M&Ms; and 7up Hershey's bar Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Snickers and a drink of Mountain Dew There are three flavors of Charleston Chew Twix; Twin Bing Salted Nut Roll is king I really could eat them after / with anything Breakfast, lunch, dinner and in between I bought me a candy bar It was made with carmel nougat and cream I'm gonna eat it Oh yeah, my tummy will scream My little obsession It's a bit obscene There is no tummy ache that could come between SUGAR!!! And this chocolate fiend

Addicted
A simple cafe The woman with the latte I see her Those peach pink lips Your jeans fadded blue Blonde curly hair Skin so fair Oh the things I would do Across the room Her Carmel colored skin Brown long hair Breast perked so Coke bottled body And you Oval shaped eyes Sun kissed freckles so fun sized Burgundy bleached hair Suckulant grape lips Thick curved waist Coffee hazeled eyes Eyes.... She pierced my sight I glanced back She knows I'm looking My deviant thoughts Tension rises Three seconds four and five I break contact I head to the door Stumble ****** She's at the door Our bodys touch "Hey do you dance" I so dance Respond "Yeah I do" " well you should meet my boyfriend He does to"

the art of rejection
Brown maple sugar, Cinnamon toast complexion. Hershey chocolate chip. Carmel Hazel brown eyes, Red sugarcane lips. Your curvy curvaceous thighs. With enough melanin color blended so perfectly together, bronzing the brownish shade of your muscles. Natural ethnic hair. Thick, coarse or silky. It is perfectly acceptable by me. ***** so big it needs to have its own legs to stand on. Your blackness is **** And it **** sure is beatiful.

Black Is Beautiful.
Whisper to me of soft sins and hard moans I want to know who you are in the dark When you are naked and alone I want to feel the stain of your wet kisses up and down my kneck Push me onto my back and carve your name into my chest Sink your teeth into the corner of the inside of my thigh There is no pain when I have the pleasure of being in the reflection of the carmel desire in your eyes Pull me under the secret universe you hide in the mad love within the pulse and rhythm of your stars Drown my breath in the colors and pallet of the beauty of your blood red lips of lust Leave the scent and taste of your flower To haunt the eternal hunger you have seared into the marrow of my bones It is only by the warmth of your breath that I can enjoy death and rise and die again

soft sins
I see the skyline of the city at sunset. Smoke from my cigarettes rises, Dancing around us. We sit in silence, Watching the sky darken. I look at you, Take in every strong line of your face. I notice in the fading light, Just how stunning your carmel skin looks intertwined in my milky white hand. I inhale in the darkness, Letting it envelope me. Fireworks start to erupt in the distance. I exhale, watching as they glow in sympathy. Stardust and sprinkling colors surround. I smile, It's so magical with our mountain view. You kissed me tonight, as I thought you should. Perhaps it was the whisky, That made us so bold. I don't know why it is, That I couldn't help but kiss you back. Even though I knew, It wouldn't last longer then fireworks and a cigarette.

Fireworks And A Cigarette
lips become cherry red when I cry and chasing cars hurts from my ears                                                  down to my toes because it was never wasting time    I almost killed my jeep battery (forgot to turn the lights off)              drinking coffee to Iowa cornfields and a resurrected yearning maybe I'll leave (I want to)             --LA, Paris, Austria, Versailles, Rio, Carmel, Amsterdam, Mumbai-- I'm audacious and arrogant--much too proud of                                my flaws leaving would be easy: intoxicating like caffeine        stars        fear        laughing kisses but staying means home and English and standing out like a sore thumb (a beautiful one) in public             and the people I deeply love                                       (and need) I can admit that now so I'll watch the Capri Sun orange sunset once again tonight and try to intoxicate myself with                cornfields, sassy 8th graders, my beautiful examples of true love, ADD, bashful boy,                        and pieces of the world                                                                          on my body

intoxicating
My girlfriend Recently Moved in with me So she decided To call her friend, Who was also A close friend of mine, For a couple of beers In the now 'our' house. Carmel Scotts Arrived, knocked, At around 9, And girlfriend let him in And his motorcycle Sat outside near my ****** old car. He was a skinny Ill skin tone guy Due to his being a Poppy aficionado, And he dressed Like he belonged at A London punk rock Concert in the early 80s. He came in With his huge mohawk Flipping God and the system off And his boots Knock knock knocking On Satan's roof. 'Sup' 'Sup' 'Beer?' 'Yeah man, of course' And we drank and drank And the now 'our' clock's hands Moved and struck 12. We were quite drunk. I put on That record By The Stooges That we loved And went to take a **** When I came back Iggy was moaning about Some Deathe Car While on the now 'our' floor Carmel crouched Like a tiger Above girlfriend's opened legs As she too moaned Being eaten alive by the now 'our' friend. They were really going at it And didn't notice I was back. I was mad, Really ****** mad. I was about To slam him Off girlfriend and beat him To a pulp When suddenly, I woke up. I remembered That I don't have a girlfriend, (I never have had one) And I don't have a punk friend (Or any friend really). So from mad I turned sad And got drunk without both of em.

I caught my punk friend eating my girlfriend out
You are my morning cup of coffee, My hot, steamy, caffeinated beverage made to wake me up, I sip you, Bitter, Some sugar to cheer you up? I dowse you in vanilla cream… Any better my darling? How come you are so nasty? Not a morning person either? Well I can't blame you, Why do I think I drink so much of you? Because I like you? Well I do,sorta, the effects you bring to me are quite uplifting, I shake, Nervously, Oh you startle me and delight me, I feel comforted as you break open into my bloodstream, My body on fire and ready to start my long and trying day, Maybe we can get through this together, Another cup is what I think I need of you, Whether bitter or not we can make it through, So my little cappuccino, so frothy and frilly, I want you to know that I need you, Like to start my morning, my every morning Whether you are just black, or a venti latte with skim and carmel syrup stirred inside, Or else I be stuck in bed all the time There be no you to keep me awake or alive, No reason to go outside and try, No motivator, no mover, just me living my days on my own, How terribly depressing I must add, So I'll keep you company if you keep on stirring my brain with your caffeinated ways

You are my morning cup of coffee
The smell of a newborn baby after a bath, all sprinkled with powder. I don't think that smell will ever change. A smell I will always remember... My grandma Bertha would always smell like lavender. I use to buy lavender soap, and hand cream because it made me think of her. A smell I will always remember... My great uncle would make taffy, and one time I helped stretch it. A smell I will always remember... My mom would take me to dance class, and the building smelled like Carmel.  Much later in life, I entered a building that had the same smell, and it brought back those old days. A smell I will always remember... When a storm was brewing in Lake Erie there was a smell of raging waters. A north eastern was coming - I could smell it. A smell I will always remember... The soothing sound of the motor boat passing by leaving the smell of gasoline - why did that comfort me? A smell I will always remember... Walking down the beach, bear foot in the sand, and running across a dried up dead fish. A smell I will always remember... My husband would always use Comet with bleach to clean out the sink, tub and he would sprinkle it add a bit of water making it a paste, and let it set for an hour. A smell I will always remember... Smell can bring back a memory, at least for me...some good, some bad, but these are a few of my favorite memories of smell...and when I smell them now, it sparks my memory. by ~ judy

A MEMORY OF SMELLS, ARE THEY STILL THE SAME?
There’s a place, where licorice vines have climbed, Deep in the night, that only children can find; Where leaves of waxed paper on trees are hung, And what grows on the branches is sweet to the tongue. Garlands of butterscotch, chocolate, and mint, In their bright wrappers, sparkle, and glint; Bubbling springs of sarsaparilla, through the valley are poured, Washing sugar beaches with reeds of sour chord. Swedish fish swim in soda geysers with bliss, While fizzing pop-rocks spurt, spittle, and hiss. Sunset clouds of cotton candy sweep past in the sky; Trees sway in the delicious breeze that smells like apple pie. Skies will rain down skittles, when there is a storm, Pelting molasses window panes in a giant swarm; Sour gummi worms are dug up, free to take, In the grainy, nutmeg layers of the coffee cake. Carmel creams, Mary Janes, Black Jacks, and Almond Joys, Coconutties, Jawbreakers, Carmel Rolos and Long Boys-- All these grow, in lines straight as peppermint sticks, Planted in brown sugar, on fields of cinnamon toothpicks; But when the sun lets out its first ray, The entire land just melts away And children don’t remember where they’ve been, That whole night asleep, but they wake with a grin; And through the whole day, their dreams will entice, Until they visit again, the Land of Sugar and Spice. 8/9/11

Sometimes we need something besides Covid19 and Protest's. So today sending you a thought...Can you remember special smells? A MEMORY OF SMELLS, ARE THEY STILL THE SAME?

I remember from my first memories with all senses humming waking up on Sunday mornings to the squealing seagulls. The smell of briney sea air was sharper On most sunny sunday mornings I would awken and lay in bed wake..dreaming for what seemed like hours. The smells of grandma's rose and flower garden mingled with the smell of sunny Sundays. The BBC wafted in through kitchen and bedroom windows.Mozart and Sinatra tag teamed  against The Ink Spots and, Stan Getz.  The Swallows flew back to Capistrano on yearning wings. Then up and out on walk and sprint to the Caribbean sea, a gem coated shimmering twinkling dancing blanket of rising sun meets amniotic blue churning as froth and mist drifted in a sunday sermon from the water's deep and shallow. A bubbling embrace as sprint turns to Swan dive into the Sunday morning sea. Seven day ritual baptism in the Sunday morning sea...at one with and free. Now. A sprint to the bobbing fishing boats that never drew fish from their restfull retreats of the morning Sea. Breakfast The sounds of tinkling teacups another ritual as granny stirred brown sugar and condensed milk into a carmel swirling with Johnny Cakes and coconut oil fried eggs waiting and wafting out To the Sunday morning sea. My Puppy and me then down through the flower garden. Of we scampered with cares falling away and secrets to share while throwing stones into The Sunday morning sea My puppy named Ranger,barefeet and knee pants the hot sting on my ankle from a chastising fire ant rudly stabs at my reverie As far as the horizon will let. My imagination flees and unfetters to shores unknown that kiss and caresses my Sunday morning sea.

My past time is drawing punnett squares; measuring my chances at certain genes measuring the maybe chances at babies. constantly calculating 'could-have-beens'. Though, not always certain, I discover myself in the punnett squares written in graphite sprawled across my table. 99.9% chance of being normal, and I got stuck at that .1. I can go on, drawing punnett squares on my arms and legs and stomach and back. Calculate my chance at being DECENTLY FINE. Now's not the time to be drawing punnett squares all over the place... But what are my chaces at a prettier face? What were my chances at brown eyes and carmel skin? What were my chances, where do I begin? Punnett squares excite me because I see my could-have-beens. What are my chances of finding someone like me identical in thought, obsessed with the past and how we could-have-been BETTER? But we're not. We're just a punnett square.

you ask me what it's like to be black and i'll tell you it's a warm soulful fulfilling feeling like a pair of new Chucks on the hot pavement jumping scotch on a busy summer day eating cool iced pops and not ever being afraid and smelling the warm carmel cake cooling on the stove and the togetherness on a Sunday evening in grandmama's home but you ask me what it's like to be black in america and i'll fall silent of conversation because as you see history repeats itself i don't understand why there is still need for explanation in deep adversaries and hateful unappreciation here we stand to be questioned by an authoritative negation and ignorant folk, why do you ask me such things? why are you people mad? why is it about race? and i'll ask you, why does the caged bird sing? is he not entitled to his song or his wings? as green as the earth and as blue as the sky i will only explain to an ear willing to listen to a being with a sound heart and a firm mind because as God as my witness we were created as equal and for that given right we must die? i will sit back and in turn ask you why; i bet you couldn't say and maybe we will all learn the answer some day so join me in prayer will you? join me as i pray: *to the children of Chicago who can't go out to play to the sons and fathers of Missouri and Florida and New York who will never again see the light of day to the mother's pain that may fade but won't ever go away to the hateful people and their hateful words and their hateful ways God won't You heal their pain?* they're so hard on us, Lord now we're hard on ourselves and on our knees we have fallen needing guidance and help because it isn't about being privilged or living for the light we're consumed in being black in america is no longer about being accepted as black it's about being accepted as human.

" The year was 1968. My journey in life took me to a place so unfamiliar to me. Fort Ord Army Base. There is where i began my Manhood. (Boot Camp) Week after week of drills that brought sweat out of me that i never knew existed. This was in Northern California. Land of American beauty. Yet i was in Hell. All we thought at that time was, can we make it through? Then beyond any notice to us, we were all called out for a roll call.. The Commanding Officer awarded us with a weekend pass. The cheer was so loud i thought i was in a Football stadium. We were dismissed, and packed to see what "I Once Saw." First stop. A town called Carmel. Cobblestone streets, trees with leaves of color as if they were born out of a Kaleidoscope. It was though i was living in a Charles Dickens novel. I walked through stores that held no dust. Nothing out of place, they had a Heavenly touch. When i stopped for a bite to eat. Even that was an unforgettable experience. The food tasted much better. I didn't want to leave my seat. What captured me the most as i strolled through these impressive streets of Carmel, was a view in where i stood overlooking the Pacific Ocean. "BIG SUR". I almost fainted. A sight so beautiful to my eyes i wondered Why? Why do so many people leave this great land of ours to go on vacations elsewhere? To be standing on a cliff looking at the raging ocean waves pounding the walls of these mighty rocks. "As I Once Saw" I yearn for more. A sight that comes to me in so many of my nights. Branded in my mind for the rest of my life."

This feeling brings my face to show a slight red on the carmel surface My eyes twitch and open and close rapidly Who would have thought I would be nervous You are not my first not even my second but they were merely covers you being my third are also my first in my mind I can't foresee all that might come The road might me bumpy It might contain some curves real steep curves Or it might be smooth as a baby's bottom I don't know what I might feel But I am willing to jump in For I am that type of guy Who goes ahead pluges head first ignoring the waring sign I will be honest with you though If what we have doesnt feel right to me I will say and If I do feel like it should last forever  ditto For you deserve the truth no matter what So as the days start to dwindle to when we can see each other agian One feeling is all I have I am Nervous

Nervous
Sitting here trying to figure my thought process, Trying to describe the only one I want to impress, Thinking of ways to give you what you're due, When all it ever takes is a simple ' I love you '. The 9th of May 1978, a few years past, Our 1st public introduction, yet it could've been our last, You stopped breathing as things weren't going right, I'm forever grateful, you turned back from that light. I always had a reputation as a Mammys Boy, No longer an insult, I am one with pride, You thought me how to stand up for myself, Most importantly, to search inside for my strenght. Along with all of that, you gave me 4 sisters, For my nieces & nephews, you gave 4 great mothers, You take on our problems, like they're your own, You always make sure, we are never alone. They say all men search for one like their Mother, Well, 'they' have no clue, for there is no other, One with such skills, to attempt to name is unbelievablle, Mammy, Ma... to the girls & I, to everyone else it is Carmel.

Mammy's Boy
Come down, O Christ, and help me! reach Thy hand, For I am drowning in a stormier sea Than Simon on Thy lake of Galilee: The wine of life is spilt upon the sand, My heart is as some famine-murdered land Whence all good things have perished utterly, And well I know my soul in Hell must lie If I this night before God’s throne should stand. ‘He sleeps perchance, or rideth to the chase, Like Baal, when his prophets howled that name From morn to noon on Carmel’s smitten height.’ Nay, peace, I shall behold, before the night, The feet of brass, the robe more white than flame, The wounded hands, the weary human face.

Carnival
On the train to Haifa I think about my father in wartime Palestine, a different time, a different name but the same place. His memories of oranges and beaches and warm, Mediterranean swimming are the times he chose to rescue from the six years when the world was drowning in its own blood. The weather is blue and grey but the sun shines like my father’s medals on his blue-grey air force uniform that entranced me as a child. As the helicopter gunships prowl over Mount Carmel, speeding north to Lebanon, I wonder what times I will choose to rescue from a land built out of longing, but paid for in blood.

POEM ON MY FATHER'S BIRTHDAY
foggy mornings, we're tangled in sheets two puffs of smoke, three kisses on cheeks i haven't felt this happy in weeks she smelled like my favorite book, with bunny eared corners and underlined regret her woodpine smile, will take me a while to forget she likes to scare you, with tickles and feelings a horror that conquers creaking in the crack of darkness or darkness or darkness her eyes shine like Union Terminal and her tye-dye smiles are opaque and clear but my dear, and my god, and my God, she is beautiful she's the simple succulent, no need for water or commitment but pleasing and familiar she's a polaroid picture of the Queen City and **** is she witty she's the only girl who mocks Lana and gets away with it she calls you "honey," in her perfumed sheets with a snowy exterior on the busy streets because from carmel apples to frosted sidewalks, she asks questions and questions and questions and she has a glace that leaves cuts on your heart and a sway that rips your control apart but monsters are people too, and we could fall from grace together monsters are people too, and right now i'll endure this weather i don't care about titles anymore i don't care about length anymore i care about guitar vibratons and laughing on foggy mornings and a puff of smoke and a kiss on the cheek and do you know why? because

Words and Music by Josh Garrels Children of the Earth Once dust but now alive Livin’ in tents of flesh and bone We hold spiritual fire. Set a flame in my heart Illuminate the darkest hours Where I wait before the dawn To see the glory and the power Of the Lord Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah The older we become We must become more like a child Believin’ there’s a land that lies beyond All things that we’ve seen Make my mind free from fears You know I can’t do it on my own The way is high, But we could fly over When you heal our wings. We sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah This song is so simple yet means so much to me.  There are so many things to comment on, but the one line that is applying most significantly to my life right at this moment is: “Set a flame in my heart, illuminate the darkest hours, where I wait before the dawn to see the glory and the power of the Lord.” I feel the flame of the Holy Spirit burning within, and yet I continually try to put it out, allowing darkness to set in.  Oh that the Lord would end me and show His glory and His power.  May the dawn of His redeeming grace burn like the fire on Mount Carmel, through the water and the trench, making all my sinful darkness be extinguished by perfect Light.  I believe! Only help my unbelief.

CHILDREN OF THE EARTH~JOSH GARRELS
FANCY Matloob Bokhari I listened the sound of refreshing rain And heard the dearest song of nightingale. I saw Baby walking in the gentle rain Fleecy clouds laying arms round her neck Silver drops in pure delight kissing her lips Sweet-smelling breeze blowing through her hair Rainbow by raindrops studded on her rosy cheeks I woke up when she called my name. My soul knelt down to thank my Lord. Who blessed me fancy – the greatest artist O When the door of my soul is opened, Ideas descend as drops of rain from sky Sitting alone by fire in my study , I hear Whistling wind and symphony of raindrops I smell wet soil , perfume of meadow flowers See Baby appearing as a column of light And the sky with rainbow in her hand.
