"candied" poems
Love her like She's the raging sea, Unrestrained and dark and deep. And you crave her touch Through aching pores As you slowly drown in sleep. Love her like She's the tender storm, A lovely shade of grey. Like with every whiff Of breath she takes, She's taking yours away. Love her like She's the silent clouds With calmness floating by. Like you'd want to make Sweet love to her Under the moon's apocalyptic eye. Love her like She's the blazing fire, And you lust the candied pain. Like she's the disease That swallowed you whole And you'd like to die again. When her gentle touch Makes your chest explode, And your addiction is your girl. Promise you'll love her Through hell and back, Or don't you dare love her at all.

LOVE HER LIKE
Drowning inside hands. A fluorescent chime. Skin scrubbed radiation. Force-feeding plastic and sugar and flesh. Pushing and pulling until tendons flail weathered Up. And. Down. Up and down upanddown until the store of powders, prints, nails tumble out carmine and is sobbing gagging on a high chair. The candied calculator like heart-shaped pupils and sticky soles.   Opaque ID’s and strands of you abandoned in navy sheets. Shoulder tassels taught on Adam’s apple. Love stitches bedding and hollows bodies. Love lights the West and lines waste baskets wet. Love is a little girl vomiting into a lion’s den.

Evening shimmers wet with Autumn rain It's sheen reflectors, mirrors, eyes Of cavorting shadows amongst the fey Like city tinsil this Samhain night, Oh how lovely colors celebrate With ghostly kin & youthful lights... With circus-painted skins and facade Of candied ghoulish grins, How sweet & innocent the haunted highs Infects each home, "trick'r'treat" of hymns. Laughter like All's been forgiven, All seems right, again... Though hidden faces -  forgotten sins, Speak sie la vie this holiday, With carved pumpkins, witches' cry, Screams are as illusion as the fright, This Samhain evening’s tide . It's all babes and monsters ball This hallowed eve This Samhain night Tra la li, tra la lay Then tomorrow is Hop tu naa... The days after for all our saints... Come the winter will be white, As the ghosts this Samhain night.

Samhain Night (Repost)
Your lies were dipped in bittersweet chocolate; with a heaping amount of caramel sauce drizzled on top. I gobbled up more than I care to openly admit; in fear of what others will think and say. After enjoying your momentary treats; came the truth; with so much salt, it was baffling to eat. A.K.A (10 w) The lies I ate, but the truth I couldn’t take.

Candied Lies
Spines curve as sweetly as drops from a honeysuckle Notes in a melody fill the void spaces Gentle rushes stir like the swish of rustling leaves Flushed as red as the cherry who’s stem is knotted Time stolen from the hands of a frozen clock- Still like snow fallen from a winter shower Senses fully awaken to chase alluring aromas   Repetitive jolts of candied sin trickle throughout the body Electric flow in the veins sparks an extended invitation Contagious appetite will mirror aches of desire Surges of shock in the body join the mind and soul Accelerating spikes in heart rate kiss private secrets Boundless longing branded to one another Yearning indulged by limitless exchanges of energy- Transfers immune from harm Pressure from oneness loosens the tremble in pleading breaths Hands close around each hip to clench their hollows Credible fingers drenched in admiration coat mingled skin One is composed by the gravitation of two Defying moonlight to surrender at an immeasurable ****** Reaching for the highest point to let go Sharing traces of untamed wind with soaring wings Collecting innocence altered by ecstasy Choosing vulnerability to expose what cannot be said Fantasies traded through the rhythm of touch

I wake your senses to remind you that you wake mine
So I turned 32 today. Penniless birthday, almost. Howling rains woke me up and I fell back asleep. And the cat respected my birthday. Did not claw my lips like my usual feline alarm. The birthday flowers in the morning were vivid. My mother bought them, deep red and deep yellow. I requested for birthday lunch my mother’s home-cooked burgers and fries sprinkled with iodized salt. And I filled myself up with them hot and crispy fries and didn’t care if they stayed inside my guts until 2014. I never really liked cake. Opted for a dozen original glazed. Heavenly donuts. Two of them tumbled down the escalators. The first birthday flaw. Like a bleep in the grand scheme of birthday things. I brought them to a Greek restaurant. My mom and dad and two sisters. Not really hungry. Just hungry for a different taste. The salad had candied walnuts among the greens and the reds. Progressive Greece. Then a classic lamb dish. Classic Greece. And the waiters in stuffy white bellowed a birthday greeting, dropping the “h” from my name. Belted out a non-Grecian birthday song. No Grecian dance. But they gave me an ice cream treat. Lighted a solitary blue candle, which balanced on the semi-liquid hills of vanilla, caramel and walnuts. The small ice cream hills illuminated by the dancing birthday light.

Samhain (2016)
Stick a lolipop into the mouth of moments your life is a child and somewhere in there you give a flying **** about the moon and no it's not cheese. That mouth knows what dirt tastes like but that wont stop me from pouring caramel and cigarettes over it. I need a fix of candied dirt and addiction. I'm not afraid of the eclipse because I'm already hooked on the dark. So lock the door & draw the curtains & be content. The tide wont be knocking no matter how much you want it to fill the room or how big is your sweet tooth because hunger is BIGGER and eventually anything will do. So thank the moon we were wearing seat belts. Otherwise we might be vegetables eating only exhaust like Hiroshima force fed the sun because you only make war on an empty stomach or with an insatiable hunger. Be content for the civilians and their children who only know the taste of war. Idiot flavored idiots with a hint of dead mothers that will bore a cavity so big it'll put holes in the head of kindergardens everywhere. Who write their valentines on bombs. Who's love murders buildings, topples families, plowing through bodies on city streets all to reach nobody. Be content for the people who aren't you because when parents ******* in a box you call a country means you don't care you put genocide on the menu and there are some things that just wont do. As I grow weary of rivaling chefs pointing fingers in circles forever becoming a porthole to the ****** business becoming the unsuspecting manhole for the human animal's existence in crossing. Mothers may find safe shelter in the sewers but it reeks of prepackaged liberty express delivery to every where. Be content. Because to start a revolution means living it and what better way, to ******* a reckless pace that finishes first in hunger, starting fist fights with other people's lives and forgets even sooner, than to be content.

I am a thing of many heartbeats many walls, many minds. and some men mark out the ways ten by ten by twenty-five that I can be laid out on a plate losing count at organelles and organelles in the tight dry skins of the mothership organelles. I’m not in these pages, dearest, flattened, candied red and blue. but still you reach, tweeze apart bones for tiny minds, for glowing truth in lives crushed flat on a slide of glass trickle acid on my cuts just to burn me more and dearest I thought you said you loved me before.

She Turns Me On...Cunt Zoo Manga
Maid in China she was my ayi in Shanghai a diminutive young lady with a beautiful smile tough as nails though small and shy everyday she would walk a dusty mile to cook and clean at my whim and bathe my tense body of beaded sweat after working out at the private gym her mastery of sponge I would never forget her soft hands and pale skin a visual treat her dark hair and eyes that glitter like an Asian moon large Persian towel there to dry my feet offering me a taste without the use of spoon she was my maid but more my lover though her duties she refused to dash she had pride like no one other her naked body shown thru undone sash I sweep her up and take her in my arms carry her to my bed of silken sheets for hours I avail myself of her charms with rice wine and candied sweets her kisses sweet and always select the beauty of her warm wet ****** she knew the ways to keep me ***** she was my perfect maid in China Gomer LePoet....

Maid in China (warning-seductive)
If you're gonna be lonely, maybe learn how to cook. Parade the smoke to the rafters after doubting the book. Alert the parents in vowing the earnest salt in the brook. A fervent effort relays to bacon kisses you took. Brine is cheap, and on days like this find a Mrs. or friend, apply the bread crumb crisp. Buy the egg to allure. confide that "this might miss." If not to them to yourself. Try the odd light whip. Find a guide or a dozen. Fire doesn't necessarily deny the pleasant after math. Passable dishes levy comfort on cold nights, dying for treasure dancing in the lights, and forming function digging diamond from plastic wrap. "I could serve a candied berry pair it fairly cold below a lighter cream." See the finer things elaborate below the theme. Mise en place allowing, yolk to heat, folk wreaths are crowning. Found a leek to brown, found out what friends to feed can mean Be the barer taste your food silk confections social fruit Buck the system Find connection tuck the mood in ginger root get your list out pay it forward take the order grab a whisk make an impact Pleat the border break the silence wrap a gift

Kiss the Chef
Mediocrity isn't my favorite flavor But I make do Tasting other sensations and qualities as well. Like candied revenge, And carmeled success. But mediocrity is slightly different It's bitter... But not enough that it would ever cause me to settle For something else That was further from my seated reach. It's also stale, at times, As if it were left out on a bar all night, To be eaten by others looking for, well Anything. As I bit down on mediocrity once more I couldn't help but salivate At the thought of achievement and drive Memories of their savory aftertastes overtaking the putty being mulled about my teeth. And I swallowed the paste. Mostly to get the taste out of my mouth. But as my taste buds clear, And my thoughts drift elsewhere. The idea that one more hand full of mediocrity Might not be that bad. Creeps into the back of my mind. After all, It is within reach.

Samhain (repost)
It’s always been just coffee kisses, they’re all I have left to bring. Overflowing mugs of latte love to spill on your hands, your lips, your heart, Caffe mocha affection laced with cappuccino hugs. Iced or steaming, you decide. Hazelnut, peppermint, French vanilla (dulce de leche piquitos para ti) warm espresso admiration, americano dreams, sugared and creamy to sweeten your tongue served up with a coffee house smile— bitterness hides in a candied disguise but not today. No sugar in the raw, no milk, no cream, no sweet sticky flavors to trick your lovesick mind, no fancy names to make you think it’s worth the cost. Just pure, dark caffeine, ground up this morning, rich and smooth, but bitter and dry— brewed with intention. Just one coffee kiss, for you. One plain black coffee kiss. Take it or leave it.

Coffee Kisses
I don’t have faith.   I just know that I belong to my Savior Jesus.  I met her once when I was 11, at her humble single wide in a cramped trailer park and she made candied walnuts on a hotplate.  I didn’t find out until years later that she paid for my scholarship.  She had passed on by then; I wish I could have thanked her. He arrived at Juvenile Hall at 7:00 pm looking like Mrs. Santa Claus, to take me into her home for a year.  I made some sarcastic teenage comment about the stupid country music on her car radio, and she tolerated it with a smile; saying ‘its not stupid, its simple.’ She showed me what a caring family looks like and didn’t kick me out for being a ******** gave me chores and a curfew to show me I belonged. When I had no family or boyfriend in my life, I lived in a maternity home until my baby would be adopted.  Jesus was the stranger in the hushed hospital room holding my hand, after the medics couldn’t find the heartbeat in the ambulance, which was confirmed on the maternity floor, and I was taken to another floor so my crying wouldn’t upset the other mothers.  The room was small and dark and alone, and the clock on the wall took an eternity to move two minutes, for the entire night that I was in labor, the longest night in my life.   I didn’t remember someone holding my hand; I was so drugged for pain.  She showed me her arms two days later, so bruised because she didn’t leave me. Jesus was the woman from Planned Parenthood on the other end of the phone, listening to me when I called the Women’s Clinic asking how I could find a doctor.  ‘ I just moved here, and I work at a minimum wage job, and I lost my baby a month ago, but how do I get a post-partum exam when I don’t have a doctor, or any money, or insurance?’  I was very matter of fact about it, I mean this was my circumstance and what to do?  She arranged a birth control exam because the state would pay for that, by a doctor who would give me the post-partum.  She also referred me to a support group.  I had been alone but she found me people who understood and could sympathize and help me accept grief.   I look back on that now; there were no sign-carrying Christians or Churches arranging the adoption who helped me, she was the only one who cared.

Summer Love
I Fall has started. Students pile into their desks as teacher begins the lesson, with 32 apple gifts in her bottom drawer. II Wake up in the morning. Walk down the stairs. Grab an apple among the bananas and pears. III Sitting under a tree, dreaming, disturbed by a falling fruit. The apple that knocked your head. The apple that discovered gravity. IV Lovers entwined in each others’ arms. “I love you,” says one. “I love you more,” says the other. “You are the apple of my eye,” says the first. The second smiles. V Kids running rampant, touch football and tag. Trading card games while eating lunch. Lunch? PB&J;, a banana, and Mott’s Apple Juice. VI One of the largest computer companies: Apple. The Beatles music company: Apple. Apples are the foundation of everything. Makes sense, right? VII The Disney hotel room was tan all over. Even my 6-year-old brain remembers that. The green sheen of the apple skin was more appealing than the tan, for sure. VIII Apples, apple juice, applesauce, apple pie, apple cider, candied apples, Redd’s apple ale. So many choices. So many variations. None quite as good as the first one listed. IX The red on her lips matched the fruit’s skin as she bit down into the juicy apple. Within minutes she was down to its core and mine. X Apply applesauce to the aforementioned area. This isn’t a game, HeadOn. It is just alliteration. XI The stanzas in this poem couldn’t be more different than apples and oranges. Gotcha. XII Mi corazón se dispara a mi garganta cuando yo te veo. Siento mi nuez de Adán se endurece. Tus labios, rojos como manzanas, se ven tan dulces. Te extraño, Red. Y, finalmente, te amo. XIII This poem brought to you by: Mott’s Apple Juice, Redd’s Apple Ale, The Beatles’ Apple, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak’s Apple Sir Isaac Newton’s Apple, Adam’s Apple, God’s apple, my apple, your apple, he/she/it apple, It apple bit the apple. The core of this poem, much like the core of an apple. Seeds throughout. This poem brought to you by: My 15” Macbook Pro Apple laptop. And the author, moi. From my heart. From my brain. This poem brought to you by apples.

It takes courage to be born in a grave where the earthworms caress and the night is like day. But where two or three are gathered they will burrow deeper yet, pressing the earth to their faces. It takes gall to bite the mouth that eats you, little rocket ships who never left the ground. Launch your cultured pungent taste, for if you must go, go loudly. Daikon, Cherry Belle, Easter Egg, Black Spanish, Red King, you are conquerers. Digging away until the sun comes to find you, blushing in myriad shades of fearless ambition. It takes integrity to never leave your roots. Break bold and crisp, candied keg of gunpowder.

Ode to the Radish 14/30
I lie strategically in place Innocent framework fused With royal carapace Frail and allknowing fingers clenched and intertwined, Mimicking the honest silver circuit in the night sky As candid as the shore Each slumbered and delicate breath Vitally delivered from those sublime lips Both damp and potent I get a candied wind of An accidental consolation To my crippling worry Sorrowful, I am, my love For eavesdropping, but My reveries are your keepsakes And I, Watching you sleep, carefully In A placid coma, caging waves of covenants And exhaling tokens of a life once dreamt of I envisage the unvarnished truth, your marrow as my sustentation, Your veins, My lifeline Where each filament of platinum and sorrel remain entangled and sprawled in forever, impeccably And how drawn out and vexing My intervals of lingering for you Have been And then you leak a sigh in a dream And exhale a veil of whispers Directly to my ribcage And I simper, cradling you tighter So you can breathe my craving, My contented tribute To my one veritable sentiment. And I seal it all in the midst, Of a drifted and slumbered and deathless Kiss.
