The Shadow Dance

The tantalizing timber

Of whispers in the dark

Shadows no longer slumber

But emerge upon a lark

Scintillating sounds encourage

That which should be bound

Two shades released to dance

Just before the dawn

Gleefully they intertwine

Euphoric in their freedom

Just as suddenly spellbound

Forced back into their tomb

They go restless and raging

Like hell hounds they howl

Creativity will not be bound

Words Indeed

One word, Indeed

Conveys so much

Or so little…

Clever quip or

Desultory derision?

Allusive agreement or

Indolent indifference?

Eager expectation or

Concise conclusion?

Voice emotes--

Text provokes!

A limerick

There was an old gal

Who found herself single

She looked for a pal

With whom to co-mingle.

Just a simple fuck

Was all that she needed

But found most men suck

And finally conceded.

Mentor

Passion given

But not received

Lessons taught

But overlooked

Wisdom imparted

But not perceived

Lust mistaken for desire

Delightful, Delectable, Disaster

Autumn Flower

Delicately defiant

Her lacy lazy leaves

Translucently surround

Curly crepes swirling about

That pubescent pink pollen

A shy flower that awaits

Breathlessly and swollen

Taken, but not to be stolen

Time is of the essence

As her beauty is fleeting

Age is her obsolescence

And she needs completing

Old Soul

I’m an old soul

Might not see it

And never know

It’s a subtle wit

Young souls always fail

As they have no eye

For seeing holy grail

And no reason to ask why

No journey and no reason

For life is always boredom

With no changing of the season

And no desire for final wisdom
