Nothing
Mike Adam Aug 2020
Nothing at all-

Good evening
Aug 2020 · 66
Splash!
Mike Adam Aug 2020
Man jumps in

How the world has changed
Aug 2020 · 135
And a nightingale
Mike Adam Aug 2020
Screamed

In Berkley Square
Aug 2020 · 122
And when
Mike Adam Aug 2020
And when

That summer
Leaf

Do open

How can you not
Lick
That leathery
Offering

Lonely

Stumbling
Mike Adam Aug 2020
Forward-

One fall at a time-

One/two small eyes

Catching
Little suns

Iwant to make love
Mike Adam Jul 2020

To make love to me

Boo hoo boo hoo

Boo hoo
Jul 2020 · 84
I understand nothing
Mike Adam Jul 2020
It is nice

That you do
Jul 2020 · 109
It is just a building
Mike Adam Jul 2020
It will tumble and fall.

You wouldbe so safe
In my arms

If we could bubble-

So lonely.
Jul 2020 · 62
Well
Mike Adam Jul 2020
It will be

Alright
Jul 2020 · 69
Watering
Mike Adam Jul 2020
A:
In the smallness
Of the garden
Thirsty flowers
Scorn my puny can
And call down rain

B:
In a distant galaxy
Some parallel man
Waters microbial blooms.

Bereft of cloud,
Darkness engulfs like
A tomb
Jul 2020 · 59
Last
Mike Adam Jul 2020
The last time I loved
(So, so,
So long ago)

Fruit spilled itself
In the garden

And insects sang
And rejoiced
In the split flesh

And the soil leapt
With joy
And sprouted
Tiny seedlings.

The last time
I loved

Her womb welcomed
Seed and cried
In happiness
And fecund abundance.

But the last time was
So,so
So long ago
Jul 2020 · 59
Just
Mike Adam Jul 2020
Oh

Just make it up

As you go
Jul 2020 · 65
Old tree

Cuddle
Mike Adam Jul 2020
Yes
Cuddle
Jun 2020 · 101
And I am
Mike Adam Jun 2020
And I am in love

(Again)

But she no idea has.

How to marry?

How to know

And who we can

Possibly

Be?
Jun 2020 · 61
What a voice
Mike Adam Jun 2020
What a voice
And I wish

That I could call

Mellifluous

On your ear
Jun 2020 · 78
How often
Mike Adam Jun 2020
How often have I
Curled up

And cried

Like

A man

A real man
Jun 2020 · 81
Smell
Mike Adam Jun 2020
Smell of brown earth
Jun 2020 · 63
Noah ashore
Mike Adam Jun 2020
After rain
Nostril aflame

Red bloom
Sing tune

Berry hum
Upon tongue

Skin alive
Sultry, blithe
Jun 2020 · 56
There are none
Mike Adam Jun 2020
There are none I seek
To reunite,

To meet again
Beyond the veil-

Do not oppose
sweet oblivion

From the strangeness
Of life,

From consciousness
Of panic

Nor of love
Jun 2020 · 46
Universe
Mike Adam Jun 2020
Universe is so
Small
And changeable

My mouth can
Say so
Little.

Kiss

My tears
Mike Adam Jun 2020
My tears are full

Of *****

And love.

If I cannot breath

I cannot speak

But god breathed anyway
May 2020 · 99
And god breathed
Mike Adam May 2020
And god breathed
Into my nostrils
And I lived
May 2020 · 57
I have read
Mike Adam May 2020
I have read
A million poets

But liked only two

Vicki and homer

Actually that is not true

I like shakespeare too

Hallucinate
Mike Adam May 2020
Donkey named Ginny.

Five years and sick,
Convalescent friend.

Wagon wheel spreads
Chocolate around the mouth.

Today round clock
Melts,
Giraffe open drawers in neck.

No longer five
But sixty plus

And bewildering motion,
Time and dizzy change,

Endless assault,
Uni-linear movement.

Ever longing to stroke
Her shaggy muzzle.

The girl
Mike Adam May 2020
Who took my hand.

How are your grandchildren?

O bear
Mike Adam Mar 2020
Blinking from
Cave
Cosied

Pelt hanging
From bones

Smile bear
And forage

Fresh Spring

O time
Mike Adam Mar 2020
Distort mirror
Then that
Now this
Becoming
Other.

Put aside
Caricatures-

Slip mirrors into oceans

Flee free

Caught in
Rusting bucket

Escaped through
A hole in the side

Even old
Dead
Moon
Got a
Satellite.

Here I spin
And roll

Alone

Earth is slowing
Mike Adam Mar 2020
Head in ice

Wake me when it

Stops

Often thought
Mike Adam Feb 2020
Saw you-

Molten stuff from
The navel of the world-

Never cooled to earth-

Bubbled desire
Moulded to a sigh

Quaking your surface
Only to subside.

May your fluid state
Persist unstabled
As the end of day

Breathes orange
Feb 2020 · 106
Easy fall
Mike Adam Feb 2020
Easy to sit in
Cosy coffin and

Pontificate
Upon the death of
Others-

Easy annihilation
Of
Self
So
Cosily confined

All I know of love

All I know of love
Is in this dot

All I know of creation
Is in this dot

            .

All I
