Artwiculate - Flotsam

piece by piece
he salvaged flotsam
you left to drift-
piece by piece
he rebuilt me

scattered sand
the flotsam of
our shattered hourglass-
how did you and i
run out of time?

Artwiculate - Amative

plucking petals
a scatter
of amative wishes-
does he love me
or not?

Artwiculate - Indelicate

indelicate anguish
she made love
to his shadow
upon the grave
of his memory

Artwiculate - Coruscate

captured stars coruscate
within sanguine liquid
i take a sip
from my wine glass
filled with dreams

Artwiculate - Illutible

the touch
of his love
clings
to my skin
-illutible fingerprints

each tear
painted
another illutible line
of melancholy
across her face

Artwiculate - Sanctimonius

narcissus bloom
pays homage
to his reflection-
scents the air
with sanctimonious vanity

Artwiculate - Mizzle

mizzle mist dances
soft upon clover, sugar
coats the leaves with rain

Artwiculate - Avolition

mind's avolition
deep azure doldrums mirrored
within empty eyes

avolition and i
share halfhearted musings
trapped within
the muted colors
of my mind's dusk

Artwiculate - Dingle

ribbon of green coiled
within deep shaded dingle-
verdant rhapsody

Artwiculate - Kindle

kindle upon wings-
dragonfly pauses to catch
a drop of sunlight

Artwiculate - Debacle

i will bottle
these bitter thoughts
and pen my story
of debacle
and disappointment

Artwiculate - Machination

her beauty
beckons
the moth
closer-
fatal embrace,
candle's machination.


i traded in
my wings
to pay
for your
machination

Artwiculate - Transmogrify

inner child
comes out
to play-
we transmogrify clouds
into fairy tale creatures

transmogrify the
water of my tears into
a red wine tinged bliss

Artwiculate - Bromopnea

stagnant stream
thick with
nature's bromopnea
dripping prismatic
with marsh flowers-
within everything
beauty found

Artwiculate - Stentorian

stentorian rain
falls heavy-handed
bruises skin
she takes penance
proffering herself
in kneeling atonement

he traces lyrics
upon my skin
to make my blood
sing with his
in stentorian yearning

Artwiculate - Libertine

libertine seductress
cloaked in
midnight dreams
drenched in
starlight and heat
i yield myself
to her desires


i dance for the moon,
my libertine master- my
blood sings for your touch

Artwiculate - Chutzpah

witching hour
is upon us
with chutzpah
we shall hitch up
our skirts
dance among daisies
and pay homage
to the moon

morning sunlight
tip toes in
with gleeful chutzpah
awakens me
warm bright kisses
upon bare skin

she reaches within
with defiant chutzpah to
meet her reflection

with cherry wine and
candlelight i cast a spell
of carnal chutzpah

Artwiculate - Abstruse

your heart would not be
such an abstruse machine if
you gave me the key

Artwiculate - Compotation

honeysuckle blooms
turn in early
and dismayed butterflies
are forced to take
their compotation elsewhere

nights spent
on sweet grass beds
quiet musings
and compotation
we watch shooting stars
sing across the sky

Artwiculate - Brouhaha

five kittens
tussle
a tangle
of calico-
catnip brouhaha

final flowers of
summer, a brouhaha of
butterflies ensues

a brouhaha between
consciousness and slumber
i hesitate
only a moment
before sliding
with sweet surrender
into an awaiting dream
