Poems

her kisses are hisses
she's speaking in tongues
our marital bliss is
a scream of my lungs

her scales are imprinted
tattooed by her squeeze
and eyelids are tinted
with scandalous ease

forbidden desires
mix pleasure with pain
their ritual fires
can't make me abstain

each sinuous curve
demands my attention
I live but to serve
serve what? I can't mention

she draws out her hooks
I am chilled to the bone
and yet, as she looks
I'm, as always, to stone

Travolta grooves
Sam Jackson's diction
Willis' moves
Uma's addiction
a rapid pace
plenty of friction
what's in the case?
a contradiction

a tangled mess
of words and thoughts
that coalesce
untying knots
into a sonnet
or an ode
written upon it
holy code

the planets dance, what circumstance
arranged them in their spheres
God's orchestration, or pure chance
the grinding of what gears

celestial kites invade our night
uncoiled from cosmic strings
who placed them there for our delight
and gifted them with rings

grasping the infinite within
the infinite without
as the Creator's violin
plays Symphony of Doubt

a simulation still at play
perhaps we're merely pawns
a board abandoned, though we pray
as we weigh pros and cons

our theories and histories
hypotheses, conjectures
have yet to solve these mysteries
no shortage, though, of lectures

and me, what do I think is true
what matters about matter
like all of you, I have no clue
but I suspect the latter

my midlife scene: a field of snow
the sun is setting it aglow
it sparkles, flawless and pristine
as I was, as I might have been
the choices of so long ago

the drifts, now sugarplums and blow
the sun, bright lantern for a show
where I perform, I must be seen
my midlife scene

but soon the truck comes, with a plough
its muddy wheels chew up the snow
no longer pure, no longer clean
defying my attempts to preen
still, it is not yet time to go
my midlife scene

my life was hectic and dynamic
now, I just lay back in my hammock
this lazy beach, my new abode
on my CV -- I work remote

whatever your deal is
leave Dylan alone
remember glass houses
and rolling a stone

I said: I'll give you something hard
she laughed, said I don't look the part
and frankly, what do you expect
as I just never get respect

to many, I am just a hack
though I have starred in Caddyshack
as to my name, my lips are sealed
no need to look so far afield

emerging from primordial seas
her silhouette drawn by the breeze
goddess of love, love is divine
the ring is Aphrodite's sign

for all of us who are just biding
our time until reason stops hiding
we wait with abandon
it must rhyme with Brandon
but vaguely remind us of Biden

I'm grinning, surely ear to ear
yes, I am thinking of Vermeer
I'll gladly join those that are cheering
those girls with pearls, they are endearing

she told me: I'm not gonna take it
no, not anymore, I won't shake it
my neck is too long
when I sing a song
headbanging is out, I won't make it

however I'm still out here rocking
and frankly I find it quite shocking
that Dee, that is Snider
Is not doing neither
he's out in Belize, not tik-toking
