"flitters" poems
Chirp chirp A sparrow hops and flitters Jumps and flutters From branch To branch To wire Lining up with all her friends Waiting for some skybus to take them away Twitter and chortling about the world below Silly humans in their lucid bubbles of Space Squirrels chattering and cussing from the trees Thieving birdseeds and peaches Meanwhile the sparrow bounces on the wire Jittery and full of energy Twitching and flicking her feathers and tail Boune bounce hop Fidget and jump on straw thin legs And then whoosh All leave at once Their invisible skytrain pulling away as fast as it comes

sparrows
On silver star a gleam Reflecting purest love And by crescent moon I dream His love a radiant beam Glowing warmth from above On silver star a gleam Love flitters so supreme On the wings of a dove And by crescent moon I dream Love like a gentle stream Meanders hand in glove On silver star a gleam Time and distance extreme But ‘tis him I think of And by crescent moon I dream Enchanted it may seem He is my one truelove On silver star a gleam And by crescent moon I dream

By Crescent Moon (A Villanelle)
Inside your little mouth, a crucifix and a hula hoop plant great capers on the short hash marks on your glossy pinkish lips. Like a boardgame I can't win all by myself or a song without a tune, like the melody that chases strangers, or any words that precede goodbye. The future is coming quickly now, serfs lining up to set fire to their nostrils, take the cue ball and whet their mass wicks for the apostles. Anecdotal anomaly that J-walk over crosswalks whose life then becomes an apostrophe. Morbid fixture on the substrate, creatures limitlessly nodding. A grape-sized egg fills its own unit and erupts to shape the outlet. Your verb-legs may appear demonstratively while you crowd surf, we should play the music louder while we practice all our dance work. Sunday morning we wake up stiffly, my jowl hurts from mouthing softwords, the nights' adventurous perversity of thwarting dinosaurs with Cobra Starship. Even the back room closet manager gave us enough bleach to see our eyelids, frothy nictitating flitters drop freshly severed lashes that inspire wishes and sultry playlists. Consecrated mien market of company meals. Underneath the cable cars the dye blunders sores in my eyes. Said I had to go, said I had to die. Said I had an itch but I couldn't get in front of all of this and unwind. Between all of the bees and buttered flies he made it hard for us all to survive, or service this state of our lives. I recall schoolyards where children paid to their dimes for us to see the spaces in the middle of lines, the circles on the circles we liked, stuck in bubble baths with crayon all on their hands. For the price of staying alive I deliver a bribe to sway eyes from the crimes of street dwelling inner-city sinners with stomach contents' upsetted by the rough ********* of heavy petting. She eats red licorice rope with with my fingers rubbing on her tongue. A pedagogy I use to teach, but pretty much no longer have a use.

Of man be there two. One holder of mirror whilst other a scryer, renders mirror to glass pierces through. Where one speaks the other is silenced, mere whisper acknowledged in this interchanging feud. So in this blurred intersection, where there is no reflection Then what man of man be the truth? What man of man be the truth as he stands here split in two? Be it what he thinks or what he do that makes the man? This single man in double view. A multi facet that will reveal itself in time due. A facet only glimpsed in certain light, gone unnoticed by friends. One and the same in this game of life where does one begin and one end, when it is only in the battle that they raise their head? See the chimera for what it truly is, this lone Mr a Hydra instead. Each flitters between life and the scythe as they fight for control. Each condemned to the darkness as the other negotiates sole lease of this soul. But Death haunts the two because the two form the whole. And so this dual begins without rules and birthed in sin. Begun with one who seeks to release his debase desires that lie un-mired in mind,   confined to an imaginary state, where he can ******  slander unheard but then he plays with fate. He plays with fate, when he opens the bottle, hands himself to the primal, unprimed for the battle that lay ahead. That lay in head and heart and will; one's will that will leave one dead. But for now each has his role. One takes the guise of a Jackal in cunning he seeks to conceal the other, his brother in hiding, in sin he hides him inside him but he will not be silenced. The fiend longs for this angels confession and will teach wings a lesson in flight as he makes his escape in dark and in light. So this would be angel tries in vain to press the other down, so  that he can remain but he's wingless and in pain, feeling the strain of restraints  that will no longer contain the hate that dominates as the other pushes free, pushes to be this man's sole identity. This poor soul thought he could enslave that which was caged and to the beast he did open the door but it was this angel that lost his wings mauled by a beast that would not sing to his tune, just roar. Each sacrificed for the other as this man of man ends his days cold on the floor. For man can not negotiate with fate. And when One cannot take rule the pair will end their days together in the dual.

Her gaze flitters as she looks about the room. All seems the same as it once was, she thinks. Gliding across the shredded carpet, Her attention is drawn to the winding stairwell. Memories ravage her mind… She is seven years old, sliding down The smooth, freshly polished banister- She had won the race. Her little mind is ever so exultant. Climbing the stairs again, She never wants the game to end. She blinks, taken aback by the strength of the flashback. She knows it could have been far worse. A heavy sigh escapes her nostrils. She turns to leave the beaten, empty home, But caught an unbearable urge to run up the stairs- To the attic, to burry herself, In the moth eaten remains of her past.

All Grown Up
I miss you and my skin shivers The heaves of the flying engine The sky of our heavens angel Amiss and my soul webbed in a bay As the mist of the dew condenses The waters flows in our artistry Our chemistry a fizzle unreactive Our feeling dances as a spirit of its own The miss and want to walk my finger Rest it on your bare hairless chest The miss to walk and pluck a hair Resourcefully induce a prickly pain I miss you and my tear flitters On the trail of the cave I touch ****** the walls that hang your heart I miss you as we shield our soul and shell At the crossroads where the devil turns

Abandoned dusty in the attic A shadow flitters around the edge Caressing the smoky veil of glass, Searching to remember his first waking moment, When he had become but a phantom Of a man- but alas... it had been always. Silently knocking on the wall Which holds him from the other side- You saunter by and blink And shun the one moment you could have seen And he is forgotten from the ones who never knew him And the fabric Runs like soot over his world. His eyes see but the ghost of the substantial, His world imaginary staring through a window of glass From which shines an impossible prism Cutting a path through the smoky din The dream-dust settles, making it but a circle Glowing in the light That he could live in another’s eyes. The mirror shatters. Crushing glass slashing shards into the air Shrieks erupt as the phantasm is For the first time known, The storm that had been hidden in that one-way mirror Now unleashed, yet You avert your eyes as if it was still a pane of glass.

The Forgotten Mirror
Moon Dragon, Paragon of the Night, It winks and glistens to me As it floats and flitters in flight. Tubular tumbles and barrel rolls, it fills the night sky; Chanting ancient scrolls of the lost astral souls And blinding those with awe as it dives on by, Working the space like water. Around and beyond it curls and twirls, Around each star, distant and afar. Wrapping round for a celestial sweep Searching for the veins of stars that run so deep. So aloft it may tumble and mate with the night sky; But, ever so rare one may catch a sign with a human eye Of the Paragon of the night, Moon Dragon, as it dissolves Into invisible flight.

I'm the fire of his afterthought, the spark of guilt that lit his soul on fire that blazing innocence around his eyes when he smiles I stick tongue in his ear in devilish voice of seduction whisper in heated breath what I'm gonna do to him, one lick of heat he flitters like a moth to flame flickering in and out breathing my name; I got game, when I make him holler in vain he's tamed; sweet as a kitten licking and dipping in fiery pit, as I allow him to suckle a little *** having a fit, mind bound in illusions wrapping lips around wanton conclusions I leave him delusional as I whip with lust; blowing his mind just so, I can control him as I allow him to leave nibbling teeth marks tonguing wetness back to front upon silkiness of skin, delving into softness of elusive innocence; still whispering words, igniting fires of desirable passion as he's gasping for breath between wet thighs...yes I sighed as each word and lick fell between each soft petal dripping with his tenderest touch caught as I squeezed and teased, the heat of his passion blew flames in and out of petalled mouth, zapping any thoughts of guilt; sipping sweet nectar seeking political asylum as a defector tasting his way south; dribbling and mouthing in hunger on bended knee's to forever please me as he walked beside me collared on leash; in beggary silently still ********** me melting away each layer with every lick of my whip; he adored me with his touch, as I, his ebony skinned Mistress whipped his mind into submission; bending him to my will **** he thrilled me as I played him like a fiddle, he dribbled into my fiery pit in which he was well equipped so, I allowed him to dip with his flaming hot wick...LICKED

One cold breeze flitters by, Awake, a shiver rolls down. Seeping through the ground, Coated in many aspirers lie. Abrupt to awaken an eye, Gazing the half clearer image. Soon greeted in holy light, Fixated, gasp a lonelier sigh. A shadow sweeps by up high, Quickly to restore the blind. Bones barely intact inside, Reaching up seeking a sign. A shrivelled tongue I do try, Forcing out the air for words. Eyes swelled, an anxious look, Patience left to care the tide. The blue air reflecting from the water, Soon I arise to realise where I’d laid. The minute grains, digging deeper, Penetrating through my rough skin. A slight wash for the ends of my toes, Clearing the dirt further up my feet. Soon my whole legs were glistening, Shining like the pearls deep beneath. With my head levelled I start to recall, Visions for which I felt most alone. I search my pocket to reveal a clue, That night I spent burning in waste. Shaking in disbelief, falsely accused, The bluntness of my saviour’s truth. The sea I think to dispose this guilt, An addict never deserves his mercy.

...how fleeting is life time flitters like a bird in the sky you sit and watch it go by then realise what that means and fade into the grey years then slip off the Earth like every person eventually does then you wake up into the real world yes, Earth was real but now it is a dream of old you begin your life in the next chapters of the eternal story of God...

Time flitters like a bird in the sky
Abandoned dusty in the attic A shadow flitters around the edge Caressing the smoky veil of glass, Searching to remember his first waking moment, When he had become but a phantom Of a man- But alas, it had been always. Silently knocking on the wall Which holds him from the other side- You saunter by and blink And shun the one moment you could have seen And he is forgotten from the ones who never knew him And the fabric Runs like soot over his world. His eyes see but the ghost of the substantial, His world imaginary staring through a window of glass From which shines an impossible prism Cutting a path through the smoky din The dream-dust settles, making it but a circle Glowing in the light That he could live in another’s eyes. That longing glare barely lights a beam In the dusty sandstorms That swirl unknowing in the upstairs abyss. A cobweb of days long forgotten Spells out a lost map of parts none traveled And bone-dead The shadow glimpses your heart and shudders. Lost skies of fallen stars none found The petty grains sifted through As if you never thought to look For the moon-bright glimmered tear In the featureless field of silver what you only saw Was you And the night sky could weep no longer. *In between the hope And the reality Falls the shadow-* The mirror shatters. Crushing glass slashing shards into the air Shrieks erupt as the phantasm is For the first time known, The storm that had been hidden in that one-way mirror Now unleashed, yet You avert your eyes as if it was still a pane of glass.

I say to you, Life flitters from the clasps of snoozy men Who wish to feel comfort alone And clings to they who feel in their bones The slow decay to an inevitable end. I tell you, Those who invite the sweet drips of the heart As well as its sour, Live for days in the senseless man’s hour. For though these heartfuls hold a burden While fancying pleasure, free of strife, They ask their hearts to pump them alive Knowing full well the pangs of sorrow May course in their veins by noon tomorrow.

A Cold Night
every time i see you, i feel as if i can take on the whole world. you make my insides burst with the flitters of butterflies and you make my smile touch the edge of space and my laugh bubbles in the entirety of the air surrounding us. because of you, i feel hope rise in my chest. you're like a whole new universe that i get to explore. my fingertips caress the blackholes and supernovas you possess and your eyes are a new experience in themselves, like wormholes ready to take you to a far-away galaxy every single time you look into them. your hands are foreigners to my body. they know not were to start or to end, but they still are. they know what to do as if they were programmed to feel the vibrations on the soft skin of my back and the tenderness i have everywhere around. you could give me a million new words and i'd spend countless hours trying to decipher them with this newfound knowledge that you have given me. how much do you know in that beautiful mind of yours? how many brain cells do you possess, you beautiful, intangible being? your words keep me strong, they keep me alive. my heart beats stronger because of you, too. every single fiber of my being feels stronger and healthier and more in love with every cell that i possess. because of you, i feel more alive than i ever have. your touch is still so soft even with your resilient hands. your eyes are like the eighth wonder of the world. they soften my heart with the dips i take into their deep blue oceans and the sea-foam green splashing inside of them. and your lips could speak a thousand incoherent words and i'd still smile because they were coming from your beautiful mouth. because of you, i am falling in love with myself. i'm not sure that i've ever done that before. but i know this feeling inside of my chest and while i am infatuated with you, i am falling in love with me. and that's more than i could ever hope for. so thank you, my dear, for being this unknown universe that i get to explore and for being someone who can help me fall in love with myself.

A feral flutter Light headed, heavy winged A slightly singed stutter to follow Bow your head into the faeries hollow Tiny hands of guidance, till you’re dancing in the gold and blue That fae has a face I know as you You chirp from birch to birch The echoes of your ivy crown Your laugh is etched in every sound In tree barks and wolf howls Drunken singing night owls In the shimmer of the mystical Rainbows when the sun hits crystal Late days and lightning And we remember you shining So many memories to make us swoon Your face I see in every moon A spirit embroidered with feathers Snoozing sweetly in the heathers Inked with sunshine and smothered in glitter Beyond the stars your chariot flitters Eyes of kindness and heart filled with love I know your smile still sings above These pixies they steal teeth and treasures They’ll take you on celestial endeavours Till somewhere soft and serene you’ll have landed Somewhere you’ll dance with the winged bandits

Winged bandits
-"Why do you breathe out?" ~"Because I breathe in." -"Why do you breathe in?" ~"Because I breathe out." -"How did this begin? I mean, how did it come about?" ~"I'm not exactly sure, though I swear I heard a shout." -"Well, who was yelling to you?" ~"I don't know...but I cried." -"And at your beginning, why cry, why not sing?" ~"Well because, my good friend, we start to die when we begin." -"Pfffft, well if that's the way you see it then fine. We'll let it be-" ~"Oh no, dearest companion, you've asked the questions, the truth you will see. How truly there is no real Me or real You. How the mind has disguised what is one as something two. Two sides of the brain means two processors at work. I mean I should know I've been running them since birth. My experience cleaved so I may be able to comprehend something vague called reality? All that is real teases me, it flitters around my head and vanishes into nowhere, a land beyond Time,  beyond the dead. And so that's what I mean between breathing and not. Because the space between breaths is where the Truth will be taught." -"...well...okay...hmm, um, check please!"

I’d have liked to have heard those tinkling bells through the ether while at the kitchen sink behind me from another room As I have before I wish that you would haunt me, That I would see the motion of a darkened blur out of the corner of my eye Or hear your feet upon the hallway floor boards I remember when as of late I would pass by and you’d reach out to stretch or say don’t go I’d hold your hand and say I’m coming right back Now I look at my bed to find you I touch the blankets and the other tumbled bedclothes Here and Here But you’re gone Just sleek emptiness I remember this well from before Of standing in dark closets breathing in and out stale papers and linen over-crisp the scent of solitude and Memory Of what never happened and never will. Where are you? I would cry how is there no trace left? No butterfly a-lights or pennies appear on sidewalks that I roam No hummingbird flitters before me to dash away No breeze rustles through the palm tree fronds as if to say hello, I am here always You’re not in the bathroom or in a chair I can’t hear you cry for me in the dark Or touch my face at two a.m. I hope that you still love me I hope I never hurt you and that’s why you’re Gone.

Doing Dishes in the afternoon
You are the sweetest dreams, and alluring songs, The honey'd days, and warmest nights. In my mind i am not scared, of lonely silence, of bitter hours, of colder years. In my hands air entwines, flowing softly, like imagined hair, dazed in beauty, we can but stare. Then with a start, it all but flitters. Nothing in place, nothing to quell, the hearts loving pace.

Day dream lover
I can hear his voice once again, in every moment not filled with obsession, im drowned in his deepest depression. He screams through eyes that deafen emotion, a pain so deep it stirs me to motion. He's stealing everything ive tried to build, that innocence that power that i've regained, he rips and tears in an anger once famed. He is my tempest behind locked doors, the one i fear and love to my core. I can feel the power in every vibration, His passion it pains me and weakens my presence, with hands that rip and break in godly omnipotence. for eventually he wins and my defenses they fall, and beaten by fists that memory recalls. He is a danger to my right of mind! too many times has he rendered me blind! push him back and gag his voice! chain him so he has no choice! so in my mind he no longer flitters, and give me clarity with purity glitters. So once again i kiss the mirror, hoping to make your anger winter. to lock your voice and calm your crying, and in your cage i watch you dying, goodnight the boy i used to be, sleep now in treasured dignity unburdened with this duplicity.

once again i kiss the mirror.
Aislinn and her brother holed up by the river. She says, “I feel funny,” as he pours her another. The wind shakes the ramparts; the vinyl house flitters with ominous slithers. It’s cold, but that’s not why she shivers. Her head softly sways to the beat of the drum that is smashing and ripping the walls of her lungs. The garter emerges with ravenous fervour - sinks its teeth into the flesh of her thigh, as she hums a lullaby. A blaze erupts to the left - there’s a flash in his eyes - and she closes hers tight, for she knows that tonight that what’s left of the white - will be lost. There is no coming back from the dusk, after this. Stooped by the water she scrubs the stained satin - all frantically achingly - but her efforts are lost amongst rust-coloured memories. All the limbs of the lamb have been severed sadistically and he’s tossing them into the fire. There is no use in running from it; the web has been spun and sewn into the veins that bind each waif-like wrist. She knows now what she must do; so she snatches the torn torso, and with lamb tucked to ***** leaps longingly into the blistering bright. It feeds on the tenderness – like a leech in her heart. And she closes her eyes, for she knows that last night, what was left of the light was lost. It will be the last night, but there is no coming back from the dusk, after that.

Blood Burns
I can only summon feelingfulness like the passing of a dove, postponing its arrival mid-air, somewhere along the tucked bramble across Poblacion, starting with metaphorical sensibility or an insensibly bland space to procure wanted meaning. Girls prefer roses and their bright foreheads diademed with more flowers, and boys, their chiaroscuro or lack of a color thereof, seems to be fitting in this maladroit contrast, and so I begin, as always, with your very vague and caged memory. Your face, the whiteness of snowcapped alps. Your strut, my slalom in a treacherous course of words reduced to whisperings, to flutings. Your voice, though nuanced, flitters with an overtone of arrogance: if sound was clothed, yours would be flamboyant ermine. And the line in front of you before I, my arbitrary turn, assimilates into a picturesque form of waiting somewhere in Cubao. I wanted to smash myself with train-speed towards the metallic turnstile, which, would then famish me even so, just as much as I wish to be a car crash somewhere within the outskirts of your town, heavily vandalized by the swill of squalor hefting itself like the rest of the world conscious of its viscera.   This is how I start you – like waiting for the sun to emerge by Borobudur, or the clandestine *** of mildew and grass, a hundredfold of images appear before me and I cannot choose upon my whims and caprices. Are you a dove? A spear of Sun? A thunderous crackle of an impending rain? A harlequin? A moseying cirrus? Or just another by-stander in the crowds where I ultimately seek your being?       This answerlessness measures my knowledge of star, and my breath snuffed out of me while I sigh from exhausted penchants, outweigh dissimilarities and symmetries. A progeny from all superseding conundrums arises: are you a retrogression of a wave back to its saltine wound, flailing in brine? Or are you just the vast sea and nothing else on a fine and lucid day where children skip stones and chant name-callings?                    I sense the peril in this undertaking, and much to my chagrin, I still    do not know how to end you.
