Whispering Tempest
Josh Cooper Jun 2023
I Heard Love Rises Like A Warm Dawn
....Heard It Flies Like A Monsoon Calm
         It's Feet Gently Land Like Jazz
             Sinking Deep Like Still Waters
                A Wine's Sting On A ****** Tongue

With You,
Yours Came Gushing Like ***
All My Barricades Swept Away...
Exposed Defencelessly To Your ****
Your Storm Ripping My Soul Fair 'n' Square
Little Woman, Keep Spinning On Me!

Tell Me Little Woman
Are You An Artist Of Stone Art?
That You Waited This Long...
Just So They Bully And Turn My Heart To Stone
Only For You Soulmate,
To Come And Carve Your Name Into It
A Love Forever Scripted In Stone
The Purpose Of Love's Pain Atoned

Broken-Love Samurai
Josh Cooper Dec 2022
Look At The Cracks On This Heart She Broke
They're Deep Trenches And Caves
In Them I Hide...
Close My Eyes And I See Her One More Time
Its Where I Replay The Song Of Her Promise
Her Smiles And Giggles On Repeat
Where I Whisper, "I Was Loved"
So,
Don't Pull Me Out
Don't Bury These Cracks I'm Stuck In
Its The Only Place I Kiss A Love One More Time

Texas Manifesto
Josh Cooper Dec 2021
Standing at the confluence our souls I am ready

Ready for extremities and places beyond limits

To awaken emotions unknown to Enrique Iglesian's verse and prose

To make love to you than the wildest Pornographic script in Hollywood

To praise your vibe with all my lungs than any Roman in the Colosseum.

I am ready...

Ready to freeze heaven's supper for angels to look down and whisper, "Wow! That's an artistic ****" before asking for a slip of the tongue forgiveness from the Holy One.

Psychopathic phrases like "choke me" to be the sweetest of our communication systems

I am ready...

Are you?

Losing my Religion
Josh Cooper Jul 2021
When the Pastor said; "only death shall put lovers apart", he walked out on Christianity.

For his love stretched from hell and back, and further into before this life.

I saw him pick poetry for good.

A religion were lovers never part, for death is an illusion and wedding rings still scream meaning in graves and tombs!

At Eros' Altar
Josh Cooper Jun 2021
You who weakens the mind
Shall I, a mortal question thee?
Forgive me my Lord
But why has Eros created Love
Yet forgot to grant man its antidote?
Look Eros....
The planet is littered with broken hearts!

Tonight's Love Fabric
Josh Cooper Jun 2021
She's coming again tonight
"Weave me a blanket out of your poetry"
Was her command in last night's dream!
And all day,
I have been spinning warm crimson words into a love textile...
Interlacing threads of emotions towards kisses and *** directions!
Listen...
I knitted a "Hello" with an endless angle across an "I do".
She wants my warm Love Fabric to wear for tonight's cold...

Of Mangled Souls
Josh Cooper Jun 2021
The goodbye "bullet" kissed through her heart...
The soul within smashed to dust!
"Time heals everything", they told her.
But I read a script left by her tear trails;
"Souls live outside time"
And I felt her message;
"Time heals broken hearts,
Not broken souls..."
Last kicks of a Mangled Soul

Another Sad Poem
Josh Cooper Jan 2019
Right in the quietest hour of the night...

She wears the jacket he forgot in her room...

Walks to that pond he liked...

...and she dives deep under.

And she stays there searching;

For that tear-drop he leaked and dropped into it

...She needs it...

To erase the ink she tattooed on his heart saying,

"goodbye"

Sorry Future Wife
Josh Cooper Jan 2019
I just hope you have an umbrella...
See

I'm not like real men or strong men.

Coz men don't cry

I do, sorry...

I'm one of those weak men that turn into tears when emotions attack.

So when I propose, can we do it in the rain?

So you won t see my tears through the rain.

Mend You
Josh Cooper Jan 2019
One day you will come to me...

Between my blue and black sheets...

I will cut my heart into little pieces...

And all night long...

I will fix the pieces into the holes and cracks in your heart...

...and mend you.

1!...2!...3? 3? 3?
Josh Cooper Dec 2018
First time she did pick all pieces
Second time, she did.
He broke it again,
Third time...
And she picked all pieces leaving one.       One piece right there on the floor;
The one having his face in it...
Left and Swept in time's wind -
Like a meaningless menace-whisper

You'll Think of Me
Josh Cooper Dec 2018
Deletes her number...
Misses her...
Downloads that song...
And the bass-guitar at the beginning invites to memory, the scent of her conditioned hair.
When the lyrics reach the second line and verse?
Her number comes back to mind- jus' like that.  
So he writes it down, saves it back to his phone.
And now...
He remembers she said; "You'll think of me"
-before the door slammed...

Whispers to a Poetess
Josh Cooper Sep 2018
Here is my hand, shaking
And you're the reason for my sanity lost.
Now I know...
Some poems need not be written
Some poems just need to be Loved...
Touched, and Ringed and Kissed.
              Need to be taken home...                             And carved in the sacredness that kisses life in my body, mind and soul.
And read over and over and over again.
And always...

‘Worship that Woman’
Josh Cooper Sep 2018
Woman…
Glory be unto your sleepy whispers before your eyelids kiss to sleep; ‘G’nyt Love’

Praise be the weakness in you each night you sink your head into the gap between the pillow and my chest...

Hallowed be the sound of your breathing in silent nights when you lie by me.

Blessed be the dreams you swim, in nights that fight all odds to keep ‘you’ and ‘I’ as ‘us’

Woman…

Forever honor be unto your big eyes in mornings when you wake to say; ‘I bit your lip in my dreams’.

Let all worship be to all the above, and the Holy you, Woman!

Pilgrimage
Josh Cooper Aug 2018
One day I shall build courage and sneak into Mount Olympus.
Quietly I shall lay hold of all vowels and consonants and syllables spoken by Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Athena, Eros, Demeter, and all Gods.
Quickly I shall script them beneath my tongue and come back to you.
And then, is when I will roll and flip my tongue right in front of you.
In a new language I will define what  power you bind me with each time you kiss me.

Van Gogh
Josh Cooper Aug 2018
Are you a painter of lost shadows?
A drawer of fearful silhouettes of troubled memories.
Do you have a paint brush that loves being diped in deep black ink?
Coz I got pitch-black issues...
And one of it is how bad I want you to dip into my soul...
You will find all the dark ink and paint you need...
Slowly, paint my choked brokenness on paper.

Howling
Josh Cooper Aug 2018
I see the moonlight in your face reigning...
And Werewolves in me are howling.
My cursed virtues shape-shift to demons.
Hellen...
If daddy hadn't hit mum's face.
Should he have played the guitar for her like in movies.
Maybe I could have found a meaning in you.  
For now, wearing his shoes hurts both of us.  
Flee from me, Hellen.

Ode to a Lonesome Night
Josh Cooper Aug 2018
Tonight the world mutes silent screams.
I make love to stereo chords for solace to find.
My tears mirror goodbyes of dusk.
Tonight? Love has become a knight of pain.
And all promises and kisses on my lips slain.
Tonight I write and sing and sway to this ode...
Coz  tonight is a lonesome night...

Kamasultra
Josh Cooper Aug 2018
Angel, let me touch the darkness...                   
And melt it away with the glow of your kiss.
Make me tell the taste of silence from the moan codes between our sweaty radiating skins.
Kamasultra...
Watch me surrender.
Task me to lay description of your climaxed inclinations and intentions.
Let your hip-bends damage my innocence and fuse deep in my memory.

Night Poems
Josh Cooper Aug 2018
The asking for you to see beyond the brown in my eyes.
The search for the blindness in deep kisses.
The indellible servitude to touch you.
And for moans to taste like sweet music.
Scratches to the skin to feel like tasty climaxes
****** contortions and clenched fists and locked limbs comforting in sweat.
This is what night poems are about.
Cigars on ice!

Dear Deer
Josh Cooper Aug 2018
My adorable...
Are you a finder of a seeker clad in the wings of purest intentions?
You...Little dear,
Are a treasure hunted for by night-knights.
Are you able to hear?
When my silent desires kiss your cheeks with morning whispers of my unsettling nights?
Little deer...
Come for to quench the thirst beneath my soul humming your name,
Fawn!
Dear Deer!

Albino Angels
Josh Cooper Aug 2018
I believe Angels are women;
Forever kissing the red to rose petals scattered on bedsheets in faint light rooms.
I believe Angels are Albinos
Holy yellow hair sparkling in the moonligh
Angels have deep kissing pink lips, I know.
I know Angels give whiskey the brown sparkle.
One sip to it and you can't fight the love back.
Tonight, I want to be commanded by an Angel.

French Manifesto
Josh Cooper Jul 2018
I want to speak and talk all darkness long,
Til you see my secrets and phobias.
And kiss 'its okays' to my imperfections.
"Venir jeudi soir", she said.  
Ma dulcinèe...
I want to synchronize my guitar to your hearts-beats and taste the music.
'Venir jeudi soir', she said                              
'It means, come Thursday night'

Friday Night Poems
Josh Cooper Jul 2018
The asking of you to see beyond the brown in my eyes.
The search for the blindness in deep kisses.
The indellible servitude to touch you...
And for moans to taste like music.
Scratches to the skin to feel like tasty climaxes.
****** contortions and clenched fists and inter-locked limbs comforting in sweat.
This is what Friday night poems are about
Cigars on ice.

Mnemophobia
Josh Cooper Jul 2018
Our memories hold hands and dance happily in the footsteps you and I left on this road.

Now that your "nobody but me" has melted and become "somebody that's not me"...

Sweetheart...
I wish I could show you;
How a broken violin lying on a silent road I have become...

For I have lost command of night rhythms that could sway your heart.

And now...
Baby,
I switch roads on my way back home.

Hurt
Josh Cooper Jul 2018
One day I too shall be like you;
Able to live without me.
That one day...
You too shall be like me;
Unable to live without you.
None of us had to fall, and yet, still...
I did...fall.
And I'm a mess, for now.
But I do wait, baby...
For that one day.

How to kiss a Poetess
Josh Cooper Jul 2018
I found poems of your curves sway in my soul-
So I loved you eternally.
Some hid beneath my fingertip prints-
So I tattooed them down your skin in caresses.
I stayed wide awake when the memory of you painted poems of sweet insomnia in my weary eyes.
So I sweetly sang with a mellow voice simply coz your smile shaped poetical lyrics to my rhythm.
And now -
I feel one last poem of your immortal beauty sleep beneath my lips-
- kiss is away.

Torn
Josh Cooper Jul 2018
What happens when you see blood stains on one of my pages?
...of  heart that I broke that still curses my dreams.
The feeling is gone-
                               I tore the page away.
Can't you see I sold my soul to vanity?
Angels burnt the pages I had scripted the **** part of me.
Stop reading my eyes-
My iris are torn pages of unmemdable separation.

Whiskey Lullaby
Josh Cooper Jul 2018
Sobriety is hurt...
Washin' away with evey drop into my soul,
I have seen your face and the memories of us in the dark sparkle of my whiskey.
So I keep drinking...
These sips draw a shelter of your face beneath my eyes.
In bounds outside sobriety lies peace.
And...
My lady love...
It's the only place I find You,

Deities
Josh Cooper Jul 2018
"Bend the knee", they whisper.
Their command is a secret to a magic show whose tricks I have known.
I have seen life unfold in truths I have read; "Gods will be gods".
Placed a hunger for eternity in man...
They have wiped out best laid plans in vanity.
Tossed of us in immortality...
Whole they get drunk in being worshipped.

Nasilla
Josh Cooper Jun 2018
Are you living life…
Or simply watching
Do you know the difference?
Between shadows in your light,
And silhouettes in your darkness.
Are you able to draw the line?
Between lips kissed and virgins     loved gently
-and mere fantasy?
Nasilla-
Every morning I know- I may not last the day
In evenings, I may not last the night.
While my heartbeat lasts-
         Kiss me.

Disowned
Josh Cooper Jun 2018
It's easy to reconnect with ones you love, right?
Not when love hates and hurts you.
And you become a walking pained reject...
But where in the world can you run from pain?
Where memories won't haunt your dreams.
Is there a freedom day from shadows across your shoulders?
The day you decide to pull your heart outta your chest...
And throw it away -
                                   ...that's when.

Saturday 2 A.M
Josh Cooper Jun 2018
A pressure between us thirsts for each other's lips.
Softly hunts the hot desires under our skins.
Between squeezed sheets we whisper silently.
Tongue strokes
.... Limbs locked
.........fists clenched.
Through the sparkle of our sweat we know;
The walls have contortioned meanings of our stray low pantings.
Gently we tremble in pleasure....
........and settle in sweet weakness.

Pandora
Josh Cooper Jun 2018
"Ignorance is bliss" they say.

One tap to the veil, a wonder lies beneath it.

A love dumped and buried grows, stronger.

And it's memories burn, indeed mightier than a burning flame.

Memories of a sweet ex taste much holier than a new found love.

While some have scripted endings of, "and he kissed the bride..."

Nature purposed us to become syllables of tragedies.

Laika
Josh Cooper Jun 2018
It feels better, Laika.
Watching the nóise die mute.
The night air cold and sweet.
And my heartbeats spelling your name.
Silence, tonight, tastes sweeter than rhythms and blues.
When loneliness walks beneath the stars,
It's the brightest of these days that will mirror the me in your dreams.
Laika is Swahili for Angel. May also be applied to one's romantic partner.

Venus Idee Fixe
Josh Cooper Jun 2018
Now that her lips taste like comfort...
I sold my mind and,
Lost touch of reason and my within.
I made sense of the senses.
Murdered forever by her smiles,
I have fallen harder than fallin'.
In every kiss scripts of whispers blow;
"I am a pathetic victim of my emotions".
Based on M.J Rose' s novel, the Venus Fix.
It's all about a fixed obsession with psychosexual romance.

Dear Future Wife
Josh Cooper Jun 2018
I broke a heart...
She cried so much, demons felt her sadness.
It's better this way, it's the only way I could ever get to you.
Dear future wife...
But what If you become my next victim?
I'm a ferocious wolf racing your pass.
Stop me and fix me, before we meet.

Ed Sheeran
Josh Cooper Jun 2018
The one soul we become when nights are this cold...
The strength we become when we bath in each other's weaknesses...
The love we dance to when get lost in each other's smiles...
My baby love, I'm hopeful that tonight
Ed Sheeran will find us and say
You and I are one soul in two bodies
You and I, are perfectly, his songs alive

Romantic Masochist
Josh Cooper Dec 2017
I loved the sound my heart made when it broke
---like a sweet harp lullaby so i danced

I am addicted the memory of her scream; "I don't need you anymore"
---sounded so lovely

I melted at the cracking sensation of my ice cold lips
---when her warmth walked away

The hell smell of my burning soul when she walked away felt nice

So, my lady love...

Would you break my heart for me too,
Please?
Masochism; state of ability to find pleasure when humiliated or afflicted with pain. So the bleed of my heart funds pleasure in writing about the word.
Josh Cooper Oct 2017
Her depression is a whisper: 'You aint good enough Beckie'

Its a look in the mirror, 'n' all she sees is nature's worst mistake

So she's found caged from time-travelling to her greener planets

Coz her depression is an album of torn pictures of Cupid's ******

Wakes up one morning 'n'  just bundles herself in the corner

Its a feeling of a cold liquid trail on her cheeks 'Oh, i am crying', for no reason

Its her untraveled lonesome whisper that kisses her apart

And she gets to hear the clock tick and lazily sing on the wall;

...sings of the goodbyes she said without reasons at all...

So sometimes she just wants to pull her heart outta her rib cage and...

throw it away simply coz she can do without it

Coz her depression is a silent hormonal war
Josh Cooper May 2017
Before in this galaxy He said 'let there be light'
Amara, in our galaxy your shine had already been! Yes shining bright

Already eternally existing had your sparkle been
Angels' wings flapped in protection, so it won't to the demons be seen

Our vows written in stone beside the scepters of god Zeus abound
I have waited forever in years to read them out loud

I hear Angels crying they lost you, one of their own
With that smile on your face more than any goddess ever shown

Let me walk into your eyes this moment to taste a love that's true
In it I will build a garden of daffodils and a castle for two

Amara not that my words are a mere exaggeration
Othrwise my soul wouldn't be here for you, the source of my desperation

And now, kneeling with the purest intentions
Please say 'I do', so I can be the master of your affections
Amara remains fictitious*
