I would have taken the easy path But that would leave no room for glory I would have picked out a comfortable life But that isn't God’s kind of story I would have followed a prettier road But missed the most beautiful way I would have clung to familiar things But lived out my days in the grey I would have chosen what’s stable But grown cold, apathetic and bored I would have sought out earth’s riches But lost all that in heaven is stored I would have liked more successes But not learned so quickly of grace I would have seen myself praised more But given up knowing God’s face I would have tied all my loose ends But not known it’s He Who brings peace I would have wanted for happier times But traded a joy that can’t cease I would have opted for normal But not tasted rare delicacies I would have preferred a man’s love But been robbed of Divine intimacy He’s chosen for me the high road More jagged, more narrow and steep So now I must travel this difficult way Ever knowing it leads to the deep Now I must choose to cherish His path And trust Him to walk with me there Now I must hasten to take up my cross The fellowship of His sufferings to share For one day this life will be over And all my afflictions will end It is then I will see what all this is for In my Bridegroom, my Savior, my Friend

Eid is here.
You seek a crown of gold And yet the heart is fallow A famine of the soul Unbeknownst and unconcerned The poor hunger for food and shelter And you have an appetite that’s never satiated The many feasts of endless delicacies and wealth Has not spoiled your cravings Yet they who are lacking in all that is tangible to you Have something you lack and cannot acquire They give to others that have less than them And feel their anguish And revel in their friendship Their crown is empathy

Empathy
It’s something that try we should To provide the parrot its basic food Apple minus seeds mango banana Grape orange guava papaya As for vegetables cooked dried bean With beet broccoli its heart you can win Cucumber carrot and cauliflower They surely love like they love a shower Corn on the cob is fun for parrot They aren’t fussy as them you thought Hot peppers peapod lettuce For them delicacies you can choose Sweet and baked potato well cooked yam They devour in delight add to their glam Parrots are cute friendly and nice Give them oatmeal millet brown rice They’re not greedy from you they won’t beg Though these birds love scrambled boiled egg The parrot is innocent gorgeous and sweet Can’t call them carnivore yes they like meat Must talk to them and not keep your mouth shut Your loving pet the parrot loves occasional nut. Now words of caution what don’t do them good Candy and chocolate and all junk food I know you are smart and not at all mean To offer this wonder bird mushrooms caffeine Believe my words they aren’t my opinion Use them in your food don’t give them onion Dairy products for them are a big ‘no’ ‘no’ You surely want them to healthily glow Give the parrot shower keep its cage clean Give them just fresh foods no sugar no caffeine Say ‘no’ to pesticides choose only organic See in their bowel nothing goes toxic Follow what I’ve said the task is not hard Spend your time well with this beautiful bird.

Bakery.
Absence of malice Her smile whispers Eyes in agreement with subtle grace Indulged gestures I prearrange From the first place am I caught in a haze With the rate of exchange and no charming phrase   Exquisite delicacies seem ornamental yet feels pretty real her flirtatious displays No harm I can still be sentimental As I take note to compose then reappraise Empirical proof whether artful or not Her passes are strickly incidental

Fatima Latima I had wished I had no gift of sight That the worst I could endure is hear you speak And not snapshot the footfall of your gradation You may not be a thief Nor **** daughter of the dayspring But definitely my heart you stole I speak of the daughter of Arabia Aesthetically, she rocks The queen of the pilgrim sands And aeonian desert stones Beyond the hijab Artistically knead with consummate craft Like the relics of Mecca Blest by the prophet’s bones The blessed I see torches Beaming with intelligence Within those mascaras Exquisitely trimmed and vibrant A lulu class botany She fixes a searching gaze As she saunters close And the stride and tread Beats a drum entrancing Soothed in her solacing spell I give in, to her lullaby She halts her perambulation Stands magniloquent and stupefy Like some pop diva magazine pose Or Victorian secret shot A tactical derangement of her gluteals As she rests her palm in its cleft I feel contractions, my dartos muscles The blew of summertime Gently beats her exceptional form Her belt submerge her thigh crevice Cleft by the sundered rift of fleshy fat Built by the dainties and delicacies Seasoned by the finest Arabian chef As her silken dress slithers and gowns Under the breeze bulging and blooming Like a rose blossom or sunflower fore As she bends down To assuage the burlesque The sun specula lilts her sensational Her smile apologetic bids me stillness I am caught staring Guzzling down her scent and Feasting on empty imaginations Of What If that accentuate the mind and Speed a hormone And I pray I sin no more Next time we meet and I see her again For I am but a writer Learning to use my pen and paper And hope you but forgive My linguistic impotence When I make my confession Employing too plain a language When I say thus; Her smile is classical Her walk magical Her beauty celestial Her stride sensational Her religion ethical Her character spotless And that leaves me breathless And forgive if I step on broken toe And try speak of the unspoken Her ****** is sacred Her being a type that dresses up In the milliards of brutes dressing down And shamelessly style it fashion I must see a priest One confession I ought to utter And even vociferate abroad For once I had fallen in love With an Arabian Beautie A ****** of Mecca.

Quack! Quack! Quack! Ok, where’s everybody? I’ve been gliding round in this pond the last half hour singing my Duck-thoven tunes: Quack! Quack! Quack Quack!Quack! Quack! And so why’s everyone avoiding me like I don’t know how to make conversation? Quack? Quack? The other day the duckling glided near and asked if I’d share bits of the bread thrown to me by these pesky humans who can’t read the Don’t-feed-the-ducks signs and I swallowed the bread bits whole and said: Quack! Quack! Quack! And the silly duckling ran away crying! – Hey how can I answer with food in my mouth? Quack! Quack! Quack! Your mum taught you to speak with food in your mouth? Quack! Quack! Quack! Have you got any brains in that quacking head of yours, duckling? Really, no reason to avoid me… I mean the other day they asked me what I think about the environment and I said: Quack! Quack! Quack! and they all looked astonished at the wisdom of my words. So why avoid me now? This cute **** duck glided quite close to me and asked me what I thought about pre-marital *** and I said: Quack! Quack! Quack! and I flapped my wings and walked on water and held my head high with the sweetest: Quack! Quack! Quack! and that silly female duck jumped to the overhanging branches and refused to come down for all my quacking: Quack! Quack! Quack! Seriously, what’s this all about? – You excite a ****** duck and then hide in the branches? What’s this pond coming to! The other day a silly fish swam close to me and asked for directions round the pond and I said: Quack! Quack! Quack! And the fish said: Hey! I don’t understand Duck language. Don’t you speak Finglish? What the Duck! I said. Why don’t you learn Quacklish! Quack!Quack!Quack! So where’s everybody? And really I don’t understand why everyone’s avoiding me. I mean really I can qua-ttle off the Entire History of the Pond and the Holy Texts Revealed by Duck God to the Duck Prophets and I can quack about anything and I can quack about all the wines and grog and I can teach the creatures how to change pond water into wine; and I can quack about all the delicacies in the pond and I can sing too, listen: Quack! Quack! Quack! And such a delightful voice and such original tunes too! A graduate of Duck-kovsky Underwater Academy. And so – hey! – where’s everybody? Why do they avoid me like I’ve got the Swine Flu or something? Hey, I’m just a pond duck who likes to Quack! Quack! Quack! You got a problem with that, you quacks!

Like a lotus emerging Unsullied From the mud, So have you appeared, In this world, Yet not of it. I consider myself Most blessed of all men For having glimpsed upon your face. Not even Michelangelo, With all his magnificent frescoes, Could have conceived of such beauty. The most flowery prose of Marquez wilts, Inadequate to fully describe your radiance. The supple, rich compositions of Mozart Are a rancorous cacophony Compared to the melody of your voice. Your entire being is a testament To the masterful craftsmanship of our Lord. I may circumnavigate this world Sample the most luscious of delicacies Climb the lofty peak of Everest Swim the English Channel Trek the Ural Mountains Watch the Caribbean sunset Walk the entirety of the Great Wall But none of these shall hope to compare with the blissful moment When my eyes fell upon you. It was truly a day of days, One which no other can rival. You stood out A swan Regal in its repose Amongst Ducks Babbling away In their ignominy. I have found my muse -- Alas! -- But for a moment. Yet I shall not rage. Neither shall I weep. Just because He got to you first. Just because He is Perhaps More worthy Of you. I shall not fly Into a maelstrom of emotion Sulk with resentment And seethe with envy Just for losing Something Someone I never even had. Just because She will never be mine. I shall not have To lower and abandon myself To the maddening clutches Of grief To wantonly fling My artless soul At the burning altar Of undignified melancholy. For it is foolish. Yet I cannot help But do exactly this. Act like the boy, The child, That I am. For what else am I? I am not a man Like him After all. Not adequate For anything Resembling a soulmate For anyone Like her. I can never hold you In my arms Never gaze Into your eyes My ears can never hear you Whisper Sweet nothings. And My lips shall never Meet yours. So what Else Can I do But mourn?

Torrential rain forms an interference pattern deep within the puddles of the soul, whilst vegetation gains sustenance. Electricity may be a force to be reckoned with because it is a commodity which has monetary significance. Multicultural delicacies are a work of art in La Cucina Toscana, and I wholeheartedly acknowledge your internal drives. We truly are a deep river which is never the same when it is stepped into more than once. But we can balance it all out, because relativism tells us that there are no rules. How absolutely ineffective is such a position. I am amazed. Just think about how we determine the consistency of seemingly genuine interpersonal transactions. If you want to find healing, then we must look to the howling winds of Siberia, where solitary journeys are sealed with a definite song of permission.

Oedipus Appetites
Curls. Lengthened, stretching Auburn curls. Winding around the delicacies Of profound life. Growing incandescently In a newfound, unsound method. Vibrant with innovation, Yet in the same instance, arid. Questionable. Irresistible. Undefinable. Desirable. Allegorical. Many are awe-struck by this oracle -- She loathes her curls.

Ah! the light
superb partaking of private delicacies yet always keeping track of the skyline keeping senses alert, never fully falling I allow myself to get hurt each time that skyline changes not because I enjoy the pain but there's just something about you I'm not willing to lose, not that easily so, I swallow ******* and suppress the ego and take the whipping words readily whatever it takes there may come a relinquishing moment when I can just give and let it all flow free fall, like a kite almost but for now, when shadows may come and place arms round the heavens ****** sun rays from abode and kiss the air into a messy cloudburst and leave the sky taut with approaching footfalls of fiery thunder claps I take it all and want it no other way I accept the paradox fully the pattern has been set it is consistent this mega beautiful skyline over me hovers so discreet in plain sight yet blind to all I see the veins on the back of your hand, and blood veering sideways towards impossible thoughts yes a line upon the horizon tells me never fear a stringent fire walk simply tests the mettle coil discoveries in life confirm nobody is alone as deep and low as it gets sometimes the highs, oh! the highs outfly the roof take what you need from life now and from me yet take your sweet time until the day I see your eyes reflected in that skyline and your lamp beckoning on, into this frame your skyline tastes so good

Shropshire the outback of hives and mires A birthplace of industrial revolution Built with ***** iron and bricks submerged in the depths of the water beds Shropshire the strength in the metal structure A cast of firm shields and fields The greenery of contrasting yellowy yields A mirage of hills sat on pillar heights The breeze so fresh as sun prints on the canal The warmth so intense as the bird hums in the nests Labour artisans and metalsmith at the heart of coalbrook dale Bricks aisles of pathways along the river Bordered by vintage delicacies of the magnificent nature

your heart pumps kerosene to your matchstick veins, & maybe i imagined things, but i remember your eyes as ember rings & i can't wipe my memory clean of the dingy debris-- the delicacies of your legs & knees-- this fire's not extinguishing!! those ashes you disguise as eyelids won't keep me from the iris i know i'll find inside them & i'll skim past your skin grafts to your smoke-smothered stomach then plummet to your flame-engraved pancreas ((scarred from swallowed promises)). these propane x-rays can't scan the barcodes on the charcoals that the holes in your heart hold

Half of a stale croissant, A cupcake with no icing, Partially consumed slice of cold pizza, A special computer file, Called old and cold, Some files nothing more Than titles on a snowy screen. A smorgasbord of delicacies, A mason jar with a lidded hole To keep the prisoners alive but in, The insides of my refrigerator brain. Where the partial poem pastries reside. Some jots and dashes get microwaved, Served up instantly, hot n' piping, Read me read me now for I am Ready to be served. Ah, the others, miserable creatures in a Special Victims Unit, In a ward where the doctor has no more Release forms to sign, Dream on, awaiting a super nova, A comet tail, a torn screen window corner, To engineer an escape. Kitty, my kitty, Give me your tired, poor scraps of prose Yearning to be free, I have a place for them, where They will reside unhappy, but free, In good company, Waiting for the day they get to see the Statue of Liberty. Until that day, when, Your happy love poems yearning to be whole, Say, "now I have the ending," To let them breathe... Now I have the closure, That is the opening, I will guard them closely, As if they were fragments of mine own Blood, sweat and tears.

Partial Poem Pastries
A surface gleams its slick ripples, Solid liquid covering varied depths, Frigid water held strong to the reflection of sky. Held steady in gray by overcasts, That hide the blemishes on this day. Crack a warning, glints of sarcasm pierce the eye. Somewhere below live antique creatures, Demons of yesterday encapsulated. Slow with slime and cold with sleep, They dream of spring, dream of a thaw. When sunshine blasts the sound of life, Screams an alarm none dare not keep. The slow shift strains patience, Green bubbles from woody mottled arms. Here and there come the arthropods, Beginning their feast upon new bounty. Finding themselves delicacies to another, The flying predator of the mighty worms. Singing sweet songs that bring dismay, From April to June sometimes beyond. Summer arrives in time to sear, Tears from this repressed eyesight, The cold winter from the dark water, Which breed parasites unknowingly to pester. Teasing sanity of forest dwelling fauna, To fester in the skin as a tick or leech. Drawing life out into the open plane, Whittling down strength for another day As we lay out the bitter harvest, As we find another season of complaint. Reed Bass January 5, 2008

The Muck And Mime
I played with whipped cream last night... Coated my fingertips...like candles snuffed at their prime... Each fingertip returning to its original cleanliness under the spell of my tongue... Circling the shape of my eyes...the maps that guide my soul into motion.... Tracing the slope of my nose...interpreter of the sensations that surround me... Amazing the sensualities that are carried on the wind... Scaling the outline of my lips....filling every crease and curve... Jealous my body becomes...taking in the delights from above... Shoulder slope...slippery slide...collar bones coated...nipples nestled... The tips of my fingers crave more canvas...more skin... Sticky steam caresses me...bubbles spawn webs of lace upon my skin...as for the rest? Delicacies dancing within me.

Whipped Cream...
"You're ******* your life away Bobby," screamed Auntie Abhaya in her native tongue. Malayalam has many nuances and maybe a better translation is, "lightning currents from your privates and blast River Ganga, streaming your soul away." Dravidian poetics go as such and Auntie Abhaya seemed to have quite dramatic flare. In any case, cousin Bobby was once again, drunk. Auntie Ay, as we lovingly referred to her, in her fearless way, was having nothing of it. Worse yet, seems Bobby had funded his ****** with rupees stolen from Auntie Chhaya's purse. A storm of tears she was, in the corner of the humble hut they all resided in, in Kerala. Kerala's backwaters wash in from the Arabian Sea. Tropical delicacies abound; markets filled with fish, pineapple and coconut groves, and an array of spice that keep the main agricultural commerce of India most enticing to the rest of the world. Yet, life earnings are hard and for some hard habits easy to pick up. This was truest in Bobby's case, though he did try and try to make his family proud. As I was only a guest in this loving but burdened home, and recognizing a family crisis at hand, I and my traveling partner put forth finances lost to ensure our safe return to Mumbai north in Maharashtra and not embarrass our host family any longer. Though we had touched a Garden of Eden, the lesson of banishment was still at hand.

Eat Not Of This Fruit
Ach so! thou much-praised and lauded Milwaukee, Thou delightful Wisconsin Stadt of boundless pulchritude, Verily hath History endowed thy blessed name With the noisomely beery breath of immortality! And thank the benign Almighty in highest Heav’n That thy delectable streets and arboreal squares Doth remain heretofore untouched by unseemly civic strife, Despite thy renown as veritable midwife to Sewer Socialism! Yet, tear-inducing recollections have I of this dwelling-place And herewith followeth heart-rending remembrances Of what transpired when I inveigled a plump young Mädchen there For a brief sojourn of untrammelled concupiscence. Alas, alack, after gorging her impetuous appetites On a gargantuan repast of mitteleuropäische delicacies, Methinks her poor heart gave up survival’s uneven battle And, warbling a soft piffero-reminiscent sigh, she expired. ‘Twas too tragic thus to depart this happy welkin in mid-prandials, Emitting a final flatus, sweet adieu, from her rearmost aperture, Leaving me, her poor forlorn swain, bereft and solitary, Faced with mine host’s request for instant monetary rendition. From that naughty place of my bereavement fled I, Clutching to my ***** the contents of her silken purse, Determined to partake in untrammelled ***** licence elsewhere, Ere the chanticleer’s dawn croak wake the inebriated citizens.

Tragically Gay Memories of Old Milwaukee (poem by Edna's ******** brother Siegfried)
The sugar, the ice, glazed upon the cream buns. An array of plates of delicacies. The roasted pig, grunted while being chewed. Or perhaps, that was the man who chewed it. She stood in rags waiting to be served. 'What would 2 pence get me?' They snickered and giggled as she, Bought a stick of butter for dinner.

A list of fudge
It is Whatever you want it to be. How you perceive is your perception, Your perspective is not deception -But why are we so reluctant to make use of affection? The detection of attraction exhibits bits of satisfaction That neither of us can speak of. If push comes to shove, Don't make me make you fall in love. If I can't have your body I don't want no body. Celibacy. It will be a delicacy to insituate the thoughts that insituate your time I'll obituate your loss And re-birth worth in your mind- The situation Is a mind **** manipulation. I will eliminate the No And inseminate the Yes Undressed across your expression The progression Of ********** The contents of your mind until you bare a confessional corruption For when mutuality is in play; Manipulation is just seduction.
