"dowsed" poems
You are my dear, decadent desert, My summer-thyme delight; Starlight. Tonight’s your night, for you I write. Radiant glow, fuzzed herbal hue. My dear butterscotch icecream. Sore arms churn thick, slick froth - Sauterne butter. Gentle spread melts, dowsed in sweet, sugared innocence, rich scents, then sits. 6 years pass quickly, youthhood gone; My black swan, a third complete. You, sauterne butter, mix with scotch - Fermented, demented, invented to inebriate. Golden brew dissociates reality - Spinny, fuzzy, dizzy, funny… gone. Go on again, dear fawn, 6 years pass, Pant for the water, two-thirds complete. 12 years as toll to adolescence; Icy, creamy, dreamy, element prepared. Scoops of soft serve mix with years past - Angsty era. Seductive spirits, beautiful brew. At last, my summer-thyme delight dances with rhyme. The lime-light shines; ten and eight. Todays the date, stuff immaturity away. Make room for the adulthoods’ good, Scooped generously into a bowl Shuttled and entrapped by me, Melting, streaming, gleaming and freezing. You awesome angel! My pleasure supreme - My dear butterscotch icecream.

Butterscotch Icecream
Her eyes are the stained glass broken from confession. Her withered hair buried beneath dirt gravel. Her forbidden mind fosters slobs of crazy. Her mind is a battlefield of Trojan takeover. Her bare feet remember sacred ground of tainted memories. Her ears embrace the screech of still weather. Her grapefruit mouth juiced with venom is tasteless. her sharp egg shelled fingertips woven from braids of straw. Her body is the Earthquake ruptured by the vibrations of collision. Her thoughts trespass gated abandonment Her firework pen exploding with gunpowder secrets. Her gunpowder secrets deterring the sanity. Her cracked lips cobweb from silenced words. Her puppet stringed smile puts on a show to the audienced world. Her soul has been toyed with by the cynical Fates. Her echo without direction is a heartbroken drum line. Her armor has been dowsed with sharp, penetrating words. Her skin has painted stories interior to her porcelain frame. Her soulless story can be dry swallowed by rocks. Her tears bleed of whispered screams.

Endlessly
the sport of cricket is no longer a clean game bribes and corruption have dowsed it in shame ***** money has walked onto the cricket pitch and it does so give the sporting pundits a severe stitch ball tampering by the players and umpires being paid off these disrespectful actions causing cricket lovers to fulsomely scoff the game of cricket has been so badly sullied over the past few years and it does so make the fans feel less incline to cheer cricket has a grubby tarnish upon it these days the ICC should be disinfecting the game's wicked ways devotees of cricket are not a happy lot they are waiting for the wicket to be cleansed of all the ***** rot

Cricket Isn't Cricket
Adrift on her very first voyage With the sea coursing in through her bow Lay the cruise ship, the S.S. Lumbago There was scarcely a chance for her now But Ahoy! On the western horizon In a flurry of yellow and green That ender of blight and a damsel’s delight And he’s always on cue for his scene It’s Sir Patrick Stewart! And his Luxury Budgerigar! It’s got seating for seventy people And the service is well above par There’s an adequate medical unit And a modest but elegant bar What more could a man ever dream of In a Luxury Budgerigar? Well… The forests of England were burning So the foxes escaped to the city The badgers had taken to looting And the squirrels had formed a committee But who should arise from a manhole With a confident gleam in his eye? That destroyer of woes with a spring in his toes And he’s quick with a witty reply… Sir Patrick Stewart! And his Luxury Budgerigar! With adjustable hose pipe attachment It’s got wheels like a feathery car The forests were dowsed and the fauna re-housed With a three day retreat at a spa It’s a thing to admire and surely acquire The Luxury Budgerigar! But… Susan was stricken with sorrow Twas her darkest, most fearful hour A spider had wrestled her out of her bath And set up his home in the shower But who should jump out of the wardrobe With an innocent look on his face? That singer of shanties, remover of ******* And first in an obstacle race Sir Patrick Stewart! And his Luxury Budgerigar With a sucker for spiders and beetles That deposits them into a jar There’s a tiny wee restaurant to feed them It was given a Michelin star A remarkable thing with retractable wings Is a Luxury Budgerigar So if you should be in a pet shop And you see just the critter for you Please heed this advice: make a note of the price Then proceed to the back of the queue When you ask for your preference of creature Should it whistle, slither or waddle Do as Sir Patrick Stewart did And opt for the Luxury model

Sir Patrick Stewart's Luxury Budgerigar
Adrift on her very first voyage With the sea coursing in through her bow Lay the cruise ship, the S.S. Lumbago There was scarcely a chance for her now But Ahoy!

Golden sun sets on the concert house; The hellish day, it’s now been dowsed. Asphalt night and onyx skies, Crowds and crowds of endless size. Yet it rises on the wooden stage; Burning, scorching, lunar rage. Curtains of lapis suspended, For a show that’s highly splendid. The bands, they take up their instruments, Checking function with much diligence. The azure slides, the crowd’s boisterous, Let’s send them home filled and joyous! Strum and strike, music sounds and hikes. Mystically does it flow, no break or pause. Number after number, avalanche of applause. Now they’re screaming and whistling! Yikes! The night wears on, and sapphires glisten, In skies of turquoise and warm transition. Marmalade sunrise, it goes on and on! But nowhere in the hall is there a yawn. The crowds recede like biped cattle, An endless, drunken, random rabble. The next noon, the hall’s still defiled. Music echoes in their heads, meanwhile.

my words might wash up against your shore in torn up shreds each scribbled letter faded obscured by time obscured by rippling waves that thrash and tear each piece left vague dowsed in mystery and a lingering a longing to be read soon maybe next time i'll be mature enough to put them in a bottle.

in a bottle
I feel you slipping away my love when the night is cold and still. When the years rush in and  stand  quietly by my bedroom door, quiet and mute with sorrowful eyes with shoulders drooped in resignation. I feel you slipping away my love as I sit here. As the reality glimmers through and shines upon this page, the silent rage  now unspoken for want of reason or assignment. Broken and wasted like a crystal vase with roses strewn across the floor. I feel you slipping away my love as I grasp feebly at the strings of the beautiful bouquet that  rises just beyond comprehension and wafts gently on the summer night to lite tattered and unwilling in far places unseen by our desires. Embers  softly glowing and now knowing the end has now begun. Years upon years of clawing at our fears that this was not to be. A blazing fire dowsed with strife and ire ,no air to stoke the flame. No time to play the game.  All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl. I cry quietly in the glow of poor reason. I feel you slipping away my love. I feel us slipping away now and forever. The shell does just as well to crumble. A castaway sits on the sandy shore knowing full well that rescue will find his molding husk frozen in time and empty  in the continuum. His  bones bleached past. The grinning mask of irony and  frozen regret. My love our reach exceeded  our grasp but youthful willfulness and hope was the rope. The rope that we clung to and weathered  the battering breezes as we closed our eyes to reason after all love will find a way ?.Even love was not enough, but we knew deep down. I feel you slipping now with eyes wide open. We watch  as the chasm widens and shrug our shoulders. Calloused hands tired of trying now. Weary eyes dry from crying now. willfully stuck and  denying now. I feel you pull away. I will wonder the desert parched with regret of this I have no doubt. But deep down I knew this. Hoping against hope. still. There will be no other to take your place. Who could?. We gave hope it's chance. Once we did dance. Life became duty. We fought off the wolves. We turned. We forgot. We grew apart while joined at the hip. How funny. How sad. Duty bound as love unwound. No us time. I feel you slipping, slipping. Goodbye. My. Love.

I was born in terrorism. I grew up in earthquakes, tsunamis and rebels: in shouting blond girls with red eyes and pixel smiles. I was born in blurred faces and mute voices pulling at my eyes until I dripped the clotted tears of a thousand soldiers, or refugees, or children. I was atomized, crunched into small seeds and scattered across a desert field. Someday a flower would grow there, budded from the bones of my being and   flowered into a fiery, empty marigold-- dripping gold and embers across a thirsty desert, where the shout of the civilians was distant enough to ignore. I was sodomized, conceived in the roar-- of the rumbling wave- crashing over- pulsing through her thrashing cave. I watched my flower whither and blister with the deliberate count down and the glare of the floodlights-- dowsed in water and soil-- or some semblance of the two.   I was born in the blood of my mother and died in the womb of the world.

Ich fühle mich wie wir in einem früheren Leben erfüllt (I feel like we met in a former life) Auch…where are my manners English, right I feel like we met not in this life But before And by “met” I mean loved I have no idea how We share common things Und our eyes meet whenever we think the other isn’t looking Maybe I’m going crazy under Hitler’s hand I don’t feel like I’m in the right state of mind But I feel like we’ve loved Once upon a time Have I met you before Because you seem super familiar I think you were my neighbor before I moved Because I remember the pretty girl Next door with brown hair We played in my back yard and pretended to be aliens Then made macaroni art That’s us….on a hill….holding hands You fell and got a boo boo on your elbow And I put a dinosaur band-aide on it We road bikes to the park and we swinged Remember my best friend Johnny? His birthday party? Well you were there and I got cake in your hair and you cried… I gave you a gift on valentines day It was a flower I put in a purple box my mom planted in my yard And later she yelled at me and put me in the corner for digging it up I shared my dairy queen milkshake with you Even though It was chocolate and that’s my favorite flavor And I was really surprised because you said that was your favorite too Do you remember… No…? Oh okay sorry. You can come over and play with some of my toys if you want I like your shoes… I met her in a past life, In February, new grass reaching through snow This funeral only reminds me of Vibrations in my spine when she’d leave Symphony strings come in Crushing all my Ambien Recreating Adam and Eve I could feel my disgusting old heart pulse When I became her. When she took over me. I remember Watching life go by like movies Ich erinnere mich (I remember) Dancing in ballrooms to records I remember Young bodies in *** Minds dowsed in ecstasy I remember you Our dying won’t stop euphoria like this It’ll just be put on hold for a while Emotions becoming a straight beaming line Because I’ll meet her again All we’ll do is change the date and time

Last night communing with the, much more than anything, but still not quite, echoing in worlds beyond this one, if it pierces, empties out carefully What is it that is never quite, intact or playfully, ask the sages to reconsider, paths to the sun, Wonderful it will be to reach, apexed or transcedent, finger tips dusty or removed, which is the endpoint subtracted, faces that are familiar, but are no more, bottle green, they are everything but sad, dowsed in caffeine again, heart is drowning in, stolen courage, the day passes away, lost and fragmented.

Dowsed in Caffeine
This is how an angel dies, a strange temptation caresses me; and I scream my hatred of the one who created me. I'm lost in the dark, littered with bruises that even I fail to recognize. Constantly I will blame myself, while convincing others that I don't need them. I say things like, "I have done it on my own, I need to do it on my own." The smoke quietly rises on the spokes of which I stand. The brighter ones tell me of my guilt, of why I don't deserve what I yearn for. So once again I am a little girl, reaching out to all of the appealing men before me; so desperate for their attention. Silently I go up in flames, just as urgently I am dowsed with water. hastily I fall to my knees, begging for redemption from the one who created me. this is how an angel dies

This is how an angel dies
Trapped inside a mongrel's mind,   twisted, turning, lurid, divine Aimlessly wandering halls, dimly lit by candles on the walls   where spiders like to sit where I come across a case   wooden and dusty filled with books neatly spaced   the spines filled with foreign words and stood up by tigers      either mis-colored or rusty Examining the books with gentle care when something caught my eye's corner with a glance to the left and with great rise was the grand spiral stair, where   splayed meekly on the rise of the walls was the blood of men and a statue of great size A serpent, fangs dowsed in rustic red blood and tail curled around with eyes beading above seemed to smile with a large bulge along its golden belly With shudder I wondered what beast sated the statues hunger My feet, frozen in wonder of serpents message did not venture forward as my eyes read the ****** paint For, as my eyes gazed at the dried blood, I noticed sound so faint Drip. Drop. Drip. Down the rail of the grand old stair   dripped water onto the marble floor, puddling there And in the pool of the water, a message did reflect The symbols were foriegn, yet I read them anyway How, I couldn't suspect and who could say Even as I muttered the words I backed away in respect *This is the easy way to heaven,                     or so say the men where holywater's bestowed  But this is where the Serpent herds his devon,                     You may climb the stairs, but down his throat you'll go*

The Twin Souls speak to me, During the desert suns and Tranquil moons, In its greatest oracle, They tell me ‘Save yourselves or Remain unsaved’. They took me to Egypt, On the magic carpet that Was dowsed in my room- Some may call it a rug- But for the Twins, They flew during majestic Nights Seamless heights. Nights I look back, On how my twin was created, How our paths had crossed And how lucky Even blessed we’d been. Days I look forward, With my twin and I Drenched in Kelly Green in our ceremony of accomplishments Or seduced by the sun, Escaping Methodist systems, And enchanted by esques’ in the forest Other nights, My twin was gone, An empty burden I felt Swell my chest. On those nights, I prayed to the Souls to which They promised to keep us together Some times the Twins advise me, ‘Do not set yourself on fire to keep others warm’ And ‘Other people are not medicine’- That is, except for the Twin Souls. I taught my twin Lessons of life, And she taught me Lessons of gratitude. I must admit, We were both a bit Damseled, A bit Distressed [Still dressed to impress] When time has run out, Hope is lost, Spirits are killed, Demons are in disguise, And hell breaks loose I pray to the Twin Souls, To hold us eternally whole In the wake of the full moon Because my TWIN SOUL, Will never escape The Encased LOVE and PURSUITS Of my HEART For she is a true work of Art.

Twin Soul
We stare at each other while in an Under-rehearsed waltz around the coffee table Keeping us an armwidth apart. Stiff as oak, we resist the breeze from the window, Tensing with the smallest tremors in our roots. Touching our fingers will let the dominos fall- Your jeans taking off my socks ripping off your shirt pulling On my bra straps- I walk toward the couch, You, the window. I start to wonder how your hair looks hung to dry, sweaty, Over an ached and trembling brow When you hang your hat on the chair. You tell me the evening weather is pleasant While my thoughts are in our hands, clenching, Longing for skin and breath in grasp. My eyes light a wildfire on your neck. Every step is flint stone and steel wool. Can I take off your coat Welds the air between us stiff, baking And begging to be dowsed. The floor ripples under your extended palm.

Our First Waltz
The stench of battery acid in the morning The slippery lubricant of littered snakeskin on the floor Trash that once found liberation, salvation in the motion of its use Now limp, lifeless, devoid Abandoned without muscle. The shadow of our wicked forms, braced against the balcony edge Nerves alight, take fire. The steepest bet, a wager of the deranged sense And that smell. It hangs in the air, still Engulfs you as the animal sense is heightened. Without reason, all is pleasure, All is primitive. Out on the veranda, Diana dances. Part impulse, part stimulant. Her dimples stretching wider, farther apart as continents. Her hips convulsing Man with the long hair, "You burn you burn" Oh mother, we were created equally. Together in one cruel, carbonate mass of malcontent motives, of wicked intent. Selfishness attracts selfishness. We are but a refrigerator door full of strange magnets, gleaming. Your southern fingers, Dancing a slow tango down my spine. Your grip, lowering, sweaty and deliberate Oh viper. The texture of freshly cut grass and ***** crusted over bare toes. All smells of peppermint, Bitter citrus flower. Woke up in the morning, dowsed in kerosene Rose petals sticking to the roof of my mouth "There is no heaven, no hell," he said. Only us.

**** my heart, inject me with purple darts painted by Da Vinci murdered by a work of art breaking bars, jammed my hands through broken shards. ****** by eternity, the monster that came back from shaking mars. doomed and colossus, middle of the mosh pit I live for the funerals and party with the Gothics. Tasting the hatred, who knew love was the flavor cries as time flies, spits in the night sky boiling our emotions, our love drowned in the tide. dowsed in turpentine, serpents hiss down our spines, lasers set to **** ideas are nautiluss the precious rapture precedes to rage on our kind. The sun becomes the hottest when power becomes modest. reality for the fiction more gifts for the gifted everyday lost until the power levels shifted weird, lost, and strange most recognized of misfits. killing off the normal to become different one more guest to become a witness.

Wrestle With Adonis
You slipped right through my fingers (I never really had you any way) I could swear up and down you don't care for me. It makes things so much easier. Flashback to you kissing my freckled cheek while I'm asleep. Telling me words I've save for later. I'll turn them over and over in my head like worry stones. Flashforward to you sitting with me in a crowded place. "We're just friends," you say evenly. I try my best not to squirm. Because we were never just anything. I knew I'd pay the price for this. But who was I to give up a body that fit so well into mine? You dowsed my ribs in gasoline when you first spoke words of your affection. You consistently threw lit matches at me. Now you recoil and Jesus Christ, how do I begin to put myself out? Do I even want to? You show me a match you've saved for later. I don't know if able to reconstruct myself for the hell of it just to watch it burn later Don't think I wasn't destructive before you. I am, and I will be infinitely. I am thinking of how my smoke built up in your lungs. Exhale now. Doing what's best for all involved parties. "Do you know what it was like being around you, knowing I couldn't hold you?" In that moment I'm certain somewhere in another life I would have loved you. Because all I ever wanted was the kind of romance I could write about it. The kind of sadness and longing that settles behind your ribs. If it had been a book I would've dog eared us and wept. But this is my life, real life and I can't just this back on the shelf.

If every poet wants to be loved why do they need every feeling but love everything that is essential becomes contradictory find every word in the dictionary to send our message fully infused With the subsequent substance with a enveloping past that you give power to with each glance a symbiotic connection hungry for attention a powerful grip with feelings of strong misguided blinded moral film that covers your skin irresistible until you come back to your writing and you realize what you just wrote dig deep down and see your true depth in a paradox of perspectives thoughts bounce off waves of reflecting inception overloading my cornea flood of images I spill into text what's the imprint that was left try so hard to fit in thinking they're excluding you when it turns out I'm really excluding you corrupted excess of expression poisoning cycle of nervous thought of my inner dialogue separate me from a clear view with the greifing fog try to hide try to distract but never dodge three the highs and lows even and odds I always see the effect just hopelessly blind to the cause shocking withdrawls lost in the in flames dowsed a brave heart with callouses made of cowardice after everything a poet really does just want to be loved....

A simple fire, Dowsed in the flammable decisions of a simple man, Even the act of putting his words onto paper gives him the narcissistic relief of being closer called an artist, to himself, by himself, He sees faces daily that are like ghosts now to the simple man whose mind meanders and thoughts get foggy, Hours go by like seconds in his catatonic state, Everything he does is a simple man’s choice where input is minimized and outcomes are swiftly forgotten, Where memories from years ago bleed into what happened yesterday or the day before, Each experience becomes an island, Waking up with no connections, Just an oceans worth of uncertainty, Like a composer who hears the music of his orchestra for the first time and, oblivious, leads them into crescendo with a simple man’s insincere talents, Absent, in many things, he tries to live as comfortably as he can with routine becoming a safety blanket that itches like hell in the middle of the night but still he manages to sleep most of his days away, Every regret for everything he could be doing but isn’t, Everything he shouldn’t be doing but is, Lives on his scalp and the insides of his decaying cheeks, Maybe it’s all just the summer heat getting to him.

A Simple Fire
Theres a sickness inside a false idea that wants to be nursed by the same hands thats wretched me from the truth the truth is my home I could be locked into a room with mothers warm linen clutching you around me but theres the wild as it was never strained from me and it makes me want to overthrow the comfort the security of what is that was never materialized I want free-free-free-dom I can accept the discomfort like wet clothes holding me like a heavy hostage as I roam I want freedom, I want mobility because deep inside of me, I know the truth, without it needing to be performed so much so that it haunts me every time you kiss me even in my dreams dowsed in the warmth struck with the urge to pull back from a burning flame as it encircles around my soft flesh my hard peircing soul wants to run from the devils gold so dont you l-l-l-ove me love me love me love me I am free but the bars of my heart strings push you aside like a werewolf my instinctual nature has me tied in the wilderness I go back and forth on the roads that will bring me further from you when I feel my dreams consuming all that I see

Slowly the day is dowsed by night as the clumsy sun trips over the horizon and is gone from sight The swallows morph into their darker side and screeching fill the twilight skies in fear all creatures retreat and hide Silence falls heavy covered in soot none stir except for the owl’s mournful hoot

Dusk
as we're celebrating with family and friends on Christmas day give a thought to nations who are in the fife of a destructive flay there will be no peace all harmony unkempt the tones of happiness in these lands exempt munitions reining down terror in every street the frightened war weary caught in a violent cleat the wailing of innocent children the grieving heart of a mother humanity lost in the woods the planet's brotherhood in smother and the joys of Christmas we'll have to share yet there will be places on our orb dowsed with pain and despair Syria and Iraq those trouble riven territories where there is an ongoing legacy of animosities merry and mirthful shall be our Christmas day but let us not forget war torn countries far beyond our homeland's bay
