trip up the island to see all the folk monopoly, pong => pig 'n a poke crystalline glass with dark bitter ale Santa is looking a little bit pale cherry red cheeks from a chilled chardonnay one sailing wait for the talk of the day drum sticks and dressing are the pick of the bird chestnuts and brandy for gravy being stirred brussels and taters are pulled from the bake pears in the salad bring memories of Jake sparks from the fire with rich amber glow grey hair and wrinkles will come...don't you know? gingerbread man with a white icing smile candy cane schnapps (with its seasonal style!) pine cones and tinsel that cover the tree carols are humming from churches and streets cold winter nights are the best of the year chocolate and eggnog await with good cheer a heavy thick fog approaches the sound the comforts of Christmas, with joy all around!

snowmen, sleigh-bells and stockings (with holes)
Blessed are we all to live in a time when the love of Craft beer exceeds that for wine. Hops, malt and barley all now rule the day When brewed up together in a nice I.P.A. Who cares if some hipsters choose to babble away about hints of oak in some obscure Chardonnay. We are no longer limited to our father’s Budweiser. The vast choice of beers would astound those old timers! Cherry Wheat, pumpkin, and Oktoberfest You’ll fall down on your face ere you’ve tried all the rest. As Ben Franklin stated wittily and succinctly” “Beer is the proof God meant man to be happy.”

The Golden Age of Beer
Snip Cut Bang Simmer I want a transit, a travel against my skin, that keeps going until I command it to stop. My mouth begged for light, to feel warmth on my face Heat oven to 450 You laughed and tossed me, a rag, away from the mahogany scent of your chest to the cold, hard floor that I am stuck to. I miss you I try to imagine you so that I can delude myself into continuing, but my mind strangely has already forgotten you. I cannot remember your eyes, or even your favorite color anymore. Some wish for that type of amnesia, but I am solemn. I wanted a piece of you to carry with me always. Cook for fifteen minutes or until dark I hear my other side in my head; She is the evil within me. I am brunbrunette, she is red. I wear flats--her long legs are attracted to heels. She smiles and with a curvy, smooth voice, much like a fiery dame from 1920: "He has a piece of you though; you gave him your whole heart, and he only took a bite! That's alright, you don't need him or anything like him! You are a woman.... " I drown her out with recipes, 4 cups of music and 1 cup chardonnay (okay maybe MORE than one)-- therapy that I have made many appointments for. Adding bits and pieces of me that I share, and some I don't One thing I know, if a new one comes along, he is going to have to be patient, I learned my lesson from burning out on the first batch Take out--let cool Don't eat all at once--savor. Enjoy a slice at a time.

The whole concept of adulthood is one that seems to trespass from the ever-anticipated world of the theoretical, just to barge into your life one night like an uninvited drunken friend. It will never really “hit you,” but it’ll come **** close the first time your aunt offers you a glass of wine as she and your mother gossip frankly about your father’s mistress— you sip on cheap Chardonnay and pretend to be used to the taste, as they talk with a middle-aged bitterness of the man you were raised to believe was too virtuous to be in debt for some glitzy engagement ring that he bought to restart his life with a woman he left your mother for shortly after the pandemonium of a guiltless affair. The man whose brutishness you were told to overlook, cradling the sparse memories of when he’d tuck you too tightly into bed, or when he’d tell you that he loved you even though half the time you really didn’t believe him— The man whose love confused you, whose clumsy attempts of fatherhood kept the heart of a young girl perpetually guarded by a cautious skepticism— The man who brought you into a world he found absurd as carelessly as he raised you to face it, torn apart like every illusion that makes a child, the ashes of which that slip through your fingers inevitably declare you another bitter adult. More wine will reveal that your beloved father is a controlling ****** and his relationship with that ***** the whole family hates only appears to be functioning because she lets him have all the control he couldn’t exert on your mother, even though you’ve had dinner with the two of them a couple of times and if you had met her under any other circumstance (though you’d feel like a traitor if you said it aloud) you wouldn’t think she was all that bad. In red, declarative letters I want to write to any children I may ever bear into this bittersweet game of ******** we play that we’ve since called ‘life,’ that when they first gaze with awe at the unattainable grace with which every grown-up seems to navigate the world they created, with all the pain of tax-paying and womanhood, I want to scream that we don’t know what the hell we’re doing either and if at any point I try to convince you otherwise you should tell your mother that she’s full of ****

Us together was exemplary devastation and even in pieces, I yearned for more...   Us together now is pure conservation even perpetual I want more...   Can I compare you to my lovely day? But you are the art more lovely and more adumbrate...   Your cherry blossom hue never gonna wash away by heavy showers of rain I'm not even gonna let ragged wind shake my darlings, Dovey...   You can savour me... But only with your eyes...  And I will vow with mine.. then there will be no surprise...   May our path be cohered forever and get entwined... We can epoch our kiss in a barrel then we not gonna need chardonnay wine...   What signifies how intimate we shall be?? Not what you are but what you're to me...   But you are so far away... And we are planning to make our stay...  we are staying under the blanket of starry nights...   And it's a sight to behold because we gonna see two moons collide...   As long as the sun shines we traverse and expands...   May we reach the end of it all and may this never ends...

The Riff
tight muscles, the pain, the stress of the day, you can wash it all away with a glass of chardonnay, easing the constant anxiety that comes from the responsibility of day-to-day reality. flush it all down, along with your sanity and just wash it all away.

Remember The last time We were in Dallas together That place where We met We loved and We lived and where We were so very alive in Our time There in the beautiful city Resplendent and Refined Where we spent Our moments in love in life and the quiet vibrant Love of Life Remember That last time We went back home to Dallas On that day we awoke in the early morning When I asked if you were ready to leave You stepped gracefully to embrace me You said We had time Do you think We might... please You knowing surely without a doubt you never needed to plead We made love like We knew that We meant it We made love that isn't made fast We made love in the joys of pleasing each other A love that would always however still last We soon then were on our way on a beautiful bright late Fall day To see someone back home You there then golden and glorious Happy and smiling Sipping on a Sunkist citrus soda We put the car on cruise and We sailed away Slipping quickly from the rustic western country To merge swiftly into the flow of the magnificent city Toward the inbound expressway Remember the majestic towering skyscrapers as we made the loop around downtown The red flying Pegasus still flying on as the emblem of Our hometown Reunion Tower and the magic of light The Top of the Dome Club at the top of the world Such wonderful times at the top of Our life Remember Our date there when We were yet still young that lasted the afternoon Throughout the evening and all that beautiful night long For You then my Lady A perfect Chardonnay wine For me Johnny Walker on the rocks All to perfectly bind the heart and mind To a wondrous moment Overswept yet fixed in time You by my side as I always had hoped Like that very last time We were in Dallas together back home We made our stop to meet with a doctor friend He knew what I could never believe and what I never wanted to have had to comprehend You were gone by measures You were gone by degree You were going and near hopelessly gone unto me Yet I still hoped and believed The last time We went back home to Dallas together again But still on the way back from Our bright shining city to what would become the darkest of desolations You still were happy or so it seemed You were bright and beautiful like in a perfect dream We stopped at a restaurant I ate a lot...but You did not You stepped away for a minute and then I met you at the car When We got back to that place where together We last lived We embraced and You said again... please Surely You never would have ever needed to plead We first lay there together a moment to recover Our strength Entwined together You and me Then We there were immersed within that precious moment When all of beautiful intimate art is expressed in life And all of love becomes perfectly tragic art There is where I felt the trickle of Your tears as they fell down onto my chest And then there upon my heart After that last time We were back home in Dallas together.

#18 | 31 Poems for August 2016 I want soulful conversations filled with happiness, love and laughter. A little bit of red wine, Sade, Jill Scott and Erykah Badu will do. Time is wasted so I patiently wait for the clock to get sober eventually. The sincerity of my words is embedded in the movement of my verbs. Hope you learn to love your thick thighs and those beautiful brown eyes. I want to hold you in my arms until you forget what loneliness feels like. I read your body like the pages and chapters of a novel that I never want to stop reading. Reading the lines on a woman’s skin is poetry and too many men are illiterate. So they will never truly understand the fact that liberty begins with literacy. If you incorporate piano keys into my heartbeat, then I promise that you will fall in love with the melody. I want soulful conversations filled with happiness, love and laughter. A little bit of chardonnay, Maxwell, Jill Scott and Erykah Badu will do. The world is nothing without you, the world is blurry without my muse. Hope you learn to love your thick thighs and those beautiful brown eyes. I don’t have much but I have you and with God on my side how can I lose?

Get out your sponges, stippling brushes and pens, It’s time for makeover-Monday-night to begin. Think Winky Lux, L’Oréal, Urban Decay, Maybelline, Armani and Fabergé It’s a black magic realm where brushes are wands, where a carnival of colors are carefully crayoned. We have palettes aplenty, in kaleidoscope hues, to create fashion looks, both bold and subdued. In the realm of makeup fashion, where trends never end, we remodel each other - for fun - when we can. Tonight, our new friend Jammie has come to watch us play, and he even brought two bottles of chardonnay. Lisa has a ‘Miss Rose’ case, like she saw in Bernadette Peters’ dressing room, on a backstage tour of the Shubert Theatre. Konjac, Kabuki, Doe foots, Spoolie, Lisa’s got legit tools to use. “When it comes to makeup,” she says, “always avoid dupes.” That night I was the chosen face, the excited living canvas. Lisa’s a practiced artist, her process is brisk and never tedious. She painted my lips a crimson cherry, alluring and brightly sensuous, my brows were moonlit art, my cheeks a midnight adumbrated edifice. Lisa created a special look, where rebellious edge met elegance. We took some snaps, then I washed it off - but Jammie was impressed!

I didn't know you were a piano player. This fact only came up while my palms burned with anticipation as I reached out into the stillness, searching for your hands. I found them beneath sheets and cold promises, where the fingers were dancing and the nails were scratching and you were looking to have a good time. You're good at playing the blues. A man by the name of Skye told me you knew all about snatching secrets from the moon, and as I felt the scars and scratches along your callous, quick fingers, I knew this was true. Your eyes never looked down at what you played, which is probably how they ended up this way: scarred and burned and stained a dark red. I never found out why you liked to play music so dark that it did nothing but leave bruises, ones you tried to wash away with old wash cloths and chardonnay. Or why your nickname was ***** even though your mother named you Vivian. Or why you sold me those tickets to that band you dreamed of seeing. Or why your hands started shaking whenever you were near me. Or why I'm in love with your fingers, and all the notes they've played and touched and stole. I don't mind the fact that their skin is burdened with slices of depressed, quiet peace, or the way your eyes turn blue even though they're supposed to be green. I can only hope in the wake of all these sad revelations, that your fingers will remain on those black and white keys, and tomorrow you'll still be playing.

Buy me chrysanthemums Not lavandula or geraniums Or phalangium with their low hanging bulbs Why don’t you know I love chrysanthemums! Chrysanthemums, Dahlia…Hera…Willow? Lillian! Lillian, How could I take chrysanthemums from Lillian? You should know. I shouldn’t have to say anything! You should know. Buy me Viognier Not Muscat or Chardonnay Or Furmint with its corky taste Why don’t you know I love Viognier! Viognier, Vionnier…Vienne…Vienna? Dalmatia! Dalmatia, How could I take Viognier from Dalmatia? You should know. I shouldn’t have to say anything! You should know. Dalmatia, near Sibenik From where I dine on scallops, Or do you not know that I love scallops? If not then you should know that I love fickle, false and fair It’s my nature and you are my nurture If you did not know then know this, love’s a hapless farce

Pinot this and pinot that This young Grenache is a trifle flat Better to try and get along With a slightly older Sauvignon I sometimes get a trifle low When dabbling in a cheap Merlot And so to scare the blues away Will sip a spendy Chardonnay But to avoid real ennui Drink super Oregon Pinot Gris And let’s be quite awfully frank That’s much better than Chenin Blanc But while you sort out your Pinot Give a break to Grignolino It’s good, but not the same as A bold and cheeky Oz Shiraz And if you want to go very far Don’t ignore local Pinot Noir It always sells well on the block And I wonder who likes Marechal Foch As I was supping a cute Barbera At a certain State affaira Things got quickly very highbrow When someone mentioned Muller Thurgau It is no lack of vinous respect That makes us scorn the best Malbec And can you find me a single fan Of that very odd vine, Carignan? If one must go to a grapey hell There’s good company in Zinfandel But if we really must go Could we have some Nebbiolo? In the end we all agree Any wine is better free But if not free we’ll surely call Any wine beats none at all!

Pinot This And Pinot That
There is a time between us, when the pebbles of the sea and the darkness of the moon will seem one. Where the lilies and the starlight falls, and my hands and bones will sleep. See in our sleep, the world can be one, and the flowing waters will be like Chardonnay. Our memories will sing so wild and free. Under the moonlight, before your lips, I give you my breath and the secret beneath my soul, where my soul falls underneath. Awestruck and charmed by the precious jewels, in your eyes. You are my beloved, Leaving my breath to you, my very life, I lift you up like a rose stretching for the sea.

Going skinny dipping on a warm night in July Got my blanket, some Chardonnay And one big happy Smile I know a quiet stretch of shoreline It is so sublime For dressing down for skinny dipping On a warm night in July Not a care does my heart own tonight The moon is full The tide is high And yes, the time is right And as I run  I start to peel The layers that fence me in I’m running down that sandy strip Back to how we all began Going skinny dipping on a warm night in July All I got for company is Ocean and sky I love this quiet stretch of shoreline It just suits me fine For dressing down for skinny dipping On a warm night in July My heart is beating lighter My skin no more a slave Emancipated flesh and bone Just dreaming on a wave ~~~~~ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh You know the hands of time Don’t ever wait for any gal or guy Gonna run into this moment Gonna dive into this moment And just float upon the moment Skinny Dipping on a warm night in July

Skinny Dipping
. Take this, this poem with torn, tattered edges Stuff it in pockets of jeans faded blue Tell all the people who teeter on ledges Nothing is worse if you have not a clue Shatter this pen flowing ink made of fire Charring the castles where dragon wings fly Fanning the flames that a sad heart has started When every stanza now ends in goodbye Fracture the vase that once sat in the window Emerald green with a chardonnay shine Toss me the shards till you see I am bleeding Now have some cheesecake, a nice glass of wine Bury these dreams so they fade in the morning Hidden from sunlight and coated in dew Roll out the leaves in the cover of autumn Springtime for me is now long overdue

Now have some cheesecake
After 6 PM, four glasses of Chardonnay; Jekyll turns to Hyde.

Sundown: A Haiku
She faded into the oblivious shadows of night, The mardi-gras converted from dawn to daylight. Where she danced elegantly in ballroom raves She etched her body to the rhythm flowing in waves. Her hunger was lustful in her eternally gazing eyes, She kept her secrets beneath beauty's seductive gaze, But when heart beats drowned out the soulful harmony Penetrating eyes hummed on gullible  minds uncertainty. Her burgundy lips etched on life's needing of lustful kisses, Eager thoughts on this chardonnay on lips it glistened. Drained off needing, she rested them peacefully in death Never noticing until departed that they are exempt of breath. Invigorated she released the energy of life on the dancefloor Day descended into nights embrace, so she left out the backdoor, Upon the streets she smiled at the masks hiding her secrets When an invite did fall in to her hands, her next feed on a leaflet.

Mardi-gras Masks Of Secrets
~ The sunrise blushes in sunflower chardonnay braids on soft merlot clouds as if it has heard my whispers of love sent to you upon sweet pea breezes this perfect vintage morning

The sunrise blushes
We sat cozily on the couch listening to Miles Davis She, curled up with a glass of Chardonnay, me, a warmed brandy snifter It seemed an eternity since we made time for each other like this We enjoyed our home in silence, absent our attention grabbing offspring at Grandma's. I savored the scent of her lavender infused body snuggled in my arms Her beautiful brown eyes reflected flickered light The candles we transplanted from our earlier bath, burned slowly And "Kind of Blue" transported us as we held each other. "May I have a sip of your brandy?" she asked coyly with a smile on her face "Of course," I handed her my glass "Not from your glass," her smile turned into a mischievous grin The vanilla and oak from the brandy permeated the air above the gulp I took into my mouth. My heart rate increased, my eyes closed, and our smiles met pressed together; Heaven is real... Her lips parted, she pulled the brandy from me along with my tongue that now danced with hers The fire of the brandy that left my mouth warm, now slid down her neck in one smooth swallow We took great care in kissing each other, sensuously, passionately, time stood still, for us. Luxuriating in this kiss, a tear fell from her eye, met only with the tears that fell from mine As our mind's eye recalled the love we have endured over these adventurous years together Brandywine never tasted this divine as from the lips of my beautiful lover Lightheaded, more so from her than from the alcohol, I smiled and held her closer to me. "I Love you Husband!" "I Love you more Wife!" -----ChawzzyScript

You sit in the cabinet Pristine and untouched Gathering dust We used to celebrate Together Birthdays, anniversary’s Valentine’s day Now there is no celebration You have no use for me I long for the day when you’re happy again And you fill me with velvet red wine Or sparkling chardonnay
