"acquiescently" poems
Oceans of if's running rough yet smoothly,
In a mind filled with diffidence and hesitance;
Far-flung revelries of reveries in thoughts acquiescently,
Yet a heart searching possibilities with such adamance.
Piercing emotions fleeting through a murky surface,
Lulling the deadened soul with such alluring beguile;
Limerence spurned, suddenly pervading transient abyss,
Denial in persistent negation of emotion's cavil.
Depths of stolen glances seeking truth beyond words,
Waiting for signs of undefined warm requitals.
Beyond observations, I've only seen fjords;
Chilly shoulders and disregarded affectionals.
Force your eyes and heart, my presence descry;
And let's have a dance until twilight and time recedes,
For might've we not a chance again, not even in a scry.
Lest make a foolish heart's wish finally give up and accede.
Despite all eyes looking at us,
Did you ever feel something special?
Mistake my intentions not, I don't desire a fuss.
But I only yearn to figure, if in your heart you've got a lovely fractal.
To depths and beyond, I covet to seek.
The precious brilliance of your cloaked human shades,
Filled with beauty offering silence and meek;
A plausible sanctuary for a soul as it ages and fades.

I remember your nervous doe-eyes
and uncertain grasps
like a new shriveled-pink baby
engulfed and overwhelmed
by the palpability of a realm
outside the womb
The canary of your hair
melded with the sand of your skin
and the rose of your lips
****** into an anxious
façade of a smile
It was as if
the contortion of your lips
was stenciled onto your taut canvas face
by a neglectful artist
and you wore the mar acquiescently
like a sketch unfinished
And I remember
kissing that imperfect smile
and being stricken by a heavy melancholy
that descended from my lips
to my chest
where it burrowed inexorably
Your limp hand fell from mine
and as my chest constricted
like a reptilian death penalty
I understood your nearly-smile

Childish churning chickadees--
chastened
in the dark denim confines of the bulging pocket.
Chatting urgently only in touch,
when their bodies grind together
where two or more gather--
like prayers, like lips do like hands do--
Uncomfortable shape-shifting;
feeling tense as legs shake loose the bunched up mess--
digging into skin like silver teeth or a silver bullet
encroached within a werewolf's flesh--
Musically: creating new timbres accompanying
suddenly aggravated gaits--
Ching ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching--
Fumbling in the darkness.
Ka-ching ka-ching clawing incessantly,
as the forlorn children of burdensome currency.
Soon, their captors retire to worn couches
to engage in aggressive loafing--
growing sluggish and torpid,
legs slacken and jeans loosen--
their lips at the captor's hip bones
spilling out their shiny contents like dripping saliva--
and down, down the children go,
choking between the cracks of the worn cushions.
Bodies shift, aching for comfort,
the farther, farther down they go--
their cries drowned drowned
by pillows acquiescing to mushy bodies.
Those that survive the dreadful encounter--
clinging to their prisons--
feel once again the stifling hands of death
reaching grasping groping in their huddled fretful presence
to be tossed loosely carelessly onto bedside dressers;
for a fate unknown to themselves, nor the hands
that toss them absentmindedly.
It is rare that they are brought to the light of day again.
(It would have been better,
to have sunk acquiescently,
down into the bulbous stifling purgatory
alongside their unlucky kin.)
There is worse; for those who are left in their denim prisons
are thrown--cage and all--
into the jaws of Poseidon's mechanical canine,
who sits on its hind legs patiently and consumes ravenously.
They amass at the bottom of its belly,
until intense gurgling acids arise,
reaching higher and higher til
all are submerged.
They are tossed in voracious waters,
twisting and churning and gasping and drowning--
holding onto each other like prayers;
feeling pulled ****** into the vacuum--
cries lost in the gaping pores of the gargling volatile beast--
lost, lost, lost,
in the cries of forever longing.
Goodbyes: *Goodbye,
dear friends.*

Un-parch and part our seas
of need
" Be True "
All kisses kismet
For your being
In my motives, complex
And your presence resolute
Is like Moses to mountains absolute
Defiant to pharoahs fleeing as they wail and wretch
Dry reticent's / fake to make
Gilding what they deem
In themselves as golden truths
A society unseen with no relief or boon
like swarms they only teem
with beauty in masquerades,
still sly as any thief like
A house of cards
All ready for the fall
Weak in their deceits... Replete
Of teeth
and walls
Build me instead no regret
No slaves / compelled or bade
But choice made resolve / tentade*
In devotion's open season
Not entombed / embalmed / awe of death
Rather a heart in spades, life with breadth
No commandments made barricade
But our names reclaimed instead
No fear of dark neverwas yet
Alive even unto death.
For we are freedom
We are loved
A nest, a hut, a cave
A tower, skyscraper / a home
Our kiss in the shade
A Genesis
Resurrection roads
The Universe / all oceans of O
Lovingly we will wade
Again and again
inhale
sweet life's rhapsodies
and the rose...
again and again / our song
at the up-most
Understanding without anger or books
Conceding and agreeing
It is all good
This is us
And now in hush
Eyes beyond sight must
Open / See : the Empathy
questions keeping note
asking not acquiescently
In who's company?
Why, by Love's infinite dynasty
Now know
No one is lost when already home
Love is much stronger
Is further thrown
Than any tablet made of Stone.
" Be true "
And in this moment
Awaken
Absolute
Now go
Always not almost
" I love you so ..."

Beloved soul …

In the light no lies)
"Be true"
