The speakers crackled as the booming female voice announced, “Sweet Love Train leaving in five minutes.” The doors clacked open As the conductor stepped outside. “All Aboard!” he bellowed in his deepest baritone. I watched as the passengers lined up to...
I used to read books once It had a beginning, a middle, and an end Now I just type a bunch of letters Then hit send. I used to carry photos They made my wallet fat Now I just slide back and forth on my phone I guess that takes care of that. I used to...
I’m a six-banger Hammer-fanner Rapid fire lover. I’m fully loaded On the prowl Looking for action under covers. Target defined Weapon drawn Gunsmoke and powder. Bullseyes amassed Handle is notched Cries getting louder and louder. As chambers turn...
Someone asked “What is Love?” As if the answer would make it real. Love isn’t words or phrases said. It’s just simply what you feel. Lessons in love are painfully clear. There’s no books or homework given. You win, you lose, a prize is claimed. It’s wha...
More often than not I deserved what I got. For shadows are meant to protect. I wandered at times And missed all the signs Too many boxes I neglected to check. The light hurts my eyes The hero always dies A lesson I tend to forget. It’s best in the s...
I have walked the path of the ancient ones. Each step made me stronger. Wiser. Fearless. I don’t suffer the antics of fools. Nor do I tolerate the pretense of substance. Heavy is the granite of my principals. Cracked by forces meant to weaken me. Wedges a...
I saw you. I saw all of you. Walking in the sunlight. Without cover. As if you were immune to harm. Believing that bad things only happen to others. All the while from the shadows danger lurks. Lying just behind the line between light and dark. Where I am...
I opened a can of beans As paper towels unfolded Cats under feet Spoons dropped in musical note Doorbell rings Disturbing sublime lazy Yet curiosity blooms To be disappointed Wall to wall carpeting Beneath socked feet Pathways marked By traipsed bi-pe...
There is no magic in the things I do A look, a smile, and lowered eyes I make the dream all about you Payment received from your moans and sighs. There’s nothing special about me at all A model or movie star I’ll never be Yet, late at night, I’m the one...
I searched behind the harbor mist Where craving lips had once longed to kiss But fate was hiding one last twist That pillowed moment did not exist. Dreams are meant to take you places Your mind unpacks familiar faces Grasping at the barest traces Agains...
Here’s a poem I just wrote It doesn’t matter about what or who There’s nothing here for you to quote I just needed to get to 132. I’m number 12 on the SS list And looking up Mysteria27’s (148) dress Then Adagio (173) and Fuzzy (176) can’t be missed Frog...
The lion strode proudly from the bush into the open tundra. Unafraid of being seen. The shoulder high grass failing to hide his massive mane. He canted his head as a scent in the air told him she was near. A small throaty growl gives notice that he is awa...
It was your nature. Walking to the edge. Lifting your foot into temptation. Always pulling back at the last minute. This time was different. Stepping forward instead of back. The rush of excitement. The exhilaration of taking a chance. Too late the danger...
There is this place. Magical. Mythical. Legendary. A place where, The breeze is warm. Where the scent of lavender fills the air. A place where, When you close your eyes, Only the hum of bees, And the chirping of birds is heard. There is this place. Where...
