"jolts" poems
Your electricity flows out of your fingertips shocking me and making me feel energy in places I didn't know it could reside. Lightning jump starts my heart and sends a current through my body, accelerating my breathing and fueling my desires. Impulses fire in my brain rewiring my thoughts and I can only compare it to crawling in to bed with the thought of Christmas morning in the middle of June. Your fingers send jolts through my nerve endings and power surges through my hair, making it stand on end. They feel like cigarette burns on bare flesh and I can't help but cringe at how much I enjoy it.

you vs. electricity
I know you’ve heard these words before I've said them many times before I wish that I could use them more To make things better like before There was a time these words had meaning Sheathed in heartfelt cries and feelings But a shaman who can't heal Is just a man and nothing more Like worn-out, old and ***** pennies Now diluted by the many There's so many, many pennies Don't care there's one on my floor My cries of “wolf” no longer heeded When these words are truly needed To the darkness they've receded Blindly searching for that door In my chest still beats a heart While pained regret tears it apart Can't fix or go back to the start And you don’t want me anymore My anger and my finger pointing Foolishly like I'm anointed Not the one you are annoyed with You were wrong; I was so sure Attentively I listened to you In-and-out my ears your words flew Silenced; Gave no value to you Truth revealed strikes at my core Awakening I newly have With gained awareness of how bad I took for granted what I had A rolling tide erodes the shore Alone I sit and think of when We were not lovers just good friends Fun times together that we’d spend And from that my heart starts to soar Reality then brings me back Jolts like a sudden heart attack A deep sharp pain gives me a whack I scream until my lungs are sore Can't fix the memories or replace My nightmares wake me; Teary-faced Past filled with guilt, shame and disgrace Start questioning what life is for

Sorry
Look in the mirror Look at the clock Look at the time It never has stopped It only goes forward It's a one way walk See how you have been growing You ask yourself, "where have the days been going?" Time can only progress Yes, the river of life is always flowing We lived cabins And castles and caves We came from Adam and eve We evolved from apes From Socrates and Homer To Napoleon and Alexander the Great The minds that desired knowing And the enlightened ones glowing People can only advance Yes the river of life is always flowing Revolutions and rebellions Riots and revolts Great discoveries A key, a kite and a lightning bolt Great writings and inventions Innovations from inspiring jolts Improvement was showing To the future the world was going Humanity only began to develop Yes the river of life is always flowing Religions and sciences Economics and politics Television and radio Monarchies and dictatorships Tanks and machine guns Atomic bombs and battle ships We went from arrow shooting and spear throwing The muskets needed reloading To nuclear weapons Yes the river of life is always flowing Exploring new lands To find the world wasn't flat To find silver and gold And buried artifacts To establish new territories And expand the map The searching ship kept rowing As civilization went on growing Accomplishments of the past Yes the river of life is always flowing Boats and rail roads Fair trade and industry World wide markets Over land and sea To keep out nations going And stablize the economy But now every country has money that they're owing And the land that they're owning Is has evolved Yes the river of life is always flowing Social reforms Counter cultures fight They protest strongly For equal civil rights The world's in constant change Every day turns into night Every opening has its closing And then it comes back again As long as there's someone hoping Yes the river of life is always flowing We put people into space We have fought for equality Created a world from nothing And advanced technology We've struggle to go to where we are And continue to go strongly The opportunities fate has been bestowing We look forward to see what is ahead The memories and mysteries the hourglass is holding Yes the river of life is always flowing

The River of Life is Always Flowing
Look in the mirror Look at the clock Look at the time It never has stopped It only goes forward It's a one way walk See how you have been growing You ask yourself, "where have the days been going?" Time can only progress Yes, the river of life is always flowing We lived cabins And castles and caves We came from Adam and eve We evolved from apes From Socrates and Homer To Napoleon and Alexander the Great The minds that desired knowing And the enlightened ones glowing People can only advance Yes the river of life is always flowing Revolutions and rebellions Riots and revolts Great discoveries A key, a kite and a lightning bolt Great writings and inventions Innovations from inspiring jolts Improvement was showing To the future the world was going Humanity only began to develop Yes the river of life is always flowing Religions and sciences Economics and politics Television and radio Monarchies and dictatorships Tanks and machine guns Atomic bombs and battle ships We went from arrow shooting and spear throwing The muskets needed reloading To nuclear weapons Yes the river of life is always flowing Exploring new lands To find the world wasn't flat To find silver and gold And buried artifacts To establish new territories And expand the map The searching ship kept rowing As civilization went on growing Accomplishments of the past Yes the river of life is always flowing Boats and rail roads Fair trade and industry World wide markets Over land and sea To keep out nations going And stablize the economy But now every country has money that they're owing And the land that they're owning Is has evolved Yes the river of life is always flowing Social reforms Counter cultures fight They protest strongly For equal civil rights The world's in constant change Every day turns into night Every opening has its closing And then it comes back again As long as there's someone hoping Yes the river of life is always flowing We put people into space We have fought for equality Created a world from nothing And advanced technology We've struggle to go to where we are And continue to go strongly The opportunities fate has been bestowing We look forward to see what is ahead The memories and mysteries the hourglass is holding Yes the river of life is always flowing

And now there would come a time a swift sharp clock on the bed Blaring its little chime in between the hard bells Like an angry little arm Charming if not for the alarm And everyday I slap the face of it Like an unwanted ***** And she is silenced Quick unlike Said chick But I am a cruel guy and have no sense of wet and dry Nor cool or heat There's nothing bothering me Time just ticks off and I laugh at it But my cells divide and turn into little old protoplasmic men And yet I am not called upon them Because they are stupidly designed and I have no sympathy for arts and crafts No masterman who failing to raise his hand Clams up With such poor artwork Slap that ***** in the dilapidated sistan Now In San Francisco Where the alley streets stink of *** And the European facades are just that Crumbling Poopy And full of **** And what yet are they dreaming to be? The church that survived fire Great conflagration God didn't make a rainbow at the end of that, Now did he? He's a water-sign Dolt And water only jolts your mind When it scatters true light, Ain't that right? But it's all the same Just different hues And the news Isn't new Just Blaring and yelling And speeding television crews Riding their stories Up and down the many stories Trying to build a city of angels On a bituminous hill Shills No life skills And I walk the city streets with a ugly old leather Brief Casing the joints and rolling my own Unhappy and alone Kerouac and the dreams on the monangular input where the triangular avenues meet And he has no road While airplanes shake their jets on the tarmac and trebuchet into the air Going god knows where Seeing a new piece of the sculpted pinball Perpetually trapped in the machine How bout Nippon Or Hangujin Or Han Chinese Or Berlin Anywhere but when A little ways along the state Of "in" All these strange things

I wonder how our great creator built a vessel strong enough to contain my soul? Each day my spirit fights against my skin with violent jolts as a young bird seeking exit from a cage. Unfettered psyche free from me bounces among clouds rolls through deserts, climbs volcanic ridges migrates with birds in flight. Curious instincts guide my vital force inside and out like honey bees scour zinnias in full bloom. Dare I release my spirit today?

Babylon Slim
My body is tossed about by violent jolts that fling my unwilling and powerless self about, a helpless prisoner within. Even without breath my chest still contorted, making the pain sting, poke, and **** with every up and down. Of course, I am afflicted with hiccups. I put my small sufferings into poetic sequence in an unconscious attempt at being rid of them. They're gone. Going through the short poem, Correcting little errors. Up Down Jolt Sting **** They're back Of course, I am afflicted with hiccups. Hiccups are *****

hic·cup ˈhikəp/ noun 1. an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm and respiratory organs, with a sudden closure of the glottis and a characteristic sound like that of a cough.
Spines curve as sweetly as drops from a honeysuckle Notes in a melody fill the void spaces Gentle rushes stir like the swish of rustling leaves Flushed as red as the cherry who’s stem is knotted Time stolen from the hands of a frozen clock- Still like snow fallen from a winter shower Senses fully awaken to chase alluring aromas   Repetitive jolts of candied sin trickle throughout the body Electric flow in the veins sparks an extended invitation Contagious appetite will mirror aches of desire Surges of shock in the body join the mind and soul Accelerating spikes in heart rate kiss private secrets Boundless longing branded to one another Yearning indulged by limitless exchanges of energy- Transfers immune from harm Pressure from oneness loosens the tremble in pleading breaths Hands close around each hip to clench their hollows Credible fingers drenched in admiration coat mingled skin One is composed by the gravitation of two Defying moonlight to surrender at an immeasurable ****** Reaching for the highest point to let go Sharing traces of untamed wind with soaring wings Collecting innocence altered by ecstasy Choosing vulnerability to expose what cannot be said Fantasies traded through the rhythm of touch

I wake your senses to remind you that you wake mine
We are frail But could be stout We are patient But could be tired We are deep But could turn shallow Rather true But pick the fraud fellow. Whoever we are Are carved from jolts Which heart embraces And grabs then stitches. But when the ***** Had too much dinge And no more yarn Left to sew the bits, This marred love Will become dust For a weeping man To succumb in scruple.

Politics in the Dark
How do you tell someone that you’re tired of existing? No one has done anything wrong, and by all normal standards this day has been quite nice, but something in me can’t handle that. Something in me can’t stand this constant standard of “surviving” Being exhausted of simply being is draining and no amount of stimulant can correct this. How do you tell someone that it takes all of you to simply wake up in the morning? To wake, to breathe. How do you tell them that it’s nothing they’ve done, but you just can’t do it anymore. How do you say **** like this? How do I think **** like this? Where could I go? France? Scotland? How far would I have to run for these hounds to stop their pursuit of me? Will they stop this chase? The answer is no. No, I don’t think they will. I think they’ll keep ******* chasing me. They’ll keep coming. They’ll keep this race no matter how run-ragged I may be. They’ll keep pace, keep biting at my ankles, keep snarling, snuffling, tearing the ground with their paws. They’ll hunt me until the end— no matter how many rivers or oceans I cross. Or maybe the river Styx will clog their all-knowing-noses….I shouldn’t have given them my scent. But they know it now. They know it and they want more. I’m living off jolts of too much caffeine right now. What way is that to live? Living, though is an overstatement. I’m not living— I’m just taking up space. Taking up space and filling up volumes with these hollow words— as if I don’t know how stale I sound. So where can I go? What do I do? What the hell do I do when I can’t even decide if I want to be Alive? What do I WANT to do? I WANT a house in the mountains. I want an herb garden planted in the shape of a sacred spiral. I want a river to bathe in, a fire place to cast into, a cat to hate and watch suspiciously, a dog to keep the hounds at bay, a kitchen to make magick and medicine in, and a bed warmed by someone else. I want cold nights and mornings warm only because there is skin against my back. I want not to be a prisoner of my own words. I want to stop dreading the day that I run out of words-- because the day I run out of words will be the day I let the hounds catch up to me. I want moonlight&moonshine.; I want sunlight and dizzy sun spots. I want trees and the sound of a roaring tuck. I want sweat and the smell of Wood. I want woods and warm skin at my back.

my father was an electrician but he never taught me how to remedy strong jolts of electricity that leave your limbs quaking, your lips shaking, your soul aching. they say a bolt of lightning can measure up to three million volts, but, then again, your touch holds more power than any storm.

*Our many voyages of desert and sea the harshness observed.. smooth cushioned water becomes raging storm.. a splitting violence this external turbulence kindles jolts of anger then fear and supplication.. finally the Question.. tumult and danger seem forceful prompts suggesting surrender to veils of indifference.. yet some find now new possibility arising to trace one's journey: jagged roaring storm stimulates and brightens fading light within.. in these extremes depths awaken heights new sisterhood appears.. in one's journey log a backward look records hidden leaps of courage and faith.. real awareness of one's precarious life String...*

The movie crackles on the screen My heart jolts as our feet bump I choke on nerves and Pepsi in the dark. Nervous hands slip in sweat As I reach out across the popcorn To finally intertwine greased fingers. The movie now a background noise Our thighs brush as we push closer I feel your goosebumps against my hair. Our bodies (your left side on my right) push And pulsate and beat against each other The background movie plays on. Two hours pass and our hands have danced Our legs have laughed and pushed And our hearts are now full. It’s not because of Spielberg Nor the popcorn and Pepsi I blame your fingers, feet, and left thigh.

Contain My Soul
It's a kiss you can sink into forgetting time unable to remember if it's day or night. Plump, full mouths lips moist, parted Tips of tongues,  teasing tasting enticing. Our mouths are busy but my body feels jolts of electricity elsewhere,  in other places and we've barely even begun!

Teasing Tongues
In moments of raging to the hospital, the jolts from the road, the squeal of the tires, and the tripping of your feet only multiply your anxiety. Delicacy is suspended amply in the air, hanging daintily on the thread of life and death. Delicacy is the soft and inconsistent beeping from the cardiac monitor. It controls your thoughts; yet is only a shadow on your radar. It shares the rhythm of the pounding in your head, and the thumping in your chest. You strain to shut everything out, leaving only the shy quiver of breathe slithering out from their lax lips. Their lips tremor under the reign of some foreign enemy, and their eyes flutter from an unseen truth. It is the suffering you wish to unburden them from, the pain you would inflict upon yourself in return for both their lives intact. Delicacy is a light fragrance, a mixture of disinfectant and sweat. Is it the scent of creating a life, or the imminent end of it? Beads of perspiration stream down your face and sting your eyes. The sweet caress of silk treads faintly underneath your fingertips. You rub the back of her hand, clammy and fragile. Rubbing the skin, you forget who the comfort is more for while footsteps pierce the stillness in the air. A figure dawned in white appears before you. Their form blurs in and out of focus, their voice a toneless muddle seeping through your cloud of stupor. Delicacy is a whisper flashing goosebumps across your skin, "We can only save one of them." It is the realization that too much pressure, and two months premature, is a cocktail dyed with poison. She looks to you with eyes of understanding and acceptance. Delicacy is the collapsing of all you know. It is the berating of incoherent words tumbling from your lips for the pure sake of escaping. You're swiftly taken from the room, kicking and screaming to the hallway. The unsettling tick of the clock mocks your every fiber. You **** the void of silence with the tapping of your foot, taming yourself from barging your way into the room. With the screaming from the bed, the instinct of protection, the stiffening of your back, the nurse quickly ushers you back in. The soft and consistent rising of the baby's chest is surrounded with the light fragrance of life. The plush fibers of the yellow blanket tug on the skin of your fingertips. The fascination apparent in your eyes, look to her while wondering how this little body will have the biggest impact on your life. Delicacy is the soft whisper flashing goosebumps across your skin, "We made it."

seven years young, always sharing a still smile. You find him decked out and drowning in choir robes, with Golden curls placed gently on a hammered head. This boy plays piano in a dead sanctuary Following familial rule, until he let it all go. the boy began playing music unwritten, off hymnal sheets Harmonious melodies stream from dancing fingertips, Intrinsically clearing the once-cloudy air with vivacious voodoo. The boy’s fingers groove up and down the piano, His touch graces ivory keys and His foot performs a rhythmic pedal-pressing tango. He calls the audience: everywhere, eyes ignite like flame: A communal headturn towards the piano. They need more. They crave it. All the sanctuary people rise from the seats, Abandon their pews, they enclose this boy. No means to scare him, they want to experience. The audience turns their ears towards the piano’s emissions,   Emanating from within Inhaling soundwaves— Intoxicatingly sweet. They absorb his notes into every pore of their skin, Fueling their bodies with musical nutrients. Electric jolts flow right into the room’s extremities. They let down their hair and begin to dance. Until a brief noise, distinctive throat-clearing, came through the speakers; Heads shifted to the podium, only to see their ticked-off pastor, Smirking and waving sarcastically. Discipline. The congregation stumbled back to their seats. The boy stopped playing. Ending the enchantment, killing the sanctuary. Air again filled with ‘God’s voice’ through the mouth of the speaker. A speaker who just wanted attention. The boy slipped out of the piano seat, out the church’s doors. You want to chase after him, give him a ride Where could the boy be going in the middle of the storm? The pastor’s prodigal son.

I can't decide if earthquakes are caused by shifting rocks Or if they are the result of the growing faultlines on my palms. If the quake I feel is from jolts of energy formed due to the earth's crusts rubbing against each other Or if the quakes are caused by the friction between my palms and my face Perhaps earthquakes have nothing to do with the fact you left dragging your suitcase behind you And perhaps it has no correlation with the rubber soles of my shoes and the cobblestone ground Maybe earthquakes are screams of, "THIS IS TOO MUCH." Maybe earthquakes are millions tremors whispering, "I can't take much more of this." I've been struggling with differentiating equations involving inner shaking and outer breakdowns But I have come to a conclusion that the probability of earthquakes existing within me is fairly close to one And that the probability of earthquakes being caused by your hurt is possibly closer to one Most days earthquakes begin from within - The place where your hands used to cradle my heart is cold And the ice is travelling from my arteries to my fingernails Other days, earthquakes stem from the screams of the masses - "You don't matter," they say, even though I am very much aware That a flick of my finger could cause the collapse of a tower worlds away I can hardly comprehend how sudden releases of pain can cause a rift in time and space And sometimes earthquakes are the seizures that could keep someone alive and **** them at the same time.

If the quake I feel is from jolts of energy formed due to the earth's crusts rubbing against each other Or if the quakes are caused by the friction between my palms and my face Perhaps earthquakes have nothing to do with the fact you left dragging your suitcase behind you And perhaps it has no correlation with the rubber soles of my shoes and the cobblestone ground Maybe earthquakes are screams of, "THIS IS TOO MUCH." Maybe earthquakes are millions tremors whispering, "I can't take much more of this." I've been struggling with differentiating equations involving inner shaking and outer breakdowns But I have come to a conclusion that the probability of earthquakes existing within me is fairly close to one And that the probability of earthquakes being caused by your hurt is possibly closer to one Most days earthquakes begin from within - The place where your hands used to cradle my heart is cold And the ice is travelling from my arteries to my fingernails Other days, earthquakes stem from the screams of the masses - "You don't matter," they say, even though I am very much aware That a flick of my finger could cause the collapse of a tower worlds away I can hardly comprehend how sudden releases of pain can cause a rift in time and space And sometimes earthquakes are the seizures that could keep someone alive and **** them at the same time.

I felt an unusual twinge in my neck as I turned toward you. Heavy breathing signaled morning sleep as my arm reached across your palpitating belly. These casual cuddles, typical of the start of our day emit a warmth unlike sunrays or furnace heat. No use to wake you or tease apart your legs for seldom do we play. That may come after morning news is devoured, bananas peeled and different morning hungers eased. Now i rise to consume small pellets of brown, pink, grey and white chemicals compounded to keep me alive. There is a stillness downstairs with greetings from a well-worn chair contoured to support my soul. Blades whirl overhead churning a breeze my face accepts upon my forehead. Now is my time of meditation, my attempt to listen to whatever god pervades this universe. There will be no answers, no jolts of insight or revelations, only small particles of peace to cover my disquiet. You will lumber down steps with effort accentuated by creaks and moans that are more pronounced each day. Our lips will touch confirming both obligation and willingness to walk beside each other. I wonder if you think there could be more? Could each gaze toward one another be longer? Could I unbutton myself enough to see or would you scold me for such an unrepressed display?

Flinty Endurance
Cooking up a blizzard. Lost and unguided tendrils of space hold me captive, the trebles of your heart beating leads me back to my my Home. That infinite gaze of yours into my dilapidated eyes, is like a portal to you to look into my soul. You blanket all my darkness With your semi-pixie cut. You’re my tree of knowledge I bask in it’s shade. Powdered Sugar coating on cupcakes. Your silk armour protects your vulnerability, My sincere apologies to all the arrows that gaped through. Cover me under your angel wings, Dab away my streaming reservoirs and replace them with pollen and sweet nectar. Your wishbone sacramental daydreams and dreams. I feel so lost without you. Bandage my old wounds with your tender hands, Kiss me with your lush lips sending jolts of star dust upstream, within my veins dancing with yours palpitating feet. My shot of euphoria and bleeding antidote. My poetry. You, Kalon. Let’s raise a toast to your beauté remarquable éternel, mon soleil your free spirit, your beauty of a ghost, your heart racing with joy, your heart steaming up with reticent sadness, build up anger that come crashing down like a typhoon detaching from the human perspecta. I miss you. Your emotional mess and literal mess, I’m your magic broom. You, my inspiration. You, my groove. You, my you. You. My everyone and everything. You’re fun filled supressed omnipresent electric feel. You, The only Solis in my galaxy. I love you. Sharing your grandoise orangy tinge yellow light. Bottling up a few star in a bottle of red wine, For her Luna. Solis is 21 a (000,000,000) today. You’re irreplacable.

The city falls away, gray, as I rise, my ladies cozy in the glass lift – to seven. Ten to four. Spot on. No need to worry. You’d think it were High Tea – be late; no break. Between five and six, the blasted thing stops! Me, stuck in a fog, with the Barrister’s waiting. Before they moved in, taking up all of seven, I stayed in the mezz., tipping my ladies to the cups. The lift jolts, jostling the ladies, rattling their tops. I move out; cups, cakes and savories in rows, like ducks. “English Breakfast, Darjeeling, Earle Gray”, I say, wishing the solicitors away, in court today. A pinched-face woman, aghast at her clocks, rushes in. I made inquiries today; for the lease of a storefront next door. Lin Cava ©

Sweets And Savories
I have a list The job is mundane, same old, same old Murderers, conceiters, haters, .... No remorse even at the last breath Today is a busy day Lots of you to claim First on my list is a thief He stole children for a living And sold them to the highest bidder Sometimes, I think the Guy upstairs is so unfair What’s wrong with taking a child And selling her so she’ll get a better life Not that I’m complaining Contrary to popular belief Hell is kind of empty Most people in their last living moments Say they’re sorry and zam! I lose! This guy is different Peter Hinckley the Child Snatcher He doesn’t know he’s walking into a trap And he’ll be shot dead by the cop hiding across the street So, here I am, Ok, Now!! “Gotcha, come with me, Peter Hinckley! Welcome to Hell! Where it’s always breakfast in bed! Not! Haha!” My next is a woman, those are rare down there Henrietta Bugglery – “Gosh, what a name!” Her one and only sin – loving herself too much Till she hated everyone else It’s not her fault, I don’t think She has it all but wisdom So how can it be her fault Well I suppose she could have been better to her children But she hated them too apparently Ahh humans, I’ll never get them, I suppose! Henrietta was ready but she didn’t expect Me! Not that I’m not pretty but I have to hide my face Seeing me sometimes jolts them back to life! “OK, Missy, let’s go!” “What do you mean let’s go? Who are you? And where are we going?” “HELLLL! Missy!!” “Who are you?” “ Darth Vader!” (and they say i don’t have a sense of humor) “You mean like from Star Wars?” “Yes, exactly that – Let’s Go!” “I’m not going anywhere with you!” “Oh come on, don’t make me zap you there. I like you all to arrive happily, after all the rest of eternity is a long time” “Get lost! I’m not coming with you!!” “Oh well, you leave me no choice! Welcome to Hell!” I lift my hand and she is stretched excruciatingly (it appears) into Hell You’d think my work is easy Actually, it’s not Sometimes, I wish we had some of your high tech equipments down there Then, I won’t have to do this myself I could have me some robots who would never mess up Or suddenly have a soft heart like in the case of .... Oh **** I’m saying too much!! *P.S. Don't worry, I'm probably not coming for you P.S.S. I lie, a lot!*
