Mirrors & Bars

Beautiful people

City central vacation

Hair stylists, and beauty parlours

Food routines; for bodies

And soul brothers

---------------------

Plums à la tomate

Generation through generation

A spotted dress

Drinks from my coffee cup

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Recovery

Sit, settle; take a while to relax

Embroiled, so to speak

A cacophony of human voices

To still the aches

Of this one more human

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Rich

Lightless windows

At the end of the day

A strength of blue

Purpose made

For lovers at play

Play on the waterfront

Play in the drinkers bar

Play at the all-night discotheque

Before the moonlight arrives

With the morning star

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Curvature & Recoil

Hand placed

Softly upon your bare shoulder

Fingers that stroke breathless along your blade

Palms that ease to cup your firm bosom

A mind that plays awhile with yesteryear

--------------------------------

I stare over my coffee cup

Take care not to mix you up

With some other me

I share your arm movement

Bare skin of singular intent

Meant for all to see

There is little now that stirs

I defer to my memory

Despair that she is not meant to be

Poets don't believe in God

Their search for life is otherwise endless

From the lake isle

To the flight of the white egret

Poets don't believe in God

Their quest for faith is otherwise infinite

From the diary pages of fallen soldiers

To the sounds of the blackest seas

God doesn't believe in poets

Do you see me wavering

Stood here shaking my fist

Shouting about the wastelands
