as curious
as a kitten
we laugh at life’s
silliness his face
is as genuine as
a diamond its facets
shimmer in dim
light causing me to
squint
his body long and lithe
mounds of muscle flesh
arms like weapons
his gentleness surprises
me his crooked smile
draws me nearer
like sirens
his flank is where
my hand sits holding
onto rythym
nails draw down
his back scratching
like bear claws causing
streaks of red ink
pouty lower lip
beckons kisses
Month: March 2018
Poetry
simple
basic and
fundamental
a scarcity
of words
explaining the
Universe
what’s a poet
without words
a dry well
drought and
famine
expression
is a wink
smile laugh
a poet now
a mime
Longing
I ache for him
like Auden
and Longfellow
words
scarce
feelings
torrential
what did they
do with feelings
described beauty
describing
thoroughbreds
beauty’s these men
of Auden
and Longfellow
ache
to be free
from their
pages
Opinion(s)
there are as many
as there are leaves
on the tree
yet all of them
are like a
wind
that blows
for no
reason
Simple
is a delicate
word like a lace
kerchief or a
hand-written
note it also
means as it says
its beauty
like a balloon
floats above
sentiment and
is
This morning
I awoke
to the
mirrored
image of
Diamond Head
once a spectacle
aging and green
it gives a sense
of morality
a basin
nestles
houses
looking
like an
amphitheatre
house tops
loom like
spectators
oceans edge
stand giants
moored in
sand they tower
above the palms
creating shadows
of danger
eclipsing
sun and moon
and I
but a speck
on his
shoes
Hawaii II
In Hawaii
my home
is built on
stilts and
overlooks
a canyon of
houses
trees of leafy
green overgrow
gardens all
wild now like
animals
the street lamps
like orange
pearls dot
darkness
the breeze
is smooth
like custard
