest For a sunrise in the west. Two such loves as mine, For whom I long and pine, Could never tame my lust For power and for trust. Two such loves as mine, As fine as red, red wine, Could never slake my thirst Could not my bubble burst.... Sign in to see full entry.

A BINOMIOTIC RELATIONSHIP

Intelligential Artifice “Welcome to the carnival,” he says as she enters. “Down in front!” a bass voice bellows. The sign at the side of the stage contains two lines: There are built-in design flaws. They guarantee latent obsolescence. “Don’t be insolent!” she snaps. “Put up or shut up! I’ve got a... Sign in to see full entry.

Will Wall

Your lips are pursed, a sentence parsed passes through them and I feel what it is to touch your hem and haw at jests we’ve played upon the rest, who were delayed in pregnant pause beyond the pale. If I failed to fall for you after you felled me with a fatal shot, the reason is that debts unpaid came... Sign in to see full entry.

Sir Eel

Art thou silk or sow? Purse or ear? Champagne or beer? The subtle thief returns a new leaf before outdated norms become overdue; truer words seldom heard may sound more or less absurd, but in the state of ooze that passes for the one you choose the glass is bent through which you look. Half full,... Sign in to see full entry.

Too Late, Too Cruel

I pan for gold And lose my head; Like a poor lost soul I am misled. The day goes by, The night comes on, A wild wolf’s cry Haunts my dawn. I wake with sweat Upon my face. I lost the bet I am disgraced. Too late the heat Of noon arose. Too cruel the beat Of my heart’s woes That on the wreath Of dull... Sign in to see full entry.

One Sighs--All Fits!

If you thought of love As a gift from above, Inner space beckons To you from your heart. If your head reckons That this word is false, Then when push comes to shove Don’t depart! Keep it together No matter whatever Your clever wit Makes you decide. The white owls that fly Through a moonlit night sky... Sign in to see full entry.

From Here to Maturity

Let’s cut the rug I made the grade Shoulders shrug As music fades We graduated We have it made We sublimated In the shade The sun is up The heat is on Let’s fill our cup Until it’s run Over, spilling On the floor They’ll be crying Out for more The dust The car The rust The war I wrestle My hate...

Cycles

y Life goes by and back it comes. In cycles, round and round it hums. We are cogs in some great wheel. Cogitate upon the reel: Moving pictures mimic life. Strummed steel guitars speak of strife. Cadences of quiet talks and the rhythms of restless walks, feed the soul and form the mind like Braille... Sign in to see full entry.

THE MAGI: AN UNBEARABLE PARABLE

Motionless on the stair, he reached up into thin air and caught a thankless pair of rabbits, furry, white, and fair! These Magi play at games throughout the day; they raise flesh out of clay, and much to my dismay they say that human’s die because they always lie; that’s right I cry, and wonder why...
