"mating" poems
To feel your mouth on top of my mouth your succulent lips pressed into my lips both of our tongues speaking in tongues feeling the weight of your body pushing down on top of my body feeling each other dissolve into each other souls mating forever hope this feeling ends; never.

Eternity
I miss the rush of your touch So much it's a must that we touch no fuss What's the rush I'll see you again Like soul mates Mating with faith our paths, will, cross Like brush against wet paint we paint the perfect picture With each stroke that we stroke the power of my solid rod Piercing the depths of your pearly gates We seal our fate.

In a playful vision sent Your ****** homologue Of amber shins and pale phalanges Weaves four-leaved clovers. In response, ***** spurs And protean winged descent To float into your kaleidoscopic star: Gliding, Freely falling, To rest in lace extremities. There in our bed of sensual feet, Sunflowers breath, Whose burnished rotating petals Gather me in wisps, Each spiral frond, Gyring Before death's voids Is drawn in purls. And in pleasures held, Cossetted in latticed limbs, A ***** lustrous rich embrace; Denuded and alive! And with abandon kissed:     Bony toes     Tendons     Deep arches     Shins     Ankles,     Sweetmeats,     Light and delicate. As here between pretty shins And fleshy silken feet Our ascent begins Rising, From low regions, To scale new night, And crown our heights. This lovers' leap into prismatic reproduction In the empty Cosmic wastes      In a web is caught! Where feet and toes inspire Continuity for pointed stars. As material possibilities collide The lust for life Is born in non-existence: So in our nest of feet, Mating in the game With heads thrown back, Of lust drink deeply we.

Kaleidoscopic Feet
‘To bed! To bed!’ Said Sleepy-head; ‘Tarry awhile,’ said Slow; ‘Put on the pan,’ Said Greedy Nan; ‘We'll sup before we go.’ (from Mother Goose) They sat at the kitchen table as The candle flickered low, And Greedy Nan put on the pan To indulge her sister, Slow, While Sleepy Weepy Annabelle Blotted her book with tears, And thought of her Beau from long ago Who she hadn’t seen for years. ‘Why doesn’t Roger notice me, Why doesn’t Alan Dell? I’m wearing the dress cut low for me And I’ve hitched my skirt as well. I’ve a pretty turn to my ankle, so You’d think it would drive them wild.’ ‘But men are a mystery,’ said Slow, ‘And Alan Dell’s a child.’ While over the pan stood Greedy Nan, Was cracking a turkey’s egg, A lump of yeast and a slice of beast And a single spider’s leg. With a wing of bat and an ounce of fat And a toe of frog for the spell, She needed to turn her sister off From her crush on Alan Dell. For Greedy Nan was the eldest girl And would have to marry first, The other two would wait in the queue Or their fortunes be reversed, The omelette sizzled, and in the pan She added before they saw, A piece of some Devil’s Trumpet plant For the mating game meant war. She sliced the omelette into half And she served them up a piece, ‘Didn’t you want?’ said Annabelle But Slow enjoyed the feast. ‘I’m not that terribly hungry now I’ve cooked it up in the pan, I think I’ll just have a slice of bread,’ Said the scheming Greedy Nan. They finished up and they sat awhile, And they mused about their fate, ‘If Greedy Nan isn’t married soon, For us it will be too late.’ ‘I’ve set my sights on a country squire,’ Said Nan, without a blink, Lured them away from her secret fire To confuse what they might think. ‘The room is woozy, spinning around, I’d better get me to bed,’ Said Annabelle, while Slow with a frown Saw Dwarves dancing in her head. But Greedy Nan was cleaning the pan To clear all signs of the spell, Her back was turned to her sisters, spurned For the sake of Alan Dell. And when he came in the morning Greedy Nan was sat by the door, While Annabelle and her sister Slow Were lying dead on the floor, ‘I didn’t mean it to **** them, Al, It was only a simple spell,’ But as he cuffed and led her away He frowned, did Alan Dell.

I am not required to love you. Let's get that straight. Neither man nor woman Is obligated to profess And show their undying love for you, Just as the sun doesn't revolve around the world, The world doesn't revolve around you. A series of acts showing your "kindness" Is not a contract for a relationship. The very fact that you have to shout How you are a "nice guy" Shows how you aren't; Kindness doesn't need reassurance. To be frank, This whole delusion Is getting a bit out of hand (see: the ****** Killer", a guy so sexually frustated He killed people for not giving him the right to get laid). Maybe, hear me out here guys, it's not because girls only look for "bad guys". Maybe we look for soulmates, Not Good Samaritans with hidden agendas. This may come off as a shock for some of you, But all-around goodness isn't equal to treating girls nicely Only because you might have a chance. So if your mating dance Consists of acting like you're an angel And simultaneously complaining About the blindness And insolence of women, It's high time you should stop. Put down the fedora while you're at it. It's become a symbol for gentlemen for you, But now it's a warning sign for us: "Beware the self-entitling guy!" Honestly, we cringe every single time. And darling, Nice guys always finish last because they whine Instead of running.

Her thoughts and I, we stay awake waiting for someone, hoping for somethings for the heart in pain needs no tending just a pinch of the divine and that silver lining. I think of the moments we gently stole from the curious eyes of tired souls our driving the distance to escape our own and finding the universe in our palms, unfold. There in the coffee shop she stares at me from the helpless tea bag in scalding water. In the bottle she would get to quench her thirst I find her asking if my need's greater than hers. The empty seat of car, in front is taken in her absence by her memories warm The gear shaft without our fingers twined is stripped bare of our naked thoughts The rains when they come, they flood my heart for a stormy noon is still parked within when the highway was lost behind a sheet of rain and in lights all turned on, our tongues were mating. Her breath is all over this gluttony of a glass half filled with wine, half consumed by need Now, the dam opens, blood rising to the lips flooding me with her thoughts she can never read...

On a mythical Mumbai weekend, of no serene start or dubious end, with imaginary beauties, invisible friends, I stepped out of a puffing train, my long unkempt hair a lion's mane, getting used to my twitching tail, Posing on the Gateway of India, the extraordinary explorer pose, took a boat to Elephanta (sans the hose), and when my shivering co-passengers had finished feverishly taking pictures and started screaming holy mothers and sisters, I took off from the starboard end, and became the first man-lion to cross the polluted Indian channel, surviving to make the news channels, my scientific name listed as a brand new mammal, my mating call recognized as a gushing gargle, On a mythical Mumbai weekend, of no serene start or dubious end, with imaginary beauties, invisible friends, I devoured deep-kissing lovers for lunch at Bandstand's low-tide on a hunch, to the delicious sound of munch! munch! even as Shah Rukh Khan watched disgusted from his big big bungalow by the sea, and as the city sharpshooters came after me,     and later when they brought me down, from Nariman Point building, like KING KONG, I tuned a dusty guitar and sang a melancholy song, on the death of adventure, love and reality, dangers of delusions, lethargy and self-pity, repression, horniness and too much TV, down in a shower of bullets when I went, sky like the coming of rain, godspeed, godsend, in a mythical city, where nothing is really meant, On a mythical Mumbai weekend, of no serene start or dubious end, with imaginary beauties, invisible friends...

After dark, energies flow in manners that pleases them most braided together in lust, two king cobras were seen spiraling up when darkness like a camouflage sets in thickly around,you're the  marijuana of my mind, seeking far horizons of pleasure. I willingly seek oblivion, when pink pointed goosebumps like tarantula's love bites, results of mating time cruelty infest all over my body's landscape, signatures of ecstasy. I feel your lips become, moist, soft, honey from each drips never enough,for me, is it possible to get inebriated more? Your sighs and moans speak the vocabulary of a forgotten ancient language love hurriedly resurrected for us from past, brevity is the crux of that lingo of erupting jets of desire, it teaches you to moan in fifty different tones in all;even more? Your sharpened nails etch cave murals on my itching back that has the searing taste of blood, in hot hot chilly red. my taste buds of lust, begs for more and more of it. You are the marijuana fueling my narcotic flights that land in your misty land, enveloping my senses as a whole. "The night is still young, hear what the darkness whispers" I hear you speak like an oracle, on things about to happen.

A tryst with ***** narcotic moments
To the girl who thinks it will be awkward because she rejected me I had an interest in you not only because I saw you as a suitable mating partner But because there are some decent ******* human beings in this world who actually want to get to know each other So just because you said no to a date with me doesn't mean you have to erase me from your life's history But getting to know someone is like opening a random box, you don't know if it will be a diamond ring or a dying rose. something that once was, but not meant to be beautiful, just like my intent to get to know you And I carry my intentions around in my pocket so I can drop them off at your door and walk away when you don't open it I'll leave them behind in case you ever want to see what's on the other side, but just like the rose if you wait too long something that once was beautiful will wither away.

To the girl who thought it would be awkward because she rejected me
Hey, met any hot chicks lately? Yeah, that peahen is looking at me, soon the others will too - not at you, buddy…Oh yeah.  Get real. Just wait till I display my train of shimmering colors and you’ll see the peahens making a beeline for me - and you’ll have to bury your head in the ground for shame like those silly ostriches do… All males have their self-esteem hurt in my presence, sure; you’re no exception – don’t feel too bad…you’re just bad… The last time I displayed my train, hey - I caused mayhem in the ancient Indian forests as the peahens went wild… that’s why they’ve placed a ban on me in the land and how I ended up in this reserve but I’m not the one to worry, yeah, brother you’d better step aside and let me show you how I call it the Kama Sutra of the Peacock  Gyrations - learn a bite or a posture and you might be able to put your gene-stamp on future generations… now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a thing or two to do with these peahens clamoring for a peck and a neck leading vigorously to do the mating dance with me

Fireflies keep me awake, deep nights unfold with countless lights, I wonder, and wonder, O' fireflies with flickering lights, have you found your knights, is the night warm enough for your lights to work the magic to catch the perfect mates? Global warming, so many hazards suppose the nights are not warm enough for the chemicals to work and fireflies did not get their lights, will that mean the death no mating and the end of fireflies? I sit awake, night grows deep staring out at the waning moon, the garden wears a girdle, a fairy girdle of winking lights, the fireflies go high and low I hope, just hope this summer is rich in romance for the fireflies to find love. Summer without them would be loveless warmth, for He and I join our sights weaving our love story watching the fireflies love each other with soft, flickering lights. Every summer a blessing, a return to paradise, fireflies and romance He and I new wings to love A toast to Life!

Night of the fireflies
*In my Garden at the night a lover wakes up to the sight Of Twinkling Stars and Dazzling Moon he sings a song and plays a tune laden with dew amidst the green grass he calls out to his beloved she's a beautiful lass he sings the mating song in a sweet gentle croon comes hopping down to him his lover so swoon A serenade of love rings through the night the music plays till the morning light*

*Quintessential charmer, libidinous crow pheasant, has an eye on him, thinly disguised mating calls disclose her keenness of intention, protruding derriere, provocative walk, her amour leaves nothing to guess, 'what you fancy is my desire' her acts yell out to him.*

let me equate my genitals to a predatory animal to illustrate my ****** prowess and mating standards in song: my vampire squid don't my vampire squid don't my vampire squid don't want none unless you got an anaconda *** my disdain for your personality and general mentality is also strong, simply because: i like *big ***** and i cannot lie you other sisters can't deny that when a boy walks in with a six pack and a hose thing in your face you get wet disembodying objectification, stereotypical representation, hedonistic utilitarianism, and *** ed with some rhyme: black boy sippin' white wine put my fist in him like a civil rights sign then he came like aaaaah!

The gardener* This is my garden; my apple tree has over-reached itself.  The branches, weighed down with fruit, threaten to break. If I had read the signs, thinned out when it was time, the crop would be less heavy, the fruit less small. And what there is, is damaged.  If it’s not birds it’s caterpillar, wasp, or earwig. It will all be rotten soon.  I don’t know why I bother.* The blackbird* This is my garden; this tree I sat in and proclaimed my own when it was full of blossom with war-cry love-call song. Then mating, nesting, bringing up the brood. The days were scarcely long enough, but that was long ago.  My children gone, there’s time now for myself, time for a treat. My yellow chisel bill breaks in the flesh of these fine apples. Delicious. This is the life.* The wasps* This is our garden – insects do not have time for individuality.  We built the colony, us lads, chewed wood to make our paper nest, and now we work to feed the grubs. “Lads”, that is, using the word loosely – for us gender is not important; that’s for the queen, and, as it may be, the ones who service her, none of our business. But we need food too, and if sustenance gives pleasure, so much the better.  When we find a fruit where blackbird’s chisel bill has broken in, we eat our way inside, till only skin and core encase our private eating/drinking den. So what if it’s fermenting?  If we get tiddly, and roll about, and buzz a drunken hum, then who’s to care?  And if they do, we’ll sting ’em*.

~~ Then, if ever, is the red color grows fade The petals of red roses drop If the birds don't sing any songs And even a butterfly doesn't Play on a purple flower If the mistake happens in the rain You 'll not cry You can't be afraid of thunder They will cleanse you And when I am gone Forgive me, but the melody in the air You will come, playing in the garden, Dance with the lost grasshoppers Any yellow day when red flamboyant will be bloomed Will have to take off your colorful sunglasses At the very noon will be floated on the Cuckoo's love song Again and Again it will prove your arrival, O' Spring You'll be the very white sky after rain Will bloom red hibiscus On that gilded day   Red flamboyant 'll be loved with yellow flamboyant Patched up with melody and words Will be made new Songs, New Poetry, With the yellow flowers tune Then again, You 'll not  sing a song of despair, Not even a song of hiatus, Will sing the Songs of Joy, Stir in the way of dreams, Mating Back to again and again I 'll come back to you Both 'll make a love   For the creation of a new life ~~

Any yellow day when Red Flamboyant will be bloomed
Saturate and brimming of my hometown Boston, of its sunshine Marathon peoples and bomb images, my heart fracture rend. On the third day—resurrection of all my sadness came to me, feeling fresh and born to fruition, so this grew. It grew and through my tears coming, I stood to witness two loving sparrows on a window branch. My sadness at some abeyance, studying and curious I was of her--all akimbo shivers and rock-in-roll, of him-- flying feathered stone, rolling from branch to branch and coming home, repeatedly. Circles flying within moving circles! Did something happen with the last jiggle of her branch? Did you see that? Science says what they were doing—they had finished. (But what to believe of science? It calls their loving--mating rather). Now to tell you—the sequencing was this: when I was full knocked down on account of my grief, and I hardly had strength to go on, a Beatles song flew in and gently pierced my heart, singing to my ear: *Why don't we do it in the road... no one will be watching us...why, why don't we do it* O, Spring Life of Sparrow surprises! Open road, that budding tree, any new notion is something grand! How do I say now? That you two were most helpful, your innocence forever abiding? Fly off Sparrows, forever prayer! I speak this with all my love.

Two Loving Sparrows (my remembering Boston)
Strange question indeed, So I asked one and all; Explain to me: “What's a plumber's ball?” Family and friends Heeded my call, But none could confine, Refine or define it, Yet Paul was sure He could design it. Still, none could satisfy My caterwaul: “What the hell is a plumber's ball?” Does it sweat the pipe Or wiggle the snake: Can it clamp the ****** For Heaven's sake? Could it snap on the cock-hole cover? All these queries Made me wonder. Has it something to do With hardness leakage, Or ******** the ball-cock To stop a seepage? Has it anything to do With a saddle valve dripping, Electric eels, Or two pipes mating? And, I heard of male and female fittings, And should I worry If I'm standing or sitting? If you're discharging the head Or elongating the pipe, Does the plumber's ball Help it snug tight? Is it in my tank, Or in my bowl, Beneath the floor Near the drainage hole? Is the plumber's ball In the back of the truck (Jeff laughed and said One could rub it for luck). I asked Michel If he could tell, He sensed it was something He could smell. I sought out Ray, Perhaps he'd know, But he was on call To restrain a back-flow. I couldn't ask Gary For his wisdom and sense, He was wigglin' the snake To unclog a wet vent. Henry, Rick, Scotty and Brian, Gave shameless answers I couldn't rely on. It's not a crapper, tail piece Or Johnnie-bolt, Or catch basin, reamer, O-ring or pipe dope. So I searched the Net With a fool's wonder, And read of ball-checks, Gas ***** and plungers. I know it's too late To ask Rolly or Ross, For both of them knew, And that's our loss. And Ernie's gone golfing So I can't ask the Boss. With final resolve I fell to my knees, To pray St. Ferrer With grace intercede. His silence left me In a state of depression; Had Ferrer washed his hands Of the plumbing profession? So nothing could settle My wherewithal, I still didn't know, What's a plumber's ball? Suddenly, it hit me, He's never wrong, The Dalai Lama of dip-tubes, I'll ask John. Where others did falter, John's a rock: He knows the difference Between a gas and ball **** With a knowing smile He embraced our Hall: Here, good friend, is your Plumbers' Ball.

What's a Plumber's Ball
Strange question indeed, So I asked one and all; Explain to me: “What's a plumber's ball?” Family and friends Heeded my call, But none could confine, Refine or define it, Yet Paul was sure He could design it. Still, none could satisfy My caterwaul: “What the hell is a plumber's ball?” Does it sweat the pipe Or wiggle the snake: Can it clamp the ****** For Heaven's sake? Could it snap on the cock-hole cover? All these queries Made me wonder. Has it something to do With hardness leakage, Or ******** the ball-cock To stop a seepage? Has it anything to do With a saddle valve dripping, Electric eels, Or two pipes mating? And, I heard of male and female fittings, And should I worry If I'm standing or sitting? If you're discharging the head Or elongating the pipe, Does the plumber's ball Help it snug tight? Is it in my tank, Or in my bowl, Beneath the floor Near the drainage hole? Is the plumber's ball In the back of the truck (Jeff laughed and said One could rub it for luck). I asked Michel If he could tell, He sensed it was something He could smell.

Similiter et omnes revereantur Diaconos, ut mandatum Jesu Christi; et Episcopum, ut Jesum Christum, existentem filium Patris; Presbyteros autem, ut concilium Dei et conjunctionem Apostolorum. Sine his Ecclesia non vocatur; de quibus suadeo vos sic habeo. S. Ignatii Ad Trallianos. And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans. The broad-backed hippopotamus Rests on his belly in the mud; Although he seems so firm to us He is merely flesh and blood. Flesh and blood is weak and frail, Susceptible to nervous shock; While the True Church can never fail For it is based upon a rock. The hippo’s feeble steps may err In compassing material ends, While the True Church need never stir To gather in its dividends. The ‘potamus can never reach The mango on the mango-tree; But fruits of pomegranate and peach Refresh the Church from over sea. At mating time the hippo’s voice Betrays inflexions hoarse and odd, But every week we hear rejoice The Church, at being one with God. The hippopotamus’s day Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts; God works in a mysterious way— The Church can sleep and feed at once. I saw the ‘potamus take wing Ascending from the damp savannas, And quiring angels round him sing The praise of God, in loud hosannas. Blood of the Lamb shall wash him clean And him shall heavenly arms enfold, Among the saints he shall be seen Performing on a harp of gold. He shall be washed as white as snow, By all the martyr’d virgins kist, While the True Church remains below Wrapt in the old miasmal mist.

The oyster. Her oyster, I've been dying to see the pearl, the moment I and she, went to swim together, our eyes, with intense emotions, half closed. I'll softly touch her with my long, trembling fingers, swiftly, when I touch, it would open like a jewel box, I'll peer inside at all the treasures, exotic it would be, never forget, through obsessive nights, I thought and kept awake, bleary eyed, I wanted to tell her this, but then, froze on my tracks. The oyster, it glows in mind, she, too pulsates with excitement, we'll be together, in this submarine adventure. In that night, our hearts didn't even wink, sauntering through the still moon lit terrace, when, one by one stars fell in place and adorned the sky's coiffure, the waves of the sea, softened moved in languid salaciousness, then, at that precise moment, we came face to face. The rough grains of sand, under our undulating bodies, sighed sweet, sang a ***** night gull's song, searing feel of salty wind mingled with blood oozing from love bruise, bites that hurt, enhanced the pleasure of frothing blood , thirsty mating tongues, twirled and twisted. *Oyster, her oyster, I remember every moment, tapering in to gentle whispers, dissolve and be the light, playing with the humming waves.*

The oyster, Her oyster
She is a succulent bunch,let me be helpful, if you don't get the complex chemical scent, I call her ,"a girl of unpredictable meeting places"inotropic, is her effect, She sends heartbeats way up. Delectable too, she was, every time I tasted certain parts of her. Her avatars are numerous, like Hindu Gods With specific intention for each incarnation Onee will be pushed in to neurosis, if doesn't completely relish her infinite variety. She is a cryptic mystic, for a while  from signals I discerned and firmly believed Or is she just a creature mysterious Doubt raises it's head, like a lotus From slushy pond My eyes met her at the level of her eyes first, the rest in a haze to me was invisible, Then my heart sends a message "Right now, I missed a beat here" Heart then recites a poem, tells me, it is all her making "Don't fall in love" heart's advice, "Go, dissolve in her completely" Even my own heart has crossed sides, or is it truly an advice for my sake? Love is a hallucinogen, get it? she whistles like wind at bamboo groves from within sings like a thrush, she is a magpie, or is she a koel? Nocturnal animal, in need of mating, making calls, frantic SMS, incessant. She is wind and water, elements that make one burn and drown She spreads her yoga mat on the floor, asks me to sit cross legged Indian style, I am already for that in my mind, So I spread eagle in corpse pose, indicating, "All through my life", mother earth gives me warmth.           Shanti,   Shanti,   shanti

Mysterious death! who in a single hour Life's gold can so refine And by thy art divine Change mortal weakness to immortal power! Bending beneath the weight of eighty years Spent with the noble strife of a victorious life We watched her fading heavenward, through our tears. But ere the sense of loss our hearts had wrung A miracle was wrought; And swift as happy thought She lived again -- brave, beautiful, and young. Age, pain, and sorrow dropped the veils they wore And showed the tender eyes Of angels in disguise, Whose discipline so patiently she bore. The past years brought their harvest rich and fair; While memory and love, Together, fondly wove A golden garland for the silver hair. How could we mourn like those who are bereft, When every pang of grief found balm for its relief In counting up the treasures she had left?-- Faith that withstood the shocks of toil and time; Hope that defied despair; Patience that conquered care; And loyalty, whose courage was sublime; The great deep heart that was a home for all-- Just, eloquent, and strong In protest against wrong; Wide charity, that knew no sin, no fall; The spartan spirit that made life so grand, Mating poor daily needs With high, heroic deeds, That wrested happiness from Fate's hard hand. We thought to weep, but sing for joy instead, Full of the grateful peace That follows her release; For nothing but the weary dust lies dead. Oh, noble woman! never more a queen Than in the laying down Of sceptre and of crown To win a greater kingdom, yet unseen; Teaching us how to seek the highest goal, To earn the true success -- To live, to love, to bless -- And make death proud to take a royal soul.
