summer cling to the anniversary death camp,
poolside conversations sits in light,
strife your fingers in mine, marry in Naboo,

little Gothic cherubs sky diving in lies,
two limbs grasping in intimate rocket dive,
uh-uh, I scream to be soaked in your brown eyes,
Shrimpy love, grey nirvana,
I see no screeching reprise to our tedious fights,
mind over matter darling,
head collision to **** a dear without headlights.

fall back for another night,
rest your head on my sunken shoulder,
let the fault lines collapse,
the sun burn itself to darkness,
this hour, infinite to budge us.
this poem talks about a demise of a relationship and how much the speaker of the poem wants to spend one last night with his partner before they split.
pretty kissing under a corner of death riots,
hairy smokes, showered under the war bullets,
old sins begone to a new clock,
stars burst in a packet of our tongues,
tied a knot of caffeine, slaps of thermite around your skirt,
acid fumes parade around my lips in burns.

we wrestle on the sand, gliding back our primal times,
flowers blossomed where our giggling feet once fell,
your back skins the light of velvet,
a ****** lover in white skirt,
undressed in palm tree oceans,
soft kisses healing wounds of your bronze skin.

I knock at your walls of your soft pink,
cherry has finally ripened,
the sky preaches white trail,
intoxicating wine segue acid rain,
now our love asleep like breathless armies.
Let me explain all the nuances because I am aware that this poem is somewhat abstract. Thus, two lovers are making love while a war is raging. They disregard what is going on around them and give in to their lustful cravings. I called it "feral lovers" for that reason. When the war ends in the final stanza, their love also ends because all they wanted was for their virginity to be taken away.
we built debris of memories,
passing feathers of bird, reflecting,
the love of refulgent stars.
hair fine as famine's child
turning from the breast of feed.

darling, I love being your prisoner.
hairs fades as our palms turn crooked and grey,
your cheeks feeds me orchard's ****,
every word you utter dances into
old hymns of puppy lovers anthem.
let me lay on your wavering sea,
chaos as you bite me,
an ache to be devoured,
silence to remember,
a kiss to soften marigolds sucker.
This poem tells the story of a man who adores his girlfriend and values their bond. He feels alive in her love and at peace in her company. The line "marigolds sucker" describes how her kiss made everything feel worthwhile by calming the chaos in his life.

lanky gal in swelter garb    tummy foaming out
barbed and fumed  punk  but no feud            
with a hench of post adolescent scents
and cradling a foppy doll of a rat dog

kibbling chancers stop                                      
         and ghop in adoration at the indulged pup
coddled on its back  and in its 'mamas' arms
its peddling limbs faffing with the hot air
                                 and attention

Everybody’s busy
putting on a show,
chasing approval
from people they don’t know.

But here’s the truth —
and let it stay:
Nobody cares
at the end of the day.

Only your friends,
the ones who are near,
hold your heart
and truly care.

So let this be
your daily prayer:
You don’t owe proof —
nobody cares.

A slap on the tarmac, crisp and clear,
From Madame’s hand to France’s dear.

Not war, not scandal, nor fiscal gap
But history paused for a marital slap.

The cameras rolled, the world took note,
As dignity slipped from his tailored coat.

If kings once fell to sword and plot,
Now presidents blush, and say they “forgot.”

👋🏻
Sometimes history is written in treaties, sometimes in blood, and occasionally, with an open palm in front of a presidential aircraft.
If buses rattle over streets
At least you jounce on comfy seats.  
Imagine a divan
Made from a frying pan
Or griddles cushioned by felt sheets.
City buses bounce and jolt
As though to loosen every bolt.  
The shocks must be missing,
A leak would be hissing.  
Or is it the potholes at fault?

Prove whether I do change, my dear,
Or if that I do still remain
Like as I went, or far or near,
And if ye find me not the same,
Declare 't is so that all may hear.

But if ye prove I change, my dear,
Not, but unchanged I do remain
Constant and true whithersoe'er
I travel to, then, dearest, deign
T'admit it only in mine ear.
Original lines by Sir Thomas Wyatt:

Prove whether I do change, my dear,
Or if that I do still remain
Like as I went, or far or near,
And if ye find
I stand in this inky crucible,
Staring down the gemstones of my work,
But which of these sparkling stones,
Is beautiful enough to be brought to light?
I have blue sapphires,
The color of lonesome waters,
Made of solemn tears.
I have clear diamonds,
Cut carefully,
Each face polished delicately.
But are any of these good enough,
To be shown to the masses?
What if they don't shine as bright,
When they are brought to the light?
I'm pulling poems,
But I'm afraid,
I might set the back down anways.
I'm trying to pick some poems to read for a school event, not going too well.
