ooohs and aahhhs

 children spasm with excitement

the approaching night sky beckons

little fingers prod pull poke vex

but dad isn't ready yet

curiosity swells and mischief tempts

bulbous eyes that dare a glance

enthralled to fell upon a prize by chance

to rain the night sky

in an explosive dance

alongside the beat of ooohs and ahhhs

that rings all through the night

fireworks explodes to pubescent delight

while mom and dad

fancy a tryst.

my dog barks incessantly through the night

 my dog barks incessantly through the night

at ghouls and ghost

only a dogs eye can sight

for i swear

when i look

there's nothing to be seen

he barks at the wind

the trees and 

all in between

he barks at me

when i come to see

what has him acting

so strangely

he barks at shadows

cast by the moon

a shadow of his tail 

has him all swooned

he barks at cars

noise and strangers in the night

he barks at every little thing

that cause him fright

he barks at the neighbors cat

at the neighbors fence

he sits and dipense

of barking until spent

breaths

lap water 

then barks again

he barks a melody

that's well recieved it seems

for out of the night 

the howling begins

dogs and cats alike

they bark at the moon

 you came to me from cyberspace

no face

yet still i sense your smile

in haste left click 

friends list we embraced

and it's been that way for awhile

internet connections

I.M's until the A.M.

we sat and chat like that-

over a game of dominoes

the unknown become known

curiosity overwhelms us 

now were chatting over the phone

two adults

making plans to be alone

together

she walks among stars (something dark)

she walks among stars as gods bathed in blood

her bosom maggots feast

her eyes an enchanting promiscous carnelian culmination

such as one can't resist

a silent epitaph belies a deadly kiss bliss

untill nothingness

you surrender

for death is sweeter than water

gold sex and taxes

drink ye up lads and lasses

for her love discriminates not

fill ye bowels of concupiscence

and prepare to meet 

my queen

 john dies at the end

 two days in new york

random thought

 if God were visible would you see him?

or is sodom so inticing?

the tide

 i remember

when we use to walk

hand in hand

unfettered by societal glances

love uninhibited

two hearts that beat as one

when our bodies touch

and tongues entwine

sleep deprivation ensured us the moment

would not could not

be undone

no need for a sign on the door

please do not disturb!

for with every thrust

our cries of lust

left unconstrained

was enough.

a woman scorned

you sit at my table

and eat of my flesh

do my entrails warm you

of the cold outside

viscera visions of death

clouds my mind

while you lay bear my bones

does it amuse you

to watch me suffer so

for even a buzzard

shows pity

my heart pumps no more

from whence blood once flowed

a lake

as dry as

sand

 bus leaves in five minutes

might as well be five hours

one minute feels an eternity

as the rain begins to fall

memories cascade

over vibriant realities

becoming bitter

as time rushes in

and love rushes out

conversations become entanglements

divisions of independent thought

turned quickly

into perfidious satire

the thump thump thump

of your fist

against my heart head and face

i coexist but cease to exist

hiding behind an overzealous 

pair of designer sunglasses

as if donna karan

could cover up the shame of your designing

thump thump thump

fist wailing

glass shattering

relationship broken

the pieces scattered over time

thump thump

but i love you

i thought you loved me

thump

my mouth

becomes a metallic ritual

of beating ...
