Can I bathe in this nocturnal gloom
As night drowns in solitude
Unfurl the ocean to slumber
An infants blanket to sleep
I will carry the moon on my back
Lift it high as midnight returns
Symbiotic, perhaps absurd
Ask if I need sunlight , I do
But this ebony patina is my metallic cocoon




****** dooby doo where are you
David Dec 9
Tiny gods mumur profanities
Docile hands, obtuse in their promise
Feed warm solace to pigeons in the park
I need heaven to smile
The sky needs to open its mouth wide
So stars come alive
I need my words to become famous
To cavort thru adolescent eyes
Paper makes a prisoner of trees
Standing alone silent in the breeze
David Dec 4
I don't get treated like a human being
I must be an animal
This spurious collage of this mange dog
Life is ruff


Go Steelers
David Dec 2
I breath in infamy
Inhale chunky desolate clouds to puff my chest
Live ,love  Ode to Adam and Eve
Ears see , eyes hear
Bloated hearts congeal concocted bliss
Ragged ice in a queer delusion
the curvature of honey, first glance , first kiss

Black is mentioned in darkness
Blindfolded pragmatist see but don't believe that light will
puncture childhood dreams . blank wall harbor old wounds
Mockingbirds mock  the raven squawks a dire truth
Man moves his lecherous snout ,spreading his seed
The tree will cringe, yield its heart to the untoward
Man may eventually return to walking on all fours

{Talented people deserve homage}

You, liquid woman permeates canvas to paint
I blink, blossomed smile capitulates rhymes, supple nuance with grace
Ink flow saturates veins
Gluten of synopsis , her molecular taste
Celestial pixels flower in stream
Better angels aloft,  cradle of lucid esteem
Evolve, life pangs, queen for a day, your carriage awaits
David Nov 17
Storms knock on closed doors
Windows seek out vacant souls
Tomorrow brings today as we levitate in pain
Shadows linger amongst vivid dreams

Black clouds beckon; calling out my name
The grey swells of normalcy
Death, taxes; medicated haze
Our bones rattle; virginity, chastity, abstain
Metaphoric pillows yearn to be free
Why must I be tormented by flesh
I tease it; it tortures me.
