catherine
when we met he smelled
like tobacco and vanilla
and he looked like trouble

maybe he was a little
rough and tumble and liked
to fight bare-knuckled

but he kickstarted my
heart right into
overdrive
Growing up I remember
How much my parents loved me
They'd always let me play outside
But only if it was in the street

I know they'd be saddened
If I got hit by a car
That's just the kind of
Great parents they were

They would always feed me
Jelly toast in the tub
My parents were so clumsy
Often the toaster they'd accidentally nudge

And we all know what happens
When you mix water with electricity
My parents would be crushed
If they ever lost me

Yes, growing up my parents
Sure did love me a lot
But that's just the kind of
Wonderful parents I've got

I remember the time
At the tinder age of two
They left the ladder against the house
So I could get my favorite ball off the roof

If I fell off that roof
I know how hard they would cry
Knowing they left the ladder out
Those silly guys were so forgetful at times

In fact I remember the time
That they left that fork
In the electrical socket
Then went off to work

When I grabbed it my eardrums blew out
For a couple of weeks
I know they always hated it when
Those things always happened to me

Yes, growing up my parents
Sure did love me I swear
But that's just the kind of
Wonderful parents they were

It saddens me to think
They're not around anymore
It happened when that explosion
Took out the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floor

They were to close to the house
And the explosion inside
And to think their last thought was
I was at home the moment they died

I wish I had told them
I spent the night down the street
Then they wouldn't of come back
Looking for me

Yes, growing up my parents
Sure did love me like I've said
But that's just the kind of
*Wonderful parents I had
Ahh...the innocence of youth. Lol!
Have you ever stopped long enough to think about fingers
The five on the left as well as the five on the right
The purpose they serve in serving us as well as serving others
And truly how much they help us out in our daily lives

I use mine in the morning to hide the first of many yawns
They're ready to snap into action at the sound of my command
If you use your fingers properly then you will not go wrong
Now that I think about it, without fingers where would be the hand

I count on my fingers to help with so many things
I also use those same fingers to count the things I have
Of course I don't have enough fingers to count the things I think I need
In fact I think that many fingers might look a Tad to Rad

Without fingers we couldn't point and say things like...Looky There!
Or show our displeasure at other motorist, though I would never dare
And where would we place our wedding ring to show our love we care
How about taking tea with royalty with our pinky's in the air

So you see fingers do serve a purpose now that I've delved deeply into it
And we do have ten in case we lose a few in accidents unforeseen*
But if I ever lost the one with which I pick my nose
*Take your finger, pull the trigger...and put me out of my misery
Sorry the ending is so violent!
But I'm serious!
No seriously....I'm serious.
We were strangers when it was we first met
From the far corners of the world
All that we have in common
Is our love for the rhyming word

This is where we find ourselves each day
On this  Poets Corner at any given time
Enlightening each other as it's meant to be
With our mastery of rhyme

Not one better than another
Each unique in our own way
The way it is we use our wit
And what it is we choose to say

When there's joy we all join in the laughter
When there's sorrow we share in the cry
Here on this corner we gather together
Intersecting with each others lives

With our hearts and our souls laid open
For all of the world to see
We are so different yet so much the same
On this corner where friend's and poets all meet
I bought a packet of inspiration
From a highway roadside stand
It only held one seed but that's all I would need
Is what the old man at the stand had said

So I went home and started the garden
In the very middle of my back yard
Planted the seed one inch deep
As per instructions on the card

I religiously watered it faithfully
Each and every day of the week
When the sprout of inspiration
Shot up to the sky like a ****

It must have had a gazillion branches
That birds of different colors landed and chirped
The fruit of inspiration is delicious to taste
As I now savor every word

If I ever come upon doubt and confusion
And find going on to be hard
I step outside for inspiration
That now grows in my back yard
What If...

The soldiers of the world
     All at the very same time
Laid down their mighty weapons
     And refused to fight

Walked off of the killing fields
     To make their way back home
As the world stood by and watched
     Would we then all get along

What If...

Those who preached of hate
     Suddenly shut their mouths
Turning from the hatred in their hearts
     To find what true love is all about

Would it make a difference
     In how you loved those around
Would it make a difference
     In how you loved yourself

What If...

All the leaders of the world
     Came together for one day
Locked themselves inside a room
     With their advisors out of the way

Could they see each other with value
     And become the best of friends
Seeing it's not just a country after all
     But a world that we live in

What If...
When the moon forces night
               *I'm knocked down to my knees

Memory fading from sight
               Promises I'll never keep
I go and do it again
               Order round after round
Might as well be a gun in my hand
               Deadly shots with no sound
As the snake in the pit
               Takes a bite out of me
I am chewing my lip
               So much wanting to scream
Falling off of the cliff
               Cause my ledge is to weak
Craziness must admit
               Taking the best out of me
Sunlight makes it's first peak
               Over the waters edge
In the gutter I sleep
               I have made my own bed
In which I now lie
               If only I were able
To give up and die
               On this, my torture table
The snake in the pit
               Will not let go of me
I try to shoot from the hip
               To try and bring some relief
I stare at the cliff where I fell
               The climb is to steep
Alcohol has a mighty grip
               *
That brings me no peace
I did finally escape the grip alcohol had on me over 24 years ago...
If you find yourself in that hell (And HELL it is) I pray you yourself find relief and help.
Are you strong enough to do it on your own? Maybe but I doubt it.
Check out AA or  better yet Celebrate Recovery at a local church..
Believe me it will be one of the best decisions you'll make in life!
Escape is possible!
Can I borrow your heart
While mine is on the mend
It's been broken many times before
I find it broken again

This I promise you
I will hold onto it tight and true
If you will let this lonely soul
Borrow your heart

If you lend me your heart
I will take it home with me
Give it lots of love
And treat it carefully

That is one thing I know
A precious heart like yours really needs
So can I borrow your heart
And take it home with me
The pebbles on the beach
Are tossed around by waves
The same as downtown people
On their better days

Why don't they do something about it
Is the question seldom asked
They'll try working on their future
Once they forget about their past

Like the pebbles on the beach
Pulled out to sea by mighty waves
So go the downtowners
As their lives are swept away
before it falls i dilate
with electric scent, spine-hairs
string her possibilities as kites
to tug my summon ground--
lilt, wave and spiral
distant mischief to a head.
i rumble on the vista, far, and,
on occasion of a social clearing hum,
chance aloneness on a hill
to watch the herald lake and trees, nets
secure themselves as emblems to my storied lust.
apsara, i
breathe you in in strokes
submit unconscious rhythm of imaginal delights
made real to last beyond experience of time
descended of the clouds
sea rich, heavy, sultry
you unroll an atmospheric fate:
my lust to span the sky, irrupt an earthen,
orgiastic zenith of all things--burst fantastic quell
in pale continuum your pedestal allays

floating hair as long as frantic overcast
horizon length
and indistinct of rain..
green, blue continents of eyes, mists
suspend ecstatic sway
in areolae breeze,
my hands the brimming cups
to gather, spill
bright ****** drops
into the signal essence rising,
center rhythm of a liquid bounce
that shines in belly-button crescent moon--
each gust a lapping of the sky-clad ache of moonlit summer leaves,
another sudden adolescence lost and gained--
falls on me, dripping
legs to wrap and draw in
every ***** blade of grass--
saturate the lingam i am living in--
enveloped in vaginal dance of pressure
pulling on the earth i am
an arching back
and skyward ******

begun before a time historians belie
wind genie, yoni,
full of all i ever willed..
how rare appearance has to be,
knowing you unique
to whimsically revise
your lightning shape akin
exotic form to fit my changing own
and yet you don't exist, my eyebrow says
between horizon-cracks
and patter of the gale--
bolts to spread dark syrup
through my veins..
i am intent on having you
to let you have me as your first and last
--being young
i am intent on twining my virginity to you,
to pierce my own hymenal dome--
slick with yearning, thundering
in moan across the hills and puddled tennis courts
undulating to my concord whim
your rivuletted ***** of the gods, goddesses --gulped between inhaling--
eyes that roll pineal
genesis denuded of a crime, apparel
gone insane delight
of endless tempest ***--
the purge cascades a vacuum in each vessel..
limp on writhing grass
euphoric in a space of never having been

what soul i have
her visitation marked--
with gridless memories unfaded by the games a decade
striates on the mind. i made
her more than what my way would make of her
and less for what my symbols lose;
i call her muse,
and forfeit right to call her anything again.
i am the burning key and lock
our chastity attained and lost
in vaporous blurring of all stars
rewinking in the gossamer above
