Elegy in Reverse

 Overwhelmed under ink

Embraced in traces of her

Drenched in an elegy


He whispered a tale

Both strange to the tongue and mind

Yet strong as a scent on an animal farm.


Tilling time to seek a smile

He took his chance

Drawing tears in darkness.


Yet when it was dawn

Another story stood true

Awash with scarred face.


Swashed with emotion

He penned her words

Yet backwards they landed on paper.

Machine Gun Rainbows


With you!

My tongue never runs dry of words-

As it spits them like a machine gun,

Painting worlds from our imagination,

Unbound by the clock's cold reason.


With you!

My feet pivot towards sanity,

Devoting to etching rainbow on gloomy days,

Sparking life into existence when trails press close,

Unshaken by thorns ahead.


With you!

My eyes pierce beyond tangled speech,  

fixed on a future framed in fire,  

yet curious for what flickers in the now—  

sighting tomorrow, pitched in endless smiles.  


With you!

My hands trace the arc of your beauty,  

stunned by God’s chisel, how it carved you—  

flawed, divine, a paradox sculpted in light—  

each brushstroke making my soul take flight.  


With you!

My ears crave symphonies of your voice,  

its timbre a feast, honeyed and raw,  

seasoning my soul on a sunlit shore—  

our voyage etched in grins, forevermore.

Love Hurdles!


In the nude of echolalia joy
Dancing to the breeze of the moment
Driven in and out of crazy notions
Tongue held in tongues.

She drew in air paced
Body juddering to the howling moon
Soul whispering in heaven kisses
Bumping to rambling lips rhythm
Lost in fantasy.

Hand held in soul searching position
Grinding on time into joining her
Seeking reinforcement, to a broken wall
Enticed to every deep end dive
He lost sense in joy
Pleading for mercy in ecstasy.
