For a lovely bosom
And saw a lowly bra
Bra was made
For firm
And prop
Now it plays
Hide
And sex
Poking fun
On fools
On fools
Like me
For it can't lure
As
Bosom does.

A Kiss
A kiss is a buzz
If you feel
Air in between.
A kiss is a buss
If you feel
Lips on your cheek.
A kiss is a bust
If you feel
Slaps in the air.
- William T. CoSlaps in the air.
Be my beauty
Lo! the raging rave of water wave
Shuffling stone in rocking roll
Shifting sand of silver streaks.
Be my love beside the brook
See! the swelling surge of ruffling roll
Blowing bubbles in frolicking froth
Rousing rainbow in fizzy foams.
Be my bride beside the brook
Hear! the rushing roar of rambling rip
Rippling rock in tonic tone
Soothing soul in rhythmic rhyme.
Footsteps
Black ants wait in fright
Footsteps pound the ground
Cracking red ants in the
dark.
Black ants filled the
floor
Frolicking in rejoice.
Footsteps pound the ground
Cracking black ants in the
dark.
Roaches on the prowl
Munching red and black ants
Footsteps pound the
ground.
Crackling roaches in the
dark.

Let me leave
As I came
As I came
Not a grief
Be heard
Be heard
Nor a tear
Be shed
Be shed
Spare me
No moment
No moment
To nothing
I return.
Live
From one to the other
And your happiness
Will be goal to goal.
Live by day
From dawn till dusk
And your happiness
Will be day to day.
Live for the moment
Touching, feeling, loving
And your happiness
Will be moment to moment.
Bordering the waist
The bulge is where the
battle rages.
Ever since it’s a rout
Of flab booming-
Til the bulge dropped in
despair.
It all began-
When a snack beat a jog by
a flab.

Tease
for skirt
let loose
a shrill
A hem
too high
reveal
a rill
The sway
and swing
let slip
a thrill
To tease
an art
no need
of skill.

Life and Death
In life
We live
In death
We leave
It's not why
We live or leave
But how.

Do Love
Let’s talk of love and nothing else.
Do love, for love is sweet divine.
Be pure to love or else regret
The bliss of love, no joy can give.
Though love does wane, as all things do
Feel no remorse, nor rancor leave.
Never, ever do break a heart
Not anyone, not even yours.

Nature and Man
Nature thrives on diversity
The secret of complexity
Coupled with dexterity
It will survive adversity.
Man opted for simplicity
For want of creativity
This route of similarity
May hasten its finality.

Just because you Kissed me Goodnight
Artwork by BobbyRubio
Just because you kissed me goodnight
I was fluttered beyond words
Left the stair ajar and hurried up the gates
Forgot to kiss gown and slept with my papa on
First time, I missed my night prayer.
Wake up early morning, fully refreshed
Leisurely took breakfast and kissed papa goodnight
Busy attending to clients, seeking their counsels
Come home late, for I missed a turn.
That’s a week ago, now I’m back to normal
Left papa at the bay with his rod
Finished work on the dot and was home early
Oh! I forgot to pick up papa at the bay
Just because you kissed me goodnight.
- William T. Co
A Morsel
A pin drops
echoing fright
and flight.
A heart ticks
with the clock
on the dot.
A floor creaks
on step
freezes in time.
A cold sweat
creases the brow
in the dark.
A morsel
too precious
to resist.
- William T. Co
The Way
"Good and bad"
is man's way
"Yin and yang"
"Yin and yang"
is nature's way
"Silence"
is God's way.

New Orleans (2000)
Summer was starting to fade when we visited
Air humidly warm, with showers when needed
Air humidly warm, with showers when needed
Place seems to be deserted, unlike ours
So crisp and clean, surely you used giant vacuums.
Friendly, cool, relaxed, especially the blacks
So friendly, that we're now one of them
Jokes and laughter come out of the blue
So lively, they hum and sway all day.
Went to Riverwalk, for the scene and the food
Plantations, museums, history so rich, a war so pitiful
Casinos, I can't understand where the money comes from
Night time at Bourbon Street, booze, jazz, and strip in the air.
What a place. Wish I live, lay, and be laid here.
I had to move. The day I left, I woke from a dream.
I had to move. The day I left, I woke from a dream.
Oh no! Orleanians, you had me but no more
You gloss everything, drunkards, gamblers, and strippers.
Yes, no place is everyplace, have to move someplace
Erehwon will always be a place far far away.

I'm in Love
Talk to me while I’m in love
Of things not here nor there
Do valleys in heaven grow
Vines, limes, and wines.
Hear me while I’m in love
Of loveliness in loneliness
Do angels high above
Love as being does.
Touch me while I’m in love
Of fantasy in ecstasy
Do the firmament peep below
On mortals in throes of love.
Love me while I’m in love
And let pleasure and measure prove
That joy and pain are one
In life and in love.
In the Wilderness of Faith
Artwork by rustyhalox
In the wilderness of faith -
I curse the storm
And stood my ground
In quest of truth.
If at last, I fail
(and surely I will)
Let it be said -
"I've been master of my faith."
- William T. Co
