"dribbles" poems
You're the Wacky Wolf-man, Tearing through our pages with a single huff. Breathing life into us little piggies, Blasting your way through the daily fluff. You're the Word Wizard. Leaving us in awe and in dribbles. Waving your wand, Conjuring magical and spellbinding scribbles. You're the Living Legend, Almost like a deity of some sort. Garnering shiploads of admiration, Through words of encouragement, banter and retort. You're the Bad Boy Bard... Never mincing your words. Unconventional, you howl amidst the flocks... You never did chirp like the birds... You're the Minstrel Mobster, Shooting your Tommy, never missing. Flicking forward your fedora, Strung lute ever smoking. You're one Cool Cat. Fending off haters with a bat. Everyone just wants to be that. Like a superhero whose symbol is a bat... You're a Gem Generator. Cogs and gears churning the jewels laid Machine malfunction! My system's jammed! Well I guess that's just it... Enough said!

Marvel Man
Beside a dusty fan droops languid veins whose movement barely churns up tarnished grime, as lazy sun exudes through poisoned panes injected with the film of listless time. A gentle sigh is exhaled without will for emptiness of long forgotten mind. Eyes shudder closed to desolation's shrill of conscious much too free and so, confined. Revolting spittle dribbles down a chin with absolutely nothing left to do. To entertain and keep from going thin you spy on friends who in turn spy on you. Alas! For boredom is the finite trait of great mankind's insufferable fate.

Boredom
I'm choking, flower petals fall into my hands. Blood puddled up, followed by more couphing. My hands stain crimson as I attempt to catch the petals and blood. Red dribbles down my chin and flowers break through the skin on my neck. Vines and flowers continue to grow in my lungs. Causing my disease to only worsen. Is this one sided love. Have you lost feelings for me.. Have I gone mad. My thoughts are again interrupted as a hack up more flowers. My chest is hollow.

Hanahaki disease
gurgle, gurgle, groundcurrent unsettled, moon unseen like stars fever dreamed, dissonance for the melody maker, dissonance for the retired risk-taker, dissonance for the hips of homewreckers. civil, civil, no minutes can afford the divide, aside, to the crystal buildings and the sky's sputtering cries, compliments to your forehead's **** compliments to your forefather's rash, compliments to your aforementioned crash. the current, the current rides hot and merciless along thigh, dribbles down chins and nightgowns, dries--a permanent badge of scattered life, electroshock seeps from self-made holes, electroshock seeps from smoldering bowls, electroshock seeps from typecast roles. volcano, volcano, grumble and moan. volcano, volcano, clear cord and stroke. volcano, volcano, grieve me in ash. volcano, volcano, I've been awful bad. I've been awful bad. I've been awful bad.

Pearl Avenue runs past the high-school lot, Bends with the trolley tracks, and stops, cut off Before it has a chance to go two blocks, At Colonel McComsky Plaza. Berth's Garage Is on the corner facing west, and there, Most days, you'll find Flick Webb, who helps Berth out. Flick stands tall among the idiot pumps- Five on a side, the old bubble-head style, Their rubber elbows hanging loose and low. One's nostrils are two S's, and his eyes An E and O. And one is squat, without A head at all-more of a football type. Once Flick played for the high-school team, the Wizards. He was good: in fact, the best. In '46 He bucketed three hundred ninety points, A county record still. The ball loved Flick. I saw him rack up thirty-eight or forty In one home game. His hands were like wild birds. He never learned a trade, he just sells gas, Checks oil, and changes flats. Once in a while, As a gag, he dribbles an inner tube, But most of us remember anyway. His hands are fine and nervous on the lug wrench. It makes no difference to the lug wrench, though. Off work, he hangs around Mae's Luncheonette. Grease-gray and kind of coiled, he plays pinball, Smokes those thin cigars, nurses lemon phosphates. Flick seldom says a word to Mae, just nods Beyond her face toward bright applauding tiers Of Necco Wafers, Nibs, and Juju Beads.

Droplets tap the dusty windows Tipping pleasure on the pane Dribbles every time the wind blows Prophesize a hurricane Kisses linger on the backseat Desperate to delight in more Suffocated by the heat, but When it rains, it starts to pour Panic storm that quickly closes Smashing waves upon the sand Tension tearing up the roses Stuttered poems, shaking hands Though the pressure keeps you floating And the ocean licks its shore There's no way of sugarcoating Once it rains, it has to pour Stick a finger in your ceiling Let the plants hang onto youth Sunday jazz, petrichor feeling Hear it tripping on the roof Smell it shifting all around you Leaking through your drying veins Leave your stagnant dragonfly blue Open up into the rain When it rains, it pours I'll blossom being yours Downpour cleans the ***** traffic Rippling madly down the drain Paints the artist something graphic While he's waiting for the train Laughter echoes in the morning Licking soil and clouds to raw From the vision that's been dawning Once you rain, it has to pour Spitting bombshells pelt your raincoat Tears in quiet pools of green Holes inside your getaway boat Water's sweet but can be mean You've avoided all the warfare But the stars rampage for more Douse the thin comfort you still wear Once it rains, it starts to pour Stick a finger in your ceiling Give the plants a thirsty truth Fairy lights and freedom feeling Tunes of our torrential youth Smell it changing all around you Bursting through the shrivelled veins Leave your crippled summertime hue Open up into the rain When it rains, it pours, I'll bloom so much being yours We're a perfect storm, I guess Fire has been stopped with less When it rains it has to pour.

When it rains, it pours

Fought One, Twenty-two skidoo. Cantankerous mad filamous She, That of her, Me. Piñata, stretched balloon Over my big fleshy ****** Tea and cakes, Painted my nails Painted my lips Like candy. Gold trinkets, Pour like mercury out of my ear. Ouch! I cried My feet in hot sandy Dreams. Flying peacocks tickle My ***** Oranges roll on chalk board tables Over stale rye bread. ***** dribbles out like mucus And a runny nose. Toilet paper and rusty water. ********** on you. Stocking lover. Fetish cover. Woman pusher. Mellifluous **** Look at my skin. Pink, beige, peach, red Porous, greasy, bacteria ridden hide. **** me like seppuku, Smother, suffocate me with Red jelly jam. Lubricate your finger with black Cancerous ash.

Tear your flesh You auto ********* Rip your liver And force feed it Corn and maize Hay and grass Emory my nails against Red barn walls Until bare skin fundamentals Kisses with salty lips Inflame my ravishing Pig stomach. Kick my shin you Everything, Wake up you stupid ***** Void can be blue skies, Oceans call for suicide.

Rancour
Baby boy! Pretty little thing, your flesh is So divine! Oh yeah, that's right; I like to watch it - i like to watch your flesh: subcutaneous fat padding tender hips Shifting on a creaky framework of bones. So beautiful, so divine, so delicious - I will have you for my own, Straight Boy, I will eat you, piece by Piece. First, your liver, then, your Brain, and finally, I will devour your confused little heart; I will bite through the muscle; and you will watch on as Blood that pumped through a brain that pushed away thoughts of hesitant homoeroticism, and a ***** that rose For me - INCUBUS!!! - dribbles down my chin... lifeless!

LE GARÇON HÉTÉRO ET L'INCUBE !!!
You Are untamed Reckless blood and wit intertwined A twisted, brazen
 mind. Your mind Is so clearly different It leaps and soars, so acrobatic And your thoughts appear to me so hazy and enigmatic Your mind is simply not pragmatic Yet your perception knows no bounds. You have thoughts that come close to insanity That sometimes flow in the form of profanity.    Your spirit Is either very high or very low Up and down, to and fro There is no in between for you Some say you are stupidly crazy The dull ones say that, the ones too lazy To see beyond the rugged surface. The subdued and vapid ones Will never understand the magnetism Of your sweet, exquisite devilry. On your face you often wear A fierce and restless stare A wan, discontented expression As though you're always awaiting Something bigger, Something better. You Are fluid, swaying fire And I will never tire Of watching you burn I can see you brain boil and churn As it reels into into areas of
 madness and chaos. Your psyche Is an endless field of dark reverie, Of fear and vagary. I know your night terrors Your savage dreams of death Screams and bated breath Unutterable visions The grotesque world of horror thats spins itself out And dribbles into your drawings All those creatures, skeletons gnashing and clawing... You Are gentle and thoughtful Yet you are terrified Of this dark thing that sleeps within you. Your eyes - they’re stunning They’re tempestuous, Wild, like some fierce animal peering out of a rusted cage Oh, your eyes They are something beautiful, but annihilating Like Autumn crocus flowers, innocently poisonous Lids splaying delicately like its violet leaves. You are tall and strong And uncontrollable, And your smile Is the biggest paradox I've ever encountered Childlike And fatal. You are not A creature of the commonplace You are not a slave of the ordinary You are not a mindless drudge of the mundane You are free. Or bewitched, what's the difference

Psychopath, questioned and played with, complex mind games with Paper fortune tellers and crystal ***** utilized by con artists. Chrome decorated room filled with trippy, grippy, grabby men With blue cats swimming around their head. Coherent words do not exist to them. Sucrose breaks you down, sweet creature, and thieves the antimatter in your empty scull. Your favorite song no longer passes through your hollow ears. Notes and the beats... A heartbeat. The thrum of a low piano key in a house supposed To be isolated and abandoned. You are not alone here, child. The demons summoned her because of the lettered board between a mattress And box spring. The springs are broken from too much activity, Don't jump on the soiled mattress. That's how you receive punishment. But one without two does not match the storybook your mother read to you. The nauseating tale of role,play and ********** Everyone knows the story, seen the Disney. You can run, but you can't hide from the memories of horrible visions Given to you by the gods. Hold on, child. You will grow to be a man one day Despite the nightmare of being a wolf child who clawed his way out of his mothers womb. Jolt and sweat, forgotten top bunk , and a concussion; The dreams are back. The recurring realities of a twin long lost, but somehow inside. Dream catchers don't make the callback list, can't act for the life of them, but They are beautiful against the scenery. A porcelain doll holds the demon that hacked my system and took controll of my history, And once again, she takes my place, fooling everyone into thinking I am here When, in reality, I am buried six feet under. Blood dribbles from the letters chilled into my stone, I curl and let them add more letters into My back to symbolize the life I led. The collection of poems I wrote about you are the ones they Cut into the skin on my legs, permanent reminders of what I have felt. "What have you felt?"

Poetry is often made impossible and forgotten it dribbles away Experiences begot are dried in dusty memoriam of thoughts Locked in chipped ornaments pictured emotions die framed in an old letter's sentenced pain Decorative wordy entrapments cannot fool or command love however many silvered words try to stir or grab at thine heart Whereas times every moment in your observed, captured thought does cradle this beating heart "*We shall gift thought it's touch and bites of freedom then love it's sustenance*" Fun's giggling thrashing bushes of living sweating poetry David x

In times of clarity, or perhaps Moments of weakness (Depending on one's perspective) My greatest fear, I think, Is that of dying without achieving Anything worthy of mention. The idea of being so ordinary That your death (or rather, your life) Will be rapidly evaporated from the earth's memory Like light rain on a molten tarmac afternoon. But you, at least on a mentally strong day, Delude yourself with bursts of creativity: Poetry, film, ideas of grandeur, All of which persuade you that either You will not die for a long time, Or you will someday soon achieve. This thought is comforting And all is well. Until one day you are having A particularly busy teaching day, And you rush to the usual spot To grab a regular taste of Dublin life, And order your chicken fillet roll: Lifeblood of an Irish working-man's lunch, And you eat while you walk - Both briskly to save time before Rejoining the rich children. And the slobbering mouthful of Delightful chicken baguette Casts taco sauce from its grasp, And dribbles down your pubey beard. You stop and take a finger to it, Knowing full well that the damage is Done and that those hairs will grip To the smell of taco sauce until The drain tastes their defeat after A particularly overzealous shower. And it is in that moment, With finger and beard stained with The orange-tinged blood of a chicken fillet roll, That your ordinariness and worthlessness become apparent And it destroys you... Because you always thought taco sauce was spicy.

this kind of desperation gets repetitive and i forget the words i used to know just to make more space for your name and it overflows from between my lips and dribbles down my chin, to my pen onto the letters i will never think to send. you were the passing breeze the humming sound of working bees the touch and go motion of a strip tease like sitting in a waiting room, hoping you will finally find me.

1966, my first school book review, aged 13. **It's hard, to say the least when you are bashful to give voice to all the words you wish to say for when your restless feet beneath you start to shuffle you know you'd rather take your chance and run away. You have a premonition to be elsewhere to a place they call 'the land of two left feet' where self-confidence is ****** beyond redemption where the introvert is king, and not dead-meat. As the arms of doom draw near to embrace you   and the ground before you cracks and opens wide     tongues of flame curl around to engulf you...     in the scheme of things you're skinned, trussed and fried.      You take a sip of water and start choking as a splash of liquid dribbles down your chin then the teacher offers you a paper tissue and patiently she smiles as you begin. Breaking out into a sweat you feel self-conscious as the collar of your shirt begins to shrink then you twist and tie in knots that paper hanky and wished you'd poured yourself a stiffer drink. Though you fumble for the words, they're not forthcoming as you pour yet one more glass from the carafe and while a tongue that's tied in knots may be amusing in a mouth that's parched you really should not laugh. Amid a mixture of derision and ovation     with that sickly smile still plastered to your face     you waited for the hard word from the teacher     but she said 'sit down' and well done Howard Brace. You prayed that you had never stirred that morning and rolled your sleepy body out of bed... of the precious weeks you failed to spend revising for the Book-Review and the text you barely read. ...   ...   ...**

When you look me in the eyes Loneliness unfurls inside of me Like a scorpions tail And stings the soft belly of my heart. A deep pain Spreads throughout my body, Clutching my bones, Taking me hostage. I feel my heart swell. It’s much too big for its cage. It’s the bird screeching protests When you try to put it back in. The sweating begins almost immediately. I feel like I’m melting onto the dirt road And you, You are laughing. Your smile splitting your lips, Your teeth snapping like claws, Distracting me from your molten black eyes. I ***** my loneliness. It dribbles out of my mouth in red ropes. You are already scuttling away, Already moving onto the next threat. As I watch your eight legs Carry your shell of a body away From my shell of a body I remember why I’ve always been afraid of scorpions.

The Scorpion
Infatuation. It’s a girthy, 5-syllable word and you’re In a fat, juicy, situation. It’s a swollen, darkened fruit That begs to be taken completely, Flesh devoured entirely. But it’s a trap. The sweet and tangy blood of it That dribbles down your chin To your neck To your ******* To your heart To your stomach To your hips To your groin To your *** Down your thighs To your nervous toes Is not love. Nobody wants to hear that. But some day - If you are incredibly lucky - You will look at your maroon-stained palms And the dry, sticky rivers of years running down your wrists And laugh until you cry when you realize That you could wash your whole body Because love is not in the juice. It is not your addiction, Your summer picking, Your hungry belly, Your well of adrenaline, Your rushing of heartbeats, Your tangling of bodies, Your jealousy, yearning, Nor pride. If you are incredibly lucky You will suddenly know love. As silent, simple, and strong As the fabric of the universe itself.

He fancies himself a cowboy In line at the corner store Concealed carry snug on his hip (He secretly hopes someone gives him some lip) The cashier hands him his change without meeting his gaze He’s surprised and aroused. She knows her place. Selling your soul’s not a deal with the devil Selling your soul is a deal with yourself Make the choice over and over To shake your own hand And pretend that it’s somebody else He fancies himself a nonconformist. A free thinker The sheep will all do what they’re told And he’ll be ****** before he goes peacefully to slaughter. It was easy, he figured it out Demanding proof is just an excuse to hide behind doubt A warrior, he wields the flaming sword of truth His wife asks a question; he breaks her front tooth. Selling your soul’s not a deal with the devil Selling your soul is a deal with yourself Make the choice over and over To shake your own hand And pretend that it’s somebody else Somewhere a fat man is checking the math as he’s being served lunch Picking through numbers, looking for nibbles He dribbles drool onto his chin, as he dials his guy in The Caymans His stomach is rumbling, it’s never enough! To deepen ones pockets, one first must make cuts. The determinant cause for the silver mine fire Will read “Accident: faulty electrical wire; Company denies liability per signed agreement at hire.” And the cowboy free thinker won’t laugh at the joke, he’ll just choke There will be no survivors But today, The Cowboy nurses his hate, while Somewhere a fat man is writing the fate of the cowboy in pen, pleased to be Great Again.

The Home Owners Association Came by again today With open glares at The green crawling across my chestnut walls, Blocking out my view of Their pale tan plaster and Baby blue curtains. Fees clutched in hand Eviction notices in their prayers, They march up to a house, Existing outside of their domain, Bought by a grandfather And never sold to no developer. I watch with arms crossed As they step past tomato plants Whose fathers I planted with mine long ago. Pleasantries exchanged Mean nothing combined with Cold eyes on me as I politely tell them that their nobility Has no jurisdiction. Later when, One let’s his dog dig up Pieces of my lawn-less garden, I stare from my curtain of leaves At exposed roots, The veins of a child’s loss reaching into air. Tears will do no more than moisten the corners As I walk outside Camera in hand Staring at a man Who slowly droops While shame dribbles back into his eyes. Nothing is said, Even when he turns and quietly walks away, Leash held slack in hand And dog loyally trailing behind.

i enjoy england with its little houses hips brushing, faces smushed together to revel in quaint rumour among gentrified lilies and pink lady apples that blush in the summer its walkways and alleys dribbles of soft lamplight guiding the drunkard, moth-brained and ill with silk threads to a blind spot of amber where muck can be spilled the people on transport with their airy talk, their mindless silence, heads lolling idly on windows, eyes crumpling like napkins against the leaking crumbs of warm scone sun pretty little England where exploitation is vintage and runs like rosé down the dusty store windows here we are free to stumble down streets with sweat in our hair and manic karaoke reverberating off the walls glee drinking is government protected I'm quite in love with england, this field of dew and white roses fed by gore and sweet tradition where fresh-faced, sunny children play.

national romance
bath water dribbles up me i lay smothered in the tub until my head is clearer than the water it died a long time ago i just never wanted to accept it the transparency is covering my feet i can see through it all and although i should be sad i can’t overlook the key components which made my life worth it i met some great people over the years i faced my fears and wiped the tears i wept i overslept and got some rest when it was necessary i heard my favorite songs til the break of dawn in the back of a bar porch i met strangers and listened to them tell me how lovely i was i listened indeed and i always keep it with me it died a long time ago about 6 months in when i found out i wasn’t the only one getting attention i just didn’t wanna accept it thank you for that in my mind my bags were packed i guess that’s why it was so easy to find the places where you lacked it was easy for me to want to give up because i knew it was already dead love killed you from the inside out and each potential victim with bright eyes can’t help but hunger for the emptiness you cradle so deeply inside hidden amongst the facade of creation loved turned into a void for you a void you had to fill with thrills and pills and feels i’m trying to understand your pain i’m standing in the rain with my hands out forever grateful of this simulation i bathed in pain tonight but i still remain heartfelt and empathetic and i wish to not project it onto others and see that is why i can’t understand you

What I want For Christmas is Just the barest Of necessities All my teeth Not just two So when I eat I can chew A skip and jump Back in my step So each morning I have some pep A pair of glasses Which self defrost A set of keys Which don’t get lost All my hair Put back in place So I don’t have That barren space A pair of shoes With self tie laces So I don’t have to Reach those places A set of arteries That don’t plug A nice cold beer Which I can chug To have someone My brain equip With that new fangled Memory chip So it can tell me My intent When I stood up And why I went A bunch of prunes Which are pre dated To work just when I’m constipated A gizmo that will So to speak Turn off my wee wee’s Little leak So I don’t have I’ll just be blunt Those little dribbles In the front A cork that fits My *** hole, please So hemorrhoids don’t pop out Whenever I sneeze A longer arm That would pass Behind my back To wipe my *** On this I’ll end My little list I don’t want Santa To get ****** BOEMS BY JA 103
