I understand nothing
Mike Adam Jul 2020
It is nice

That you do
Jul 2020 · 89
It is just a building
Mike Adam Jul 2020
It will tumble and fall.

You wouldbe so safe
In my arms

If we could bubble-

So lonely.
Jul 2020 · 54
Well
Mike Adam Jul 2020
It will be

Alright

Watering
Mike Adam Jul 2020
A:
In the smallness
Of the garden
Thirsty flowers
Scorn my puny can
And call down rain

B:
In a distant galaxy
Some parallel man
Waters microbial blooms.

Bereft of cloud,
Darkness engulfs like
A tomb

Last
Mike Adam Jul 2020
The last time I loved
(So, so,
So long ago)

Fruit spilled itself
In the garden

And insects sang
And rejoiced
In the split flesh

And the soil leapt
With joy
And sprouted
Tiny seedlings.

The last time
I loved

Her womb welcomed
Seed and cried
In happiness
And fecund abundance.

But the last time was
So,so
So long ago
Jul 2020 · 54
Just
Mike Adam Jul 2020
Oh

Just make it up

And I am
Mike Adam Jun 2020
And I am in love

(Again)

But she no idea has.

How to marry?

How to know

And who we can

Possibly

Be?
Jun 2020 · 54
What a voice
Mike Adam Jun 2020
What a voice
And I wish

That I could call

Mellifluous

On your ear
Jun 2020 · 68
How often
Mike Adam Jun 2020
How often have I
Curled up

And cried

Like

A man

A real man

Noah ashore
Mike Adam Jun 2020
After rain
Nostril aflame

Red bloom
Sing tune

Berry hum
Upon tongue

Skin alive
Sultry, blithe
Jun 2020 · 50
There are none
Mike Adam Jun 2020
There are none I seek
To reunite,

To meet again
Beyond the veil-

Do not oppose
sweet oblivion

From the strangeness
Of life,

From consciousness
Of panic

Nor of love
Jun 2020 · 46
Universe
Mike Adam Jun 2020
Universe is so
Small
And changeable

My mouth can
Say so
Little.

Of *****

And love.

If I cannot breath

Into my nostrils
And I lived

Hallucinate
Mike Adam May 2020
Donkey named Ginny.

Five years and sick,
Convalescent friend.

Wagon wheel spreads
Chocolate around the mouth.

Today round clock
Melts,
Giraffe open drawers in neck.

No longer five
But sixty plus

And bewildering motion,
Time and dizzy change,

Endless assault,
Uni-linear movement.

Ever longing to stroke
Her shaggy muzzle.

O time

Distort mirror
Then that
Now this
Becoming
Other.

Put aside
Caricatures-

Slip mirrors into oceans

Flee free

Rusting bucket

Escaped through

Dead

Got a
Satellite.

Here I spin
And roll

Alone

Head in ice

Often thought
Mike Adam Feb 2020
Saw you-

Molten stuff from
The navel of the world-

Never cooled to earth-

Bubbled desire
Moulded to a sigh

Quaking your surface
Only to subside.

May your fluid state
Persist unstabled
As the end of day

Breathes orange
Feb 2020 · 97
Easy fall
Mike Adam Feb 2020
Easy to sit in
Cosy coffin and

Pontificate
Upon the death of
Others-

Easy annihilation
Of
Self
So
Cosily confined

All I know of love

All I know of creation
Is in this dot

O lugubrious poet
Mike Adam Jan 2020
O lugubrious poet
Take me down
Beyond dog-headed
Beasties

Past styx falling
Twigs
Upon our heads-

Poet take me to
The tense past
Future
And tell me this
Mess I made
Will furnish-
Polished oak-
One more chance

To make amends-

To finally
Post mortem-to
Live again

Broken arrow
Mike Adam Jan 2020
Fire the arrow
To burial.

Pull bowstring taut

And release.

Broken arrow,
Going nowhere.

O where to die?

Right here?

O how to die well
Right here.

Useless archer
Failed to live
Failed to die-

Broken arrow
Failed to fly-

Sizzle
Mike Adam Jan 2020
Some billions of
Years ago
Some star explodes.

Some particle flew
Through the hovel
Window

Burning breakfast.

Pesky super novae,
Irradiating universe.

Whence the calm
Stasis
Of solid state?
Jan 2020 · 91
Burst
Mike Adam Jan 2020
I sit in the centre
Of the seed
Unafraid to fall

Damp soil welcoming
Bold to open and
March up to sky

Sun
Light
Rain
Warm
New
Growth
Alive alive O
At last
At last
At...
