Don't look at him that way Rochelle. 

You want him gone Rochelle. 

Your skin is onyx. 

Your umbra. 

True to the black. 

Your black heart. 

Winter spell. 

You covet him. 

But you covet his last breath. 

In a kiss of death. 

Yet mixed with her antipathy is a powerful yen. 

You may not have him to covet 

if you kill him. 

Subject him to condition, 

lurking in the black. 

The shadows Rochelle. 

Black as cosmos. 

Black as night. 

Once inside her inner tramp takes over. 

Low light and just enough

for a girl her own. 

Greeted by cross wind 

west to east. 

Open windows and the 

door to the portico. 

Gives her the appearance 

walking on air. 

A high to die for right then. 

He walks heavy on 

the back stairs. 

Lamb and a pumpkin sun as garnish 

fills the air with its redolence. 

Zest. Red wine best. 

Slow cook and melt like kiss.  

There's a pumpkin sun setting. 

Indian Summer. 

Drive right into punch drunk 

setting of the sun.  

Where blades of grass are instrument 

to the wind. 

Sway is melody. 

Medley. 

Restless swain looking to fill cellars 

the sound of sweet. 

Love a rally the moon auroral 

and polished.

At Soprafina with the glass everything. 

Pavlovian conditioning 

to her dress. 

I sweat her a mighty 

wind to lift her spirits. 

There. 

Discretion the lesser third 

of the whole. 

Behind demand and consequence. 

Her throaty laughter.

Suddenly spring and 

everything is open... 

for discussion. 

You let me be brazen. 

Say what in a sonnet. 

Lover. 

Am I not your innovation? 

What say of my impatience? 

Sudden spring and there's 

a bloom on things. 

Take my side come on dawn. 

Dew so viscous stick to me.

You and I are meant to be. 

It's the thought that fills my mind. 

If you believe in destiny 

wait with me for the right time. 


Stretched across the great divide 

is the link that binds. 

Finding passion beyond our usual. 

Within the ecstasy lined walls. 


Hearing your call across the great expanse 

you find me in the palm of your hands. 

If answered prayers be 

the indication of dreams, 

God provide the means.  

A dream to sell.

I won't tell you 

how to dream. 

Beauty and age. 

Waif. 


She's something. 

Like I know of 

fortune to come. 

Humbly congregate. 

Near and dear to me. 


Tell me a story dear. 

Say what you mean. 

Put your heart into it. 

This congregation 

us infamous. 

The hue deep blue. 

The canopy 

of blue dress.

I find you.

I fought Garth. 

If any landed, 

punches thrown.  


She watched and wondered 

matter of men swing at tree limbs. 

Tree grow out of the concrete 

on a path and fence

From the tracks. 


She's French kisser. 

Heads pointed 2:00 and 7:00.  

We go right into it 

with fists limbs to stir. 

Began summer

By now the weather as the grip on the glass untenable. what take place bring you east. Form with a man in Chicago. A phase. We're good at. They top heavy. Missouri. She'll take it and break it. What you're left with, elements embedded. Trees either side us curved path. Pebble and sand. Met April in May through Natalie. French kissers. Tuesday April. Thursday Natalie. Give me a call when you get back to New Hampshire. You can't work in the little convenience store forever. Get things together and head home. You've got such a pretty face. Pretty ways. Turn your head to the right and hold it. In a small town in Illinois because she's got family here. Wander about aimless in the evenings. Things are strange and there is trouble by the university. You'll tell me about it because we're friends. Leave the first floor door open. You wash clothes. Turn your head to the left and hold it. Give me a call when you get back to New Hampshire. No end to complexities of needs. Dealings with same. Come close and heady revelry. A force complex dimensions. Fatale. Sweet song speak love. If even time of day. Oblivious of me, step around me. Narrow sidewalk, one of us walk ahead. I blend into the submit to Overseer. His minions They like you and lowered esteem to success. Seem to find your way to me. Simply Susan settle with a stranger. Emboldened moment of truth tempered by angst in waves. Tell her I love her. Tell her I'll buy jewelry and a dress. He says that all the time. Lovers a dime a dozen. What have you done lately? Unless I beg she seemed to say. And I would never say never but I covet and tell her about it. Chardonnay. If you taste, is like love gobble you up. It is a kiss between intimates. Passionate  the day we met. Curry favor with host. Labor of love she'd give of. It is love we toast. Find her usefulness in laughing through it. Embodiment of the cause when he calls. How we've grown close. She consider treasure pleasure is mine. Endeavor. Everything is a season. The subtle jump off. Shoulder to elbow and fabric falling. Gather in your presence. Love in the shape of a wedge. Acerbic aftertaste. Approach it like plum. With little pressure offer up its tense. Nestled between limbs when spread like wings. Form horizon. To be credible make visible stitching. A dress. A small space base the wall. Rectangular window projects sunlight northern wall. We're in shadow eastern wall. Good and better killer. Timeless damsel of yours a fashion. Man is monster. Bestial Immodest dreams subject exaggerated. She know best. Narrative come to pass. And hard knocks. The slow walk the threshold. Blessed noir. Mad Hatter. Sign the times. The humble they gray day missive. Lonely as I am solemn. The fates hard. I dream abundant. Sweet nothings I do the honors. Here is freedom. Bed for landing. Slender man. Vice eyes wide. Unmasking. There will be a murder. Once carefree mutual and just. Song of songs verbatim. Body and kind. Sheer and dear. My eyes only. Rue the nights. Contort nostalgia. Flexible plenty vamp. Determined of acts forward and frontier. Designate Thursday girl. Magnetism. The cold steel. Killer omnivore. The gloaming. Picturesque thing. The recall sharp. I'm wolf. You know Viceroy. Greatest of ease. The approach visceral. The effort terrain and spoil. Natural speak of. Flex and function. At your back The nights course. The vessel of wonder. The recall what you will. The vogue take shape. Threadbare. The world fleeting. Old photos and Merlot with stories. Pulled her panties shortly before she walked in on me erect. Long time coming. Or Shiraz before come to escort up the stairs. Constant mind the thing humbling earn an eager with the trance. Be first when worst of it. Spit it. Can't be helped. Spit it from her fill. For potential the earth moved. Washed of the dust of the dog days. There are gallant homes the cu-de-sac. Manufacturing district. From there east on main street to restaurant row. There's something for everyone. Plenty of love on the menu. The lady will have the stew and for you to accompany her in her car to Estes street. The grandest home in the Cul-De-Sac. Where people make love with windows open. They can be heard. A silent film. A child fight for survival. In a tiny village. An epic to be pulled from the depths of a personal hell.                                    Wears white linen and gowns and never get out of bed. "Remember the old church Katherine?" Remember Cherry street Katherine. How could I forget? It's where we kissed. But you cannot trust a poets kiss. Poets make too many promises. A thousand kisses deep. And later in the witching hour wonder how she can sleep. Her exhalation ragged yet sanguine. Away from me she sleeps R.E.M. sleep. Sleeps to dream but not of me. Her eyelids aflutter. Her hearts break. She cannot take another. She's just killing time. A thousand kisses deep. A thousand and one. Whatever cleaves to them has fallen down. Stepping away from it to lie down. A world of white. White light. White curtains. Linen. Catching wind to filter the cool to their skin. And later once melancholy has settled in. A thousand and one for abdication. Looking into the beat of felicity. And she lie sideways. Her head shelved by her palm. Swords of skin and bone mahogany. Much like Katydids. Long and slender. Betwixt them the horizon a white line of fine linen. Back of that. Well walls the color of chianti. Looking into felicity. With a quickening pulse made so by the hunger and the rush. A hero's welcome to the depths of her.

Welcome what may. 

The night is warm. 

Out of body celestial emerge. 

And machination. 

I feel everything.

 

Blessed lure and order of things. 

Pride of prior knowledge. 

Keen on dreams. 

Feather and lace. 

Invite to sup. 


Shifting elements. 

The power vested. 

The decorum. 

Demonstrably enchanting. 

The new fiction. 

A fond and well being. 

The wolf of now. 

The genesis

the to-do. 

Clung for comfort.

At first denial.

 

Don't look at him that way Rochelle.  You want him gone Rochelle.  Your skin is onyx.  Your umbra.  True to the black.  Your black heart...
