erstwhile a halcyon extant universe incessantly ceaseless
cradled itself in hues of violet phosphorescence
laced with cobalt shimmering stars
perpetually whole it nonetheless
sought to know itself

encompassing all that is bubbling over in effervescent ebullience
intertwined with indescribable catastrophic splendor
it shattered into tens of millions of splinters
of eloquent efflorescent light
shining in the night

each splinter heretofore imbued with sempiternal felicity
began to conjure sumptuous dulcet elixirs
furtively seeking out savory emollients
to mollify the pique of separation
plummeting they fell

into monstrous competition seeking demesne they lost the purpose
of gaining awareness and intelligent consciousness
surreptitious estrangement overflowed
deluging them in excruciating agony
thus an epiphany was born

the carving of the beleaguered fragments inked with tremendous pain
created a transfiguration of splinters to crystals
hence enlightenment commenced as the gems
magnetized together constructing a world
where omnipotence shines

the ineffable beauty formed by the reintegration of crystals
far exceeds the original as they dazzle with universal light
bursting from diamonds etched in deep wisdom
flooding the firmament with kaleidoscopic
rainbow strobes cascading the sky

This is a hymn for a him,
Close your eyes, imagine,
Soft, dextrous hands in motion,
Soothing aching muscles with lotion,
Smoothing with unguents,
Rubbing with emollients,
R.....E.....L....A.....X.....I.....N......G.....
You'­ll wake up smiling,
I'll ease away your frowning,
Compliant massage dreaming,
Healing hands for him,
Close your eyes, imagine........

Heartbreak Poems Writ After Midnight

Poems writ after midnight
Effervesce intensity, how can it be, both an
Awakening, a dreading, a deadening?
Volcano in the chest, bullet in the head,
Cry stifled, but heard blocks away,
Almost reaching a house where you live

Poems writ after midnight
Presage dread of day soon to start,
Come forth more effortlessly,
Spill, soil, stain - simultaneous - pillow, cheek, us.
Rivulets of senses aflame,
Police cars and fire engines scream warning, coming,
Roaring warning lights of silent pain, heard blocks away,
Almost reaching a house where you live

It's June and from hallways and town streets,
Your shadow will disappear, graduate, not from, but to
You-know-where, the place where
Emo music is born and screamos die,
Same **** place that
Poems come from after midnight

Offered emollients, creams, stupid words,
Drugs, hugs, catch phrases that never soothe, irritate hurt worse,
The only word in the universe of words
I can't explain
A four letter gift my lover 'presented' and
It is pain

Read somewhere some poems never end,
Now I understand that better,
Cause there are no bandages, stitches that can close,
Cause there are no pills, switches that can shut off,
The ripping sound, the cutting noise, the raging inside
Heard blocks away, almost reaching a house where you live,
And dying in the same **** place that
Poems come from after midnight.

5:16 am forever

Yōko Nogiwa was possessed by devils. Yōko Nogiwa endured exorcism. I shall remember her to our Lord. Yōko Nogiwa's beauty blinded her to essential truths. I felt her temporal brain's pain.

Yōko is dead-set in heat & I dare not for now ever leave her as I am
anticipating sub-tropic monsoon, wearin' floods, eating wild ******
while dealing with rash that's symptomatical of non-typhoidal fever that no medician can extirpate via scalpel wielded as an axe-cleaver
in an eldery Romani queen's ****-house as a klepto-swiping believer
or in an X-Roma crone flit's crap-house as a crap-swipin' receiver or
in a Roman crone queen's ****-house as a runny ****-wipin' deceiver

Emollients are hard to come by
For this agronomy of my soil.
The hay is vague, the crops are spoiled.
I want, I toil, I quail the mail.
I'm tired, detailed, drawn as a
Pawn to the business grail.
My stool needs Emollient
My head needs painkillers.
Last nerves have got my words
My country and home
Needs a exfoliate !

Rancid emollients
Abrasive salves
Crocodile tears
Insipid passion
Contrived emotions
Spare me your
Hollow empty
Sin mongering
Religious rectitude
And make your
Living like we do
Earn it!
I am so tired and disgusted with grown men of "the cloth" playing moral arbitrators in our lives, while preying upon the innocent. The hypocrisy is despicable, and I have personal experience, so spare me your defense of the Holy Sea and its factions! If there was no God and no church would you all of a sudden have no sense of moral turpitude? What utter nonsense!
You must  bathe with foul monkeys and apes
in the cool waters beneath India's morning sun
while the shadows dance in palm frond shapes
that darken a beginning you've not yet begun

You must  bathe with foul monkeys and apes
in the cool waters beneath India's morning sun
while the shadows dance in palm frond shapes
over the beginning you have not yet begun

You must bathe naked with foul monkey chimp apes
in the murky river waters beneath India's noon sun
while devilish shadows dance in palm frond shapes
to cloud the sad beginning you have not yet begun

I thought emollients were payment for work done, but it turns out that they're not, they are something you might put on a rash or a spot, I've still got some learning to do.
“Yo tengo una pluma,* *******.” (“I have a pen, *******.”) ~ Spanish 102: “Yo tengo dos plumas, *******.” (“I have two pens, *******.”) ~ Yōko Nogiwa's pain was re-lieved with rare emollients. Yōko Nogiwa was possessed by devils. Yōko Nogiwa endured exorcism. I shall remember her to our Lord. Yōko Nogiwa's beauty blinded her to essential truths. I felt her temporal brain's pain.
