Sleep
blink head weightless
the orchestra plays softly
lulling eyelashes a flutter
feathers plucked willingly
mastered imagination
relinquish satin flowers to
pillows on floating dreams
POETRY FOR YOUR HEART NOT FOR YOUR HEAD.
What you see in the dark when you've been hunting lions. They have been ready, following, still comforting all along.
Sevenfold
up the canal tender strength
marbles freedom rolling
birds see no war below
the voices befall hands speaking
hearts beating above motion
protective red cape flowing
clarity in spectrums collapse

Sleeping Lion
mind talking chatter willing the flow into existence
hidden dot peaking bird to lion's ego
G-D tinged the lambs spine for speech
clawing mane tangled from nothingness
sleep while the mouse tip toes for the hunt

Neap
indeed redeemed tokens
isolated not duress
in the doorway wearing stockings
simple truth still youth
rain incense dripping
slave to the bedroom
ready for the words to come

All Clear
no need to worry
this is not a piece
written humbly
there is no problem
glistening in the water
dissolve your pills
look under the mattress
the drama is abrupt
it ended on this page
no knots just a treasure
sooth this keyboard
pens run out of ink
this is easy

Freebie
trouble collects at the collar
tricking fleas for the party
unleashed men chasing poodles
pretty bows with personalized bowls
the cat serves the drinks slowly
poisoning the fleas thinking it was free

Spells and Mascara
wink wink
hanky wet dripping wet
eyelashes thinking thick thoughts
beat beat
wishes drained softly
head leaning against the windshield
book book
burnt pages floating
spells told well next 7 exits
stop stop
need to pee
rest, stop, splash mascara on hanky

Falling Leaves
blotches protect incredulous skin
jousting with crackling leaves
fall blows tinges seducing warmth
under the blankets toes in cold puddles
neck exposed to bumps that bruise ecstasy
reunited hands yearning risks to hold

Route 66
crosswalk FU
homeless man
bangs on hood of car
distraught
Route 66
crosswalk FU
the driver shrugs
disturbed wrinkles
crossing the road
