Blue as fire
Thanks garnered no pleasure
The Dance left all spent
Unable to sustain the steady
girth and mirth
Inching closer to the flame
indulgence eroded the soul
Until reputation proceeded any
real voice
Solace met loneliness, finally
as and while memories
continued into the expiration date
once the eyes fully closed
And respects were paid

The Absent Visitor
Your eyes are open
Yet you’re dead outside
Repetitive motion
delays the inevitable
You can be heard
Muffled, as if under ground
Changing of the garb
Drawing attention to the autopsy
not yet declared

Through the eyes of a child
Here I Am
Looking and noticing
All that is in my path
What does time change?
Even with repair
Things do wither
Yet, they still change
My younger self
Wishes to grow
While wishing to know
That I will see
The happiness and love
That made me laugh
And glow
And may what or who looks
Out at me, someday
Pick me up like I cried in hunger
Or writhed in my drench
Shelter me with just a smile
A while
To remind me
Sight Again
Eye-lids carry
the baggage for the days
and times of emptiness
Though covered with face paint
They still rise up to let
the eyes see what is before me
And my mind reminds them
I used to be just that
A new victim
Same old gesture
struggling to hold back steam
never released
In this lifetime
Beautifully Beautiful with Life
I saw the moon float
right before my brown eyes
No birds sheltered it
Even the stars made their own skies
Steady was the wind
to not allow fallen seeds to offend
Somewhere up there
the Virgin Mary let down her hair with care
The little ones who came before me
showed no signs of fragility
Chirping along
were the angels in birds song
Flowers rested
full-breasted
And though rain was due
the Earth’s body tilled itself anew
Paradise reigned supreme
every day as if
and unlike any made up dream
When the sun winked
it stayed every time I blinked
Flowing waters played back-ups
and overflowed my ace of cups
Night favored the daylight
insuring its beauty with all its might
Accepting shade
for time and space that God had made
Call that Boy a Rogue
A Heartbreaker
Makes for a fast baby-maker
Hit it and leave
But who was the first to deceive
It’s easy to call him the fool
When you know who took you to school
While you stood there trying to Vogue
Just go ahead, call that boy a rogue
It was the thing to be with him
A Dream-taker, out on a limb
Who tells you wrong from right
When it’s a fight to stay in the spotlight
He may have told you lies
But you’re your eyes were on the prize
Didn’t think you’d ever trip and fall
For all the measures and the jolts
Have to explain it to your folks
For you, it’s just another curtain call
A matter of the heart
Took off, but you had a false start
Gave until you had no more to give
So the time has come
To see a rocking chair and learn to sing and hum
Now you’ve got more than a reason to live
Keep on loving the World
What you may once have had
May well return
A steady beat
Warms the soul and body
Do be careful to not
Rustle the trees and air
You are the vibration
That they feed from
What is seen through the eyes
Can wickedly defile the heart with lies
Sex is just sex placed with a hex
Minus the “o” becomes the ex
Doctor Feel Good
Takes over the whole neighborhood
Able to do so much
Without even a single touch
May your voice be the choice
Causing the bodice to be moist
Cut and savor that pie
Long enough stars fall from the sky
