∴ A signifying monkey grunted (keyboard-clever, morals stunted) from his perch in a digital tree. And next, did text (quite rapidly): “Courtship rituals won’t suffice. Face-to-face can’t break the ice. Instagram me! Tweet me up . . . friend me, like me, buttercup. Sentences are so outmoded— take too long to get decoded; primate sexting hits me faster, steers me towards your hot disaster. Female monkeys: send an image. (Ain’t got time for useless verbiage…) if your snout just might unseat me tweet me, greet me—don’t delete me.” Then, unpeeling fresh banana, searched his screen for Vox Humana. . .

Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer was leading a lonely life working nights at the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory where he was in charge of loading crates full of fukfoorfiffenfimmers, onto cargo cars destined for the city of Cincinnati. There was such a huge demand for fukfoorfiffenfimmers in the city of Cincinnati, poor Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer worked his hunnyhush to the bone. On one of his few holiday weekends, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer went to a hair salon for a trim. Here he was attended by a hairdresser named, Henrietta Huckhellopolis. Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer instantly fell for the husky-voiced hairdresser. Gaining enough gumption and gallasisgoppingguff needed to bypass beating around the bush of courteous courtship, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer asked Henrietta Huckhellopolis if she wanted to leerlumpaloomp later that evening. "I would love to leerlumpaloomp later this evening," she replied, batting her long lashes lustily. And how those two leerlumpaloomped! They leerlumpaloomped long through the night. They leerlumpaloomped so loudly, the neighbours ended up sticking stuffystoils into their sensilivities, in hopes of drowning out the noise. Nine months later, the lovers were blessed with a litter of lullaloonillies—wot with the loud leerlumpaloomping and all. But, of the seven lullaloonillies, four of them had two lumpalots instead of one. Bolstering himself against drowning in despair at the prospect of having sired freak lullaloonillies, Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer helped design fukfoorfiffenfimmers especially meant for lullaloonillies who have two lumpalots instead of one. As the double-lumpalot fukfoorfiffenfimmers were Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer's idea, the owner of the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory gave Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer a forty percent cut of the royalties. *Fortunately some fairy tales come with a happy ending, because the city of Cincinnati was hit with a record number of lullaloonillies born with two lumpalots instead of just the one. The high sales of double-lumpalot fukfoorfiffenfimmers, enabled Harry Heironymous Huffenhoffer and Henrietta Huckhellopolis to quit their jobs and buy into the fukfoorfiffenfimmer factory. Yes, after getting married, Harry Heironymous and Henrietta Huckhellopolis-Huffenhoffer lived happily hever hafter. So did the lullaloonillies.... including those with two lumpalots instead of one.*

melanin molasses, the sweetest love story
do you recall the crunch beneath our feet a gesture small as we ambled down the street dirt and gravel I felt pebbles through my shoe I unravelled When I looked at you Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face Sunlight peaked through maple branches in such a tranquil way missed chances to make advances I always hoped you'd stay a fork in the road ahead we went different directions I used many different methods to try and snag your attention Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face you never seemed to notice you just stared ahead heart bloomed as if a lotus while I tugged at a loose thread sometimes I'd begin to speak but choked upon my words so I walked next to you without a peep and together watched the birds Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face it's odd and super subtle the synchronicity insignificant and pointless yet means the world to me quiet walks every afternoon past the garage and dead leaves we watched the starlings courtship do you remember me? Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face

Filipino immortal of time I'm courting thee now; And making thou mine We both kneweth This day wouldst arrive; Now taketh mine hand, stand by mine side. I hadst amour' For thee, for so long; Now let's maketh, the sweetest amare song. Ourn affection, tis obvious For all to see; We art the real deal, not some farce dream. As tis we shalt meet, As thou shalt get that engineering degree; I'll taketh a trip, or we'll meet in between. I'm courting thee now, Tribal of tropic's; I'll get ****** in thy saliva, bodie's close, bliss the main topic. None material's needed As ourn belief's state; Ourn devotedness, not some internet kiss, everlasting mate's. So now thou shalt knoweth Thou hath been courted; To showeth thee mine love, and to me thou art more important. Other's shalt judge As other wilt mock; Yet we shalt be happy, in romantic cot's Even if we art poor With none food on the table; Ourn love shalt speaketh loudly, none words needed, nor label's. We shalt write poetry As it becometh true; Sweetest earl Jane, just wanted to sayeth, I loveth thou more to.

I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back

The Lollipop King, with his mighty staff, Flavored all the colors of the rainbow, Enticing me with what he has To places where I must not go. His lust-soaked pheromones masked with licorice Entice the hearts of the fair maidens of the land. While I too have fallen victim to his confectionary wishes, Of this courtship and this romance became something unplanned. I have now found my way into this lollipop dynasty, Becoming another member of this sisterhood of sugar. But the difference with me, if you’ll lean close, you see, Quoth the Lollipop King, “I do not want to lose her.” And always alone I’ll say to myself: When will his time come to place me on the shelf?

The Lollipop King
As dark clouds thunder on a grey day, Resounding across the arid plains, I hear the loud cries of a bird, It cuts across the rhythmic drumming of the clouds, He's quiet for a moment, then I hear him again. Through the trees I see him, Royal, an electrifying metallic blue, A peacock, stunning, strutting, Fanning his train of feathers, Eyespots of majesty, stroked with mossy hues. He dances in a flamboyant display, In spot light, as lightening flames the sky above, Nonchalant, a blue crested head turns with pride, His ornate train, shimmering, beckoning, to and fro, His moves, a courtship ritual of love. His iridescent trail woos in style, A life of its own in its opaline shades Golden, blue, brown and green, Colors of the earth, gloriously resplendent, A gathered spectacle in his plumage. As drops of rain touch the earth, He is still high on the wings of romance, His feet in motion, His feathers spread for his mate, Quivering, glimmering a love dance.

The Dance of the Peacock
The door to your heart is a horrifying puzzle Your Jigsaw pattern I can't put together The pieces I hold don't correspond So I take parts from you Which is making me Leatherface And giving you a flatter taste And the ****** chain I saw placed Was pressed to your door with haste You're a killer doll like Chucky How could I have been so unlucky? I can't even cut through your curtains I become a cold corpse before the movie can start Like a careless Jamie Lee Curtis How long can such a curted courtship last? Before I contrive the courage to crush The Killer Croc in your rib cage But the corrosive corrections officer That is your puzzle piece door Impedes all progress to your horror heart Because the improper placement of pieces Will make me think you're The Witch When you tell me Don't Breathe As my theater's lights dim I scramble for an exit But my only escape from the cinema is through your door I grow cynically situated to the pitch black pictures How could I expect to solve the riddle Now that I need to? Doors that can't be opened are walls Speaking softly turns to brawls As your pieces scattered like change Your door completely wrapped in chains I feel stupid and ashamed Your puzzled movie's to blame

*I'd befriend the obsidian sky...    I'd shower it with a bounty of praises.   So that it'll welcome my nightly gaze,      without threats from overbearing clouds.      I'd impress the twinkling stars        by serenading them with songs unheard by most.      So that when the time comes,   they'd cast their votes in my favour. I'd whisper to the nighttime breeze.    I'd cavort and giggle at its slightest touch.       So that when I fly my flag,    it'll catch it in full billows for her to see. Then finally...   I'd woo the twilight moon...      For she is the prize    my heart had sought to pursue.     I'd court her       with the fiercest blaze that burns within...      In hopes that she'd forever    remember me as the suitor that had fallen helplessly.*

Courtship
I rush for love against time And bleed blood by design My heart floods for my crimes When my mud attracts flies I felt a rush Through the brush Of your skin so lush I turned to mush My heart began to gush When I felt your rush It became too much And I exploded prematurely Though it's normal you assured me Could it be that you had cured me? We rushed through our adrenaline courtship While I rushed through your adorable hips I was ****** in by your surge Until your love was purged You grew bored of my rush hour So you exerted your push power And I became a fastidious learner That you were an insidious burner After I became the sole recipient Of your attitude that's flippant The pain is a rush This pain when you flush Disdain when you crush Me to pieces Between your creases When you keep talking feces It's something that never eases When your rush turns to breezes You're a rush in my heart Like the rush when I **** It's a relief that you're gone But something seriously stinks It's a relief you were wrong Yet I continue to sink

You gave in to my courtship, I cusped your face in my hands, That was when we met in Amritsar, I had clutched your cute fingers, Nervous you seemed while smiling. I can never forget that luckiest day, Whatever anybody might bray, Your eyes are truthful darling love, I am very thankful to the dove, Thankful to the dove of love.

Dove Of Love
I dream of innocence of days long spent beneath summers sun a Carpenters son and royal daughter a Queen and a martyr one girl one boy eyes fuse like alloy caught in a sudden trance a courtship dance loves hypnotic rituals of star filled visuals white lights against black night white Knight versus black Knight this is now a game of chess strategizing what to do next. Three is a crowd how I wish he wasn't around your first mistake so I sit and wait for the nightmare to be over for my Knights mare to save her I already know the pain she's due it's as old as the sun, this rain isn't new nothing washes away infidelities sinning nothing can make them white sheets of linen once innocence is lost like paradise if only you took another roll at the dice maybe fate is predetermined numbers and maybe innocence only exists in slumber maybe it was lost at birth maybe it's just an ancient curse inherited from days long ago maybe we were never white as snow. But still I have this martyrs cause yet still I never really give pause the Knight that sacrifices for his Queen for he has already witnessed all to be seen history repeating itself Déjà vu sapping our health reincarnated pain can the black Knight ever be slain? or is it just another side of the coin everyone is still curtain drawing hiding from the dark the day that's lost its spark black night only masks the sun black Knight versus the Carpenters son but white lights appear in the sky the white night is there when we die when our numbers finally up when our slumber finally stops the ending of the night maybe we aren't really Knights maybe we are all just pawns so innocence can be reborn.

To maintain peace and sound reflexes, Sever every possible type of nexus, With ex’s friends & friends exes, Regardless of their sex's, Above all, consider your cerebral plexus, And know that wounds get infectious, If unhealthy connections are maintained with one’s own exes.

The cardinal rule of Courtship:
357 God is a distant—stately Lover— Woos, as He states us—by His Son— Verily, a Vicarious Courtship— “Miles”, and “Priscilla”, were such an One— But, lest the Soul—like fair “Priscilla” Choose the Envoy—and spurn the Groom— Vouches, with hyperbolic archness— “Miles”, and “John Alden” were Synonym—

I On the Coast of Coromandel Where the early pumpkins blow, In the middle of the woods Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. Two old chairs, and half a candle,-- One old jug without a handle,-- These were all his worldly goods: In the middle of the woods, These were all the worldly goods, Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. II Once, among the Bong-trees walking Where the early pumpkins blow, To a little heap of stones Came the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. There he heard a Lady talking, To some milk-white Hens of Dorking,-- ''Tis the lady Jingly Jones! 'On that little heap of stones 'Sits the Lady Jingly Jones!' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. III 'Lady Jingly! Lady Jingly! 'Sitting where the pumpkins blow, 'Will you come and be my wife?' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. 'I am tired of living singly,-- 'On this coast so wild and shingly,-- 'I'm a-weary of my life: 'If you'll come and be my wife, 'Quite serene would be my life!'-- Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. IV 'On this Coast of Coromandel, 'Shrimps and watercresses grow, 'Prawns are plentiful and cheap,' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. 'You shall have my chairs and candle, 'And my jug without a handle!-- 'Gaze upon the rolling deep ('Fish is plentiful and cheap) 'As the sea, my love is deep!' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. V Lady Jingly answered sadly, And her tears began to flow,-- 'Your proposal comes too late, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'I would be your wife most gladly!' (Here she twirled her fingers madly,) 'But in England I've a mate! 'Yes! you've asked me far too late, 'For in England I've a mate, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!' VI 'Mr. Jones--(his name is Handel,-- 'Handel Jones, Esquire, & Co.) 'Dorking fowls delights to send, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!

The Courtship Of The Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo
I On the Coast of Coromandel Where the early pumpkins blow, In the middle of the woods Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. Two old chairs, and half a candle,-- One old jug without a handle,-- These were all his worldly goods: In the middle of the woods, These were all the worldly goods, Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. II Once, among the Bong-trees walking Where the early pumpkins blow, To a little heap of stones Came the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. There he heard a Lady talking, To some milk-white Hens of Dorking,-- ''Tis the lady Jingly Jones! 'On that little heap of stones 'Sits the Lady Jingly Jones!' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. III 'Lady Jingly! Lady Jingly! 'Sitting where the pumpkins blow, 'Will you come and be my wife?' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. 'I am tired of living singly,-- 'On this coast so wild and shingly,-- 'I'm a-weary of my life: 'If you'll come and be my wife, 'Quite serene would be my life!'-- Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. IV 'On this Coast of Coromandel, 'Shrimps and watercresses grow, 'Prawns are plentiful and cheap,' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. 'You shall have my chairs and candle, 'And my jug without a handle!-- 'Gaze upon the rolling deep ('Fish is plentiful and cheap) 'As the sea, my love is deep!' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. V Lady Jingly answered sadly, And her tears began to flow,-- 'Your proposal comes too late, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'I would be your wife most gladly!' (Here she twirled her fingers madly,) 'But in England I've a mate! 'Yes! you've asked me far too late, 'For in England I've a mate, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!' VI 'Mr. Jones--(his name is Handel,-- 'Handel Jones, Esquire, & Co.) 'Dorking fowls delights to send, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Keep, oh! keep your chairs and candle, 'And your jug without a handle,-- 'I can merely be your friend! '--Should my Jones more Dorkings send, 'I will give you three, my friend! 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!' VII 'Though you've such a tiny body, 'And your head so large doth grow,-- 'Though your hat may blow away, 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Though you're such a Hoddy Doddy-- 'Yet a wish that I could modi- 'fy the words I needs must say! 'Will you please to go away? 'That is all I have to say-- 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo! 'Mr. Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo!'. VIII Down the slippery slopes of Myrtle, Where the early pumpkins blow, To the calm and silent sea Fled the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. There, beyond the Bay of Gurtle, Lay a large and lively Turtle,-- 'You're the Cove,' he said, 'for me 'On your back beyond the sea, 'Turtle, you shall carry me!' Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. IX Through the silent-roaring ocean Did the Turtle swiftly go; Holding fast upon his shell Rode the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. With a sad primaeval motion Towards the sunset isles of Boshen Still the Turtle bore him well. Holding fast upon his shell, 'Lady Jingly Jones, farewell!' Sang the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo, Sang the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. X From the Coast of Coromandel, Did that Lady never go; On that heap of stones she mourns For the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.

she sat on a driftwood throne at her feet lay the ruins of a stone man her hair a wild world of winds draws you into her hurricane eyes her lip a forest of meanings tender and soft a single loose tear like a wild horse run free she sat on a driftwood throne in all her glory sun and salt water cadence to the living breathing dream song of existence untainted and now another song intrudes one of loves lionhearted and bold seafarer's son come of age come seeking courtship of her soft hand to be bound in the silken desire's both hot and sweet and the dark ones such shy girl dare not speak he brushes away the sand from her soft thigh and within his mind romances such sweet tender spot with a reign of kisses but just then she arose graceful like the soft beatings of dove's wing and emerging from the veil of his minds fanciful dreams she laid before him her sandpaper eyes so intense that summer sounds like children at play and such soothing tones could not hide her behind he withdraws still no more than a child in her eyes she desires a stronger, a true love one that is not a fleeting fancy dream one of a man who can speak his heart the sand had invaded her driftwood throne so into the dusk she sauntered slowly with graceful flow trailing his eyes behind her like glories of wishes like worshiping doves for such beauties perfection he will return some day a man once he has learned

driftwood throne
I have wearied of grand romances Of deep sighs and swooning trances Of doting gentlemen’s advances And all manner of courtship play I am tired of love confessions And of dizzied, dazed professions And of unrestrained obsessions I grow sicker day by day I once dreamed of adoration Went quite mad for veneration Laughing, flirting with temptation The queen in Camelot The lonely, lovely Guinevere Dainty-masked with girlish fear But when King Arthur wasn’t near Dreaming of Sir Lancelot These days I want no noble knight Despite my seeming helpless plight I wish to set myself aright And tread upon the ground Yet here I am, pedestal-high Too close to the dazzling sky As my life keeps passing by And boys keep running round I’ve let myself grow much too proud Drew up arrogance from the crowd Heard the cheering, bright and loud The queen in Camelot And though I had my faithful Sir Still my heart was all astir With flying fancies, all a blur For Guinevere and Lancelot These fantasies have grown too old I’d rather let my bed grow cold For I have wearied of being told “You are mine to keep” Men have tired me to the core Left me sad and sick and sore And have turned into such a chore And I’d much rather sleep What blasphemy for a maiden fair To toss such doting to the air To turn away without much care Though queen in Camelot But I have withered, I have tired Felt as if my brain’s been mired And find not Arthur much desired Nor dashing Lancelot Is it so bad to want respite From endless longing, day and night? This constant charm becomes too trite With ever staler tone I only wish to rest a while Recover from incessant guile Forget the weight of lovers’ trial And simply be alone

The Universe is our Kamasutra constellations, red tailed comets brilliant devas, divine horsemen prance through the galactic playground everywhere and in everything our eyes behold a starry courtship Romance impregnates the very air we breathe billowy breezes caress our bodies and the sun does not hesitate to shower us with burning kisses mysterious lady of the coven night cools the passions of the day with dreamy moonlight and soft melody Innocent, pristine we experience, explore and enjoy the sacred foreplay blooming in the garden of our chakras So vastly turned on feeling high expansive all inclusive How can we contain the bliss that courses through every particle and atom towards its ultimate collective consummation Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati locked forever in the throes of Love “Spirit and Nature dancing together”

Gift of the Gods
i Her Bayanihan entity, maketh me Muni-muni in the dusk Her Humaling for me is relishing, alleluia for her, wanderlust; I wilt court her mine soon, so she shalt knoweth all is bona fide I'll taketh her hand in courtship, pushing all the past hurt aside. ii I wilt Siping with her in the sugar, in the bowl she dip's her hand I'll dip mine finger's as well deep inside, inside her mind of tan; I'll draweth her name on cardboard, and use black marker to, Like bairn's in yard's, with relic yarn, I'll connect to mine muse. iii And thus to be fused, from ourn electrical sensual Spark's Naked in the world's view, just as actor's, playing the stage part; Though tis no script, this page is written by ourn amorous desire Indigenous bodie's, to light the torches, love HOTT, all sweet fire. iv Mango to be viscid, between me and her's succulent tang Her arm's wrapped around mine neck, not letting go, she hang's; She is Makisig in perfect perfection, wearing a domino mask Ballroom style, she driveth me wild, her love tis free, not a task. ©Brandon nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry ©あある じぇえん

Kundiman ( love song) filipino tongue
Forbear, bold youth; all 's heaven here, And what you do aver To others courtship may appear, 'Tis sacrilege to her. She is a public deity; And were 't not very odd She should dispose herself to be A petty household god? First make the sun in private shine And bid the world adieu, That so he may his beams confine In compliment to you: But if of that you do despair, Think how you did amiss To strive to fix her beams which are More bright and large than his.

Last
I "LIGAW" "The vibrato of this gypsy dance Wanes under the midnight sun" It's blue and amber all at once. In those brief moments, i imagine a future for us.  A flutter of a smile passes. A deep sigh. I hear a million tones of "maybe", watch the moon fade. The blur stays with me long after. It covers up a hollow beating and a thrill of the unsaid and unmet.

Courtship of the lost and wild
laced with lovers lonely thoughts, We prowl. a handful of shadowed sinners veiled by the illusions of sainthood, We lie. etiquette adapts to enchant. laugh to lure, touch to trap, We ****** clothes clutter the carpet. with the courtship climaxing, We **** before the sun can show your shame, We leave.
