on all who have ears
I lavish wisdom – Harken!
what a fool I am…
Heavenly Matters
to see the future
is to know all creation
and make something new
four billion years
it took me to make this world
and now look at it
Stay in your garden!
Let angels guard your virtue
from pleasures divine…
the road to heaven
is paved with gold and glory…
Beware false prophets!
why does the pursuit
of those heavenly delights
lead us straight to hell?
Lilith the Very
What utter contempt she Had!
as the poet says…
only in heaven
can the celestial fire
be endured for long
alternatively:
celestial fire –
the spirit soars
from withering flesh
Miscellaneous
in space, an hourglass
the sand set free to measure
universal time
nothing can escape
tick… tock…
the sweep of my hands
her armour is white
her honour guarded by steel!
but iron corrodes…
words scream with tension
’til imagery unleashed!
– storm in a teacup
spring gives life to her
gold-graced shafts dance back and forth
all to make her smile
a worm in her guts –
a single tooth that gnashes!
turning and churning…
the pendulum swings
North to South
collecting air miles
our home far behind
yet so far in front of us
the path uncertain
constant yet changing
giver and taker of lives
insatiable thirst
lonely beggar croons
pockets of his pantaloons
stuffed with tin doubloons
clothes warm and protect
but I have you to warm me
and to protect me
a subtle signal –
his majesty’s displeasure
in a twitching tail
lazing on sheepskin…
the joyful dance of spirits
fills my heart with warmth
to be born with one –
a gift from capricious gods
who ticked the wrong box
I was once a rose…
A poet denied my name
so I caused a stink!
your black coffee scent
enriched with ylang ylang
is all that is left
the top of the world –
elevated above all
nothing can be seen
but without a fence
it would not be possible
to distinguish green
amidst the tombstones
ancient voices spring to life
the silence deafens
Errant Thoughts
dark waters a path to the moon
the lunar sands have a long memory
earthlight reveals all footprints
a glimpse of heaven is a devilish delight
a cold fury masks a chilling fire
the dark goddess drowns in waves of gold
both blood and wound the irresistible knife
the unshielded breast invites an arrow
seek the blossom but take the cherry
set in stone signed in triplicate
the nameless streets will claim you too…
A (Less) Lonely F/F Tea Party
blood from a sweetheart –
the art of penetration
and prophylaxis
seducing her prey…
she knows how blood flows sweeter
through a heart in love
beware the vampire
she smiles ever so sweetly
but your blood will flow
the girls are kissing!
the boys shout encouragement –
and are left behind…
wife in a threesome
enjoying it way too much…
husband feels left out
it’s illogical
to love only one gender
I should learn to count
an ivory chest
guarded by silk and whale bone
her greatest treasure
feather in the wind
her soft breath makes turbulence
there’s no hope for me
such fire in her breath!
gowned in a blaze of gem stones
her soft breasts exposed…
leave the jasmine woods
and follow the forest trail
to the jungle’s heart
Hic sunt dracones.
in the dark and untamed bush
a monster breathes fire
twined about her arm
the serpent’s embrace is tight
its venom etched deep
take this apple, Eve
eat and you will know pleasure
beyond mortal man
I need no master
but you can be my mistress
and my destiny
dressed in ebony
she has an air of roses
and a sting as sharp
the icing is black
flesh firm but perfectly soft
layers of sweetness
the perfect sandwich
Victoria filled with love
strawberries and cream
strawberry kisses…
perhaps I should have told her
that I’m allergic
I wish to be spread
laid on a bed of lettuce
with honey on top
And here is yet a postscript…
my vampire Suzie
into juicy nectarines
loves to sink her fangs
