Patti Masterman Poems

Once you crack the tough nut of the psyche-
That buried, overripe tart fruit,
Be prepared for much more to erupt
Than a single nut casing could ever contain;
...

I would have to drink up the entire ocean
Just to get close to you
But then, I would be as large
As all the earths surface
...

There's a ghost lives right up above
A non paying renter, on floor number two
And I know that if push came to shove
He'd scare off the paying tenants too
...

Kiss, kissss we say
We blow dragonfly kisses
In the air
We wave from the mountaintops
...

I thought you had left me forever
But lately I'm not so sure
I check the mirror only to find there
Your own coy expression: demure
...

Oh why do I feel so alone in this world?
Even genies have a master
Who caresses their magic lamp sometimes;
And gods have their universes whirled
...

A very mean and bicked witch
She makes me cry, she makes me itch
The wickedest witch you ever saw
Your eyes will water and your skin will crawl
...

Spam bot foilers
Fence me out
They're work despoilers
Beyond a doubt
...

Life, when it's clothed in living flesh
Is fresh and unpredictable
As the makers dream must have been
...

If courting woman's soul
Were but your single quest
Then, I would be quite bold
In thwarting your request
...
