"fistful" poems
If I was dead, And my bones adrift Like dropped oars In the deep, turning earth; Or drowned, And my skull A listening shell On the dark ocean bed; If I was dead, And my heart Soft mulch For a red, red rose; Or burned, And my body A fistful of grit, thrown In the face of the wind; If I was dead, And my eyes, Blind at the roots of flowers Wept into nothing, I swear your love Would raise me Out of my grave, In my flesh and blood, Like Lazarus; Hungry for this, And this, and this, Your living kiss.

If I was Dead - Carol Ann Duffy
Bound, wound, and tied up all tight With porcelain features, I drowned in her sight Dominant I control her, she submits to my needs I punish and tease her with preferences of sinful greed Bound, wound, and tied up all tight She lashes and thrashes but I control this fight Blindfolded and gagged, aroused from my touch Candle drips between her hips; she loves this so much Strapped to the bed with a fistful of her mane She enjoys pain and pleasure; I love this **** game Bound, wound, and tied up all tight My fledgling fun toy I command her tonight She moans with pleasures and screams when she’s bad Electricity attached, her fears makes me glad Vaginal to **** play, or no *** at all A new ******* kit arrives; I’m bouncing off the wall Bound, wound, and tied up all tight Under the bed restrains, ****** clamps, and leather cuffs in my sight She’s cuffed, restrained, clamped and all ready She needs me it feeds me and keeps me rock steady She gives me her all in suspended animation Together we are driven by a powerful lustful twisted sensation For Bound, wound, and tied up all tight You’re my favorite present, my fix, and my all through the night

A **** GAME
. The waves spilled the rising tide back into the scattered footprints  in the sand deeply entrenched in life’s mystery, receding into every breaking wave A stiff sea breeze put back every grain of sand, elements of a larger object gathers, gravity firmed, into the silent shoreline chasms— a beheld essence washed out to sea by the fugitive tides and retreating sea-foam Soon all trodden traces visibly vanish; unmarked mileposts on a metaphysical pathway slip away back to a windswept shoreline and elapsing summer tide Seabirds glide in slow-motion, held sway into the shapeless gusts — as if feathered puppets hovering, hanging from the rafters of the burgeoning orange sky There's an uncommon peace in the renaissance; effervescent crisp ocean air filling the indefinable emptiness marooned within each heartbeat’s echo Each new breath inhaled,  disappearing within the unhealed hollow of every thing once believed; fully aware this life is unholdable as time, yet feeling many things deeply retained     in each passing moment— slipping away like a handful of sand sifting through all these hands once held Presence becoming wreathed in a miasma of stillness, space that levitates like an unpredictable fog that seeps into the gnawing voids of an unsated hunger harlon rivers  ...  August 1st,  2018

a fistful of sand
Against the rubber tongues of cows and the hoeing hands of men Thistles spike the summer air And crackle open under a blue-black pressure. Every one a revengeful burst Of resurrection, a grasphed fistful Of splintered weapons and Icelandic frost ****** up From the underground stain of a decayed Viking. They are like pale hair and the gutturals of dialects. Every one manages a plume of blood. Then they grow grey like men. Mown down, it is a feud. Their sons appear Stiff with weapons, fighting back over the same ground.

Thistles
His fist scarred, beat-red fistful of intention Rugged, crass unchiseled wonder wrapped in a gentle smile A bear of a man, broad shouldered hulking bent Stuffed-fluff heart tattooed with the echo of love The times he grappled in sweaty- slick tangle of arms and drew blood blooming bright-crisp-apple-red upon white mat. Beat, Beat, Beat, down Tap, Tap, Tap, out White knuckle-grasp uppercut Full mount, disengage Joint locked, feet hooked, Triangle hold Submission. The times he brought grown men to their knees, and humbled himself on his own The times he never gave up and the times he gave in To the fight To the system To the sweet draw of relief The times he fought not for the thrill but to make it by Rage hot-red facing the injustice of poverty His steel spine riddled with the rust of life, the rust of reality The corrosive sludge of hate, and words left unspoken. Busted well-worn hands held soft smooth skin Grooved fingers and velvet mouth The scratch of bearded stubble, red-lined skin prickled with goose flesh, slick coated in sweat A new fight, wrapped knuckles cushioned with the promise of forgiveness Of acceptance a force to be reckoned with in her own right. Broken hand, dreams stunted, depressed-mind-numbing Lost in his own thought, out of the fight Desperate to be back in the game mind and body Envy-red, drawn to the fight of others Soft smooth hands, short-small-painted nails calm bristled hair Growling bear, baring teeth in silent-wounded pride The time she bandaged pride, and encouraged humility The times she scalded his senses the raw-red liquid fire of love His shade in the heat of a red-blistered sun Cooling, and igniting inspiration The time she became a fight worth winning.

With my face over her hair fallen neck sending through my lips what I’ve dreamed of compiled tastes One arm wrapped her waist The spinal curve of her back Give-way my others embrace In my palm falling slowly with surrendered hold Her reclining body takes plunge A body wondrously dreamt by the Gods but never to beholden For that vessel has since long belonged And in a quiet covet, the Gods continue to sin Over and across the bed Released from my grip Upwards into her hairline a sweat spreading mist Grabbing a fistful of mane I’d lay down on the runway to attain this flowing coat between my fingers For the length of time her hair has entwined me in cuffs Pulling harder I gladly yield in acceptance this braid given stain a permanent scar Slow let go of her feathers tangled In her neck I’m keeping a burrow in repose Seeing buttons undone in sync to expose The destination of my lips next imprint like advanced shadowing hints In a mechanical motion Hair pulling emotion Triggers upward her chest and chin Two spotlights on the ceiling what her ******* up send Shaping her back an arc like a half moons descent   When she finishes her unbuttoning Next for my belt she reaches then the unzip I’ll never forget She takes me in invest I take her in continuous shooting All the unfastened unclothed Now Firm Quake Earned And Shake The peak is reached from this encounter defined by a collection of far to many lustfully seductive mental hive of trapped aches Then I kiss her lips in return she kisses me back, felt...

Her Body, like a half moons decent
With my face over her hair fallen neck sending through my lips what I’ve dreamed of compiled tastes One arm wrapped her waist The spinal curve of her back Give-way my others embrace In my palm falling slowly with surrendered hold Her reclining body takes plunge A body wondrously dreamt by the Gods but never to beholden For that vessel has since long belonged And in a quiet covet, the Gods continue to sin Over and across the bed Released from my grip Upwards into her hairline a sweat spreading mist Grabbing a fistful of mane I’d lay down on the runway to attain this flowing coat between my fingers For the length of time her hair has entwined me in cuffs Pulling harder I gladly yield in acceptance this braid given stain a permanent scar Slow let go of her feathers tangled In her neck I’m keeping a burrow in repose Seeing buttons undone in sync to expose The destination of my lips next imprint like advanced shadowing hints In a mechanical motion Hair pulling emotion Triggers upward her chest and chin Two spotlights on the ceiling what her ******* up send Shaping her back an arc like a half moons descent   When she finishes her unbuttoning Next for my belt she reaches then the unzip I’ll never forget She takes me in invest I take her in continuous shooting All the unfastened unclothed Now Firm Quake Earned And Shake The peak is reached from this encounter defined by a collection of far to many lustfully seductive mental hive of trapped aches Then I kiss her lips in return she kisses me back, felt...

on the green hole 8, and five over par southern california sunshine numb leaning on a putting iron leaning on a fistful of xanax i had given up on the game a long time ago just didn't know it yet my friend was strung out on speed and coke "breakfast of champions", he said he had been aimlessly whacking the ball for the last hour "fifty bucks to whoever hits Brian Wilson" he suddenly yelled! sure enough, there was Brian Wilson, standing by the mexican food-truck, waiting for a taco or burrito or God knows what i felt xanax confident so i walked over and shook his hand i told him thank you, and that his music probably saved my life "probably" he asked? "yes" i said, and walked away i told my friend to take some xanax and chill out "xanax is just xanax spelled backwards" he said and i could not argue with that we never finished that round of golf, but somehow i still feel like i won

xanax is just xanax spelled backwards
The identity is not correct, God’s people dishonored and in a state of aggression, Geographically topsy turvy, the history is miseducation Blasphemy spits in the face of the Motherland like mocking the wrath of a silent Beast… Like scorching the sky for ThunderWe’re provoking Divine InterventionAND SO IT SHALL BE…!

a fistful of tears
FLASHLIGHT If you stumbled onto it It would underwhelm you In its common stature. Four and a half inches. No more than A fistful of Black aluminum. I found it on his shelf As I was cleaning out The apartment. I'm still taken by the things That were of value to him And the care he gave In the preservation. It was his grateful heart Taking nothing for granted Protecting tools with consideration Not unlike the way He would care for his friends. It immediately meant something to me. Like the orange pocket knife. (Orange His favorite color, Knives His collection.) This small utility Reminded me of him. Understated, yet powerful Easy to handle but efficient Erasing darkness Wherever he went. I rolled it in my fingers And the tiny beacon Called to me... I possessed it as he possessed me. The diminuitive tool Lays among the other Integral neccesities Of my blue collar Bread winning World. Intentional or not I find myself In more dark places than Before Just so I have excuses to use it And say his name Every occasion that I pick it up. Inside the dark recesses of a water heater - Devon. Underneath the leaking tub - Devon. In the closet of burned out motors Impossible to reach bolts And rusted designs - Devon. Then sometimes Standing at the door of my van A daydream breaks While a light blinks in my eyes, My fingers sending Morse code Involuntarily From my soul - Devon, Devon, Devon, Devon. Regardless the darkness It has no power Over the light So I reach for him And roll him around In my memories And the blackness Is beaten back By his goodness. Every closet of the spirit Brightened in that indelible smile Where sadness slumps away Ashamed that it even tried. Selah. (You are the brightest one, my son.)

(... And i like you.) We never tire Of trying to fit everyone Into the shape of voids Our hearts have carved And that's fine. It's still not something I'd do to you. (..And i like you) Love has made a ghost Out of the best of us And we anchor to the memories To save our entities. And honestly who am i to judge? But you knock new air into my dead, dusty lungs (..And i like you) We ache, And we mould our ache into arts. Abusing and devouring  love, Like scorched land tasting the first rain drop. And I'm one of the many inked hearts. I would leave my pen though, you make me want to. (..And i like you) We all have been loved, And we all have been lonely, Some of us feel the presence, More when it starts to ebb. And I've always felt myself overstaying my welcome, even before arrival. But I'd leave my pieces on your door, as an excuse for you to call me. (..And i like you) We are always looking for a replacement. Disguising our sadness with a new skin Trading one addiction for another; a vicious cycle. All these temporary fixes and the perpetual sadness. But you could be a detour from this dead-end I'm leading to. (And i like you.) Fistful of mosaic desires, Confessions barely held in by my teeth Future is easier to swallow than salvage Your intoxicated lips smirk in agreement. All these loving hearts with eyes askance. But something tells me if i showed you my palm, you'd understand. (..And i like you)

(..And i like you)
"Good girl!" he said, as she took her first steps. he gave her a hug, and she was proud. "Good girl!" he said, when she answered the question right. he gave her a gold star, and she was proud. "Good girl," he said, after her fifth shot. he kissed her slow, with his hand on her thigh, and she was embarassed. "Good girl," he said, with a fistful of her hair. he pushed her head down, and she was numb; she stopped being proud a long time ago. "Good girl," she told herself, when she finally got it right. she gave herself a pat on the back for realizing she alone held the key to her own self worth. and she was proud.

Superfluous
The moment you were brought out from the hospital room and I saw your soul open its eyes for the first time and the drums of your heart start its beat all my troubles, all my cares, all my worries fell apart and at that moment I decided that I would teach you to live. You were born in the age where to write is vintage to think is ancient and to love is prehistoric but I will rewrite history for you and make sure that you live in the past before buildings that block out the sky before someone decided to take time’s hands and spin them ‘til they whipped like a tornado before people had to start paying for oxygen because the air had become too polluted with chemicals and greed and so-called innovation but in reality every nation was just trying to be one cent richer than the other. You were born in the age where books are only found in museums and flowers are only found pressed in between those books but I will make sure you grow up with a garden of words and wildflowers I will teach you to treasure every letter, every seed, every fern because there's no better remedy to anything than a good old paperback and a fistful of freshly picked lavenders. I will teach you to walk in a world that tells you to run, to glide, to ride the latest, the fastest, I will teach you to walk not to be late for school, but to be early enough to see the city opening its eyes to see the machines hum to life because there’s nothing more beautiful than beginnings and to see the morning sun push and pull push and pull push and pull you away from the strobe lights away from the stench of loneliness and lost time I will teach you to walk so that you will be forced to slow down, breathe, and think because it seems to me that your generation hasn’t heard of that word before. You were born in the age where people look at themselves as gods but I will teach you to see beauty without mirrors and empty words I will teach you the wonders of the heart I want you to know how it feels like to watch something grow I want you to know the joy of licking a homemade ice cream cone but I also want you to know failure to know how it feels like to struggle and strive to know the pain of losing someone because no matter what those empty advertisements and neon screens tell you life isn’t a dream, and the pain shakes you and aches you and breaks you reminding you that you are alive and there is still so much to learn and there are a million other things I want you to learn but most importantly and I swear to you I’m not leaving this earth until you learn how to live.

I've never had a fistful of love, because my fist is too full of dirt from digging graves. And the greatest fist I've ever known is the one leaving bruises all over my insides. But that fist has graduated and been granted tools to be used as weapons. And my insides which were once diamonds, are now nothing but sawdust. And I can feel the knife. I can always feel the knife. And stab me just for kicks because it tickles my fickle chest and makes me feel like I'm living in a French city with a quick and fickle tramway system that can take me anywhere I want to be. But instead I'm always going to a town a mere hour away and sitting in traffic in a stuffed automobile, wishing I was where the trains are. Because the trains that have always sang me lullabies whisper melodies to me all the time now, through smoke and haze and swirling lights. I can feel the knife. I can always feel the knife. Call me Miss November because I'm the first snowfall after the best time of year, and I cut the world with my icicle sword of a soul. Can you feel the sword? I hope you can always feel the sword. And I will leave and the world will be warm and happy, and upon my returnal, I'll give you beautiful sweater weather and stab you with my icicle sword when you least expect it. I can feel the knife. You can feel the sword. It tickles. Me and Miss June sing a sister song, making harmonies with our weaponry. My icicle sword, her scalding torch. Just call me Miss Emmy Lou November. I'll sing a duet with you and depart for almost forever, and leave with my sister, Miss June. Wake up. It's November. I'm here. Wake up. I won't be here for long. I was born red all over. Never knowing if I'm meant for love or anger. But angry leaves fall in November, getting their revenge. But nobody listens to anger when it's falling to the ground so gracefully. So come to my November house jam and we'll all be angry and loving and cold and happy and dreading the latter end of my company, and I'll be wishing sister June was with me. I'm a blackhearted lover. I'm a blackhearted grave digger. I'm a blackhearted skinny lover with skinny arms that'll never be able to cover anyone from my frigid aura.

Eyes blinded by passion as you grab my hair Claimed as yours, you display proudly And I  cannot hold still Desire burns hot You stick your fingers through my smile and make room Room to claim me as yours, once and for all A fistful of hair positions you inside of me Eyes water with depth Trying to breathe, I squirm Held gently but firmly in place A naughty smile and a Twinkle in those hazel eyes No, you will not win, Not this time. For I am not yours You are mine My rod of molten steel My elixir of life Mine Hold me in place and take it home My eyes never leave yours You watch intently as you disappear, repeatedly I can't help but smile, though I have no room to do so Warm and wet i take what you give And when I am released I find myself sharing the joy

coup d'état
I remember one time, way back when I was ten years old I was watching my friend do his homework His mom trying to balance cooking and helping him out Racing between the oven and his side And I recall sitting there and staring at his paper Excitement and intrigue was filling my mind Envying his prestige, just a few grades ahead of me I couldn’t wait to do homework like that A fistful of years fleetingly flew by With my fists closed, I would wait at bus stop after bus stop Until I was at the same one as him But I wanted to grow up so badly and be like he was Instead I lived ahead of the present Waiting at the wrong bus stop for a bus that would never show One filled with experience and insight Now I just have a blank paper in front of me that’s white.

Everyone wants to hear a poem that rhymes from the girl who rhymes But I’ve got no rhythm tip toe around the precision of other writers I get lost easily in the waves of patterns and structure Rupture my skin in the process Destroying words and phrases in the mess of my skin and blood Dragging myself through the mud I am a jumble of words that don’t even fit together in sentences My types of fetish’s aren’t feet or latex, but poetry Supposedly everyone can rhyme but My fingers can find the time from the space between pen and paper Maybe if i cover my room in wallpaper made from failed poems I’ll finally get there Rip out all my hair I’ve never successfully written rhyme worth sharing I’ve been in this despairing state for a while Ran miles on my tongue Wrung myself dry from all my creativity Found I have a bigotry towards everything I write Everyone wants to hear a poem that rhymes from the girls who rhymes I ask for an example Sample sounds on paper Ending up with ample amounts of couplets But its never enough, its always going to fall short Someone needs to take me to court I’m copying the sound of other writers Profound thoughts never said eloquently enough It’s rough to be a writer that doesn’t know how to write But I’ve never been the type to give up Cover up all my failed attempts at rhyming with free-verse Curse me, Or even worse Coerce me into thinking I know what I’m doing Because whats worse than blissful ignorance Hand my a fistful of advice and set me free But I’ll never be the girl who rhymes rhymes My fingers will never find the time lost between pen and paper Everyone wants to hear a poem that rhymes from the girl who rhymes Sometimes they nearly get their wish But all dreams parish in jumbles of words in phrases Blaze through whole journals trying to write two poems Crumbling my own thoughts in my too fast thought process Everyone wants to hear a poem that rhymes from the girls who rhymes I still with pencil and paper Set out on this caper With a website that gives me words that rhyme I’ve decided to let people get their fix Try my hand at rhymes Take my time And slow down my too fast thought process Soak up all my creativity A rid my mind of every bigotry I ever had Because the girl who rhymes Will always be the girl who rhymes

you're standing there... if waiting were a statue, and night sudden release. i slide up behind you-- take a fistful of hair and drape it over your shoulder. press my lips to the back of your neck, and ask with searingly hot breath: do you know what you've done? you throw your head back as if being impaled...you always knew i was there. i snake bite your listening ear-- for the Shakti of my poetry to enter... and never exit. do you know what you've done? this is cosmic...and twin the flame.

Snake Bite
Oh! Woe to the poor captivated lover Being trapped in love, but beloved gone Oh! The moment I'm sitting as tulip alone In my heart's blood, she is gone as wind The voice of ax didn't come from Bistoon Shireen is gone to Farhad's dream tonight Oh! I will inform you of my painful alas The day my enormous patience finally gone Pity lover that flew your grapevine hair With a hundred hopes come, gone unhappy I am happy you abandoned all my rivals Although, you left me as fistful of soil to wind Mountains and deserts are mournful tonight Lovers as Majnoon and Farhad gone forever

copywrittenly yours, you
A fistful of time... Saw the doing and the undoing of misguided hands. A fistful of words... Hurled in exchange, like expended rounds that drew more than they should. A fistful of life... Taken for granted and traded in for forgotten sands. A fistful of heart... Wrung dry by familiar digits... Suffocating still... Like I knew it would.

Wrung
Just now, laid out like your favorite uncle gone before his time with auntie stretched out beside, I woke to the perfect metaphor for the too-bad, so-sad, too-fast nature of time—or maybe was a simile, as in: the way month upon hour slips away like… Like…like the runt daisy in the bouquet from the ex-lover you never wanted to hear from, least loved bloom among a fistful of beauties never smiled upon at all—Yes—least of all, this wasted flower, its whole-milk petals yellowing And (like time, lest your forget) fluttering, broken-off, to the coffee-stained and salt-strewn countertop…like that, indeed, or something close. That was on my mind as I half awoke—but stirring entire the bundle of words of the ideal image died (yes, sad) in its place: I thought of writing some clever tale how waking up the flash of a line of the perfect literary device some glowing simile or metaphor (how time is the flight plan of a hummingbird and before we can begin to grasp the next orders barked at the co-pilot, the captain has steered the thrumming craft from sugar water to sheltered branch, and what moment passed between is one of many such ticks and tocks, the aggregate meaning that when we wake up suddenly 30, 40, or deceased like your dear uncle, it never seemed like time was passing at all) slipped away from me—wait, I’m getting there— and the words’ escape and time’s escape were somehow one and the same… But no, I thought, too precious. Besides, it’s for sure been done. March 30, 2012 4:02 a.m.

Hazel. Hand in my hand, falling from great heights. My skin, my salvation. Hay-zelle. More a way of breathing than a way to pronounce ones name. Hay. Zelle. He was H, just H on weekends. Haze in his business, teenagers calling on him to supply them with a haze of their own. He was ****** to his followers, 'whom God strengthens.'. But in my hands, he was always Hazel. Was there someone before him? No. In fact, had there been previous exposure to one of his caste there would may have been no Hazel at all. Like muddled eyes his name refers to was he. An ocean inside of the mudslide in me. You can always count on the broken-hearted for a fistful of metaphors and similes that make nothing of themselves to you. Souls and bodies, the ones that have chosen an orbit in the universe of me, this is what I loved like Hades to Persephone. Look at this sole pomegranate seed.
