"undrape" poems
Pleat, pleat, pleat,
Fix that drape,
Cantankerous petticoat,
Is all bent out of shape,
The mirror jeers,
That's a singularly inelegant drape,
What are you gawping at,
It's time to undrape,
Watch those ankles,
Stop dancing like an ape,
How hard could it be,
To simply undrape,
In walked Mum,
Her mouth agape,
Laughing uproariously,
Got me shipshape

I found a cloak in fluttered paper,
paper that stands still...
Two stiff ends bind, enclose my yoke,
to those stories that do reveal...
Bound and stiff, yoked, yet so whimsy,
the paper doth conceal.
Undrape the cloak to become the man,
life becomes the thrill.
Never do sit still
Never do sit still
Never do sit still
The definition of Man is not thought alone...

I meditate
to alleviate
my fear of starting gates
and arriving late;
but this way's not working.
My lurking ailments
are assailants sent
from me to me
to see the pail's spent
much time
under leaky eyes
and roofs through
blurred lines in blue skies.
My demons fly higher than I.
Truths are lies alive in the
ears of who's hearing them,
and leaders are the feeders
of the power that's fearing them.
I'm searing them tearing gems
with uncertain vapors,
burning buds put in papers.
Rainy red retinas
want to undrape her
so I scream just to shake her
from myself
before I break her
from her shelf,
with rainy retinas red,
of self certain days.
I'm yearning for shades to start churning,
red back to blue,
you'll stop burning.
I want you
to stop earning
my dreary dream't gifts.
I'm still learning.

Shall I exalt your grace as season's bring?
In winter; you're a frosty glazed escape
upon the icy sculpts of harps and string,
then plays the autumn leaves, that oaks undrape.
The ochre glides as you cavort the green
till blossoms bow; to all your springlike glow,
amidst the roses we proclaim a queen!
A spring vernal upon us - you bestow.
When dew has dried by amber's master hue
and caroms off the sea the summer beams,
within akin; devotes my lovers view
that eyes azure could match the ocean's seams.
My many seasons you are in cascade!
This love shall bask in each - when one is made.

I'm awaiting to bloom
to rise through winter's ground
wash away sorrow's perfume
undrape harsh winds that wrap around
That sends a chill
this lonely breeze
as my eyes fill
cold tear drops freeze
Buried underneath snow
a precious sprout
awaiting to grow
for my time to break out
From a life that's lost
I wait through the cold
covered by frost
until I escape winters hold
Until the sun melts away
winter and pain
skies of grey
never to form again
To arise a hopeful blue
robins sing
petals come anew
as it turns to spring
I push through the earth
in my garden of recovery
to show my worth
my discovery
I've bloomed
touched by a loving shower
my colors resumed
I opened, a beautiful flower.

Atom open born energy fragrance
atmosphere bay embraces pactis'd origin heard
youth procreant *** uprights
soul proof vexes familiar stealthy fancied wondering
Backward
abased loose plunged
scabs full flags, handkerchiefs
babe Sprouting hair Tenderly,
faint perceive hints old somewhere collapses
die manifold companion lips Undrape!
silently red-faced sprawls clinking doors atop
mountains settle round luxuriant
slave friendly handsome owns I laughing
wet bodies spray sharpens lithe
steady giant for Oxen tread
consider wild sharp-hoof'd foot growing
easiest pure I resist cannot riddle grass
music battles dead fail'd set press.

A multitude of fortnights passed us by,
We passents of time, our sorrow, we tried.
A spell of brief written touches.
Time and space were arranged.
The earth turned and turned.
Time and space were burned.
The wind ceased carrying sound.
Passing time, the end inbound.
Pigeons carried the desire.
Hearts in smoldering fire.
Speed takes breath aback.
A journey, lips on your neck.
The movement, speed squared.
Our shadow never cared.
Risen to the peak of feel.
I peek and never conceal.
You and I, both sore.
The loss a shared core
The night brought silence.
Menacing unspoken words.
King and queen, both know.
The kingdom fades slow.
The sun dawns, all rays travel.
Light reveals and starts to unravel.
Secrets that we knew.
Far from too few.
All the birds fly and sing.
A message for the king.
Couriers travel back and forth.
The only direction is north.
When then the sun sleeps.
and the night creaks.
Feel what she seeks.
And speak from their beaks.
Undrape the play.
Hear what I say.
Mind tries to reason.
Such a blue season.
A wordsmith works his furnace.
The wood is scarce - he burns his.
Labouring day and night,
Keep that flame alight.
Hammer and anvil entwined.
All my words are kind.
Walk the rope, you won't fall.
If you're scared, I'll take it all.
When a chapter ends so low.
We only reap what we sow.
Cast the light, we will make it right.
The beauteous fields are in sight.
My love is free.
Come write with me.
