Did It Prevent Your Sun Kissed Dreams?

Father that sundial, is it death…
Is it Father - the hand of death?
Is it the sword that cuts short a bird's flight?

'Child, we're all adjacent, the window of life.

The window of light…'

O' Father is it a guillotine!
Does it covert our breath…
O' Father how, much, time
Do we have? Left…

'Child, we're all adjacent, the window of life.

Until the bird in your soul, takes flight'.

'Child, a question - answer your father this.
Did it prevent your sun kissed dreams? Last night.'

So What Has Become Of The Yard Bird?

The wind and the rain gather you.
Like petals on a rain storm
So what has become of the yard bird?
That stirred the captive rainbows
To your and my finger tips

What has become of the rose?
That danced off her dew wet shadows
And sang adjacent the jasmine stars
Sweetly scented at the first cut of hay

That lay in sobrieties corn circles
That lay in bed on this coarse way
A filly jumping over any such hurdles
Whatever happened to us…?

When did you slip through my fingers?
Like a broken rainbow
Like a rose long cut
No fresh water can ever save anymore…

I Bought You A Rose

the problem is
the grandfather clock
in the adjacent room
it chimes
on the hour
every hour
through the night
it keeps me awake
through the night
the night in which
i think of you
because
i hold the rose
in my hand
through the night
the rose that i bought you
in the afternoon
the rose that you did not want
in the evening
the evening when i took you out

The doors of heaven and hell are adjacent and identical.

To love and not be able to be together is like to ride in different cars on adjacent lanes - we ride side by side, we look to the windows of our cars, we smile at each other, but we can not change.

Drip Dry Man

I woke up this morning
and there against the adjacent wall
stood a dark figure near the radiator.
An intruder trying to keep warm?
As my eyes became more focused
the figure became clear.
It was none other
than the drip dry man.

O'.. He Changes His Stance

A teenage girl feels
While she sleeps,
she feels and dreams her lover
sits adjacent to her shoulder;

While she startles and awakes,
the lover onsite disappears,
O'..he changes his stance
instantly into her heart!

How could you

graduate of a provincial Belly Dancing School
Belinda barefoot on the tiles
adjacent to her swimming-pool

evoked Salome
for the 'coffee-morning set'
and to polite applause
removed the seventh veil

how the polystyrene dromedaries paled
and the moon dipped low
behind the cardboard minarets

yet Turkish-delight was spoiled it seems
by what she did with the tambourine
