Bio Of A Moment

 Who would want to resist

as we spread ourselves

thigh to thigh

mouth to mouth

Because someone said it was wrong?

Someone was obviously never held

by you

Eternity

inside you

We Go Down

 You rise

a corporeal erection

in this humid dream

I scream in desire

I slash at everything between us

until we reach for one another

and begin to shake the earth

off its axis

Always a delight

to play

in our dungeon

Raven's Infinite Scream

 

I clutch again

the life I thought I wanted

the world I wanted to create

overcompensating for the fear

with solitude

until I'm rotting in infinite ways

on the inside

and screaming like a dying raven

burning in the light of day

I Wait

 You make me wait

until I feel

cross-eyed on the inside

with the anticipation

of you

Dreaming of doing things

that would make an abomination blush

I watch time

until the real tantalizing torture can begin

when you turn the lock

of the bedroom door

You'll Only Hold Me Once

 

Did you think I was some

luscious flower

who would always bloom for you

to do with as you please

Pulling my petals off

he loves me not

tearing my leaves

yanking and crushing

until I rot back into

whatever's left of my roots

to grow again

so you can begin killing me again

I've grown back a flower

The flower of a cactus

Embrace me

Shir-O-Shakher

 

Smooth as milk

yet lumpy as sugar

Your texture changes with the weather

and you're woven at different tensions

Yet no matter how wrinkled

you are always light weight

Around you the air is breathable

I feel you'll never pull my frayed ends

and destroy me in unraveling

You're like a favorite seersucker suit

I want to wear

until forever ends

Googled seersucker suit ~ "The name of a seersucker suit comes from the Persian phrase "shir-o-shakher" which means "milk and sugar".  The name refers to the fabric's alternating smooth and gritty textures, which resemble milk and sugar. Seersucker is a lightweight, breathable fabric that's woven with threads at different tensions, causing some threads to bunch together and give the fabric a puckered appearance."

Plait Of Your Life

 What will you chose to worship

The stereotypical plait of the world

Money

Sex

Power

Will you let your experiences reveal

your personal

holy trifecta

Or will you chose with your brain

then live

with your heart

Wanderful Life

 By frantic wander

I will see

all the fears

and all the wonders

My life will be a quilt

of colorful chaos

my body that is my home

will wrap it around itself

and live

Cauldron Cover

 I search every earthly market

for haunted ware

It's an essential form

in my formlessness

A dark bow

of cobwebs and skelton keys

holding together

my Halloween life

What I Do

 I don't do gorgeous

I do nervous

And if I had a craft

it would be origami stomach butterflies

golden brain bumps

and a yellow brick tongue

For pity's sake

tell gorgeous

I'm mute

Time Blows

 Time has a passion

and it is your destruction

The moment you feel

the music of time

it has planted a shard in you

that burrows and cuts

leaving its trail of wrinkles

Time spends itself on you

until that moment when

it can quite literally

blow you away

Plan

 Bless me

for I aim to misbehave

I'm working

and interface

with limitless exploration

Plan to be

beneath the lightning

I do so hope

you are comfortable

with sin

Smut

 I feel the throb

barely recognizable at first

Soon it distracts me

pulling me

to submit

I peel the clothes away

either every turn of the page

Though I am engorged

I can not stop

feeding the throb

as I submit

cover to cover

Eye On The Ore

Dig deep and find

your psychological foundation

The metal in your marrow

The brain in your bedrock

What if you mine

a depressed ass

down in the darkness of you

No get up and go

just a broken tail

Not a vivacious voice

but a slow bass bray

What if you find

all you are

is blue

Junk Food Insanity

 Tasted so good

going down

Now there it sits

taking up more space

than it deserves

Feeling it trying to jump up and out

but only air with a memory escapes

Old enough to know better

hopeful enough to think

maybe not this time

How many repetitions

before it's madness

and will the food coma come in time

to shut it down

Ideomotor Response Pen

 At this point

I'll listen to any voice

that sings a story

I can inhale

transmute and transform

into something me

I can glide and smear

removing the lonely emptiness

between the lines

Hemingway Was Right

 It is often easier

to pick up a knife

and open a vein

then to pick up a pen

and bleed

The ink is the life

Exsanguinate on the page

Empty Echo

 After over half a century

how can I be so empty

that a blank page

inspires only an echo

out of me

Walking To New York

 It's the spotlight

at the end of months of a tunnel

No up

no down

no peripheral

no sideshows

no exits

Just true north

to rows in darkness

a moment full of heartbeats

and the echo the journey

to find a seat

to present a ticket

and hear the opening notes

to the rest of your life

Day 10 of 31 OctPoWriMo2024

Walking The Broad Way

 An apple a day

keeps the show babies away

and stops them from stealing

the lollipop lights

The legacy robe's silk

holds the songs

of decades and strangers

wrapping around

then slipping away

Hiding inside a costume of light

the brighter the spot

the less you are seen

telling the truth

as you speak another's fiction

The Legacy Robe

The Right Side Of Random

 Lady Luck is a lying slut

Positive thinking is what failures do when they try again

There is no lucky penny to be held

Lincoln was shot in the head

There is no work

and success is just ending up

on the right side of random

Haunting

 Deep in back

down below it all

surrounded by cement

and stories already told

is where the best part stays

caught in the webs and dust

haunting

unheard

unremembered

unknown

just an echo in the floor boards

the soft creak of doors

and the fading music

of a song never written

Chaotic Commitment

 Exchange matching furniture

for vacations unparalleled

Exchange a backyard

for days finding hidden treasures

Exchanging owning a house

for creating a home wherever you stand

Exchange calm weather

for storms that feed your soul

Exchange some tranquility

for a little bit of chaos

Transparent Fire

 Back when she could feel

and was less afraid

there was

tongue to tongue

skin to skin

and novels of desire

written in sweat

on welcoming sheets

Now long past the age of consent

when there's no reputation to damage

no chance of accidents

she's transparent

If the world notices her at all

it's not as fire

but as dust

and they hope for a wind

to blow her away

Mr Stranger Danger

 He's not quite safe

but doesn't make you afraid

He'll take the sexy part of fear

and make you shiver with desire

He'll blindfold you

then show you sensations

He'll put you on a pedestal

without expecting you to be perfect

He's definitely not average

yet never make you feel inadequate

He's ruthless in his passions

with no apologies

He's not savage in fulfilling his needs

second only to fulfilling yours

He's forever

with the feel

of an animal

in the unknown

Falling Into Romance Novels

 Rode into the words

on a cycle of blood

powered by the moon

Not my usual literary fare

but my eyes

and my hormones

could not stop ingesting

the primal stereotypes

engaging in an erector set

of positions and passions

as boundless

and as endless

as the impossible stamina

rolling across the pages

Insatiable

I read on and on

covers to covers

infinites of published orgasms

held in the bindings

of electric spines

waiting to be bent

Day 3 of 31 OctPoWriMo2024

Hang The Light

 I could see the world from your lap

and

I could see the universe when you held me up in your arms

You placed the stars in the sky

and my eyes

while solar flares

shot from your mouth

You hung the moon

when it was full

then waited until you

were a quarter present

before hanging me

and going dark

The world and the universe snuffed out

Day 2 of 31 OctPoWriMo2024

Anhedonia

 Once this made me shiver

and that made me have difficulty breathing

the joy was palpable

the laughter deep and loud

Once that made me shake

and this made my breath quicken

the urge for justice

and the motivation to make change

Once legs and arms wrapping and colliding

whether soft and slippery

for hard and fast

brought an ecstasy

that made lips tremble

Now nothing singes the flesh

builds the blood

ignites the air in my lungs

If I could

I'd beg the world

Give me something to bleed about

Anhedonia is a condition that makes it difficult to experience pleasure or joy in activities that were previously enjoyable.
