Gifts
These were just my gifts to you
from places deep inside
A diamond heart that flickers fire
Eyes fixed lazerly on you
Ears that lie in wait for your faintest russle
Arms as strong as armies minus any violence
Lips that love to breathe you in
As if you were my soul

White Hot Wonders
We look in to find white wonders
look out dangers unawares
wired to supernovae campsites
with pots of ashen grit
Turn up the volume
on my misgivings
so I can take back
the leavings of my soul
No fortune teller drinks here
No blind psychic sees the shapes of tea

To Alienate
To alienate and never burp
That is the task for me
Come diving in from outer space
No name, no mission, no place
Eat you, your words, but leaving something else
There'll be no destruction in this wake
footprints of tears...yes....lei of love
and...ok.... a playful wink of scorn
but it was all written in the sand
anyway

Yes You Are MY Hero...or is it heroin
You have always been my hero
With your brave and sullen face
scoffing at the world
afraid of no disgrace
And scoffing at religion too
while clinging to a twig
my dear I've never seen your hair
but I won't lift up your wig
I think you must have pulled it out
but really that's ok

Thanks For all the Ones you Gave
Thanks or all the ones you gave
I shall treasure them
since I know they came from you
That you took your precious (precocious) time
to read the blather I've lathered here
for you
I know each one was carefully wrought
made especially for me
anyway I would be remiss if I didn't thank you
for all your trouble
and yes...you are always right

For Russia With Love (and all who hurry to greatness
Sing me effervescent melodies
light as bubbles in your stream
bring moments brimmed with ecstasy
yet never wear my scream
all your best things have their caveat
darker places...caviar
while the bear in hibernation
tarries longer at the bar
what he oughta done is dance
drink champagne with all the girls
in the end fall off the map
making apple pie

Can't unwish the world
You can't unwish the world love
it is this way for a reason
people wanted it so bad
every expectation is a prayer
desires spoken become
hopes treasured explode in jeweled colors
it will be this way till
the wish-tiller turns the boat
another way....onto shadier creeks
on calmer afternoons

Who Blows that Nor'easter
From Walgreen's Pharmacy
a pink stuffed bunny rabbit
that sings 'Jesus loves me'
for a frantic foster girl-child at Easter
(where's your occidental mind?)
hmmmm....Just what the DR ordered?
is a metaphor for what?
A holiday completely morphed
...but does it know yet?
One wonders what future forensic morphology
will show
No wonder God made adultery against the law.

Scarecrow Soul
All poems written to slight someone
are poems full of inner pain
not for the one intended scorn
but for some petty gain
Oh, your the BIG SHOT
put him down
while he was lying on the floor
You're such an insult to yourself
and to your lack of be
I never had any hopes
to ever make you see
You're lost so lost in scornfield
crowin' you never stop to view your scarecrow soul

Sew Who Needs Who
You're a needling....me
like a sewing machine
I'm in stitches over you
If I wanted to be nagged
I'd clothe in leather...dragged
Don't look at my unbridled soul
Will horseshoes bring us luck?
More likely hockey falls on us
while we're chasing one good puck
I tried to slightly sew this up
in a rags to riches way
but the rags were hags
the britches were bitches
no matter what I say
