"looker" poems
She is A Queen She's something special, similar to a candy coated dream. The God in her will sooth you soul as if you were Listening To the sound of the rushing river Streams Her spirit Shines brighter than a car's high Beams. Her love is sweeter than brown sugar And Me oh my she is Looker Her big chestnut sultry eyes reveals the beauty of Her soul inside. I can just smell the aroma of her Shea butter and coconut fragranced skin as it glows due to her internal flame shinning within. Cocoa Brown is the color of her melanated Bronze complexion. Man, her smile drives me wild. That luminous smile, her glorious smile, is as gorgeous as the clouds when she shows her pearly whites. It brightens my day like a lamp in the darkness of the night. And her mind Is a secret treasure That only her King Can discover and uncover the bountiful mountains he'll climb. She's Artistic and Musically Inclined And at the drop of a dime shell bust out in A poetic rhyme And her words, Gosh her blissfully profoundly spoken words, will send chills up your spine She's My own little personal ray of sunshine Radiating truth and her words are so kind She's simply divine She's a peacemaker staying serene From the inside out she is a beautiful Human being She's good for your mental hygiene Kinda like how your body needs protein. Royalty is embedded in DNA gene And her crown is made of lustrous flowing locks shining like oil sheen. She is Royalty, She's My sister from another Mister, She is an Unshaken, Strong, melanized Beautiful Queen.

"She Is A Queen"

I've been telling my therapist about you. I've been trying to sleep, yet all that fills my head is you and her. You talking to her. A filthy wreck. I feel sorry for her. Me working into the early hours of the morning, watching a sunrise on the long drive back, me wanting to get home to you. You getting involved with her while I'm gone. You inviting her to the bar. Let me make you a drink. You could be wiping her lipstick away before I return, erasing her taste from your lips. I bet it's disgusting. I thought you hated dreadlocks. I've been going over and over in my head if this is what I'm worth. I know I'm not a looker.. My hair is messy, my clothes are ripped, I'm all marked up from the past. I thought my personality shone through that though. Sometimes though, I guess that's not enough. What hole do you need to fill? Please tell me. Please, oh please tell me why you knocked me down. Why am I not enough. I've been crying a little each day, then pulling it back together. I've been trying to still be that stone wall I always am throughout this horrible pain. I smell like cigarettes, you smell like lies. I've been telling my therapist about you.

Forgiving, Not Forgetting
By the 1960s, a disillusionment with Nationalism and war was permeating within the public consciousness. Man: jazz. Jazz! Everything sounds like jazz when you lend your hears an oscilloscope. You know what j-a-z-z sounds like? Well, it’s sweet, serendipitous or nonsensical, nihilistic. Modern in stainless steel or anachronistic in brass. Jazz! So what? Jazz sounds like anything that’s everything and vice versa. It’s a limb of that omniscient looker up and over: the tune itself. Oh, the tune? It’s what lies between your fingers when you’re writing, forging, loving, giving, perishing. You strut with the frequency of a conduit, but an unaware one at that. A change is gonna come in mere years, I know that much. Everyone will be deloused in the pain of the world; Mother Sympathy for all, even the charlatans who hide behind their crimson fur! All I’m saying is, whoever brings it ought to be from this place. I can’t fathom a recalcitrant extraterrestrial handling our own business at the expense of their planet’s water supply. I’m excited for whatever comes, believe me. So long as it ends me and with me.

Divine Interjection
Oh Ramen, Sweet as sugar You shall fill my stomach with a myriad of tastes. I am like putty because you’re my ****** Your enchanting dance at an unstoppable rate Sip, slurp, and swallow Everywhere you go I follow I can’t help but be the cooker Since you’re an amazing looker You’re the heart inside my soul seeing you every day is my goal It is my heart that you stole.

Ode to Ramen Noodles
It was early fall, the leaves were vibrant when I crawled to the bar, catch myself a weekend buzz. Fred’s drinks were pure trouble, more jet fuel than mixer. I mean you could torch your breath after just one sip. Rock blared there like a live concert, loud enough to make you a deaf mute after just one drink. The dark walls swirled, moved in & out, carnival-like, I purred-down Jack-elixirs. I first saw her shining from across the Mahogany bar. She was hidden in the shadows, a real good looker. Her amber hair was crazy, blowing everywhere like the bride of the stitched-man, electrode-neck. She might have been a ****** or a nose-candy queen, but after what the bartender gave me, it really didn’t matter, life was played hard on the edge in them days. I was enthalled with her, captivated by her lady-vibes, she was the perfect last call. We sang rock and roll songs in my 455 rocket, crawled the back roads, looped all the way to my country-place. We were on auto-pilot, dropped our guards, fell into each other’s embrace. She smelled like salty-patchouli, had a killer innocent-face, kissed me with fire, such strong desire, a beautiful-wantonness. Her eyes were so red & green, indeed she was the consummate, the prettiest, late-night dream girl. She was bathed in bright ink, the sun, the moon, the stars, vividly scrawled on her back along with a frowning-tiger. Above her privacy, I spied a smiling-gnome with outstretched arms screaming, “I Wuv You.” I obliged him, there was no fighting her ***** to the wall demeanor. We shook the planet, frolicked way past the wee hours, deep into the noon hour. When the earth-shattering stopped, I was hung over on her & the jp4. We crashed still trashed, I still don’t know how I ever got her home.

We Crashed Still Trashed (I Don’t Know How I Ever Got Her Home)

The slits of glass give way to light, Which cuts through the air and sun leeched curtains. It falls weightless on warming skin, Breathing life into stillness. A gentle caress, a sultry glance; Statuesque, they cast shadows on the wall. Shadows that illuminate and contour, Express and entrance. Longing rapture in eyes, incandescent and iridescent; Loveless yet sensuous silken skin that tells of life well lived. Your broken heart rests on shoulders, colored and vivid; A world is painted in timeless elegance. What horrors has she seen? Said the looker so enthused. What grandness has passed her eye? Says another just as true. Oh the colors so earthen tell of pleasures and sorrows, yet whisper of frailty. They speak in tongues that can never be trusted, only pondered. The intricate oil work from a badger’s fair coat, Show delicate and smooth, All the features of her roistering frame; Passions of the heart now told by passions of the brush. The life is still, but forever infinite.

Musings from an Art Gallery: The Still Life
It became patently obvious to me, that the more that I looked the less I could see and I looked a lot because time's all I've got but still couldn't see what should have been obvious, to the looker in me.

The photo reminded her of bruised fruit. Well first and foremost:fruit. Her body, curled around itself, sheltering the fibrous crunchy pit of her, her body white and frayed looking, rounded buttock, calf gently sloping, feet modest, willowy toes toenails like shale face blurred, questionable dark spots where her eyes could have been. they closed as the shudder buckled, her mouth sagged open, lip lolling to one side, brow ancient furrowed like folds of sand nudged by a lazy tide. None of it concise, only guessing. Her knees brought up, squeezed against small crunch-able chest. Full, heavy with pulp (stringy sweet, what snags on the teeth) but what if it were to fall from an appreciable height? Filmy is the flesh. Daring the looker to look closer, see what mite be hidden there. Ripe:questionable. Sweet like nothing, pouring from the corners of a mouth: what a bite it would be. That first bite. The bruising comes in when she thinks of the brain beneath, that open, limitless figure so pale and forefront and brimming with intent, so crush-able with careless fist, so lovable with thirsty mouth. But what of the mind that put her before you, that turned her vulnerable, shameless, open for discussion? Put her before you. naked.

Figure Study 3
When the chill of earth black-breasted is uplifted at the glance Of the red sun million-crested, and the forest blossoms dance With the light that stirs and lustres of the dawn, and with the bloom Of the wind’s cheek as it clusters from the hidden valley’s gloom : Then I walk in woodland spaces, musing on the solemn ways Of the immemorial places shut behind the starry rays Of the East and all its splendour, of the West and all its peace; And the stubborn lights grow tender, and the hard sounds hush and cease. In the wheel of heaven revolving, mysteries of death and birth, In the wonb of time dissolving, shape anew a heaven and earth Ever changing, ever growing, ever dwindling, ever dear, Ever worth the passion glowing to distil a doubtful tear. These are with me, these are of me, these approve me, these obey, Choose me, move me, fear me, love me, master of the night and day. These are real, these illusion : I am of them, false or frail, True or lasting, all is fusion in the spirit’s shadow-veil, Till the knowledge -Lotus flowering hides the world beneath its stem; Neither I, nor nor God life-showering, find a counterpart in them. As a spirit in a vision shows a countenance in fear, Laughs the looker to derision, only comes to disappear, Gods and mortals, mind and matter, in the glowing bud dissever : Vein from vein they rend and shatter, and are nothingness for ever. In the blessed, the enlightened, perfect eyes these visions pass, Pass and cease, poor shadows frightened, leave no stain upon the glass. One last stroke, O heart- free master, one last certain calm of will, And the maker of Disaster shall be strcken and grow still. Burn thou to the core of matter, to the spirit’s utmost flame, Consciousness and sense to shatter, ruin sight and form and name! Shatter, lake-reflected spectre; lake, rise up in mist to sun; Sun, dissolve in showers of nectar, and the Master’s work is done. Nectar perfume gently stealing, masterful and sweet and strong, Cleanse the world with light of healing in the ancient House of Wrong ! Free a million mortals on the wheel of being tossed ! Open wide the mystic portals, and be altogether lost!

Don't squander loneliness. Can be your greatest ally: be an alien, be a witness, be an outsider, an on looker, just don't squander your loneliness- your greatest ally against human trappings. In fairness, she won't keep you warm at night. Her icy whisper can make you dance. Which in turn will keep you warm.

the brother was my age, not a looker. my parents were nervous and slicked his hair back lovingly. their hands touched. I had other presents but I was thinking about the blood in my body and about Stephen. Stephen was an across the street foster I for a summer could not separate from. his nose was constantly chapped because his parents found out he had no manners at the table and would have his older sister sneak up behind him and hood him with an empty feed bag. I went in with Stephen once saying his sister had called him a ******* and his parents liked me enough that they soaped her mouth in front of me then tied a string to her seemingly always loose front tooth and then tied the escaping end of the string to the **** of an open door and slammed it. because of this honesty Stephen and I were allowed to watch a movie where a white man and a savage pressed their wrists together after cutting them. the movie looked away from the cutting so we improvised. it didn’t make us any closer. the night Stephen ran away I didn’t wake up without having to piss. it was my dad found him days within the week making boxes a mile gone at a pizza shop because he said his name was Billy and would work for free. I looked at the brother and couldn’t see it being so without my blood. but the brother pulled me to him anyway and I could feel in the heat of his elbows all the time he’d spent mourning the loss of Stephen.

"You're not confident. That's what makes you unattractive" Well ********* I tried to be But somehow confidence is not achievable with a big body Did I have "low self esteem" written on my forehead? What made you think it was okay for you to criticize me? The love I had to give was endless And it wasn't skin-deep like yours I mean, it wouldn't have lasted if it was... You weren't exactly a looker I had a big heart, but maybe big hearts only come in big bodies

He was last spotted With his gnarled hands making love to his pockets maybe bearing a child half palm half cotton Every so often he’d flail the lint from his fingernails serrated from his spleen, knot them up into steely ***** of yarn and batter the window of his sister’s room His knuckles may have suffered some trauma but it’s likely now they speak in scars with windbag bones that don’t shut up He isn’t a looker His nose is large and barbed like wire with currents that breathe in pollen he’s allergic to He got inked last March on his eighteenth shrouding his flaxen leg hairs in ****** red roses, a wide mouthed skull with an inverted cross bludgeoning its left temple, and the words “Here’s to your destiny” in all caps He has a mop of tow colored hair and narrow eyes either a robin’s egg or air force blue that I once piloted He’s a well padded five feet and nine inches But I picture him far rounder You’ll never see him well kempt he smells of minced cattle and marijuana He could dissolve you into laughter even on unlit nights when the moon goes to the cleaners and the stars swish around in the Laundromat with your knickers His grin was cloying like syrup until his teeth stuck together in a wonted pout Don’t keep your eyes peeled You won’t find his face on a milk carton This boy isn’t really missing He’s out there somewhere studying chemistry or law But he isn’t here to give me hell anymore So I picture his calf, his immutable tattoo whispering “Here’s to your destiny” and hope I still have one

She loves it when we go fishing, enjoys all of the activities, spearing & angling, gathering & netting, anything to get down on the shore. Her boy in the boat always bounces, craves more of my dangling. She's a looker, baits my hook just right, I don't fight her & it ain't no shrimp. Nooooo, no wimp here, I always use my big long pole looking for her sweet fishing-hole. When I finally get there, find the right spot, I scrape her scales from every conceivable angle to uncover her tasty pearl. I give her a whirl, shuck the shell out of her as she squeezes me hard with her tight mussel, ready to receive my roe, a splish, a splash, a huge shot of my hot cocktail sauce, curling her toes.

Cryptic quotation offer shattered self-esteem No solace for the personality flaws Not quite the proclivity for annihilation Yet, every stab at the paper breaks new teeth Curious is the looker who looks through filtered eyes Even still, there is no need to protest An awkward moment of exaggeration Or a sardonic belittling of subterfuge Coordinated to change the sided nature of self Crowned by the masses so intimately But without a shred of deeper connection And the line grows longer but no one knows why Blind are bridge jumpers who love high numbers Just like you never hear of lone sheep Is everything so tragic…

She was quite the looker, her eyes a cold blue steel. Her legs went on forever and that’s just part of her appeal. He met her in a magazine, then in a glossy print. He painted her, from Memory, on his plane and off they went. She flew with him into battle. She was his lucky charm. 17 bombing missions they came thru without harm. They flew over Hitler’s Germany way up high and cold. They faced fearful odds against the chance of growing old. Then, when the war was over and her boys went home The wings of war were mothballed; decades she spent alone. The years of wind, sun and rain faded the old girl. By the time I finally found her she was not long for this world. I looked at my Grandpa’s photo of the bomber he once flew. Despite the faded colors I was certain it was you. The owners of the junkyard looked with favor on my quest As I set out to battle the years of grime and rust. Then I set out my palette to restore each shade and hue I cannot make grandfather young but I can restore her to you Her  legs are lithe and beautiful just as I ‘d been told her eyes a cold blue steel,and her hair a platinum gold.

The Pin Up Girl
i love it so much when you see a looker and walker in the sun and wind looking straight ahead or slightly down with eyes sliding up sometimes to see again for the first time the tops of buildings always entered at the lowest runoff point sliding down sometimes to interrogate turnless stones this eye wandering distracts and more sharply attunes the looker and walker to the smile the smile that is trying to kickbox its way onto the proscenium of the eyes, mouth, and probably the hands and the whole body and to the spark that started all this kickboxing in the first place

So Much When You See
i am a tree i am an observer i do not speak i listen and listen and wait patiently for something to witness as i stand still silently i see war and **** and ****** and suicide and all brutalities, caused by human nature but i see love and joy and character and movement and all endless possibilities, caused by human nature i do not have a voice i cannot move i can only grow higher and higher closer to the sun, i can only change the colours of my leaves to aware others of new seasons i provide oxygen for all these infinite beings and i do not know how many years i will be rooted here as an insignificant on-looker

the brother was my age and not a looker. my parents were nervous about displaying him and slicked his hair back lovingly. their hands were careful and if they touched they did so without independence. I had other presents but I was thinking about the blood in my body and about Stephen. Stephen was an across the street foster I for a summer could not separate from. his nose was constantly chapped because his parents found he had no manners at the table and would have his older sister sneak up behind him and hood him with an empty feed bag.

I knew this for sure when on the night Stephen ran away I didn’t wake up without having to **** it was my dad found him days within the week making boxes a mile gone at a pizza shop because he said his name was Billy and would work for free. I looked at the brother and couldn’t see it being so without my blood. I explored shyly but with faith and was heartened when I could feel in the heat of his elbows all the time he’d been born with.

Stephen was an across the street foster I for a summer could not separate from. his nose was constantly chapped because his parents found he had no manners at the table and would have his older sister sneak up behind him and hood him with an empty feed bag. I went in with Stephen once saying his sister had called him a ******* and his parents liked me enough that they soaped her mouth in front of me then tied a string to her seemingly always loose front tooth and then tied the escaping end of the string to the **** of an open door and slammed it. because of our honesty Stephen and I were allowed to watch a movie where a white man and a savage pressed their wrists together after cutting them. the movie looked away from the cutting so we improvised. it didn’t make us any closer. I knew this for sure when on the night Stephen ran away I didn’t wake up without having to **** it was my dad found him days within the week making boxes a mile gone at a pizza shop because he said his name was Billy and would work for free. I looked at the brother and couldn’t see it being so without my blood. I explored shyly but with faith and was heartened when I could feel in the heat of his elbows all the time he’d been born with.

She had a fading tattoo on her thigh which caught my eye. Winnie asked me to help her bath Florence as she was alone and I wasn't busy. You don't mind if Benny helps me bath you do you Florence? Winnie said. Me? no make my day for a young feller to see my tattoo again first time in many years I can tell you Florence said. Used to be a dancer back in the early days danced on stage up in  London and sometimes when we toured we went all over the place. Once Winnie had helped Florence undress I saw the tattoo clearer it was in blue and pink and was of a dancer doing the can-can. Is that what you did Florence the can-can? Winnie said. Yes that and other dancing too did more than dancing too other times she laughed. I smiled. She had her grey hair long now as Winnie had unpinned the hair to wash it. Had a young feller who wanted to marry me but he got himself killed at Mons and that was that. Another one came back blinded and although I could have married him I wasn't keen on marrying a blind bloke you know what with me dancing and touring and having to help him I couldn't do it. I think he married some other girl. Florence went quiet had my chances but never did marry. Bet you were a looker when you were young Winnie said. Got a photo in my drawer when I was a dancer one of those sepia jobs faded a bit like me but you can see me as I was then. We eased Florence down in the bath. I wondered how many other men had seen her like I did but didn't ask or say. Once in the bath Winnie did her back and Florence talked on all about once upon.

Look, how darling! Angels float above her bed. Look closer though, darling? Look at all that's in her head. Look, how sweet! Her eyes shine like stars. Look closer though, sweet? Look at her invisible scars. Look, how precious! Her actions are so kind. Look closer though, precious? Look at the pain in her mind. Look, how cute, She is just so innocent. Look closer though, cute? Look at who's paid rent. Look, how adorable! Her garden always grows. Looker closer though, adorable? Look at how much she knows.

Look
Plush carpet, soft light Hotel foyer at night. Oh, what a fright! I might be a looker, don’t mean I’m a ****** Did my lipstick suggest that I might? “Madam, how you like this play”? The disgrace on my face gives me away. What did you think I was going to say? “Hey, Jack, let’s get out of this place”? (That’s three questions in four lines so for clarification of this causation my effect carries no invitation). It’s a case of mistaken identity: You didn’t sent for me, so can’t pay rent for me. Baby, I ain’t no lady… of the night. That’s not why I came here, and it’s not the same, dear. Quit with the Shakespeare! This chick has much to protest. To signal intent for your frontin’ you should wear a carnation or somethin’, be discreet, don’t hang out the bunting. So, I attract, I won’t deny fact, but your attention is bordering on hunting. It’s a case of mistaken identity: You didn’t sent for me, so can’t pay rent for me. Baby, I ain’t no lady… of the night.

Hotel Mademoiselle
I am just an onlooker what makes them think I'm involved in their drama They casted and gathered their actors started their theatricals So commence the Love Scene...Act One You...join the Club, play the leading lady If it was love, why didn't I jumped there when she moved Why did I call my sister when she visited Why did I go there with my sister the one time I visited Why the long interval before the last contact Why refuse to see the symbolic gift. I know you like pink or miss the essence of the pointed finger placed near your groin. I am not that slow, was I to hold your finger with my palm resting on that warm soft place I did not, I reached over for it avoiding any touch there. I don't do sneaky touches or sneaky anything for that matter what about those words spoken during the performance in the store " my job is done, I can leave now " I only ever wanted to reciprocate a debt of thanks I owed to a father thought maybe I could in some way to a daughter I tried in my own way to value people, be there if needed I stopped Nothing to do with respect, nothing to do with desires Nothing to do with faked angry rudeness or theatrical screams - a childish act for little minds The hurt was from seeing an 'educated' contemporary sister coming from oppression, an emancipated modern educated women who I thought would easily see the dynamics of political oppression and the insidious ways we are manipulated only to realize, even she couldn't see and is unable to break free from mental ********** or even understand the mechanics of 'mental oppression'. OR the unalienable truth that 'If one person is oppressed, we are all oppressed' a concept too complex for the simple mind Education is not intelligence, that hurts. c'est la vie write your dirges, live your delusions, fantasize your love story formulate your scenarios and talk of unrequited love heartbreak, pain, loss, pink, rainbow   or whatever silly minds un-think up. I am only an on looker, just a plain disinterested onlooker. I am not part of you!!!

I met a girl who walked the street, I have to say she really looked sweet, Tight skirt of leather and lace, Long hair framed a pretty face, Didn't take much more than a glance, To realize I wanted to get into her pants, Next time I saw her walking by, I chugged my beer and went over to say 'Hi,' She asked me if I wanted to go out, What she did for a living, there was no doubt, Just to make sure there is no misconception, I normally don't pay, this was an exception, The girl looked so fine and seemed so nice, I figured she might be worth the price, So I headed home in a mad dash, Reached into a drawer and grabbed some cash, I went back and grabbed her by the hand, Fully expecting a one night stand, The first time we rented a room, It was quick, just 'bing, bam, boom,' But we started meeting here and there, It soon becoming a regular affair, Got to a point where it was 'What the heck?' I should just sign and give her my check, But this girl could really do it all, And for her I was starting to fall, Though of her skills I never got bored, She was a bit more than I could afford, But, if she really wanted more, I was prepared to rob a store, Though she was a really great lay, I just could no longer afford to pay, So I figured if I have to pay for every lick, It might be cheaper to marry the chick, But when my friends comment 'Your wife's a looker,' I hate to admit I married a ****** 04-13-10.
