"lurid" poems
Lurid pressure in perfect hiding, Heat rises amidst quiet timing. Covers conceal fingers, And skin conceals- Well, Only from the blinded. Flitting breath from lungs to neck, Begging tongue, And baiting breast. Tentative flesh, Upon tentative flesh, What comes next? Anything I want, If this is, Yes.

Body Language, Before and Beneath
Dusting off the rabbity that squirrely tempo anxiety, closing in with night. The irresistible pattern the irrational illogical fight a battle with one’s discipline, mirroring our might. I make it home a fluttering belly twirled and muttering, I tell myself tis alright! The damage done, and everyone, I’m just like them and millions more succumbing at the Devil’s door. And the taste, the burn, the healing calm, the shaking and the thinking gone. Knock one back, slam out another night is early, rock it brother, Tying on a swilly swirling buzzed-out brain and mind a twirling. . . “Ahhhh…” I feel better now, exhilarated, exasperation falls to stout resound; I pour again and knock it down! “Ahhhh…” Spinning now, not to say I’m spun but choosey choosing several a pun I see myself an accomplished one! Yes, that’s it, that is me, look upon with thoughts of glory yank open the freezer for glass that’s hoary. . . How cool am I? certainly not boring all night I’m here, pouring, pouring. . . Buzz subsides, thoughts slow too, lurid leering, slobbering swearing, stupid actions and nothing new? I lose the bottle, I lose my shirt, ***** on myself, pass out in dirt. Another night of drunken hero, time that’s wasted for kingly Nero. But who am I to judge myself? *I’m hardly worse than anyone else?* *

Puissant piquant and predatory And observant from afar He looks down on your slumber Like a door that's left ajar Plying with his manly vice A reckless male visage A rogue of masculine device Seeks entrance to your mind He saunters with a swagger A macho savvy moxie To personify virility's incarnate His dream zone's metier He sifts your ****** entourage In search of sprawls recumbence To tantalize climactic fervor With lambent photic scenes Grasping at your revelries He spies the wanton lust With swanky strut appealing Your primal urge to sate He leaves undone resistance With innate resilience seized The lavish wayward implications Of unrequited livid deeds Like passion's lurid lecheries An insatiable torrid sooth You wrestle with his adamance Your  carnal ecstasies revealed You pounce on his exsertion You splay your agile form wriggling like a supple nymph You accept his blatant storm You writhe in your abandon In a euphoric supplication His machismo ****** enveloping Your wildest latent needs With no regrets or reticence you awaken from this dream To find yourself alone again Like it had never been

MONKEY IN A RED FEZ DANCING TO ABBA I watch the children play on a sunny Sunday in Rotterdam like a stereotypical alien studying humans. Their cries rise and fall like seagulls as they swing sea-sawing or blurring into one on a brightly coloured turnstile. A man looking like a badly drawn cartoon turns the handle slowly  of a broken down barrel ***** A monkey in a red fez dances on the end of a chain. The barrel ***** spews out everything from Abba to Franz Lehar. The decrepit old man and even more decrepit monkey appear as if they have stepped out of another century. I am far from home. The day is dying. I read from my battered book Hamsun's HUNGER. It's lurid cover torn half hanging on/off. The park deserted now as night steals its colours. The last words of of this the final chapter are lost to me swallowed by the dark. The barrel ***** peersists the soundtrack to some forgotten film The monkey red fez fallen at its feet. The monkey blissfully asleep. The music caught entangled in branches and  leaves. I watch the yellow lights blossom one by one a silhouette of houses like a stage set. Houses like cut-out silhouettes a stage set. The last lines revealed under a passing  lamp "...where the windows shone so brightly in every home..." I laugh at such a coincidence. Leave the book on the bench for some other me to discover when the sun comes up. And return to my space ship.

Lo! Death has reared himself a throne In a strange city lying alone Far down within the dim West, Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best Have gone to their eternal rest. There shrines and palaces and towers (Time-eaten towers and tremble not!) Resemble nothing that is ours. Around, by lifting winds forgot, Resignedly beneath the sky The melancholy waters lie. No rays from the holy Heaven come down On the long night-time of that town; But light from out the lurid sea Streams up the turrets silently— Gleams up the pinnacles far and free— Up domes—up spires—up kingly halls— Up fanes—up Babylon-like walls— Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers— Up many and many a marvellous shrine Whose wreathed friezes intertwine The viol, the violet, and the vine. Resignedly beneath the sky The melancholy waters lie. So blend the turrets and shadows there That all seem pendulous in air, While from a proud tower in the town Death looks gigantically down. There open fanes and gaping graves Yawn level with the luminous waves; But not the riches there that lie In each idol’s diamond eye— Not the gaily-jewelled dead Tempt the waters from their bed; For no ripples curl, alas! Along that wilderness of glass— No swellings tell that winds may be Upon some far-off happier sea— No heavings hint that winds have been On seas less hideously serene. But lo, a stir is in the air! The wave—there is a movement there! As if the towers had ****** aside, In slightly sinking, the dull tide— As if their tops had feebly given A void within the filmy Heaven. The waves have now a redder glow— The hours are breathing faint and low— And when, amid no earthly moans, Down, down that town shall settle hence, Hell, rising from a thousand thrones, Shall do it reverence.

MA KING AME-RICA GRATE AGIN ( for Brian ) "Your mum's an alien..an... ha ha ha ha alien!" the children chant and taunt. I see through tears their sneers and hated etched upon their features like a mask they could/couldn't take off. It is like a thousand years ago all over again. The Age of the thing called Trump when humans were both orange and stupid. Now we have computers built into each whorl facts at our fingertips with just a finger snap we can call up what used to be called videos of the Trump thing teaching humans how to hate. I, unlike my sisters am not green except for a slight greenish hue every now and then. I am more the chameleon and can blend in. I have the necessary arms and the obligatory number of eyes. Only my mum and sisters look like a lurid 1950's comic "THEY CAME FROM OUTER SPACE!" yet earth would not be here if aliens( us )had  not come to save them from themselves back when earth had entered the Age of Dictators as the history apps. quaintly put it Now is come again the hateful hate ma king Ame-rica grate again like a mind grinding its teeth. I'm sorry am the English no good and the spelling as well we will have to hide behind our mind walls that we had to build to keep humans out. My mother taking me lovingly in her tentacles stroking me and drying my eyes and making tea With a snap of my fingers I bring up my favourite video and a Kermit hologram floats before my face "It's not that  easy bein' green!" and I singalong like any human being "...when green is all there is to be."

Nightmares bring forth my minds deepest worries They unleash unknown evil I want not Dark demons,  an evil creature scurries A beasts breath is on me and it burns hot As I feel myself sink into dreamland Terrors in the night wake and walk about Afraid evil will touch me with its hand I feel fear well up and I start to shout Weight of emptiness crushing me to tears A shadow of death looks down so vivid Lurid evil feeds on my minds worst fears A sharp faced demon bares teeth so livid As I slowly begin to awaken I see relieved, my life isn't taken

Nightmares
It's poisonous claws scratching up from the inside of my chest, they open a path of lurid squalor festering the internal wounds with rotting meat that spreads from within to the skin that crawls and dies, cell by cell into the empty stale air surrounding our conversation The words float from one breath to another without ever really landing to a precise spot of connection They just mimic meanings and thoughtfulness when they are void of any feelings There is no spark of life no life itself denied to us by the putrid scent we ignore the existence of No knowledge of pain or reality just a dull sense of immortality as we still like the dust suspended motion our lips without sense nor sense of self Corroding second by second by second 'til we become dust ourselves

Natura Morta
I proclaim myself independent, proud, firmly in control, What a deception. I want nothing more than to abandon every shred of independence, In place of you. I beg you to see your my feeble attempts to distance myself from you, Seize me. I know you’ll probably just end up hurting me all over again, I care not. I take such a lurid pleasure in surrendering to another, Despite the consequences. I feel shackled by my own autonomy and pride, Free me.

Seize Me
A GLEAM -- a gleam -- from Ida's height, By the Fire-god sent, it came; From watch to watch it leapt, that light, As a rider rode the flame! It shot through the startled sky, And the torch of that blazing glory Old Lemnos caught on high, On its holy promontory, And sent it on, the jocund sign, To Athos, Mount of Jove divine. Wildly the while, it rose from the isle, So that the might of the journeying Light Skimmed over the back of the gleaming brine! Farther and faster speeds it on, Till the watch that keeps Macistus steep See it burst like a blazing Sun! Doth Macistus sleep On his tower-clad steep? No! rapid and red doth the wild fire sweep; It flashes afar on the wayward stream Of the wild Euripus, the rushing beam! It rouses the light on Messapion's height, And they feed its breath with the withered heath. But it may not stay! And away -- away -- It bounds in its freshening might. Silent and soon, Like a broadened moon, It passes in sheen, Asopus green, And bursts on Cithaeron gray! The warder wakes to the Signal-rays, And it swoops from the hill with a broader blaze. On, on the fiery Glory rode; Thy lonely lake, Gorgopis, glowed! To Megara's Mount it came; They feed it again And it streams amain-- A giant beard of Flame! The headland cliffs that darkly down O'er the Saronic waters frown, Are passed with the Swift One's lurid stride, And the huge rock glares on the glaring tide. With mightier march and fiercer power It gained Arachne's neighboring tower; Thence on our Argive roof its rest it won, Of Ida's fire the long-descended Son! Bright Harbinger of glory and of joy! So first and last with equal honor crowned, In solemn feasts the race-torch circles round. -- And these my heralds! -- this my SIGN OF PEACE; Lo! while we breathe, the victor lords of Greece Stalk, in stern tumult, through the halls of Troy!

No! rapid and red doth the wild fire sweep; It flashes afar on the wayward stream Of the wild Euripus, the rushing beam! It rouses the light on Messapion's height, And they feed its breath with the withered heath. But it may not stay! And away -- away -- It bounds in its freshening might. Silent and soon, Like a broadened moon, It passes in sheen, Asopus green, And bursts on Cithaeron gray! The warder wakes to the Signal-rays, And it swoops from the hill with a broader blaze. On, on the fiery Glory rode; Thy lonely lake, Gorgopis, glowed! To Megara's Mount it came; They feed it again And it streams amain-- A giant beard of Flame! The headland cliffs that darkly down O'er the Saronic waters frown, Are passed with the Swift One's lurid stride, And the huge rock glares on the glaring tide. With mightier march and fiercer power It gained Arachne's neighboring tower; Thence on our Argive roof its rest it won, Of Ida's fire the long-descended Son! Bright Harbinger of glory and of joy! So first and last with equal honor crowned, In solemn feasts the race-torch circles round. -- And these my heralds! -- this my SIGN OF PEACE; Lo! while we breathe, the victor lords of Greece Stalk, in stern tumult, through the halls of Troy!

tirade against obesity
My eyes are drawn toward your toes as frequently as lover’s eyes do meet and tie their souls in knots. Your toes that grasp and stretch and lift you up to reach the chocolate chips you keep behind the chia seeds. Your toes that press and push and dig into dirt and earth then sheets at 3 when warm air beckons— take a nap my eyes are drawn toward your toes and glide over freckled skin that makes me scramble after memories, past parted lips and perfect cheeks to lurid pools of cerulean that find us back in bed by noon.

The dead-bolts on the interior doors Against the nephews most securely locked (One is destructive; the other explores) Ignored by their mother (usually crocked) The brother-in-law babbles about his bowels And surgeries over the festive spread Ignoring his wife’s disapproving scowls Detailing each grim therapy and med The puppies are safely penned inside Because of an incident with a crowbar And a nephew who kicked and screamed and cried - He wasn’t allowed to **** the dogs or bash the car His mother comforted him in his tears And glowered at me for telling him no And comforted herself with a few more beers Her special child is sensitive, you know The brother-in-law’s colonoscopy With lurid adjectives of graphic doom Comes with the pie and more iced tea His miseries circulate around the room Then from the living room an expensive crash “Not me!” “Not me!” More screams and denials and cries An old family vase – it’s now just trash “You shouldn’t have glass around,” their mother sighs The brother-in-law offers to show his scars He finds his shirt buttons, makes his move We other men escape outside for cigars Cigars!? The women uniformly disapprove One nephew leaps upon a garden seat And jumps and yells until it falls apart Their mother says her boy is cute and sweet “Are you all right, my dear little heart?” The brother-in-law holds his tummy and groans And tells us all about his flatulence And just which foods lead to what moans (Perhaps he should practice some abstinence) The women come outside to cough and choke With practiced puritan disapproval and sneers About the satanic scent of tobacco smoke The world’s best mother chugs a few more beers The brother-in-law explains why he can’t drink It’s about his digestion (be surprised) And we shouldn’t smoke; if only we’d think And we (got a match?) are properly chastised Then at the end of this mandatory day Of mandatory Hallmark merriment All of them finally go the (space) away And how did the mailbox get broken and bent?

The goddess mother (excerpt) ~estranged from kids ~ ~~~~~~ "The stars are blotted out,     The clouds are covering clouds, It is darkness vibrant, sonant.     In the roaring, whirling wind Are the souls of a million lunatics     Just loose from the prison-house, Wrenching trees by the roots,     Sweeping all from the path... The sea has joined the fray,     And swirls up mountain-waves, To reach the pitchy sky.     The flash of lurid light Reveals on every side     A thousand, thousand shades Of Death begrimed and black." love & motherhood apeace me. ~~~~~~~ By: Karijinbba inspired by Hindi ink Durga-Kali Shiva Lord's Wife revised 06-5-19 ~~~~

Goddess Kali Mother.
I'd been trying to write a poem Just one ******* poem But he said *Just **** around* Swallow down a bowl full of squares Let’s play games with each other’s minds Spend a night lost in a house of cards Where the joker cackles despite your begging A reminder of what I could do without Shouting at the world from the white pavilion You suckers! With your skirts hitched up and tongues hanging out Gagging on a lover’s loneliness All I see is your undergarments crying for attention With a liquor solace barely down your throat Eighteen silver blades Smile at me with their perfect teeth One to mark each year that past A nineteenth will not be necessary Ready to drag Like the man trailing his head on a string Across the surgeon’s winking knife Tapping their toes on the bathroom counter Anxious to mingle with my flesh I’ve already scrubbed in The survival rate looks dismal The cotton reel loosens and my halo slips Down - the noose around my neck He sat across the room in plaid Remarked upon the crosshatch of red That drew the crooked red grin on the white of my thigh Like loops of raspberry liquorice Seeping out sticky tears He misses handling the vegetables Who ordered cocktails in lurid colours Well, I’ve a mélange of my own A collection of prescriptions from the doctor’s office Stored in a heart shaped box To swallow down like jelly beans I’m waiting for that deadly sugar rush Death’s been dancing on my doorstep Absent minded as I sit at the dinner table Head in hand, foot in grave There’ll be no morning migraine Perhaps a little mourning in the peripheral vision Swept up from beneath the climbing frame Under a soil blanket with a tomb stone mattress Coughing up the sand in my throat That I emptied from the egg-timer Those darling quadrilateral crystals Blissful in their ignorance   Disturbing my quiet complacency Drowned in a glass of tomato juice That I poured from my skull Death holds my hand in the dark And I whisper to pass on the message Bury me with pyjama’s and a pillow

Hippocracy
Prosperity requires the fortitude to be cruelly decisive and cuttingly deceitful in every conceivable endeavor; Cruel and unrestrained ambition will lead to life in the lap of luxury; Duplicity and dishonesty lie with success and supremacy; The mixture of forceful action with lurid lies results in a beautifully tainted cocktail. Would you drink...? Do you believe...?
