THE ***** WHISPERER
the history of melancholia includes all of us. me, I writhe in ***** sheets while staring at blue walls and nothing. I have gotten so used to melancholia that I greet it like an old friend. I will now do 15 minutes of grieving for the lost redhead, I tell the gods. I do it and feel quite bad quite sad, then I rise CLEANSED even though nothing is solved. that's what I get for kicking religion in the *** I should have kicked the redhead in the *** where her brains and her bread and butter are at ... but, no, I've felt sad about everything: the lost redhead was just another smash in a lifelong loss ... I listen to drums on the radio now and grin. there is something wrong with me besides melancholia.

In time you’ll recover and absolve push those scorned impressions aside hammer down the jaded edges and sing that delightful commoners song the one you sang so well in what seems a lifetime ago You really had it you know that fiery disposition and nimble cunning those butter chords and derelict style we could see it -- we could all see it it was all it took to turn the evening tide (and rile that buck fever) heads bashing tongues lambasting middle fingers high and raising Cain on those may fly statesmen There were no rules when it came to your survival no textbook rally or common bond no structured songbird or bravado stage you either made it, or laid it “life by the ***** Mr. Poppy would say a kaleidoscope of dreams with rich colored imagery hardened artisan seams in a carefully woven motif But something got lost in the needle point something sinister and distorted took hold the quirks and street genius that were your lifeline gave way to grunts and squeals and chilling night crawlers the colors faded quickly to a cold confining grey There was no grace in the new world no retribution or switch back no salvation or accorded finale only edged platforms of blackened steel that kept you cased in a silent vanquished cell shivering cold with fear night without day all in the shadow of death But time heals all and the polish sneakers and open sores are long gone (though the roman nose and shallow cleft remain) indeed the falconer beat the widow maker this go around and I’m hopeful it won’t happen again and if it does you’ll see me standing hand on heart with that old verse in hand: he ain’t tainted or silly, and most certainly not forgotten… he ain’t loony or fixed, or a product of his self-doing… he’s just a straight shootin’ guy, who had the most of it figured out

Yogurt. "I begin the day buying yogurt in a small favorite grocery store." Not pizza, nor gatorade. Bananas although they are imported from afar and grown in monocultures. Attract fruit flies in August. Peaches locally grown with rainwater. I ate all the farmer's peaches alone stacking them by the railroad tracks. Water -- rainwater, tap water, distilled water, carbonated water, spring water –-- deep gulps, infinite sips. Nuts in moderation, or not, unsalted, raw, replacing chips. His bowl of filberts, almonds, walnuts quiet weekday mornings. Edible plant parts -- roots, leaves, stems, flowers, fruit, buds. In olive oil or butter. Potatoes -- look online how best to prepare. Baked or fried. With a little fish or meat. Tea and honey, play and prayer. Swimming and running, talking quietly. Bread? Bread's possible as the Bible. Each is liable to bloat us. Wine and dandelions. Dandelion wine's Ray Bradbury's story. Cans in a pantry, books on a       shelf to the end of time. Pasta we used to call spaghetti, never noodles. I wonder if I can remember       how to make grandma's sauce. Tomatoes -- cherry, grape. Grab God's eye going by.

Yogurt and Honey
Umm, the presence and scent of a man Magnetic attraction where his feet stands His natural body charismatic aroma Element of charms, seeping to awaken a woman out a sensual coma Is it his eyes, the soul behind his life’s mysteries Flirtation in his smile, tells me he has an undercover ****** history It is his nose that smells out my charms An enticing deep baritone voice, his spoken words, which turns me on Is it the erratic heartbeat he has for a woman, his passionate relent Stealing my breath, as he tenderly seals my lips in an impassioned moment of content The strength in his biceps His triceps Strong, yet such comforting arms An epitome of steel, circled around a woman in winter life’s storms In the cold of night, his body providing your heated warmth His chest, a hard pillow to tell your doubts, your uncertainties, your fears Pulling you closer onto it, his reassuring words eradicating your tears His intellectual mind to think as a man A stimulating, slam bam and thank you ma’am, or your personal grand slam His weakening love, taking your body beyond the stars Woman from Venus, my handsome Man for Mars His groin, and his family jewels from which it springs forth Erected compass of his wand now pointing North A woman’s reservation to tease, please, stroke, or allow it to choke His loud murmurs shadowing your moans, echoing in the wind **** I love the presence of men, and his undulated carnal sins From the first taste of honey dipped Butter *** me As his giving oral fixation is traveling free Freeing the elixir of juices that deems to flee His hairy legs as he stands to lift my weight In the shower, no wait, as I anticipate Hooking my twerking bait His physique in general…Oh, God thank you Without the scent of a man, we women would not know what to do Your presence to a woman is our earthly food Our je ne sais quoi for our every ****** mood Rather you are standing, lying still, or upside down The blissful 69 number conquered as we’re fooling around My Dream Weaver My distance heartbeat receiver His dripping sweat Droplets to my skin have been met The presence and scent of a man holds me throughout the night as our eyes finally rest

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Not for long, anyway. Cake doesn’t settle well when it’s all you’ve had to eat. It’ll churn like butter inside you, and creep up your throat to project like a cannon, barreling through a wall. Cake won’t sit right with you anymore. At the mere mention of cake, your insides will crawl with disgust and an association of icing will replace your taste buds with ***** You will never be able to enjoy cake—at parties, as a delicacy, with ice cream—because you got greedy and wanted to eat your cake first rather than save it for such an occasion. Now all the different kinds of cake you fantasized about trying—black velvet, coffee cake, buttercream pound cake—will only be a reminder of your pitfall that led you to make yourself sick with desire, for cake. You can’t get the icing off your tongue, the smell of batter baking has festered in your nostrils wired to the pungent taste of red from between your teeth. But it’s all you can think of when you’ve been wronged by your favorite dessert. What sort of chemical reaction in the bowels of your stomach caused all of this sorrow? What rejected the cake? Your body has a way of telling you things—we should listen more. Cake is not sustenance, it has no value as a nutritious food. It doesn’t help, only hurts.

The icing on the cake
1 Backwater nymph, queen of serpentine black tresses flaunting its coconut oil gleam; envy of  leggy girls from the Western ghat mountains, and lissome  maidens from the plains, who can never eat as much fish, even if they wish. Wearing hibiscus flowers, on coiffure like hood of a king cobra, your coral lips  silently speak of hot peppery kisses, waiting for me at shaded corners. Your sultry body in me arouses desires, that could only be whispered in your ears. 2 On a coconut lagoon when we met, for the first time and spoke, non stop, as if we knew each other life long, I heard music in your words. Oh! in the tongue you spoke, I heard the cadence of a nightingale ecstatic, on its wings above the clouds, love had prompted us to fly above the storms. Your  gleaming coal black eyes, like silver hooks, tug at my heart strings, that makes music, only I can hear, you are a free flying lark, above Kerala's lush coconut coast, that extends from sea shore to the mountains. 3 **When we relished steaming brown rice, mixed with clarified butter, with spicy tuna curry, tasting so dainty, cooked in bubbling sweet coconut milk, my eyes like two crazy butterflies circled your face, a blossomed Champak*. Mashed cassava and roasted squid, melted on our tongues, in a perfect culinary language any one would understand without effort. 4 Your lips had cinnamon scent, spice land's boons, when we kissed we touched heaven of scents and spicy tastes. When our eyes fell on each other, near the ancient synagogue, the hay days of which is over, a long jasmine garland coiling your hair,     marked you different, from the  the ladies of your neighborhood,                                           surrounding you. How well you did pretend that you have never seen my face before! You have mastered love's cunning, and all the wily tricks to cheat the enemies of our fiery love my Freudian mind perfectly understood. Just imagine the brouhaha we would invite, when we elope, in the last boat, to Alappuzha, stealthily at midnight.*

Every day is the same; they wake up in the same bed, at the same ungodly hour, to the same monotonous ringing from the alarm clock. They grumble their ‘good morning’s; whether they believe it is or not, rolling out of opposite sides of the duvet. They dance around each other in the bathroom, the heat of the shower creating a fog through which neither of them can see; causing him to stub his toe on the toilet or the counter, and steaming up the mirror so she can’t apply her make-up. They continue their ritual into the kitchen; flicking on the kettle, popping in the bread, pouring the orange juice; stirring the tea, catching the toast and spreading the butter and jam. Crunching and slurping together at the table, mumbling about what their days have in store; tapping texts on their phones, crinkling newspaper in their hands. They peck each other a kiss goodbye and mutter a ‘see you later’ before going their separate ways. But then Monday comes... Mondays are different. He knows she doesn’t like Monday mornings. It’s the very beginning of a new, long, tiring week. She never looks forward to Mondays. So he changes that. He sets the alarm on his watch a little earlier than other days; shutting it off before it can wake her. He slips silently out of bed and tiptoes quietly into the bathroom to shower; leaving her smiley faces and love messages on the steamy mirrors. He creates her favourite tea and makes her toast with raspberry jam; just the way she likes it. Picking a flower from the garden; whichever one looks the happiest and brightest, he places it all on a tray and pads back up to the bedroom to wake her. She no longer sets her alarm on Mondays. She knows he’ll not let her oversleep. He places the flower in her hair and drops delicate kisses; full of his love and affection for her, to the corner of her mouth, until she stirs gently. She smiles on Monday mornings. They eat breakfast in bed, covering the sheets in crumbs and giggling contentedly as the cat licks them up. She hums in the bathroom while he clears away crockery, and always re-emerges with the flower tucked behind her ear. It remains there ‘til night fall. They never once look at their phones or the paper, far too focused on each other to pay anything else mind. Their kiss as they part reminds them of their love for each other and of the good things in life; like strolls along the shore, strawberries dipped in dark chocolate, smiling sunflowers that open to a beautiful summer’s day, and of course, Monday mornings.

Its interesting to be in a home so different than mine. A home where almost always two people at least are in the living room, bonding. My family I love, but we are always in our respective corners; father in the basement, brother in his room, mother in the living space, and I around randomly, uncertain where and who to belong with. This weekend I visit Hockey House, the affectionate name I'm giving my boyfriend's home. I mean it full of affection, because they are brought together by movies and food and especially hockey. In my home we are only brought together by food and then we run to the hills for our alone time. Very odd entirely, because of the extroversion holding my heart. I guess as I grow, I find a disconnect with the family who is so different from me. My mother, though the easiest to be with, can be a staunch, stubborn hypocrite when it comes to all things social. My father is a determined conservative who opposes all I believe in. Brother is being molded into the man my father wants as his son, which is slowly distancing me from him. When I'm home, I'm a repressed me, who keeps her tongue latched inside her mouth, and keeps her head down as to not get attacked. Even the natural peanut butter I asked for became a battlefield of who was right and who was wrong, not just a happy cheer for me being healthier. Its odd in a house I've only been twice I can be less afraid than in my own home. I guess things change when you become the person you want to be instead of the adult your parents want to be proud of. Maybe its easier here because I care less if they judge me, while my parents judgment terrifies me. Parents tend to be scary gods who rule your life, and to let them topple in your eyes is something all more traumatizing to watch. I still love my parents, as children do, but there's a disconnect between who we are that cannot be passed. Love can exist everywhere, but it cannot transcend all obstacles, and that, truly, is what terrifies me most. I never want to lose my parents, but I cannot lose myself either. Only time will tell, and I guess I'll just enjoy college and my times at Hockey House.

In frames as large as rooms that face all ways And block the ends of streets with giant loaves, Screen graves with custard, cover slums with praise Of motor-oil and cuts of salmon, shine Perpetually these sharply-pictured groves Of how life should be. High above the gutter A silver knife sinks into golden butter, A glass of milk stands in a meadow, and Well-balanced families, in fine Midsummer weather, owe their smiles, their cars, Even their youth, to that small cube each hand Stretches towards. These, and the deep armchairs Aligned to cups at bedtime, radiant bars (Gas or electric), quarter-profile cats By slippers on warm mats, Reflect none of the rained-on streets and squares They dominate outdoors. Rather, they rise Serenely to proclaim pure crust, pure foam, Pure coldness to our live imperfect eyes That stare beyond this world, where nothing's made As new or washed quite clean, seeking the home All such inhabit. There, dark raftered pubs Are filled with white-clothed ones from tennis-clubs, And the boy puking his heart out in the Gents Just missed them, as the pensioner paid A halfpenny more for Granny Graveclothes' Tea To taste old age, and dying smokers sense Walking towards them through some dappled park As if on water that unfocused she No match lit up, nor drag ever brought near, Who now stands newly clear, Smiling, and recognising, and going dark.

We embarked upon a titanic voyage to a new world. It’s said that behind every great man there's a great woman; But a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. 7 bells rang late that night, as our ship stuck fast; between the devil and the deep blue sea. Fingers frantic! tapping code…—-… Sailors quickly battened down the hatches and stowed away the Riff-raff, for they knew fine words would butter no parsnips, Better here than there in third class. Some fiddlers on the deck played “Nearer My God to Thee", As the bubbles rose from beneath the sea, come buckle down boys for the devils to pay, come hell or high water he’ll have his pay. Mothers row, land lubbers row, it's time to leave this god forsaken place. pulling hard for freedom. Ten steel decks split and snap, as they join the ***** and hundreds either shriek or pray; as La dolce vita slowly ebbed away. Mercifully the cacophony descends ever silent, as fifteen hundred souls become neither fish nor flesh, rotting from the head down. Save our souls •••- - - •••. … — …

As technology advances What are our chances To live in an apocalyptic place made out of waste We will scavenge and hunt for our bread and butter Most of us will try find shelter, whilst others in the gutter Does it have to be like this? Tell me if you had one wish What will you choose when mother nature needs us As she is the one who's ever going to feed us

it's time for christmas baking whether you know how to or not the thing you must remember is that the oven gets quite hot it's not that i'm an imbesile or that my mind is set on slow there's things 'bout christmas baking that everyone should know turning up the temperature will not make things bake much quicker and you'll never get your baking done if you start hitting the liquor liquor helps but not that way it's for the the recipe...not you because the first drink goes down smooth it always tastes like two my icing stuck to everything it even melted on my cat the dog thought fluffy was his treat and that my friends was that metal in the microwave makes great sparks but doesn't cook in fact it's quite explosive if you take the time to look peanut butter rollups are easy and look cool but with so many kids allergic you can't sell them at the school the best way to do baking is to buy them from the store put them on a plate you own and don't say any more if people want the recipe say it's secret, you can't tell you're granny took it to her grave besides, they all do this as well take my advice on baking don't bake if you can buy because you'll never get it perfect no matter how you try.

flex and perspire my darling would you mind a small suffering for craven kisses to have your dark fig **** and drenching ***** stroked with a tickling finger lingering and strong hands around your sweetly curved throat that shunt the breath to yield willingly for sharp-toothed nibbles with surprise tongue whipping? will you present your soft belly and cupping ******* for dark cruelties that excite beyond tabulation will you present yourself with smiles and goddess leg show sobbing for feral pink spires gleaming while quivering thighs turn hot red from the slap of the leather strap splitting stings? will tears of love mix in wild berry utterance and flashing spitfire’s tongue? are you made for this? your every whimper an invitation like an open pink gate do you need the saint of dark desires to rescue you from banal dim-witted all american in and out? do you need to drown in oceanic wave tsunamis of hot butter **** glitter, blood flooding gasms and tender aftercare? my wish that you shimmer like silver possessed by the saint of sadism popes of eros who fill you with the milk of the moon all stars that melt you into the depths of paradise and that this dark ecstasy is the only suffering you will ever know.

My mom used to tell me when I was a kid that thank you note is important. To let people know that you're thankful, and appreciate their efforts. As I grow older, I'm so used on writing thank you notes with the same template on every note. But I, or we, tend to forget to write one for those who cope with our lives. So I wrote this one is for you. Thank you for letting me crash in your place when I was far from sober, almost on every Friday nights. You literally picked me up when I'm down. On the grown. Thank you for staying up with me until 5 even when you got a big meeting at 8 in the morning. Because you know how much I hate sleeping, but I'll be the bitchiest ***** if you try to wake me up. Thank you for bringing me a bouquet of fake flowers instead of the real one. You sure know me way too well to know that I can't keep real flowers alive. Or cactus, or fishes, or my phone's battery. Yea, my phone's battery ***** But you trust me to keep what we have, alive. And lasts as long as it possibly could. Thank you for making every queue line less boring with all your dad jokes, they made me think that you're a qualified good father to your future kids. Or maybe ours. But I hate children and you love them, as much as I hate karaoke and as much as you love it. But gosh, you made me think of adopting. We are nothing but night and day. A thunderstorm and a rainbow. A cactus and a peony. A manageable chaos and a managed you. And yet we compliment each other like peanut butter and pickle on a sandwich. Sure, it's one of the weirdest combination but somehow it goes surprisingly fine. I swear I'm not going to make this cheesy but if it was, well, **** I know this is not what you imagine to be with me in the first place when you slipped into my life. But I thank you, for deciding to stay.

Sundays on the ranch are somethin', Just after morning chores are done, I head up to the house on a dead run, I've called the herd and put the buckets out, Fed the chickens, called the horse, "Old Son," Heard the rooster yammering at the rising sun; Old dog is baying loud to add some fun.... Meanwhile, at the house, The wife has rattled up the kids and lined em out, When I come in, they clear the bathroom out, So I can get a shave and morning shower, And off we'll head to church in half an hour. Or so we think.... It's then the neighbor calls to say our milk cow's swinging by, Bell clanking off-step time to her butter-churning udder, "She's headed north toward town!" he chortles mirth, "Maybe she wants to hear old Pastor Perth!" I mutter. All jokes aside, I hang the phone and grab my cap, We pile in the truck to try and get her back.... We have a chance if we can turn her 'round above the hill.... Why is it Sundays sweet Dolly becomes such a pill? A simple rule of nature I wish I could avoid, Is if a plan is put in place, as sure as Lloyd, Our Guernsey chooses then to go out on a spree, And Pastor Perth in town prays extra hard for me.
