boomerang

everything is new again
my love, my darling
new, for you -

the ocean, vast and blue
fresh and grand
a shocking jolt unites your lovely body
to the rolling waves
you float away,
an underwater bird
you fly
arms outstretched
it is your ocean now and always

cheeseburgers, mousse and mangoes
chewy, smooth and sweet
bursting and tantalizing on your taste buds
your face in open wonder
(where have they been hiding these delicacies?)
a feast for a king
the king of everything
rocking in your seat all energy and grins
beaming

a first snowfall
fireworks' booms - their smokey smell
everything in the world is new again
new again
for you, my love

haikus about food

this must go somewhere
perhaps down to the basement
i can't keep it here

this must go away
my inner turbulances
are making me eat

i must end this thing
i'll will it to the treadmill
leave it there in sweat

Poetry about the boy

Lyrics to my life I
by Alice Torcas

He’s in search of a new sensation
He’s giving off a new vibration
He is like a bright new penny
So two-sided and oh so pretty.

His face goes blank when you corner him with questions.
His cover’s blown but he shows no vacillation.
His indignation is a false conviction
To deter your attention from his secret addiction.

He has the nerve to get jealous when you smile at a boy
But just how do you feel about his backdoor toys?

Boys, boys – they’re all the same
Wanting all the power
Playing hidden games.

Boys, boys – don’t waste your time.
They will turn it all on you
Like they’re dropping you a dime.

Do yourself a favor and just play along
This bicycle’s for two.
Ride it, kick it all night long.
