"endearment" poems
Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Everyday a soul is lost Souls of love Souls of lust Souls on endearment Souls of trust Souls full of knowledge Leave people like us With questions unanswered And feelings unmastered The void of their absence Still lingers with longing Tear drops of silence will forever keep falling.

Longing Souls
Sabi My Bosnian honey The rarest of beauties Truly an Unicorn amongst steeds With fleet feet My heart races towards you Like a rag of mustangs Wild and free              As you are                    As you make me Though I'm a world away I can feel your heart beside me Beating         Thunderously                Like hooves kissing open earth If only in spirit It alone sustains Our kindered hearts Amongst the world's stampede With wise words you used to mend My open wounds past sustained My debt remains unpaid Having little to my name I declare my love              My commitment                      My everything As a token of my endearment As an answer to your affection My dearest Sabina

A TERM OF ENDEARMENT..... As a little girl my girl friends dad Called me BIRDBRAIN.... And that never bothered me. I knew it was a term of endearment. Of course back then I didn't know What endearment meant. But I knew he was kidding... His house was the fun house Of the neighborhood. His wife was an angel. We had taffy pulls, Mrs G made popcorn ***** And lined up chairs In front of the television So we kids could watch Wrestling.... with a big bubble magnifying glass And she served us bowls of popcorn. Always something to do.... I went to the quarry one time with them Looking for fancy rocks.... Mr. G, Mr. G is this a good one? No Birdbrain, it's just sandstone... He was a fancy rock collector... The name Birdbrain was so special to me... A name which was spoken with Endearment.... I'm sure of that..... By judy

A TERM OF ENDEARMENT...
Consumed by the constant rolls that play Developed so well, recorded so well Chasing the aroma that gently caresses the keys of the grand olfactory organs Sinking into the fibers that catch me when I’m melting They remember the tight grip that I’ve imposed on them The grip imposed on me Yet I want to sift through Entangled by the loose strands I can’t help but to make vulnerable The sway in the tongue that rolls tones so heavy Leaves me tender Such fervor unfolding itself, irritating the chests it lays on Ethanol giving shoves until the words rupture into your gaze Listening for more in hopes the shower could saturate me again Hopeful and tender, I immerse you in ego Later washing away everything that froth before our eyes Then repeating the same intoxicating copulation Until the light breaks through and I’m presented an abbreviated endearment Leaving me instilled until the next time it’s decided times can concur

Situationship or everythingship
A wise woman once said she’d like to be defined by the things she loved. Not the things she hates or fears or the things that haunt her. This idea very much stuck to me. This is my attempt at defining myself by the things I love or the things I find love in. I love the sound of ocean water hitting the shore. I have never been more at peace than I am at a beach. I can freely think, freely breathe. I can just be free. I think the ocean is love. I find love in good morning and good night texts. They may be meaningless to some, a nuisance to others, but to me it’s the purest form of endearment. I can’t look at a good morning or good night text and not smile. I think those texts are love. I love and find love in music. I would go through hell as long as at the end, there was a good song. I love to sing my favorite songs at the top of my lungs and can’t help but tap my finger to my least favorites. I think music is love. I love books. Even with the worst books, I love the lessons they had to offer. I love the time put into writing it. I love the time I put into reading it. I love starting to read a book at 9am and blinking to find out it’s now 9pm. I think books are love. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in what I hate, even easier to get tied up in what I fear, sometimes I forget love is a thing. I don’t want to live like that. I want to continue to love and find love in things. I am a lover, not a fighter and some may hate that cliche but you know what, I love it. I think being a lover is love and that may be redundant but maybe, just maybe, I love that too.

I’ve been labeled with a term that begins with P and ends with oet But I owe it to to those listening to explain the steps I’ve taken 225 days of mistaken tippy toes and battles fought arresting a demon to keep him caged thirsty He stays thirsty Drips of thick liquid that bring cure to others make his body sick but his mind goes at ease The random shocks of pain that jolt throughout my body telling me to get more is a reminder that this struggled battle will never be over This devil on my shoulder is whispering terms of endearment while the angel is tirelessly hanging off my biceps trying to whisper his words of truth There’s no other way around it I live by the standard ‘once an addict always an addict’ I am an addict Before that fact jumps down your throat to join the heart that jumped up in it, let me explain Addicts like me work long *** days breaking their back to break bread and emerge victorious in their ocean of mistakes Instead of treading H20, it’s theraflu and pepto, I used to be drowning but now I’m only waist deep Slowly, day by day, the drain taking it away makes the level of pepto low Soon, maybe I’ll be able to say I’m in a puddle getting my tippy toes wet in OTC’s Then it’ll dry My tongue shall stay dry Like that of the demon that stays Caged Thirsty Waiting for a day that my mentality meets frustration so great that I’m attempted to sling that syrup down my throat so suddenly that my stomach acid is left in wonder Silently slipping into a comatose state that no soul may recover from To prevent this, I’ll pin praying hands to my nose and speak to a God that I’m not even sure is listening As I apologize from straying away from the path he’s set for me, I’ll look forward and realize that the hurting is gone Indeed, more will come But there is no fear in these eyes My mother’s soft touch on my shoulder Friends cementing their hands to my spine to make sure I stay standing I feel safe and secure to stand on a cliffs edge while the oceans muddy water rushes at it’s walls I will not fall Because I just showered And I intend on staying clean…

It’s the way colors would taste if you could eat them. White would taste of contentment, yellow of happiness, purple of infatuation, red of passion, and pink would taste of endearment. Pick your poison; they’ll all be the death of you in the end. It’s the way it smells when it first begins to rain. Its aroma lingers like vanilla, fresh linen, or an open flame that’s sparks kiss your fingertips. It clings to your clothes and in your hair to be smelled by others around you. To some, this scent may be too strong. It sounds like complete silence amidst a roaring thunder. It’s at a frequency only you can hear and comprehend. It’s a ringing in your ears that leaves them throbbing or the echo of voices when you’re submerged in water --- starting loud and progressively fading away with the sunlight that rests on the water’s horizon. It’s the way butterfly kisses feel, faintly tickling your cheeks when they’re damp with fresh tears. Or the way your body shudders at the touch of a cold hand and your temperature elevates, leaving a numbness where fingers traced over your skin. It’s the way a sea of grass looks when you’re crawling on your hands and knees. It’s the sight of two hands clasped with fingers intertwined. It’s what causes your eyes to widen when you see the expression that lingers on her face when she thinks you’re not looking. The look that says all that can’t be spoken with words. It’s all the power that lies within that four letter, one syllable word. The word that redefines every one of your five senses. .. Love. Love may be like a lot of things, but it’s not like falling. I never fully understood the expression “falling in love” --- probably because it isn’t accurate, and doesn’t make sense. Falling is what people do on a daily basis --- love is when someone catches you.

I've never been good at Being touched. Though the fingers Of endless suitors Have traced incomparable Lines of affection, They all stroke The same wounds. New hands feel like Recycled lullabies, Humming promises Of a new melody, Singing a remedy for My impassivity. Whether words fall Passionate or Fearful, Endearment lines my lips With an expiration Long enough to convince me, But short enough to leave me. Reminding me: The disintegration of Indifference Remains My prerequisite For destruction. So before you Touch me with Promises of a new Orchestration, I'm already marking the Days until you leave. Because my skin Is tired of Intruders hidden Behind momentary Infatuation. So keep your hands to yourself.

Stop Reaching For My Hand, Your Girlfriends is Getting Cold
As life is created from her womb Bountiful preparation is needed Charisma, duty, and love Develop the best care offered Ecstatic for recording memorabilia For such experiences occur only once Given the opportunity to successfully grow Home redefines as “elsewhere besides the abode” Ill from separation Joy still remains in the love connection Kept in touch through messages of endearment Life becomes more heartwarming Mothers nurture endless dreams

A Mother's Intuition
A kiss of death, Before you can safely visit the realm of the deceased, the long gone, A last breath, before it can end, escaping the boundary of this reality, The embrace of death might not be always gentle, it may take some cruelty before it sets you free, to fly away, leaving us, finally behind, It may happen in a restless night, or when you are asleep, that a lady comes to engage her lips, pressing them against yours and spiriting you away, lifeless, the corpse would remain, but worry not, darling. If the kiss lacks of passion, more importantly dedicated affection however, it shall be unsuccessful, leaving a mark of fear in that soul, Without a sound, the light dies, plunging everything around in deep yet loitering darkness, burnt, blistered and fallen is the blooming life, Even so, humanity has no other choice but to follow this chosen road, Living as they do now, unable to escape the endearment of dying, I hope that, this body of mine can disperse in a gentle peaceful way, Carried away with a single kiss of love, then sleeping, for eternity, With that being said, would you like a kiss, Darling ? ~ Umi

A kiss of the coming Death
I am fighting. It is a clash between disdain and isolation. Why love doesn't find me, instead of broken  hearts. I am demented. What is love? I always think it is a pure endearment, But in the end i didn't deserve it. I prayed to God, Why love doesn't nominate my name, And why love is so purblind. I am wasting my time. The emptiness haunts me again and again I get lonely when i looking to the future. I get lonely when i am in a crowd. I always seem so happy, With not care in the world. They only know my veil. Hey! ****** creature, Why you separates me from my wisdom. I was tried, I was lost, No one listened, No one understood. How can i disappear to make people understand? Ah! Who will sing a song, Like a lullaby. Here comes the call, Now i hide this pain too, And making sure no one sees my hurt. I am trying to envelope the scar's and, Buried deep in my heart. Hoping one day i can smile.

Being with you it's all smiles and giggles There's no twist turns rhymes or riddles We are what people may call lovie dovie Every second spent being silly and happy I don't ever want it to stop being this way So let's stay in the honeymoon phase forever Long sweet good morning text A simple time nothing Rolex But gee let's watch if time slows Let's take this phase where time goes So let's kickback relax and chill have a drink We ain't gotta go nowhere anytime soon Let's stay in the honeymoon phase forever Let's keep the whip with that new car smell Shoes fresh out the box with all the value Natural hair with the scent of cantu Like telling the same joke over and over but it's still funny Same terms of endearment bae or boo We can do something not many can do So let's stay in this honeymoon phase me and you

Honeymoon Phase
Aye, Vladimir, just before I met thee I hath been sure I hath loved him- no matter as queer as it may hath seemed! Thou knowest not, how much tears I hath shredded and noticest not, how t'eir vanity made me look dead! But why-why then didst thou appear- and wokest within me t'is secret fear- with understanding in thy eyes, and with a love t'at is to me so dear. Why-why t'en thou left me, left me again! Whenst I got to knowest thou but for a moment, ah, with not so much of an endearment- afforded ourselves only t'at streak of lovely, but still weak of too a bond, or any pact, of young novelty. And everything was corrupt As soon as thou re-released me into t'ese qualms of insincerity wherest I am still tossed about, guilty. And hushed, hushed always, like a trivial, parallel wind! As though my dear heart's bathed in sin and of a soul t'at is so thin So worthy not of thy soulfulness and sweet dreams of many happinesses. Ah, Vladimir! If only thou could knowest T'is thread of passion thou hath sowed and how my entirety seekest being loved By thee, and only by thee, o my rain! As thou art but king to my sneaky moon and my very own kingdom of stars Not him-not him, o t'is I entreat, albeit his wits hath been but to me so sweet. Still he be a mistake, ah, a chilly autumn mistake to me, from whom I didst just turn awake. Probably thou would hath loved me; imperishably and blindingly, until all thy superb charms and wit t'at wert but tortured and unbending shalt be left within me lit; and thus leaving our fiery souls entwined with winds t'at art even sweeter yet might be torturously everlasting. Vladimir, Vladimir, oh my only Vladimir! Thou altogether belongst with me; here, so unjustly yet heavenly And in our hands is cherished our love, o, so wickedly-but fatefully! How I longst to be thy lover, dearest- and be so comely as thy only flower; which ripens thickly in thy winter and blooms robustly, in thy summer.

My mother enters the kitchen, says that her hands are dripping, begs my father to finish his work at the sink.  I observe, for a moment, the expression upon her face which seems conflicted between a desire to laugh and a need                                                to feel clean. I interject that clearly her fate is to have dog placenta on her hands for all eternity. Her disgust and amusement seem equally to rise. After she has washed herself, she speaks of Ponyo's last intermission between long intervals of birthing to nap three fleeting minutes; another contraction gave way to a wriggling new mole who squeaked and groaned with bizarre endearment, seizing my heart and causing its mother's head, after jolting awake,                                                                to go limp. Mom says it's sad-but-sweet.  Dear dog has spent herself six times already in increments which, as they increase, draw her spirit still closer to a totally inevitable chasm of fled energy; as soon as she falls asleep, yet a new indignant mass of living parts swaddled in loose skin and wet fur shoves its way outward, forward, world-ward. Ponyo is not selfish.  Immediately after birth seven, she begins to lick her offspring clean and nudge it towards her belly, where it may feed itself. "Only just got a break, and already she's                                                                     back to work." I'm one of five children my mother has carried and raised--and for a human, five are many! I'm afraid to give birth even once, despite that a greater want of mine is to hold my own child someday.  I wonder if that is motherhood: discomfort and indecision concerning the worth of the effort in labor, in birth, in the weak moments thereafter-- stroking one's child's downy, collapsible head and feeling a need to protect her, to nurture her, that is more pressing even than the so- alluring whispers which Sleep may breathe-- and even beyond these moments, when I have said to my mother that I hate her (because to me, it was obvious that I did not, and was too callous, obtuse, and insensitive to think that she might just believe it) and then missed church the next day to stay with her when she felt ill and tired--if this is motherhood, I wonder.  It must be more even than I could ever have thought like wanting to laugh and to wring one's hands (and even just to go to sleep)                                                 all at once.

On Puppy Birth and the Nature of Motherhood
My mother enters the kitchen, says that her hands are dripping, begs my father to finish his work at the sink.  I observe, for a moment, the expression upon her face which seems conflicted between a desire to laugh and a need                                                to feel clean.

I saw an Ulila Whilst riding a Jeepney Half-Shoed, Half-Footed, Saying, "BAYAD!" An Endearment for Pay Yet my Eyes affixed On his One-Footed Shoe But due to the Wear Of a Day's Sweaty Trod Begging for his Family Dinner Hoping he could have a Full Meal And Smiles For him and his family And still waiting For his Final Stop And still scraping His Hard-Worn Scar Thus the Ulila Handsome to Beg Despite his Birth-Marked Nose Which was actually blood From a flavourful fist-fight And Soil, Paints his Tender Body. Thus the Ulila, Swollen in his Eyes, Suddenly remembered He had nothing to Beg For since his Time, Was centred on Smiles Greeting people, Wishing them the Best of Cheers and Holidays And his Reward, Sheltered and Soft, Reaching the end of his Bay, Cried, "PARA!" An Endearment for Stop And disembarked Full of Flavours and Joy, Wondering, If he could Share such with his Family. Then the Ulila, Felt a Weight, And Jingles in his Body. Thinking of his Thursday's Stones, He took some out And all he found, Were just some Worthless Pesos, Given secretly, By the Passengers he Entertained In the busy Jeepney. Thus Smiled the Ulila - The Selfless Urchin-Boy.

THE ULILA
I'm damaged Dented, torn and broken I have wear and tear in all my places from years of being built up... ...just to be hammered down Years of emotional turmoil from someone that should have been a support instead of the dynamite. In places where I shouldn't have been hurt I now have barbed wire up to protect The things that were done to me, said to me, or put upon me by you... ...make me who I am it's true. But some experiences are best not even told in horror movies let alone lived; by someone who thought they were loved. Words and phrases of endearment kept me there Even through the pain I thought I could fix it. You leaving me hurt at first I admitt Codependency is an awful thing. But I soon realized that I don't need you, desire you or want anything to do with you. My life is better off without you and your mind games. I may be dented, Hell I may even be infixable from all the crap you put me through. But now that I don't care what you think I can live with my dents and tears. Makes me a better person to know that while I am strong enough to deal with a hell relationship I will never allow myself to be in one again. I won't allow myself to be treated like that again. I know now that I am too good for you For where I offered you everything... ...you offered nothing except for lyes and cheating. I moved on, something I was told you really hated. I'm now truly loved by someone who I intend to share the rest of my life with Someone who loves me for me and is working to repare the damage you left. Good-bye to all your crap and pettiness I don't miss you the way you wanted me to. I'm happy and there's nothing you can do about it except for sulk. You're not the one putting the smile on my face. Never were and never will be.

With You all I felt was Fire A burning passion tinted with Ecstasy and Desire A closeness bound by Scars and shared Secrets But With You all I felt was Protected Police tape signed with Chivalry and Endearment A closeness bound by Texts and tender Friendships And now All I feel is torn between aching desire and passionless safety

Torn
I have exhausted my ink, my pen, my hand. My tongue has unlearned all languages, all terms of endearment and soft sayings. I am no longer flesh, no longer blood, but have transformed myself into wind: a wind that has traveled the oceans for you, a wind that has discovered Africa's worth, that has lifted me into an African skirt where the origin of everything began.

i'm not proud of nicknames... but then again, i find nicknames to be the archetypal form of endearment - a "belittling" with warm affection... i didn't have a nickname in primary school... the girls tried, rabbit... Danielle... i remember Danielle calling me rabbit, why? the way i ran... jumping in between running steps... i like Danielle,a brunette, with enough freckles to make her a ***** ginger... high school? Goldilocks named by Graham... or Chewbacca by Barry.. i was the only man attempting to grow long hair.. a mullet wast the running joke, among the Ian crowd... university? no nickname... shitty time... while industrial roofing took off, working for my father? Picasso... i was meticulous with the tar... but lately... my grandmother has a nickname for me... because of my beard... these days i'm know as Castro... i'm not proud of nicknames... but i didn't make them up! i wish i had... that being said... nicknames are quiet endearing... i'd love to see Danielle once more... see how much the freckles took over her complexion; Danielle... **** me... what an ****** name... like m first love in the English tongue... the moment i heard it... Sam-anth-a(h)... curly hair, darkened blonde, mingling an autumnal-cherry mahogany with chocolate cinnamon... **** i've been so erotically mobilized / motivated... from such an early age... Danielle & Samantha... nicknames... and the rest is, history.

By definition, talent is to have natural aptitude or skill, So naturally for a poet like myself, Talent is what happens when artistry Becomes the integration of poetic elements— Transferred from savage seas of thought To the nakedness of a sheet of paper— A voice of confidence composing songs of beauty in motion, Live wired passion sparking spirit lifting inspiration. Talent is within the heart of whom possesses it— If the vessel is tainted with chaos Then the outcome of devastation is imminent If the vessel is painted with endearment Then the outcome of equanimity is prominent By definition, talent is to have natural aptitude or skill, So naturally for a poet like myself, Talent is a gift ,one not obtained freely— nor does it find its way to everyone, but it is the duty of the talented to be inspiration for the talent-less— To be a human of poetry, A messenger of the earth, Parallel to fellow man, no matter the race, creed or gender. Talent is within the heart of whom possesses it— If the vessel is tainted with chaos Then the outcome of devastation is imminent If the vessel is painted with endearment Then the outcome of equanimity is prominent. Joseph R. Adomavicia
