"curvatures" poems
Perhaps your body is composed of thousands of stars. Limitless  constellations make up your fingertips your eyelashes and the curvatures in your ears. Galaxies are interwoven under your skin and how you glow. You glow like the moon in the sky when it is at its brightest. When nothing compares to the sight of the moon and the tiny specks in the sky are just insignificant floating circles. Your hair flows like the Nile River. Boundless, pristine water overflowing at my fingertips. You are more than the ocean; you are all the bodies of water in the earth combined. You are the last drop of coffee in my old, vintage, mauve red mug. The last caffeine induced sip that flows through my oesophagus with a relinquishing taste of sweetness. You are the sweet nectar that hummingbirds look for in flowers and when they can't find flowers with a taste that will satisfy them, they settle on trees. You are the trees that produce oxygen, and the branches of the trees that tower over me like a netted blanket. You are the cotton blanket keeping me warm on windy or rainy days because it doesn't snow in the Philippines. But if you were snow, I would gather you in a plastic container and keep you in my ice compartment so you wouldn't melt. You make me feel like I'm melting. Like every possible emotion i possess flows out of me like vapor. And you are the smoke that forms after you've blown the flame of a candle; you gently float in the air surrounding the space where the flame used to be. You are the compacted tissues in my chest; you fill the void I once had. You comprise my veins, my arteries and vesicles; you are a vessel of euphoric elation. You are my utopia. You are.

On Fridays, I cannot have you. Though the faraway look combs through the glances, the heads lowering and longing On Fridays, I cannot have you. The icicle street of perturbing yellow parallel lines and molasses traffic that seems to rake the people across pavement into curvatures of avoidance keep me running. On Fridays, I cannot have you. I repeat it, a gesturing phrase, recurring, as I watch the transcendent glow, a denouement to a one-sentence story. On Fridays, I cannot have you. Could have: (What will save the moment in untickable preservation?) On Fridays, I cannot have you.

On Fridays, I Cannot Have You
when the dragonflies escape the sensation of being swept up in kite sailing within and without riveting curvatures of wind breaks there's nothing like catching the breeze so proposing this please sweet universe, I ask of thee let the dragonflies free. when the dragonflies escape you will embrace it in every fiber of your being with even electricity flowing up to the fingertips you cannot shake this feeling like the beating of fragile wings poise and power strokes the air so carefully calculated I hope the both of us make it to a safer existence where there is virtue and inner peace then why can't you just release them when we again understood after such a long time that we were already free already free to begin with.

Machinist, Tool Thyself (for Joe)
"I can tell you that Dada was a leftist, anti-bourgeois, non-Art birthed from WWI and not some aleatory root to postmodernism off-shot from a lurid acid rain. I know that diffraction can be seen on horizons in the early morning hours of summer along smooth or dentate curvatures and that it can have hues of blue, purple and a soft-handed massage of orange that gingerly applies pressure to your retinas with sugar-water. If only eyes had lips that opened and closed. "It is said that action is the birth of Manyness and that non-action brings one's soul back to the Sage Mind, the universe of Oneness, the cup longing to be fulfilled and how upon brim overflow it longs to be empty once again because of the relationship between Yin and Yang and how one cannot Be without the other and why perspective can change "full" to "empty" so that the vicious cycle can never truly, truly end. The difference between French Vanilla ice cream and plain Vanilla is the degree of creaminess. Fill up a bathtub and let it soak into my skin. "There is no way for me to avoid being prolix about the things I speak about in normal, day-to-day conversation. Science and reason have accursed me to traverse this reality with the utmost care and precision of language and society has forced pseudo-logic down my throat like a bird screeching as it is forced past my pharynx and larynx. Its sounds are amplified, beak-blared from my nostrils, and its wings are violent, stretched against my neck skin, creating a pale-skinned, ship anchor image from my shoulders up. I'll try to sing for you when you reach my trapdoor, I don't wish to eat you. "I do not believe in anything because with everything comes a something, a reason for its being. They are, 'from reason,' 'in reason,' and/or, 'for reason.' There is no escaping this thought. There is no escaping criticism. I will find the Truth, mathematically calculated to infinity from knowable circumstance and perception. I will know everything and I will believe nothing."

We burn together, but with separate hues Our flames flick and dance around the wick Tips touch and mingle And on occasion consume, This wax that binds me, That keeps me here, away from you. The tears of knowledge weep thick and slow From a time when what once thought was true, Now is not. Yet, your light enthralls me It keeps me near. A dragonfly glimmer, a shimmering morning dew. Here we learn together, fervent flame ensue Distant and close, not wicks but curtains That can't be tamed; Two bonfires in the night, birthing strifeful embers Striking without cause or claim Inflame all that behold us for a love unchained. Your shared endeavors are not mine to keep For elsewhere two little torches, Kindred lanterns in which you keep a light So bright, yet from me so far and dim That to behold them myself would be a match At the base of a tree. But still for you that fire burns, With it billows of smoke carve curvatures Over mountains, which to me unseen, Smoldering luster, an unwelcome glean. Then the time comes, and with the soft spoken smoke you whisper of a desired hue, which you wish to have bound wick and wax A dream within which she is there and I Outside of you.

The Flame In Me and Out of You
Flesh on flesh. Eyes watch eyes Following fingers round curvatures. Caressing skin. Skin on skin. Flesh in flesh. A gin-sung-dream – Silent utterances from the dark-side of a candlestick. An unsung overture to Nature’s greatest gift And Nature’s perfect curse. Lips pursed open, speechless. Breathless. Wide-white eyes scream STOP. blink. GO ON. Glances flash between the flickers of candlelight , Meeting unknown looks in the black. Bodies Embrace, writing words that have their own Music. Heard only by its two composers. Everywhere the other wishes to be – Vivacity. Revelling in promiscuity. Obscurity. Strangers share a warmth As old as the ages. A wafer-thin knife-edge of meaning. Gin-song dreaming. An opaque tonic For loneliness. Hands in hands, heart fleeting. The perfect curse of Man In the stroking of skin. Later, a vague sound of water, a towel A drawer closing – a door latch clicks. The world floods back. Through the curtains, Through the drainpipes Your fleeting heart sheepishly returns, Aching like a hangover. Too much gin. The momentary tonic wears off. Heart in hand, Hand to head. Candlelit premonitions return. Heated flesh. Arching backs. Fingers through hair… Salty fingers through oily hair and Blood-red-wine lipstick smudges and A singeing waxy smell makes you reel To the window for air. And there you are again, In the middle of a city that knows you More than your Alcoholic Lover, A Melancholic Mother to all your needs, Except the one you tried to soothe A few hours back. The one you pine for. The one you lack. Oh, this Humdrum City Rushing you, with your heart in your hand, off your feet. And your heart in the street And the gin in your glass Whenever you meet Whoever it is that might Make you complete… A vague sound of water, a towel, A candle extinguished, a door hinge creeks. Wafer-thin. Flesh on flesh. A belt buckle rings, a zip A drawer closing, a door latch clicks. The door latch clicks. The door latch clicks.

Leaving those trusting eyes— was indeed the cruelest act I have ever partaken in. Tagging along after numerous hugs, These kids claimed that white bus—titling it as mortal enemy. Now this nonliving object was my ultimately my enemy. Silently they wept, I wrap my arms around her, I gave everything I had to offer. Hope Washing over the diluted curvatures of my face, my mind began to spin out of control. Then his youthful face hit the floor like a bag of unwanted rocks—Pain severed my core. Every motherly instinct I possessed now Stood, perched in tip-toed fashion. Stunning those hopeful faces, I turned my back— like everyone else who had come before me. Sliding into the bus seat one final time, my numbness took over—aching taking refuge on a limb. Had I held them back from their victory? Or had I helped them pursue it? Transforming, I will never be the same. Will I go back for those kids?

Spellbound
it begins with silky smooth fabric like tiny cushions on her delicate skin she spins her back arched ever so slightly the curvatures of her feet cuts through the empty air she is swift she is fast she is doing what she knows best her fragile stability is as light as a spider she dances through the darkness leading light in her path the inaudible patter as her feet gracefully hit the floor weave a tapestry of a love unknown. the sun rises as it is done she does not remain she is gone her blood is a song sang just before the dawn.

Listen to that big band swing, Jippin dat doo dattin, with Bing. Twirl and dancing that vinyl black. Feelin' the beat through the thumpin' bass crack. Movin' digits like dancin. Dames. Tease out that trumpet's pinching twang. Her dress twirls through the floor, She. Spiraling blackhole, spiraling through time net curvatures wormhole. My ears crash, jazzy spats, of floppin' bop, on the tendrils of brain, The ooze in my ears feels drunk from the tune, Music peers to the table cloths wine stain. She's the toilet water of my music. Oh that swing. Oh! THAT SWING. I cant help but love that swing like, child's kiss. Bringing me soft love in lime blues, cross jazz legs, Spazzing with cigarette drags, dragging my nails through your chest, Oh that swing, smears me through your dress. Love child, those legs, Beauty those pearly notes, Prickling whites, Shark teeth scratching the record, Or just dust. Slides________________________ Slides the tip of the stylus through divots, In the pavement street of record. Missive. Don't turn that table too slow now. That swing can't stop. Oh that big band swing. Beat that rhythm, Boys...take it from the top.

Tripping Through the Lead in Groove at 45
The fifth poem I put on HP; few* read it so I resubmit as Lost In Space III. I tinkered with it slightly... O yeah, based on a true story.... Multi-tasking your body Kissing your eyes, Sense the tipsiness of your Trembling lashes, Drinking a poem from My poetry birthing place. Between  kisses and rapido exhales, Stutter and lisp Uttered word-wisps, Shockingly bad love poem stories. Right hand strokes thy chest, sensing/sending heartbeats upon my palm to the Forever keep part of my Treasury memory chest. All the while my left finger Catalogues, indexes. It, mesmerized, it memorizes, The curvatures of thy face To be stored in the Never-forget, always-place. My tongue restless to participate Goes wherever it feels like, For the tongue is the only body part With a mind of its own, And enjoys getting into What it calls, the best kind of trouble. My eyes, my eyes, see only the Totality of this moment. When mastery of multi-tasking Is the single best poem this man ever Penned with his entirety, Of which not word survived For its unspoken silence was its glory.... May 19th Laguna Niguel, Ca.

Haiku ( curvatures )
Once upon a time in the Great Hall of the Metropolitan Museum, my woman wan~pale, doozy, woozy, about to grace the floor marble, with an undesirably inelegant fall. Steadied her, a quick diagnose, Low Blood Sugar + Dehydration, her condition I pronounced. The antidote in my possession! From my pocket left, withdrew my emergency tangerine. She looked, quizzically, upon me, even a bit weirdly, marveling and marvelous, as I fed her bite-sized orange curvatures. *Who walks around with a tangerine in their coat pocket?* I replied, doesn't everyone? besides, that juicy tangerine looked mighty good, so I took from pocket right, another one, laughingly, which we shared. Henceforth she has called me, a partial mocking homage to a former actor, who should have stayed that way, the one who was thinking you can always start over, The Anticipator. If you ask me what is the secret to keeping love alive, my answer permanent. Get thee a coat of many pockets, like the one Joseph had, fill them up with with the things that will shelter her from the storm...^ No longer the season of the tangerine, In my pocket in the fall, a Fuji apple and a box of raisin~poems

Zz Curvatures
you've left a footprint in my mind. / you've left behind the traces of the past the memories and a concave wave / leaving curvatures creating those permanent steps across the expanse of my brain / upon the landscaped planes valleyed peaks / and the blood vessel'd tributaries / I felt you flowing in my veins- within me / without me inside upstream outside downstream. / the currents quiet. the tides subside. / you've left a footprint, in my mind. / I think you'd be impressed with the old pieces Ive kept / it’s a residual effect. this left consistent motion. similar to erosion / changing, rearranging- kind of like continental drift. but sometimes there wasn’t any motion just slow motion / but some emotions picked up on all four seasons / breathing an air of cold winter. once sinister, brought pure laughter. the sun luminescent mirroring my skin came spring and summer / I spread em’ wings -to be the bird I’d always wanted to be / peaceful. unleashed. free. / riding the air. it's the best feeling- being alive to be redefined, unconfined. / you've left a footprint in my mind / I was too blind and I’ll never forget this / I just felt the need to disappear with no dusted prints behind though... / and so I crept out the back door slow. / because it didn't feel like those “traditional” goodbyes. / wasn't chiseled in stone. engraved in bone. / no handshake no promise we didn’t see- eye to eye. / kind of equally analogous to the sun rising into the earth / chaos turned to clarity. -I left. but I strived with / cold sweat, with every stride with every step / and the regret I carry is something I will never forget. / I was climbin’ to the top of Mt. Everest. / except without you, I fell off the grid. it was all plate tectonics / my world is spinning off its axis. and I haven't been the same since. / but it gives me a hopeful glimpse- when I'm lookin up at those stars / feels like bright day in the middle of night. / I’d like to think you’re lookin’ at the same stars / wherever you might be. I hope you’re looking at that same sky. / you've left behind a footprint forever in my mind.

you made quite an impression on me old man. Something about the dichotomy of your mangled mechanical motion and the cobble stone streets of Portland -and every other city constructed with a bipedal complex- made about as much sense to me as a lilac shooting upwards through the parched desert earth. From the other side of the street I saw your ***** calloused hands grasping the wheels of your entrapment. Hands for horses crooked legs for reigns, your mind harbors the immutable knowledge that your wheeled prison can't be escaped. But then, for a moment, it happens: With a desire for movement unparalleled by even the most diligent of wayfarers you break free from the confines of immobility. you are a great steamboat disembarking from a familiar port, traversing the ***** rivers of black tar and cement, fires stoked by the thoughts of what was and is no more, drifting along to the tempo of a softly beating heart and the feel of a woman's touch.... it pounds and you listen and you and her are wrapped tightly under sheets of linen again, legs intertwined, arms embracing the undulating curvatures of a supple young body and she says she loves you and you say its requited and she says we can make it and you begin to run your clean youthful fingers through her hair and then boom, your ship runs aground and you once again become enslaved to your affliction. Upon the curb you sit old man, stagnant, face in your ***** hands thinking of where you've been and where you will never go.

But then, for a moment, it happens: With a desire for movement unparalleled by even the most diligent of wayfarers you break free from the confines of immobility. you are a great steamboat disembarking from a familiar port, traversing the ***** rivers of black tar and cement, fires stoked by the thoughts of what was and is no more, drifting along to the tempo of a softly beating heart and the feel of a woman's touch.... it pounds and you listen and you and her are wrapped tightly under sheets of linen again, legs intertwined, arms embracing the undulating curvatures of a supple young body and she says she loves you and you say its requited and she says we can make it and you begin to run your clean youthful fingers through her hair and then boom, your ship runs aground and you once again become enslaved to your affliction. Upon the curb you sit old man, stagnant, face in your ***** hands thinking of where you've been and where you will never go.

Bomb shell She is hard to quell, Lost in her eyes You will find dark skies, Raining on you Answers few, Who would have known Your heart would have flown So high so far Bottle her in a jar, Like the sweetest of jellies Peanut butter on breaded bellies, Find no harm In her sultry charm; Glossy lips Hypnotizing hips, **** temptation Make us all rise as a nation, Amazing overtures Praise her curvatures, Such is this flora in a faraway Terra; For her you'd cross any Sahara.... © okpoet

Quell...
Black tidal waves encompassed by the wall of lipstick, releasing steam becoming inhaled from the mouth that sleeps. Black curvatures sped along the ghostly lines to ease the tick, relapsing legs touching to the web that weeps. No winged-beast, no unpredictable mind, to lullaby the creator of both the invisible and the translucent. Slowly suffocated to the echo of the riled up rhyme, slowly spitting out the guts of red paint. Freedom flown, fists formed, molding white pieces into scattered clouds. Head hung, heart hummed, wailing teary notes into ripped wedding gowns. Cycle of the eaten, and the uneaten, all must gallantly fall; however births ripples. Sanctions of the needed, and the unneeded, all must dauntingly call; however pictures simple.

Head hung, Heart hummed
is this craft that chose you, not defined by machine millimeters, precision absolute, curvatures, so eye-pleasing, they demonstrate no tolerance for tolerance of the ordinary? ***the skill of words, too, cut so fine, find the  extraordinary within, refine, refine, refine, shave away the trite, the reused, discard the instant recognition, unusable***

this craft that chose you (a snippet)

Haiku ( curvatures )
as darkness cradles its palpability encompasses dreams a moments sway... inebriates as images of him passes through salient memories of Him and I those moments spun like silk... his visage visible; an augury to me dreams allusion dallies like gossamer in gentle breezes teasing, taunting in its promise of fulfillment dreams alight... his ambling soft, blush arises as I bow into maleness, where urgency slides, tasting silken curvatures; that stare into hazel eyes beckon lips memories caress... rise and fall of gasped breaths unleashed wilder dreams beneath thirst of his eyes, swallowed by seduction those naked memories... flush, deep within our hunger; a rush fed into sweet pulses, bodies rise; cognizance slips back, wetness effusive drenched... entwined, legs, hips fingertip forages; his breath mine mingle and whispered moans abandoned... those dreams linger still in darkness of midnight calling his name in want a remembered taste...
