Standing, in the fading sun beneath the early stars and the yellow lamps that light one by one. Geese bear witness As they waddle past on Tiny orange feet, As our hearts untwine Under the Misty blue sky. Your supple mouth Pinches tightly shut As you lower your eyes To the ground. Lifting the lace high up Over your head you Go off to be a bride.

Bride
Yellow mango flesh perched on ruby red lips, her elbow propped on the bar, watching the leaving ships, News crackles of a major hurricane, tourist are leavin locals are stayin When the surge subsided, far inland it reached her body was found washed up on the beach the seas dead calm the wind's mouth zipped. They knew it was her by her ruby red lips. AD

Ruby Red Lips
Blowing sweat dry, across her neck. As tiny erections march down her back. Drawing warm breaths threw her teeth. She praises the sky for a sweet relief. AD

Night Air
Weaving my way Through a throng, I spied emerald eyes dark and somber as a July Thunderstorm, her day dripped sadness around crimson heels in tiny rivulets of espresso and cream, Staining her Burberry skirt along its seams. Lifting her hand to her lips, ******* gingerly at manicured fingertips. She watched the train pull away. AD

Her Day
Gnashing of teeth, Tearing of vestments Crematory waste Smeared upon my face. Angst God has died, A wanton suicide Her ******* children Now run this place. Angst ***** stained covers Adulterous lovers, Depart smiling, Not hiding their Faces. Angst Wounded skies bleed On terra infirma indeed It’s poison leaching Into bubbling brooks. Angst Bonita Muerte Erasing the pain Setting the corpses On the pyres again Angst AD

Angst
Remember when a stroll , so ancient its name, Was our universe. Long and winding ,deep Into the forest’s cosmos. As Winter’s breath splashed Your cheeks with rubies. I stole glances of your Perfect lips bathed In the dying light. As the stars played Surreptitiously, In your highlights, Your hand In mine, I laid a kings road To my soul. Your chariot, A kiss so warm And deep its meaning I dare not speak above A Whisper. The Man Inside Me Is afraid Of your caress Unhand me, I say Unhand me. ~AD~

Unhand Me
Oh my, How sweet the Lullaby Steals her tears From crying eyes. Whisking her weeping Off its feet. Silent harmonies Sail her across the dark Harbor, mooring her Off to sleep. Laying her fretless in Softened quilts Her mother hopes Will keep. Stealing away from Her berth The mother makes A retreat. Feeling lonely without Her warmth The baby’s eyes doth peep, The baby's eyes doth peep. AD

A Mother's Night
Lost River Phantasms fill the spaces Of my dreams a haunted place Chatter chatter clatter breaking Shattering the cold chains Undamming memories of childhood Lost, torrents of pain lay bare my banks Of deep rooted trees and tossed my sanctuary asunder Dragging me under Until I sputtered and gagged on thick muddy memories Until I could not find a dry place on my pillow Until I moaned a lullaby A dirge so cheerful I wept no longer behind the heavy red curtains of my Private place, Lest I Wake My Wife.

Lost River
Nerves grind sharply as freshly drilled teeth A rotted ghost of old Haunts in my sleep Warm acrid bile fills The back of my throat As Love soft peals Erases all my hopes Peeling back the moist corneum Of my eager flesh She exposes the throbbing source of My distress Her soothing glare Renders my bones of fat And lays them bare My Mistress, My Mistress! I have lost the will to Resist, You Wonderfully Cruel Evil Saintly Dainty Thieving Adulteress Who surrenders me No rest. ~AD~

No Rest
Sleepy moon beams kiss the morning sky Goodbye, as they slip into the cerulean on High. I’d been walkin all night, the morning air Unwinding the curls from my tangled hair. As I drug My emotions through potholed streets. Tires crunching sand the sweepers missed, Sliver boxes clicking the lights from green to Red, steam clouds rise in a royal ascension Bathing passers by in a ghostly hue. Pulling my coat tightly I slipped though Their procession unnoticed, ears pressed to phones, Eyes lowered to ground, hands gripped on purse straps. I sit watching the wisp of early risers become a Thunderous herd or late risers walking nowhere. I’d been walkin all night, the morning air Damp against my face, cool and electric Condensing on my cheeks, dripping down My face where my tears should be. If I Won’t cry for myself most certainly the morning air Will do it for me. AD
