This is how it goes your hands will be proxy for mine my hands will be proxy for yours your fingers my fingers and my fingers yours what I describe, you enact told in detail so exact Just to begin I squeeze your ******* knead and pinch tweak a ****** give it a tug Stroke your tummy work over your thighs move up the inner where skin is smooth circle around, moving in till soft contours are caressed through pants that burn to be removed that pain you to wear and I see in my mind as you describe the spreading, darkening patch that fills the gusset Now they're pulled down removed quickly, completely and you are revealed spread, opened, shameless Gentle fingertips tease dance in circles, barely touching yet the fire within grows back and forth, round and round dance the fingertips as both reciprocate with growing pace and firmer touch I hear you gasp down the line and your breathing quickens as you hear mine as your excitement fuels mine as mine fuels yours in our feedback loop of lust And I tell you how my fingertip would give way to tonguetip if I could that I can taste you in my imagination fragrant, salty sweetness with musky undertones the tip of my tongue now circling then flicking back and forth beating out the rhythm that you best harmonise with bringing forth your moans Then darting down, back between wet, glistening folds exploring each ridge and valley working remorselessly Breathing faster now with animal grunts and moans directions of pleasure gasped breathless down the phone As fingers again take the lead find the opening slip readily within probe, explore, **** find that place on your front wall yes, just that spot that's a little rougher and feels sooo goood Add a second finger working and ******* licking and rubbing moaning and gasping barely intelligible now ...yess...more...yess...ohhh are all that have meaning Finger three joins one and two then the pressure builds demanding release and shaking and thrusting grows to shuddering and...yes...yesss...sooo clooose ******* faster furiously till we both explode hearing each other's voicing of our ecstasy in language intelligible only in this one context Brains and voices return as we bask in the afterglow and what passes between us then in those moments is the deepest intimacy of all Cynthia Pauline Jones 01/02/2014

**** the BS: this craft is the raft we hang onto
The worst part is I loved you back Adulterous affair, Absolutely abominable! Maybe you didn’t mean to love Me, the girl inside the young woman’s body, you only thought you knew Flirtatious banter once hinted at thoughts
 Unsayable; Intelligible abyss once linked unsuspecting minds; Understanding so Deep, so Accidental. Praise me, praise me. Be careful, Time is taking over, How could you, you fool You can't beat the clock! You're in love now. Did you intend for this? But was it Me you sought to love? Or was it just my body? The thrill of the ilicit, The power Over a child? Origins unknown 
Grown out of your control. Say goodbye to reason I’m your master now. What’s happening to you? You’re afraid and I, well I am the child who will destroy you Words, your last weapon Escalating, no wait, stop You’re killing yourself. It's too late I tried to warn you You failed me, embarrassed Me. I egged you on. I loved you back. I’m sorry. #MeToo

THAT crazed girl improvising her music. Her poetry, dancing upon the shore, Her soul in division from itself Climbing, falling She knew not where, Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship, Her knee-cap broken, that girl I declare A beautiful lofty thing, or a thing Heroically lost, heroically found. No matter what disaster occurred She stood in desperate music wound, Wound, wound, and she made in her triumph Where the bales and the baskets lay No common intelligible sound But sang, "O sea-starved, hungry sea.'

A Crazed Girl
i am convinced now that no passion exists like that between a man and his craft. no love like the love for solitude, by which one can enter a world all his own, and plunge to its unfathomable depths, carelessly disregarding his return. no quest otherwise compares- oh how could it? when countless years of history can never be retold, never be reenacted with different players and different settings? a man plays a role for a day, a month, a year, a decade, then withers in the sun, a palm in the desert. no amount of memories can be remade, and no amount of care is remembered. he is destined only to be vessel of loneliness for others to mistakenly join and unjoin. but in his craft a man loses himself. he has only his love to invest and only his love to be returned. when stricken with failure he selfishly laps it all up, gathers it close to his heart, and holds it as treasure, locked and filed. he searches for the bottom with lighted torch, the end with relentless fervor, finds no evil along the way to be a hindrance, has no expectation dashed and destroyed. his eagerness for success drives him deeper. his delusions of grandeur, perpetually emboldened. come find me, i am waiting for you the solitude beckons him into its fissure, the cleft in the crust of civilization, indescribable and hardly intelligible to others. yet its perfection is infinite as the stars are remote. with enthusiasm does a man pursue that perfection, does he pray to be with that god, Lord of his life and Giver of his breath. he is a post for flags to be hung, seen only by those who wander the same mountains, searching for a chasm of their own. he is unaided in his walk with the stars, windowless and guided by celestial phosphorescence. a man needs silence, darkness beneath his eyelids, and space in his bed to breathe.

From Abert to Einstein
Edgar Lee Masters. 1869– Silence I HAVE known the silence of the stars and of the sea, And the silence of the city when it pauses, And the silence of a man and a maid, And the silence for which music alone finds the word, And the silence of the woods before the winds of spring begin, And the silence of the sick When their eyes roam about the room. And I ask: For the depths Of what use is language? A beast of the field moans a few times When death takes its young. And we are voiceless in the presence of realities— We cannot speak. A curious boy asks an old soldier Sitting in front of the grocery store, "How did you lose your leg?" And the old soldier is struck with silence, Or his mind flies away Because he cannot concentrate it on Gettysburg. It comes back jocosely And he says, "A bear bit it off." And the boy wonders, while the old soldier Dumbly, feebly lives over The flashes of guns, the thunder of cannon, The shrieks of the slain, And himself lying on the ground, And the hospital surgeons, the knives, And the long days in bed. But if he could describe it all He would be an artist. But if he were an artist there would he deeper wounds Which he could not describe. There is the silence of a great hatred, And the silence of a great love, And the silence of a deep peace of mind, And the silence of an embittered friendship, There is the silence of a spiritual crisis, Through which your soul, exquisitely tortured, Comes with visions not to be uttered Into a realm of higher life. And the silence of the gods who understand each other without speech, There is the silence of defeat. There is the silence of those unjustly punished; And the silence of the dying whose hand Suddenly grips yours. There is the silence between father and son, When the father cannot explain his life, Even though he be misunderstood for it. There is the silence that comes between husband and wife. There is the silence of those who have failed; And the vast silence that covers Broken nations and vanquished leaders. There is the silence of Lincoln, Thinking of the poverty of his youth. And the silence of Napoleon After Waterloo. And the silence of Jeanne d'Arc Saying amid the flames, "Blesséd Jesus"— Revealing in two words all sorrow, all hope. And there is the silence of age, Too full of wisdom for the tongue to utter it In words intelligible to those who have not lived The great range of life. And there is the silence of the dead. If we who are in life cannot speak Of profound experiences, Why do you marvel that the dead Do not tell you of death? Their silence shall be interpreted As we approach them.

On good nights, I like to send messages to space, outer or deeper though direction and dimension are lost on me. I get answers but no translations, no key or stone to this alien and spacy thought. What? You say you bet you could rephrase space in a language even I could understand? After all you passed algebra, walked around school a big shot, finding X or its equals. I should have paid attention, but mine was fixed on Linda, Lucinda, Corinna, Corinna where you been so long? I might have learned the meaning of words from long forgotten gods, frustrated issuing commandments, ok in their day, but ignored now, passé. I was absent for those god talks, apocalypse-isms, missed out on saints with half-moon halos and beatific visions. I heard only rumors of women, words like smitten, enchanted, obsessed with love like striated bark on trees, canals on Mars, rain and that sound that creeps under sod. And so I wait for an unambiguous, intelligible answer from anyone in space.

Stay In School
Mixy-Twixy Atom-Smasher Take my brain I hope it's matter Break away from all the things we said we'd be Internally False pretense On happenstance All my socks have holes Breaking molds Of wither and tither I keep your family on standby Hand-holding lullaby There was a cake on my doorstep And a front porch on my brain stem Again and again And Asian And never have I ever Played a game with this many fingers Following muffin-tops to your local coffee cart There's a joke there Breaking, breaking Silence retaking I haven't heard from you in a fortnight Mind's eye Zip-tie Bedroom follies I hope you get better As I write letter by letter And hope that you're not mad Sad, enraged, but glad Butt-mad and tired Fired the liar Who broke the back of the cat next door Heart attack on front porches Cause distress and sores On the back of the man Who did nothing but hoard For more and more and more God be with us, I do pray But Mary take my prayers away Make them better, I ask, I say And send them to who needs them most Today

Intelligible
count thy words like you count your breathes - not! the estimable statisticians can estimate the proximate number of breaths our lives will take, the inventory of words, we shall on average aggregate we breathe recklessly, never stopping to slow down the rate with which we tirelessly consume ourselves think of the mess of words, a brain store, like a breath, use it and then purposeful lose it, once employed, nevermore, so write often, even longingly, as in, write long, write hard, every word expelled, a treasure, returned to brother poets for their consumption and reutilization, the monoxide, of a shared oxide when thy stock of words in trade, almost all used up, perforce, must write only short little sweet nothings well, in happy desperation, compose alliterative allegations, nonsensical noises, aiming to pleases summation of essential humanness remain few breaths, issue rhythmic sounds, colorful grunting noises, outed one last intelligible poem that cannot ever be read

illogical deluge of adoration
What has life made of me? Where has life taken me? This body has never been mine, nor will this mind ever be. There is a terrific sadness in every time I look in the mirror and pretend to smile. Dear Adam, I have missed the spring and I am coming to you soon The eyes that flicker, the stories behind the eyelids The heart that ***** in the air Like a flightless bird that dreams to fly. Make sure you open up those heavy arms of yours Make of my thin body your prisoner Forever See me for the second time, Look at me as if it was the first time. Adam, the ground has never been mine to walk upon This Earth is selfish, she wants us all But I am weary, just like you. Everywhere I look, I find wrinkles Old objects full of dust Young people full of lust Golden hearts full of rust. Adam, I have been reeking of desolation Since the day I died Right there on grass that has never been greener Under a sun that has never shone brighter Since I died Of longing I have been reeking of desperation If it wasn't for the books you left me, If it wasn't for this letter today If it wasn't for the hope of finding you again I would have long turned into a portrait Copied off of a portrait of a portrait Of a portrait someone painted off the back of their mind Intelligible and faint. Adam, the lines on my palms are fading Drip by drip The water in me is adding up And drowning what life has left of me Poor little soul, good for nothing but the sadness Adam, I wish I was sad like you But I am not sad I am bored, Like a writer that never learned to write A painter without paints A mermaid on land I am bored like the zoo. I am coming to you soon. But I know you're not there. Goodbye summer and everything that's as clear I will miss you my dear. -- Watercolour

Nothing is Sacred
Must there be the voice of an old man To be inspired by wisdom? Must there be intelligible words To guess out the intention? Must there be vulnerability To presume the proper truth?   There ain’t a single channel   On the interface of dialogue. Must we lie only in whispers To keep hurt under the seal? Must we sigh only in earnest To show others where we bleed? Must we die only in peace To pass the torch with ease?   There ain’t a single channel   On the interface of dialogue.

Must There? (2019)
It was just like this. Being without you was just like this. Uttering that I hate you under my breath and letting it carry through the wind while my mind screams that I love you Because on a late September night, you held me like I belonged somewhere besides the cracked sidewalk under the tears of the moonlight. And in an intelligible dream, you held me like there was no other place and time and state of existence you wanted to be. Being without you was being reminded of the times I was with you when you didn't want to let go. Being without you was knowing how it felt to be a portion of a soul that was not mine and walking about the next morning with an arrow stuck in between the arteries of my bruised heart. Being without you was feeling you tell me you loved me while you hand rested on my thigh and living every night wishing we had stayed a little longer. Being without you was not being able to tell the difference between reality and a daydream because it was all real. It was all real. Being without you was being torn apart trying to explain to my heart that your hands never held it and that you never really wanted to stay for longer than needed. Being without you was hearing your voice telling me you wanted a few minutes more before you had to leave and waking up to a cold bed far too big for one. Being without you was like being haunted by phantom limbs trying to inflict their torture of making my hands feel yours intertwined with my fingers and feeling what it felt like when you lowered your walls and let me have you - or at least, a part of you. Being without you was having a constant nagging in my head telling me I should've kissed you. I should've kissed you when you were close enough, when you reached out for me and knowing that it's too late. And it was just like this. Being without you was just like this.

In violent light, shadows are sharp, crisp and clean. Heavy is the night. The salt of your skin rests uneasily on my swollen tongue as I **** you like your life depended on it. How many times have I wrenched the impossible from the ether and left you slick and aching, bereft of any intelligible thought save for the feeling of having been entirely filled and completely consumed in the same endless moment? One moment can change your universe. How long does it take to lose an arm, to come for the first time, to surrender? How long does it take to cut too deep? I can become your deity in the violent light of our sanctuary and you can take my blood while I sleep in your hair. Heavy is the night but your skin is cool and all I want is to die inside you. The salt of your sins my only meals as I burn in the furnace again. I can't take my eyes away from the edge of our shadows in this violent light. I can't take my eyes away.

He wears lots of light blue and close to gray so young I wonder where does he come by such tender knowledge with King Kong depth I fantasize; Here I am in his world and my hands are on his shoulders as he writes Stolen knowing (must be lifetimes before, how could it be otherwise?) I see the mist that circulates and falls like dust dancing round the light filling up the room we share and I take the temperature from his body as he makes love to me where inside his mind already brewing a becoming of a thousand different ways to express his heady stroke of my skin and darling wet flower Books spewed (so many) about are dog eared all the greats are here and a few I must purchase oneday He is contained and unsure just because he is young but his heart beats like a grand scale of octave notes who’s perfection between pitch sirens those who want to feel his world (like I do) Lounged and laid back, surprising shapes of figs appear In this… my own version of the best lover for me Figs, pear shaped and small and dark purple All ripe with my desire I love his smile It’s mine in this scenario the parting of his mouth is like kings table desserts endless like his words; delectable, pungent, foreboding far reaching Sometimes un-intelligible for a less than writer like me. But that’s why I wrote this, It’s still delicious to find power in flesh and word. I’ve simply fallen. Linaji 2011

The Anatomy of a Crush
I chanced upon an old letter That had clearly sailed legless on seas Crumpled, damp but inside the envelope Intelligible writing by sight But by comprehension I was lost Disorientated by sea-sick phrases Somewhere a long way from our shore a man or woman, very desperate to find their way on board a ship going in the right direction When those who could speak a second or even third language were called forward this person’s mind reached far, back to french lessons at school, every country visited and greeting noted and piped up: I speak very good French! But French speakers were common Try harder! shouted a polite man I can speak Zulu!? silence... *Pashto is very useful… Ah! my mother tongue, I dream in that language Yes I am still in touch with my mother with whom I speak, of course, in Pashto* Setting sail on the lonely sea There is nowhere to hide besides the engine room, And in there you will be used as fuel Put to good use —Well I did think once that I was being summoned to an underwater land but in fact it was a ruse, a trick to rob me of wallet

Pashto
My mind swims when I see you As I say "hi" All intelligible thought leaves my mind To only leave behind Stick figure drawings of me and you I mean that figuratively for given enough time I would paint you a masterpiece But this drawing was all I could muster for the sheer surprise Of seeing you before my eyes I try to regain myself and maintain my "suave" facade Yet I find myself looking more like an awkward giraffe I continue to jumble my words like a frustrating jigsaw puzzle Also I'm pretty sure that my last sentence was in pig-Latin I sprinkle in incorrect quotes from obscure 80's movies And you still look at me with that unfazed look A third party looking at my performance may have thought they were watching some sort of comedy routine and a poor one at that I try to close my mouth to stop this mess Yet my brain doesn't spare me such pity I continue till I am sure that I have buried any chance of ever knowing you Yet when I look up, I see a smile spread across your face

Odd Conversations
A simplistic paradox; Infinitely finite and finitely infinite. Now and Never, Once and Forever. Logical and Mythical Real and Illusion. Reality is all of these things yet is it none for these are but words which oversimplify, by definition. Reality is a state of mind. Nothing can convey the true vividness of Reality except the whole experience of Life itself. Art tries and comes close and is a sort of Temple in the Mind to the once and always infinite; the secular Divine. Inexplicable and intelligible Ineffable and described. Secular and Holy All and None. There is a pattern here of polarity as unity of duality as singularity of simplicity as complexity. Humans make of simplicity, complexity and of what's singular we divide. Of a unity, we polarize. There is a pattern here. Reality and all it's subsequent domains are both holographic and tangible. It is a paradox of obvious nature, with an obvious answer hidden by Mind. It is what it is. Live it as such.

Tao and Zen
I reckon every day is another page, another chapter to the storybook of your life. Some people have every sheet numbered in neat chronological order or categorised according to A-Z, while others are blank pages waiting to be filled, waiting for words to come. Occasionally there are stories that have been left unfinished, tragic end or dire fate, and there are those that end in the quiet melody of unsung heroes. Of all the life stories in the world, mine is fragile at the spine, paper thin and translucent. The ink is splashed across several pages, words intelligible and smudged with tears; blood stains dotting the edges. There are countless tales that lurk beneath the binding, and even more lives entwined with mine. You, for instance, pressed thorns between the pages of the book that is my life, leaving flowers wilting amongst the splotched ink words and tears in the paper. It is funny, because only when you look back do you realise that nothing would ever be the same if you didn’t exist. I am older now, the accompaniment to the author that is destiny and fate, overseeing the paths I am to take, the people I still have yet to meet, the places I will go. There is no promise of calm ahead, and with every recollection there are flashes of hurt and pain, of times when my heart was torn apart at the seams, shattered beyond recognition. Despite this I continue on, the naive hope that things will get better and that I will recover, lingers in the core of my soul; sparking a new hope down to the ends of my fingertips. And while page after page is filled with cutouts and photographs of the memories I have had, none will ever shine as bright as you. - "When you’re here it’s like the sunrise, and when you leave it’s like the sunset." (A.H.Z)

I chanced upon an old letter That had clearly sailed legless on seas Crumpled, damp but inside the envelope: Intelligible writing by sight But by comprehension I was lost Disorientated and sea-sick. Sometimes you come across an object, and in no way can you explain its origin, it’s purpose, or the frame of mind of the person who last encountered it, The letter was dry and slightly smudged but the envelope (and stamp) could not be made out at all I could not send it back If I could I would be lost for words, as it seems they were in ways: *...and I have little leaves, I love you and I miss you so much. When he finished the day in the ocean waiting for you to choose from Aserahosov read our son and apricot. My shirtsleeves damp in your memory. Our subject is expected later to the rest of the flight path of the earth ready to kiss a little faster on the planet. I broke a strong bird while I like the cakes, I break the strong current. Love my *** I strongly flow. It has been Pecan pie is to say...* My understanding of romance is minimal But to have leaves seems morbid Even more so than the breaking of the bird... Why should a bird get hurt in this gross courtship? and a strong one too, what act of love can break anything but a heart? I like the cakes, I break the strong currents Perhaps the words of someone rushing Across oceans in the name of love Slicing through the chunky waves But the cake is a bit out of place Surely no one would rush across oceans Wide and rough and restless For a cake that was simply ‘liked’ This must all be a prank... This one then— *Love my *** off I strongly flow…* Now, I hope the flowing is another Nautical reference, it would tie in nicely With the breaking of currents- I cannot comment on what precedes it There is much I cannot discuss In this disgusting letter, I wish I had not been given it. **** —If I were a seahorse, I know that just being a seahorse would be enough...

A choking and desperate voice reached my ear this morning. It was a friend. One of my best friends who lives in Michigan. What she said was barely intelligible... "Cath... Cathy... I'M D...YING! C..C..CAN'T B... (cough) B...BR... BREATHE! (cough. .. cough. .. cough. ..)" Immediately I knew I had to be calm. I had to get her anxiety level down. In a very soothing voice I stated... "Baby, you have to calm down. Sit down in front of a fan... slow your breathing. THEN I WANT YOU TO JUST LISTEN & AGREE... I said a five-minute prayer with her. I first praised God for the miracle that He was going to bring about. For His miraculous nature. For his Power and Glory! I said I wanted to glorify Him with the miraculous healing that was about to take place! Within 2 minutes she was breathing easier. She was not coughing as badly. And she could talk. Then I instructed her to go lie down with the fan on her and her back propped with pillows... I called two friends to pray with me on a conference call. We all prayed together. We prayed like our own lives were depending on it! We prayed the Word of God... "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (woman) availeth much." James 5:16 KJB I called my friend 30 minutes later. She had been healed! She still had the congestion, but was calmly coughing that up too! She was beginning to blow the congestion from her infected sinuses! So don't tell me God is no longer in the healing business. He most definitely is...!!! ♡ Catherine

Jesus Christ still performs Miracles!
