I'd like this poetry book to be a reminder of where my thoughts reside, when I'm on my high . . . with this in the can, it's eleven books this year. 2023 has been rewarding.
I wonder what your desires are
if they are unlike the hour
does your bother include any other
outside of the once ousted spats?
in the free form of things
I see you’re not just a princess
but I hitch that to what else?
what swathes this beauty that impress?
could it be a quintuple to let go too intense?
often this is my invest
evaluating how must they contest?
If I had my own kids store
I wouldn’t know how to give enough
every day ‘d be a showcasing gore
kids by windows, babies inching up
I’d file poor parenting reports
soon poor parents would be gone
but not by this door
every home grieving toys
I would have pleased the bore
they’d be my Halloween crop.
I thought today was intact
... one of those days of impasse
but when I rose to sleep, give thanks
I noticed nothing in the distance
to sleep; to dream of dud ads
as if a first time, I had your hands
and I didn’t want that other land.
When the dizzy gust patted my back
I turned to catch his past
but in his mirror I was in your arms.
A SOS for poets
ends with a row of guests
all sobriquet-owned dressed
the well-known exempted
that’s patron mo Earth
her disguise grown fret.
I have flossed the albatross
made the crass hazard bronze
perchance if you find no worms
perhaps it’s the livery of your love.
The bent on beginning
isn’t at all the half hemming
in fact, it’s a seamstress hireling.
The house next door
has a new pour
arousing none
only eyes of worth.
Since we got poor
ours and our reflection
... the drought in assault.
If I saw a kindergarten smile
I’d match my entire hide
but without having to give pride
not to display — away, I haven’t a night.
Prescient
is this living space.
Eyelets
often awful detail lace.
Unkept
the scruple from the gad shade.
Withheld
even with the holy shapes.
I wept
a jejune drape.
To forget
his heightened loss of grapes.
Inviting insisting
to drinking the distilled
however clean isn’t wellie.
He has my waist.
And she has my taste.
It’s been his futon.
Sward supine was shunt.
Man, you have me frazzled.
Deflecting to reflect.
In effect
this faith’s silence
panting of the end;
ditto within exigence.
Do I meet the princess
for you to furl our affected
or whine in a recherché desi hotel
make my love internment salted?
I used to know an old pride
wending feeling of a fighting child
've a response to the questioning tide
but not by the hawser of this day's sunrise
Isn't it this eyes that I've lied
wishing the tenebrous at this time
Have it, the by-line of one who benights
for when it's dark, I paw it doesn't hitchhike
I met a friend in the eve's height
blue moon ago in a bond past twilight
he's showed up this morn when he'd recline
with encomiast words, unguent for golden lice
It’s a map to nowhere;
wearing cartographer’s mess
boundary abutting heaven and poems
going from being by an alien titfer or a resident
en passant, the oneiric is the bounder’s lone legend
he’s by the painted wall, seen adjusting over again his lens.
My first big purchase
it’s probably this big chase
so one night, I’ll feel alive from loins to waist
how I afforded the soliloquies that put me in fame
or could it be of my natural parents when I first came?
Life is filled with expenses, what do you entertain?
I arrived but not before painting the door, saying I’m incarnate.
Sleeping berry, what now do you choose to attain?
Come let’s go give that one, love, she’ll forever appreciate.
We were kewpie dolls
it was heaven and more
our green sole love of law
what remains up this young
when suddenly, odd-abrupt
you ‘d some floral clothing on
ridge of my imagination
thrusting me its divorce
foo, bar, it was obvious
ought in the amorphous
staring for my exile nod
only a baited swain now.
There isn't much time
open your missing eyes
even thawed snow sighs
a ferris wheel like smiles
all dumplings miss ye spine
showing countenance to try
it was on hay and in sunshine.
Big on this . . .
I’m by a ravine
what else is written?
His greed was eating
taking up leaving
even in its evening . . .
death, it’s emptying.
Once, a palindrome heart melted
with her milk now a wholly fermented
her darling was by for his usual request
his tongue lapped, slapped twitterpated
and all everyone said, and too, give comment
was "oh you got . . . oh yogurt . . ." a new idiolect
he'd absolute; thoroughly ignorant of what meant
but he didn’t need his mum telling him: catch a breath
he was sure he’d loved many a cows, but alas, threshed.
He had always loved her breast
not just hers, he enjoyed opulence
but he couldn’t hold a peace reticent
he needed style, the baton by nutrients
everyone ever chanting their “yogurt” beset.
Her heart soon lost its shapelessness
he thought it petrified, somehow useless
but to not mock himself, he was circumspect
when nada changed, drought seasons hapless
he asked her what’d changed; you became my ex.
An old box of shoe
has a hunch haling troop
it's one of a group
of the old match-dupes
I met Kylie's sweet-tooths
since our do-penny brook
now I wuss out a glint, a dude
telling everyone I'm roomed
seated worst side for a book
not for any ol' reading groom
if he's selling me a boot truth
A big thank you to those who make me do what I do, never letting me give up, with tough love, and tender care. Your love will take me to Mars and back. We've hit X y'all.
