Energies Amore

A practical label; for the time and the place

That surrounds the beautiful cusps of sleep

Around the time of awakening

Again today such stirrings

Collaborations of line and image, half sounds

Forces, exuberance; sense of a distillation process

Unable to fathom, unable either to entirely recapture

Instead to write of trees and grapes, of soft warm skin

Heavens scent, chased wildly through open vineyards

This poem is from the collection 

EP

Soon as you rise, so soon you begin to fade

The veil is drawn, drawn for self protection

In the pre-existence of the grey-green leaf

There was the rich soil & volumes of water

Let then the thief be taken by jade; runes

Of our own insistence; to escape detection

This poem is from the collection 

Two-Handed Shuffle

A night of cards

Old rules, once forgotten

Brought easily back to life

A clear leader emerges

He succeeds, despite the wilful

Acts of his friends & compatriots

This poem is from the collection 

Splash

Half dark, half light

Enough of doubt

For your silhouette

To dance, unknowingly

Through the shadows

This poem is from the collection 

Black and White

The arched palm sways; again it says I am triumphant

As if, within itself, it has found the very essence of flexibility

Such as aimed at by architects 

& constructors of the worlds finest

Bridges & most modernist recreational houses

Messages, airborne communications, indiscernible

To the discerning holidaymaker

Late afternoon; altogether warm

A wind that whistles

As though thoroughly broken teeth

The mosquito follows its own unique & clearly

Discernible, rite of passage

A wind that crosses itself

As though a fresh new pop star

On that Apple Studios zebra crossing

What then the consequences of an all out attack

On the inflexible sources of irritation

This poem is from the collection
