"discotheque" poems
I Through vines indeterminate Red cherry eyes peeped, And spied two forms, Fleshy pink and brown Trees, tangled at the roots, kissing in the canopy. II The garden was our Discotheque, the sullen Moonlight reflected On the Black Beauties, Twisted black mirrors, in the garden of joy. III O, to again be mov'd By your heirloom lips, I'd give it all, the earth, the sun, and the water. A sacrifice: my Homesteads, for a home. IV Soil runs dry. The sun scorches. Plagues run rampant. We burn, we are sacked and pillaged, and destroyed. Roma, Roma, Roma. V. Maybe the rain, Or sweet shade, Or gentle sun, Or simply the need To be so defiantly alive, will bring us again, And I will drink you up again,   Brandywine.

A Tragedy in Five Tomatoes
As I rounded the hill Face to face with the still That I'd only heard rumors spoke of With no one around I sat myself down And proceeded to sample the stuff As sweet as honeydew melon Got my feet to a geling Made me feel like I did in my youth Sat with a dumb gaze for a while Then got the biggest of smiles When it came to me what I should do So I went with my plan And opened a stand Right there on the mountain side When word in the forest got out I never had any doubt That all of the critters would be stoping by You should have seen them all  guzzle As the squirrels ordered doubles Then proceeded to tell wild nutty lies It was quite the fiasco When they brought out the cowboy hats and  lasso's As the party went well into the night They paid in nuts and berries Which was fine by me With them I made different flavors of shine In flavors I made 32 So I wouldn't get sued By Baskin-Robbins who has 31 at this time From all the flavors I made Boysenberry was the fav The raccoons made up a dance called the boysenberry crawl Which was a big hit At the discotheque The beavers built in the early fall We made a deal I would sell them my swill For a little piece of the pie We were all getting rich I have to admit It's quite the relationship, the beavers and I Of course the beavers got greedy You know how beavers are needy Couldn't leave well enough alone Figured they had the right Who's going to pay for these lights That make this the best disco in town They started charging a cover Which didn't go over As well as they would have liked Plus they doubled the price of the ***** Which left little food On the woodland creatures tables at night Things went from bad to worse When they started to curse Me, "The Man" for the troubles they had I barely made it out alive By the skin of my hide When I packed and hit the road mighty fast Things had been going so well Before it all went to hell And me and my still were forced to leave Now still to this day You know why I always say That famous line, passed down in time "Leave it to Beav"

The Still (Leave It To ******

Girls just want to have fun And I'm the hopeless romantic I wanna dance with somebody who loves me Sure, she's a Maneater And she's still Holding out for a hero I don't care Sweet dreams are made of this I won't hold back now I'm so excited I release the epic Eye of the tiger I'll make you scream and Jump for my love This truly is The final countdown I'll make sure you Give it up Just promise me that you'll Wake me up before you go-go. Because baby, Our 80's playlists will have such beautiful children.

80's Discotheque Remix
our withering is changing. we have new lungs and the sour mercy of our discotheque is no longer earth shattering. new bells that'll ring, ping the sonar of thus far, and right now. our iguana is bothered but our cactus is out of practice, so we malice the wrong people. brown scotch botched in the locust plume of our nothingness. all in the night jar. we palm the coin of many realms but snooker the genie into 4 wishes for kicks. we split the bucket list and enlist strange agents to embroil the liturgy of our silence with the umbrage of our slumbers. where rumbles the blunder of our measured steps as we stumble through the rapscallions of our private thoughts in the after hours. we empower our oblivion by kissing on the mouth. this is how we keepsake sacred, but escape velocity by way of quiet... this loud.

The Night Jar
Once, I thought of you as one usually does Of some sort of mythical being. Your presence only in conversations, Drunken confessions, A slightly blurry photograph on a phone, Your name becoming a by-word for Intense ****** attraction. Once, I met you at the discotheque, Your raven hair swirling around a Black-clothed, willowy frame As you partook of your personal bacchanal, A private smile meant for my companion On your kissable lips And in your unfathomable eyes. Once, you left me tongue-tied and shy, Blushing furiously as I searched in vain For words that usually Happily danced on my tongue. We left each other that night Without having spoken past polite greetings, And I was bitterly regretful. Once, I decided to love myself, And began to become almost beautiful, Shedding layers of flesh and fear And though I had long forgotten your face I resolved that were I to see you again, Both smiles and sentences would Easily flow and you might learn of me. Once, I took that risk, Sending you a message full of sarcastic And clever comments laced with charm. This time I was ready To set aside all of my misgivings, Ignore your intimidating beauty, And let myself peek through and smile. Once, I thought it utterly impossible That someone like you may notice me, But after a year of meditation and peace, I now know I was too afraid to be noticed. Even if you lose interest and look elsewhere, I still consider this quite the triumph, For you were part of why I searched for myself.

I’ve felt lost Like tangerines being pushed into the Discotheque of animosity slowly murdering each other’s nebula with Arms crossed over and eyes blazing joints among the durable and dangerous Architectures where the faculties of the skull No longer admit the worms of the senses How much time may be disjointed while everyone Takes to their wondering sky The glass floor the rock beaten path The somber shadow of neglect justifies My hiding from the world somewhere I shatter into a billion pieces and slowly the collapse remembers how it once Felt the ugly ball of lights thrusting each beam into my skin A metallic taste in my mouth The groovy red liquid that makes life dependable as painted laughs Migrate to the other side of dawn No one hopes for anything Let it all disintegrate into the coming rainfall Gathering in small odd shaped holes all over the cities belly Barbwire disguises melancholy gasps of breath I’ve seen you in those hours where anything can happen And it does No longer waiting at the long table No response no self doubt My particles coagulate in my throat The simple thought disappears A night of unrest turns your skin inside out as The violence escalates into silent picture mode Only thirst recovering from three days of religion And no explanation is needed I know when all those beautiful sad laughs you send out on every Other month finally arrive I’ll be ready to open my eyes Hold my hands out and receive you in full Is this your spirit? Or the glare coming off the street lamps Just close the door And lose all memory of me

The Faculties Of The Skull No Longer Admit The Worms Of The Senses
I’ve felt lost Like tangerines being pushed into the Discotheque of animosity slowly murdering each other’s nebula with Arms crossed over and eyes blazing joints among the durable and dangerous Architectures where the faculties of the skull No longer admit the worms of the senses How much time may be disjointed while everyone Takes to their wondering sky The glass floor the rock beaten path The somber shadow of neglect justifies My hiding from the world somewhere I shatter into a billion pieces and slowly the collapse remembers how it once Felt the ugly ball of lights thrusting each beam into my skin A metallic taste in my mouth The groovy red liquid that makes life dependable as painted laughs Migrate to the other side of dawn No one hopes for anything Let it all disintegrate into the coming rainfall Gathering in small odd shaped holes all over the cities belly Barbwire disguises melancholy gasps of breath I’ve seen you in those hours where anything can happen And it does No longer waiting at the long table No response no self doubt My particles coagulate in my throat The simple thought disappears A night of unrest turns your skin inside out as The violence escalates into silent picture mode Only thirst recovering from three days of religion And no explanation is needed I know when all those beautiful sad laughs you send out on every Other month finally arrive I’ll be ready to open my eyes Hold my hands out and receive you in full Is this your spirit?

We were victims of the night, the chemical, physical, kryptonite Helpless to the bass & faded light Oh, we were bound to get together, bound to get together She took my arm, I don't know how it happened We took the floor and she said, "Oh, don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me" I said, "You're holding back" She said, "Shut up & dance with me" This woman is my destiny She said, "Oh, oh, oh, shut up & dance with me" A backless dress & some beat up sneaks, my discotheque, Juliet teenage dream I felt it in my chest as she looked at me I knew we were bound to be together, bound to be together Deep in her eyes, I think I see the future I realize this is my last chance She took my arm, I don't know how it happened We took the floor & she said, "Oh, don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me" I said, "You're holding back" She said, "Shut up & dance with me" This woman is my destiny She said, "Oh, oh, oh, shut up & dance with me"

Forty Six . Shut Up & Dance
across the room your footsteps click when you see my eyes roll back just know you did this as my vision goes black this room has a wonderful indigo atmosphere you and i are burning scarlet red the jealous grass withers brown here the mornings we just lay in bed can almost taste it on my tongue the sweetness of your morning voice nostalgia for when we were young and didn't have a choice such a sweet treat to my ear and you're laughing into the curve of my neck "a dance to our song, dear" Enjoy the Silence at the discotheque touching you is coming home to me drawing in close when night is too cold when the lights in your eyes reflect the city we make promises, we'll never get old there can't be another feeling like this you're from another world it seems where there are six for you and i exclusively

Another day, another night. You say their debt outweighs their death. Logic dispels the search through trash and mildewed lore. Makeup runs and your choices stay. Becoming much thinner now yes? The air is unintelligible. These things will last. Abandoned not loved, the fate of your newest choice; a most crystalline series of poor choices, calculated missteps and those carefree mistakes. Like the smoke flown from your lungs over the roof of neon discotheque. Either/or. You smell of spoiled treasure. Move past the decay, past perfumes and powders. There is you, skeletal and shaking on a small bed in the middle of a dark place with a hint of light all around you, shadows form on the edge, the mythos surrounding your empty head, but never bending to enlighten you. Stay still.

Between the Butcher & Policeman
[Since the season has been a bit overwhelming for me, I wanted to share a children's poem from my earlier collections. Hope you enjoy this other side of my personality ;-)] DIGGIN’ Doug dug a hole to China And there upon the way Another Doug was digging To see the U.S.A. Doug and Doug stopped digging Then heard more digging sounds. A shovel came protruding And Dougie was inbound. Dougie, Doug and Doug sat down, And I’m not kidding you, The dirt collapsed above them And Doug the Fourth came through. Eight more Dougs came digging, A dozen Dougs in all. It felt so overcrowded They dug four mammoth walls. Now, middle earth’s a party, So if you dare the trek, Come dancing down with diggers At 12 Dougs Discotheque. Steve Roberson

Diggin'
I was never one for dancing, But I was always interested in the view Tonight was no exception. The music played your theme Your hips moving, to rhythms My feet would soon forget. My heart fluttered Matching the tempo of drums Then Pounding faster. As your twists mesmerize. The lights play games of tag On the ceiling, Across the walls, On the floor, Across your curves. I'm swallowed by your visage. As the room follows your lead. Spinning, Twisting and contorting Carrying you towards me Or me towards you. I no longer can tell. Your eyes sparkle In between the strobe. Inviting me to join you As my body learns a second language. First clumsily, but Each second brings fluency. We are lost in each other. Letting the music Hypnotize. Our bodies, symbiotic. Energy pulsing- Through each other, Into each other. During a moment of clarity I think. If she drank a poisoned cocktail. I might ask the bartender for what she's having.

Discotheque Juliet
When I was in hostile environment training in Manchester I picked up this butterfly pendent for you but never presented it Because of your ludicrous inkling, that true friends should never exchange gifts; When I first met you working at that coffee shop back home I was trying to woo you by writing poetry but I failed and read them on my own; When I was 20 occupied in Dubai I was rationalizing what adventures you might have ventured in to While observing the city ***** ****** monoliths of sand cement and glass; When I was stuck in an airport in Pakistan, I saw a humming bird and a blue plastic bag Arbitrarily floating in the air, then thought of your indigo hair band Which you use to wear, hopelessly on your left arm When I was watching the Formula 1 back in Bahrain I watched the race cars firm pass And wondered how our time together also expired just as fast; When I was 23 - enduring in the war tore city of Baghdad I meant to write but there was nothing stimulating In that hell hole to write for your innocent soul to have ever grasped Hence I held my silence steadfast I spared you the misery when I failed to communicate the wounds I received in Ballad (a US Air force base in Iraq); Then when I was in the ***** fields in the Kanoon province of  Afghanistan I discovered that ****** is almost as intoxicating & addictive as you When I was in a discotheque in New Castle, I saw a girl with a butterfly tattoo Reminded me of how you spread your wings and flew away with someone more attuned to you When I was in a seafood restaurant in Singapore, I ordered a Unagi sushi (I did not even eat it) Only to induce the aroma of your favourite dish as it evoked the sweet memory of you When I was in a 15 hour layover in Male sinking my feet in the sea sand I simply wished that you were there with me holding my hand When I was once stuck in the metro in London I allegedly meant to send a postcard But got distracted by the fact that you were engaged to another hence it was excruciatingly hard After a Coldplay concert ended in Liverpool I saw this little Irish lass And thought how beautiful your children might take after your beautiful stance When I was visiting a castle in Edinburgh oh! How I wished I have secured a castle for you And how I should have said those 3 words more often than I ever moved around without you

Honor, I wear a discotheque Like, a clown's first dance Integrity, comes for permission, wicked Opinion, salt and pepper on an egg, is a demon's problem Little more, than a thank you Sassafras, is no hap's ecstasy In the proud and angry due... We made a frank photograph, your drunk intimacy... Is a pardoned stare, at faerie tales Meant upheld, upheaval is a wager Of a world, with no clash with vice fail's Proper though, in the name of fate's mere Mercy, with an extra shirt Ready for a pant's relent, regret In an unescapable kiss, of hurt And possessing quaintness, we are the boding let... Witness the gasp... Of a spirit, erudite to a finish Of levity, long before callous can ask Is it all right, to wink at liberty's wish?

I dreamed a nightmare just last night I dreamed a nightmare what a fright Your hands, they shook as they gripped my throat Your weary eyes somehow seemed to gloat "Look at my prize" they seem to say "I said I'd come for you one day" Those words you spat upon my face like marks on paper, you cant erase those awful things you did to me and now you're climbing up a tree with rope in hand you tie a knot and then you say "Oh, I forgot" You grab my wrist and pull me close "Now its time for 'Adios'" You tie the noose around my neck bright lights surround, like discotheque   and as you place me on the chair I recognize that auburn hair the way it frames your little face you're evil but you look like grace you look into my eyes eyes and say you'll never see another day you pull the chair and all I see are my own eyes looking back at me I wake up as cold sweats surround the dead of night, not a single sound my breath is fast my face is red and my mind...my mind it wants me dead

I dreamed a nightmare
are you ? that's when the wind changed, when i asked. it dropped the last last of a  thousand afters - and wrapped the tinsel laughing in the foyer of our discotheque. that's when the elder proof took root in the cognizant. bore fruit and  [ clasped  rafter. ] and perhaps a winsome blasting... though annoying, it's our affect. but are you ? yet ? and who's left to true ? disaster ?

are you ?
(20 minute poetry) If bothered is the place to be I can't be bothered to go and see the sights. Sleepless under strobing lights in the discotheque to which I own the rights. It's cold in the pinball this morning, the heating is long overdue the captain is ****** at the controls so what can the traveller do? Again it's off key or perhaps it's just me, too many nights on the floor and I'm losing the will to survive, but that's nothing new to the man who's been through the mill. In Rotherham they can't be bothered when, but not all Rotherham men are alike. and I'm in London being stood on standing on the tube. Maybe bothered is the face, palm, slap the trap that we all fall for or maybe it's not if I could be bothered to bother I'd take the time to investigate more. Tuesday's plain awful and it gives me a headache I should really sleep on and not be bothered to wake Soon be done time to run the next stop belongs to me.

Sheena Is a Punk Rocker, by the Ramones
Met a girl in Memphis, home to Mississippi, 4am to Tunica or Tupelo, I got lost in the mix of it. She stole my breath that morning, knocked the wind out of me, lost the lights of the discotheque, we were pollinating free. Psilocybin chocolates and silk ******* stars as far as eyes could see, city lights replaced by fireflies, the Delta's soul soothes a detoured man's decree. Scent of perfume or poison, could have been the peonies, moon shined on domestic horses, staring back cautiously. Breeze sang static harmonies through the telephone wires, And we whispered our hearts desires. If you asked us, about the world back then, We'd have a laugh for an answer for you my friend.

I. A little pakalolo for you and me to light up, can you hear the tom-tom of the beat, dissolving into a smooth sax… That night in the discotheque, my god, you were so handsome under neon lights, swaggering with your schoolboy smile. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of the green-golden-halo around your iris, inviting me in to adore you. In the space of bodies, I grasped for the untouchable, so greedy for this tenderness stretching out in the dark heat like a fat cat in the sun. You left east. I smell you on my skin, I smell freshly mowed grass, wash drying in the wind, the pure air of the high mountains. I never really touched you after all. II. When you spoke, I only heard your voice, the melody, its joyous tremolo, its tired flatness, the deep bass arising from the middle of a storm. We never called each other by our names. We didn’t need to. I walk to the open window, below, the busiest street in the city, silent at 2 am. The air is buzzing with uncertainty. Just a minute ago, your tiny room was drowning in light so orange. I thought that sunset would last forever. Forever? I’ve wanted you more than anything, more than sanity, more than life itself. For ever ever? The sky melted into ink. It meant goodbye. III. It’s your song that moves within me what can be voiced only in clichés, as if I couldn’t talk about the deep end of love without comparing it to a gushing river, turning gentle into rough then gentle again. Pisces Moon – next lifetime maybe, you'll be free and I'll be brave and we won't know each as we do. If it's real, does it matter, what kind of love we're given?

Beat in the blues the musky smell of smoke slithering in and out of nostrils- dragon like dancing to the ceiling and the drums bop, hard as muscle women gyrate to the pulse of passion sounds embrace lovers heading into the mist of night. Between the banter snorters ****** in coke and cannabis wasted in the aisles of wonder glancing at the lights flickering in the rooftops of their eyes, seeking angels of mercy to take them deep into the oblivion of emptiness. The midnight gong sounds shattered as we huddle in the days of the darkness of unreason wallowing in the madness of the music and breaking every rule that kept us trapped in the cages of that society . As I look back now, leafing through the years I cut through the morass of tradition and broke free from the shackles of sensibility and found my feet in a wild, wild world where nothing mattered I am now rested at the journeys end waiting for the skyline to blow up in flames.

I once bore witness to no soggy corner, a seedy cinema, or a vile discotheque   when out in the open, the somnolent air on face smashing the distance   often times misappropriated as meaning, or desire – that we hold no choice   to circumstance and acquiesce: I have become consequently obsequious as in April’s proper warmth swallows the coldness of metal and mostly words; it was when nights are spent without maps – roads and their meanings,     separated by lines – washed with the squalid metropolitan living, down from the urban thresh to the empyrean glower of a slow moon beginning   to ignite in someone else’s but mine only and nobody else aches and persistent meanings, a hand reopening    a long-forgotten dusk –  painted anew with a chance never off-tangent    but always at the cynosure of things    this glass with rondure of your face, the valve of shower    your hands or simply the droning sound of driving homeward          that I cannot escape, a voice leaning in, saying something     in the calm wind.

Radio Talk
We met in the heat of the discotheque they played the sixties all night long afterwards I jumped the queue for kebabs and you had Shish, Later still, the hesitation before a kiss frightened I'd miss the moment but never did and confirmation of a further assignation at the discotheque where we met next Saturday night feels like a hundred year wait until we get back on the dance floor and gyrate once more to the beat I can still feel the heat of your lips. It's not wishing on a star that has brought me this far it's the red vauxhall viva my fathers old car she sits under the hanging dice, I think our names on the windscreen would look rather nice she says no and I go along with her.

Early seventies
.when sounds replicate strobe-light effects of a discotheque; ending up looking -esque: till ledemann. madman:     every time i listen to some static-x, i turn into a complete meat-head, headbanging after ******* into the throne of thrones... eh?    marvel universe, and the current movies? i left the whole party with the x-men movies...    apocalypse was always my ultimate villian anti-thanos...    the whole nordic theology inclusion... n'ah...   left that ******** with logan and...        that antithesis of Elvis cover of a nine inch nails' song.
