Nothing In This

there is nothing in this
but poker-face polemics

elaboration's aberrations
platitudinous alienation

let us simply dismiss this
move the furthest past this

with levity of brevity
pedestrian thesbian
cravings braving

this is but the least uncommon
weighted slight of lightest
surely naught which one would miss
greyest kiss-off careless wisp

there is nothing of this
even such the fading fruitless
sterile futile infertile guess
puerile juvenile dramatic mess

there is nothing like this
pedantic romantic frantic fess

even so with
nonetheless...

there is nothing in this

Conduit

Devoid of constricting condition
fathoms past puerile possession

i love you
and so we flux flow
resisting insulation

freed me you fill
feed freely

your devoted conduit

the current courses
mine you of only

such is so
holiest alchemy

there is no physics
only love

unreservedly

Window Shopping

you have ever adored the cut
colours pattern fabric

it is love at first sight
ages long anticipated
marvelously materialized

serendipitous simply fantastic oh
how imagination runs rampant
miraculous mannequin's
machination dressing

you enter
try it on
the fit provides precious little comfort
with wear far the less flattering

Romantic

Isn't it romantic

how the chrysalids land on the ice cubes

in our drink to wink

with sunlight and time

for the dawning double blind


Isn't it romantic

how wings unborn

are worn to be torn

from our aesthetic interpretation


Isn't it romantic

that we should be so kind as to blind

as to bind each other

belieing bespeak betraying


Isn't it romantic

that we should drink such potion to spite

foreknowledge of death

innate insecurity feigning


Isn't it romantic

how the oils shift smudge to smear coupling

seething suppling searing

precious delicate contours


How I miss your words

tender as tobacco

upon mine morning, mourning throat

how I miss your voice

stillborn butterflies in the ears of compassion

unsettling clouds dim-lit dawning

drawing painting...


But how the butterflies

defy and fly

how the butterflies

in the face of formal

whims and wanton whys cry


Isn't it romantic that

we could be so superficial, civil

in lovingly lavish clasp 'lusive grasp


Isn't it romantic

that we were so resolute

in absolute

pressing persuasion

and parched for passion

that we might seek such vision of void

head-long and strong that we might belong


The chrysalids are daimon diamonds
The chrysalids are daimon diamonds

Isn't it romantic?

The Kiss

Should i kiss you
as marble antiquity

Or sharply
- this less peck
tempting trochee aesthetic

That I
We
should might make

distinctions
between kinetic

Idiosyncratic
aberration's
tick-tock rude clock timing

Alienations'
indecision
incision

As yet our kiss
far more than lesser this

Our Kiss
Lends Lips

Our Kiss
Lends Lips for Lisp

Like poets' lunging
lavish ravish
unctuous rambunctious rhyming

Our Kiss
Quills' Quivering Quips

Miss The Lights

(intro) walking tall, full of tedious charm,
The smoothest (? ? ? ) in (? ? ? )
The mission boys all cross their palms
Dont you know who I am
I guess you miss the lights? huh!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Little caesar is prince of the city
? ? ?
In this town theres no pity
This man stands alone
I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Sometimes when youre all alone
And the blue turns to gray
Better get down on those pinky knees,
And you start to pray
I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Kiss-kissing your name
(instrumental)
A glimmering ? , a twilight star
And so much love for show,
A returning wave from the gallery bar
And share the afterglow
I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Ha!
I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame, haha!
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
(fade out music and chorus)
I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss everybody
Kiss-kissing your name

Time Of Day

i smell the coffee

with you
my third mourning

but this time
i sweeten

maple syrup to
blackest crude acid i

open the windows
draw a blind

leave
the door unlocked

that much easier
with practice over time

Broken Constellation

Star fallin'
Cast too fast
Far too sudden
Sullen

Open hand
Blows birthday candles
Wavering waving
Wonderin'

Best Friends

She is softly spoken
this clouded thunderstruck even

tenses aside she glides

providing comfort
guidance eye

ears encompassing wide she

as no other
immaculate clarity
intimate weather advisory
providing

one hand over mine
fickle hear racing

other about shudder
stuttering

shoulder smooth
silk feather irons
my jitter trembling

what i never but needed
yearn to hear

clearest shear fear i
open sore secrets

simply adore her

Reflexes

I just gush about you melt
Semi-circle cannot help
Call it reflex impulse
That crumbles oblivion peripheral

There is none other like you
There is not one other
as you
There are no others conceivably who

Claim focus
most magnificent physics

All But

they were all but

replicas inadequate
second rate jigsaw
compilations

fractured facet
amalgamations

finest mine
exquisite

you

the double split
three dimensional
original

you

apparit ion's aspirations
syllabaries' ideations

mine immaculate idealization


they were all but

Jewels Too

She is Red
Platinum aureate lighting
Aquamarine her subtle scheme
Grandiosity belie betraying
She wears matte for damp soft clothing
Jewels dripping through the trimming
She so unassuming She.....

Kiss......kiss........kiss.

kiss kiss kiss
the thing, you never want to miss.

there are many ways to kiss.
here are the best six.

when you get a gloss kiss.
i bet you will lick your lips.

the kiss of style vampire,
with it, you will never get tire.

the smooth touch of angel kiss,
is the one, you never want to miss.

spidermans kiss is the best,
you will urge for more, without rest.

the wet kiss of single lip.
is so tempting and romantic.

on top of all is the love kiss,
it takes you to the world of bliss.

so kiss, kiss, and kiss.
these don't ever miss...

Tempest

It’s the summer thunder
and I miss her wonder

As the wool is pulled to
bluest grey gaze

Abysmal and dismal
dervish dust sand

Far too-many days
too-many far days

I keep the windows open

Even echoes
should neither be alone nor
shut out

Still This

Still this
quiet sense of resignation

...remains...

raw gnaw
unnerving

I wrestle with sensibility

provokes propels
it plagues me

A Poet Should Be

A poet should be romantic as spring
chocolate and cherry
mellifluous honey
drinking day-lit blossoming

Yet a poet should be
suspicious jaded wary
deepest indigo sour wine poison
ice blister winter night scathing

A poet should be loving
beyond bewildering
passionate so jealously

A poet should be spiteful
boisterous unbecoming
belligerent as unseemly

A poet should ever enjoin
engage the reader
emphatic empathic
paving pathos
ever so eternal
most intimate
enduringly

Breathing

So I write her a poem
like her
myth magical

it's
very own lines write
between
tacit sight texture tactile
intangibles

we
meet
imagination
blowing breathing beat

Immortalize

So how shall we immortalize?
I ask her with this face
School-boy gleam giddy

Talent, potential
augmented with
her very own, “perhaps”
dangles for follow

Text
draw or paint for sculpting?
intimate as evasive I
literate searching

tug tension tearing
tension indecisive
lends word for earing:
She the Master ever in training

(dare I steal her word for ask?)

“Let us keep this moment for last,
suspending perhaps... “

Denial Of The Inner Bully.

I guess, the mess we find ourselves within
is relative to where we planned to be.
That cold chagrin could camouflage the grin
upon the face we let the others see.

Although, we cannot hide the true intent
when onlookers are more astute than we.
How hard it is to hide then, what we meant
How hard it is, to admit...this is me?

How many foolish arguments arose
to sate one's puerile, paranoid defence?
How many friends have you imagined 'foes'?
How can the ego combat common sense?

I guess the mess we find ourselves within
is Karma's way of redressing that sin?
