Don’t dare speak up
Repeat with me
Milady sleeps
Fast-forward streams
Solarium nights
Lavish details
Siren-tailed corpse
Breaking the silence
The sound of deathbed
Amnesic smile
Subtle, sublime,
Such inner fight
The prima donna
That got the part
She was no singer!
Her saddened rhymes
Lady in waiting
She’s held at bay
Translucent playground
Far, far, away
No-one’s an angel
A gusty room
But don’t be fooled
Breaking the silence
One sleepy mirage
Got only blurred
A buzzing fly
Such inner fight
Translucent playground
Far, far, away,
Breaking the silence
She won’t obey,
The sound of Silence
Amused,
Bemused,
Male muse,
Poem brews
A writer,
Confused,
With red wine -
All infused
That muse,
Diffused
Entangled,
Untangled,
Unkind,
Yet...profound?
One poet,
One muse,
Both fused
Him obtuse
Dancing
Together,
All drunk
And bemused
One sad blues
So confused,
That muse,
But enthused -
From strong
Female poets
He cowards away
One sad blues
Amused and
Bemused,
That male museWine infused!
Untangled
And kind,
All bewitched
And profound
Like a poet
Gorging on
Deep love,
Red wine...
To the muse
You once were
And the poet
You’d fight
Amused and
Bemused
All-time muse,
This sad blues
Let us both
Fuse together
One poet,
One muse,
Under bright Moon
Blues dancing
With word love
EnthusedMale muse -
A dancer you are,
Your love rhymes
A poem
Would one day
Star
Until then…
…Au re-voir
I feel
I love
I grieve,
For your dark
Materials
Forever
Buried
Six feet under,
Preserved
In amber
Safely within the
Deep and tangled
Confines of old
Cinematic streams
I feel
I love
I grieve,
For your dark
Materials
Forever
Buried
Six feet under,
Preserved
In amber,
Safely within the
Deep and tangled
Confines of those
Bloodied dreams
I feel
I love
I grieve,
For your dark
Materials
Silenced are
Those words
For fear
Of letting out
A goodbye song,
Black dandelions
I feel
I love
I grieve,
I listen
To that soothing
Sound,
And,
With a bleeding solo,
I leave
Stony
Silence
Fighting
Light
Voice enchants
Like a crystal
Sunset
Gone,
To the point
Of no return
Smiling
Without
A smile,
And,
While smiling,
Wavering,
Wondering,
Like a crystal
Sunset
Gone,
To the point
Of no return
Slides away,
She won’t
Decay
Like a crystal
Sunset
Weakened
Word
Womb,
Breaking
Waves
Smiling
Without
A smile
And,
While smiling,
Waiting,
Wandering,
Gone,
To the point
Of no return
She won’t
Decay,
Under purple
Dusk,
She slides away
Smiling
Without
A smile
And,
While smiling,
Unweaving Wounds,
She’d slide away
Under that crystal
Sunset
A night at the opera
She had not yet had
Philistine poet
Blasphemous, mad
Oh my good lord
My mamma did play
Full blast Nessum Dorma
At my father’s wake
She may not have known
The story in full,
Yet surely she could -
Caress tenor wool
The whole church
Went silent -
All but for
Mum’s cries
The music
Went dormant
My dad
Reached the sky
And what she all wanted -
That music to lift
That spirit in silence
The soul, honored gift
Impressions,
And music,
And ashes -
So esteemed
The lyrics
Won’t matter -
Vibration
Goes deep
Impression,
Spirit,
And sound,
Precious deed
A musical ceiling -
Solemn, Fateful,
Sleep
They said goodbye,
And went to cry,
They sobbed so much,
That door,
Just slammed
She said adieu,
Goodbye,
Au revoir
Becoming truth,
Sight to behold,
Beware,
Unfold,
Belittle
Not
He said
Goodbye,
Au revoir,

They sing
Along,
With honest
Pace
Piano stars,
Au revoir,
Far cry,
To those
That loved,
And those,
That

Bright-eyed,
Dark

For your good
Night
Behave, enfants
Sleep tight.
Don’t,
Be afraid,
Of
Dark.
Black Lullaby.
I admire you
I like you
but…
You are magic
You aim high
but…
I always wished
I’d met you earlier
In silent dreams
We’d burst
The mystery
Of everything
All so tragic -
You know that!
I admired you
I loved you
You were magic
You aimed high
And meeting you
I do remember
In silent dreams
We’d burst
Macabre dance
I’d be a step nearer -
Yet you kept, always,
Stepping,
Back,
So icy sharp
You always doubted,
We slowed pace,
And I
Hit
Back
The bubbles burst
And bubbles played
Like foxy drawings
Live - that day
The mystery
Of everything, and
Macabre dance -
Those bubbles,
Burst
Like bubbles that
Explode, white magic,
Silent dreams -
Forever,
Dance
For centuries come,
And centuries gone,
Burning witches,
Loving magic,
Flying brooms -
All going tragic!
Closet witches,
Those, bewitched,
Closing shutters,
Dimmed the light
Chopped the wood
To simmer up,
That brew,
Those stakes,
And those light dreamers -
Fire them up!
To burn red souls,
And smell the ash,
Scarlet tears,
Ending up
Wetting pale cheeks
They prayed for
Light
If, and only if,
Only women
Ended up
Burning women
Their own kind!
Closet witches,
That bewitched,
Closed the windows,
Dimmed the light
Chopped the wood
To simmer up,
That brew,
Those stakes,
Those fiery witches -
Burn them up!
To burn red souls
And taste warm ash
That fiery love?
They kept all silent
If, and only if,
Only women
Ended up
Burning women
Their own kind!
Bewitched, old,
And wicked eyes,
Freezing hearts
And numbing
Kindness
Chop the wood
To simmer up
That brew,
Those stakes,
Those witches, frail -
And bring them up
Yet not burned
witches
Fly away,
Escape the flames -
Bewitched,
Deranged
Closet witches,
That bewitched,
Closed those windows
Dimmed the light
And witches are
And witches were
And witches gone
Bewitched, remain -
To no avail
Witches,
Just witches
Witches are
And witches were
And witches come
And witches gone
Enchanted fire
Numb with pain
Praying for light
Thriving in darkness
Spared witches
Flied away
Escaped the flames -
Bewitched,
Deranged
And light is gone,
And fire comes,
Bewitched,
Undone,
Deranged,
Escaped,
Unburned,
Big love!
To all those witches,
Up in flames,
Do fly away! -
With fragile
Magic
Wicked,
Loving,
Escaped,
Love burned -
Blessed the days
Of flying
Witches
A subtle line,
Some purple tinge
Over dark eyes -
A violet fringe
A yawn,
And hush,
All bored -
To deathGood Lord!
That cat
Short thread -
Long view
Along,
Strung,
A mouse -
Blue dream
Three long,
Long seconds
To cut
That string
The thread’s
All loose
The mouse
Ran off
To the opium
Den,
The cat…
Snoozed
On!
A yawn,
And hush,
That den -
All fluff
The silver
Death,
All smooth -
Gold cuff
A silent curve,
Some purple tinge,
Three long,
Long seconds,That opiumDream
One chess player.
Two chess players.
Three chess players.
Brought,
Alive,
On the checkered
Floor.
All they wanted,
Was to teach her,
How to dance
On that shiny
Board.
One chess player.
Two chess players.
Three chess players.
Brought,
Alive,
On the checkered
Floor.
Looping, infinite,
Polished beards,
Bright,
Sad peers,
Vapid
Smoke.
They’d like,
Surely,
To play
Mind games.
Hey, chess players -
Patience,
Gone.
Ma belle,
Ponders -
There are still
Word plays.
The queen’s gambit,
Game
Still on.
All they wanted,
Was to teach her,
How to dance
The shiny
Board.
Polka dancing,
She got dizzy,
Hey, chess players,
No, means no.
One chess player.
Two chess players.
Three chess players.
Brought,
Alive,
On the checkered
Floor.
Did you know that
Dad would teach her
She’s squared-frightened
She said No.
There are still word plays
The queen’s gambit,
Hey, chess players -
Patience,
Gone.
Damn – Look at this square mess
