Heart tossed aside like yesterday’s brilliant

wilting rose, thrown away among the

rocks left there wilting away, for

love comes then flees as velvet

petals dry and turn to

golden crinkled dust

wafting away

in howling

angry

winds.

River’s Edge

On this hot and humid midsummer’s eve the river calls to me as

bullfrogs croak in a throaty bass while a whippoorwill sings in the trees.

The sacred truth, now broken as lies spill from his lips

his tongue blood-red and thick with the stain of wine

The Siamese on Catshole Lane

She lives on Catshole Lane

with all the common cats on the Isle of Man.

She’s beautiful, hot and exotic, a pure Siamese

with almond-shaped eyes as blue as the sea

and a long graceful tail.

She, an outsider shunned by all the others

for it sets her apart from all the tail less kitties.

But there is one who loves her, a magnificent grey striped male

enamored by her beauty and that amazing tail.
