now
wakes up and sleep
effortlessly | img2poems |
a dialogue between
in weak and strong
people under roofs | img2poems |
then up we flew
i felt no trace of fear
not even as the distant moon grew near | img2poems |
a noun sentence no verb
to it or in it: to the sea the scent of the bed
after making love | img2poems |
anthology of erotic poetry
erotic may of
thessaloniki | img2poems |
you and me
abandon sense
and dance naked between planets and stars | img2poems |
does not ignore
designs and soul
expensive materials | img2poems |
angel sweet kisses
born in
crypt of our hearts | img2poems |
in our personal secrets
whispers
dense foliage are | img2poems |
a world where it doesn't rain save there are umbrellas for all
where only on the house of the evil doer would a tree ever fall
where bad people look gruff and mean but good men all stand tall | img2poems |
and i long
to be inside one to hold
the other | img2poems |
to check if your checkpoints were more than just rumour
to see if the claims of the chains were just heightened
to see if the blindfolds on free thoughts were tightened | img2poems |
tales of abduction and bumps in the night
actions that spoke of a want to spread fright
lives plucked into thinness to prove who is right | img2poems |
the odour of blood spilled from the back
the stench of aged fear curdling inside
the acrid burn of wildfire eating your pride | img2poems |
the stilted air that hung all around you
and with a stiffened hold of an awkward embrace
i came back to hug you and found you disgraced | img2poems |
consumerism's got the best of me in spite of my fighting so hard to maintain the good thinks in life
i keep fighting a losing battle
i want to believe the best things in life are free but i get stopped in my tracks | img2poems |
a flowering of the human spirit
in which evil torments and exploits
as much of creation as it can reach | img2poems |
there the lyre
of david in gold
and silver through | img2poems |
sober slaves in falsetto sing-a-longs
from the radio rations cultivating the drones
who pool their lack of talent for the hebrew hook | img2poems |
meanwhile a politician stands on a street corner sermonizing
as all these stray children go running home starving to death
in their minds | img2poems |
the beautiful light of the promised land has
the best of the dark and the best of the glow
in its heart's dream | img2poems |
hiding my face i fled
and the grey wind hissed behind me
along the narrow streets | img2poems |
the woman thinks of some former buddy
who has everything : carriage and cottage in the country
while the children their fists dug into their closed eye-lids | img2poems |
and don't let us yield to temptation
but deliver us from the evil one
amen matthew | img2poems |
may his breath become musk and amber
may whole cities and homelands
gather fruit from his branches | img2poems |
and among all the poets and nightingales
in the friend's garden
may yunus hop like a partridge | img2poems |
o poet of every starlit season
o bard of greatness use your reason
and tell me then if i am fine | img2poems |
marine species and coral reefs by the sea
o great philippines
her beauty shines | img2poems |
and so at last you sleep in the circle of my arms
that push back the shadows so that you can rest
vegetables seaweed herbs: the foam of your dreams | img2poems |
and i am in despair that time may bring
approved patterns of women or of men
but not that selfsame excellence again | img2poems |
the throne his fathers held from age to age
built for king martin to diplay at will
his mighty strength and universal skill | img2poems |
thus with a restless heart in every field
he sought renown and found his subjects yield
as if he were a demi-god revealed | img2poems |
and still along the reaches of the stream
the vain king-fisher flits an azure gleam
you see his ruby crest you hear his jealous scream | img2poems |
that old one-it griped us sometimes
but it was firm tart
sometimes delectable | img2poems |
the one his pleasures around him strews
that his friends the public may reap if they choose
the other would fain make them all subscribe | img2poems |
but the man from baton rouge said he could not afford to
buy her
and then she began to cry aloud in her grief | img2poems |
one day i'll retrieve them
and the dust
will make me sneeze | img2poems |
when a street lamp comes out
i gaze at it for fully thirty seconds
to rest my brain with the suffusing round brilliance of its globe | img2poems |
what will suffice for a true-love knot
even the rain
but he has bought grief's lottery bought even the rain | img2poems |
our glosses / wanting in this world can you remember
anyone
when we thought / the poets taught even the rain | img2poems |
after we died that was it
god left us in the dark
and as we forgot the dark we forgot even the rain | img2poems |
i turn on the gas
flare like the many
blue incandescent flames | img2poems |
maize maize
it was after our chickens
have had their fill | img2poems |
here we are with love pouring out of every orifice
here they are dancing
around the funeral pyre the corpse in absentia | img2poems |
in the morning elephant grass moves the way
mist is visible in the breeze but doesn
t dampen the skin | img2poems |
i have ants in my leg
and my leg went to sleep
are not the same thing | img2poems |
no more running long or short distance
the old women
snicker at me when i pass them by | img2poems |
the sea
s like the desert
neither quenches the thirst | img2poems |
here i ride my bicycle invisible
except for a crescent shadow and the milky way
is already past | img2poems |
the pages of my notebook soak then curl
i've written
yogis opened their mouths for hours to drink the rain | img2poems |
i hurry home as though someone is there waiting for me
the night collapses into your skin
i am the rain | img2poems |
i am not trying to say anything
i'll say
i am just telling you what happened | img2poems |
what's the point of that
they'll say
it isn't interesting | img2poems |
(or maybe i won't
i am always anticipating conversations
and often people say completely different things | img2poems |
so excuse me for my two sense cents nbsp cause this women is a dime though
nbsp and even when she on her guardshe's no lower then a rondo
nbsp so | img2poems |
a poet's words show strength by the picture they minister
nbsp hope your self-worth is never miniature
nbsp won't bet on forever but we these words nbsp under line an integer | img2poems |
in between your thighs
nbsp i'm sure you weren't ready for what was in store so you settle for a side
nbsp yet your my minds appetite throughout the night | img2poems |
oh
i said angry and afraid
and i threw down my books | img2poems |
ever since you provided
your summary of the kama sutra
delivered in such melodramatic actor's voice | img2poems |
now maybe it'd do you good
to repeat the mantra times
and go to sleep | img2poems |
he discovers all these books
at the national library
and bookshops | img2poems |
and off they went
outraged father and trembling son
into dusty history | img2poems |
para vernos cara a cara
de pensamiento a pensamiento
para secar mis lagrimas con un beso | img2poems |
i know where you are you are uptown in a seedy bar
you're covering your ears so blood won't spill because you swear you just heard someone insult the man you love
but i'm still blue and i'm still downtown and i don't know that you love me | img2poems |
to god i said again
but my faith
god showed no sign of assurance | img2poems |
what now
sighed god
quite irritated | img2poems |
daddy daddy
where's mummy
asked adam | img2poems |
the expert in magic confirmed it was white magic and shared the spells with everyone
the spells brought wonder and joy to the people in the land of the lost
and perhaps that is magic in itself | img2poems |
nor am i inherent in the vedas
nor am i present in intoxicants
nor am i lost nor the corrupt | img2poems |
nor am i union nor grief
nor am i intrinsic in the pure/impure
nor am i of water nor of land | img2poems |
nor did i create differences of faith
nor did i create adam and eve
nor did i name my self | img2poems |
beginning or end i just know the self
do not acknowledge duality
there's none wise than i | img2poems |
who is this bulla shah
bulla
i know not who i am | img2poems |
ho
let's take it slow
she said how do you know your master knows | img2poems |
she jumped from the back to front of her mind as she struggled to severe the lie that would bind her to him the lie of his lambs or his god or his temple or dark holy flag
or the great golden rod which he held into place as he stride on the world with the waste that he made for the people he graced
with his pomp and pretend and his bendable laws she considered his dreams and counted his flaws | img2poems |
oh said adam
but you created me
so why can't i call you daddy | img2poems |
no
thundered mighty god
and that is that | img2poems |
through my prayers streams
the moon the refracted
light of the sun | img2poems |
i worship my father
my brother and friend
by his side until the end | img2poems |
both: man and satan are the fuel of falsehood
but the ingredient that tell between them
is of stupendous quite contradictory opposing | img2poems |
you don't understand
you could have been anybody
the girl in my science class who laughs too loud at my funnys and look so much like you | img2poems |
anybody
you could have been that girl i kissed behind the backstop
her hair mixed in the tall natural hue much more interesting then her lips | img2poems |
i know for certain when i see the first bloody tear forming that your agony this time will be worth preserving
as they part the watchers come down from the towers
that first great sob could have killed me | img2poems |
the animal within just wants to pounce and devour you
i know how you will taste closer to the truth than the pious blood of christ
i have seen the evidence in textbooks researched the rumours heard in hotel lobbys and religious gatherings | img2poems |
i follow you among the famine tents of faith and as i observe you kneeling i begin to believe that the distance between us is imagined and false
chasing you the sleep thinker you who has seen things said to be concealed is no easy task
weaving roses in the waveform as you wander wayward leaves even athletes short of breath and that dance only you can do leaves others with broken toes | img2poems |
guys do mean it when they say i love you
for creatures are we of ambition and clay
affection desire worry and play | img2poems |
envelops mute appreciations
for all you've encountered were the whole story told
all the trials and the tribulations | img2poems |
a howling hurt
this is not a treasury
where gold is stored this is for copper | img2poems |
a call after the separation
is like digging up the buried corpse and
asking did you die | img2poems |
you are the flower i always wanted
and i am the mismatch of your life
now trying to understand what happened | img2poems |
why did you let me feast on your nectar
sleep on your petals
and become so spoiled | img2poems |
and why i could not see that you had stopped dreaming of me
fighting for me believing in me
and wanting me | img2poems |
what happened has now become another puzzle of love
one where different worlds coexist happily
until their hearts can not longer be warmed by the same flame | img2poems |
while wax dripped
slowly crashing down
i melted from your life | img2poems |
days past long ago when she walked with me
when i could reach deep into her soul and see her
seeing her as she use to be | img2poems |
just her and me
those days are gone my time with her is past
she gave me a whole lifetime | img2poems |
i treasure her memories forever
alzheimers will never take those away from me
those day are gone my time with her is past | img2poems |
no longer lost and wandering
i'll find a star to guide me
i'm moving on | img2poems |
do i disappoint you
perhaps because of my words
or maybe it's the lack of it | img2poems |
do i disappoint you
by what i did or do
or perhaps what i didn't | img2poems |
