EASY DOES IT

Watching you sleep peacefully

as your head rests on my chest

through the still of night

creates a more powerful poem

than simple words could ever arrange

come the break of new day

 

TRICKY TRICKY

Second wind survivalist

flask of coffee secure at hip

kratom cherry bomb deliverance

hidden deep in her pocket buzz

Five ace fever junkie

getting high on the forecast

shifting winds with a love front

take it all to the chapel bell

Kiss me once with a big bang

make it twice when your tongue hangs

drip with sex lust heat wave

sweaty sheets know the feeling grows

Hang me low with the ripe fruit

pushing roses when I meet you

take the thorns for a hard fall

wind up lucky in a clover patch

Never drop when the sky cracks

yellow flash behind her brown eyes

skin flows like the river truth

drink a sip to watch the magic bloom

 

COSMIC CLIMAX

The universe ordained

our meeting

from the start

Two souls were conspired

to merge together

by the stars

Now there is no map

upon the earth

that can keep us apart

Your eternal home

is found here

resting in my heart
