Startled…I pulled up short
Taken aback by melancholy eyes
The visage in the portrait tore
My sight in deep surprise
...
A mind at ease puts
A smile on ones face, but sex
Can do it better
...
The spectral glow of a bobbing lantern
As if tossed upon a stormy sea
Appearing..then fading anon, absorbed
...
Of all the hues on Nature's palette
Tis the only one,
that at the same inspires,
Both passion and dread
...
Something about things
Small and furry
Something about things
...
This morning I had eggs
Sunny side up
Cooked in the grease
Of sage pork sausage
...
In a flight of silken silence
Wings of velvet stroke
Pinions soft as melted butter
With touch as light as smoke
...
Although my dearest beloveds
Have carried with them
A goodly portion
of my love and affections
...
All am I now
Is poetry
The man I used to be
...
