"mouthed" poems
our love... exists. our love exists, behind closed doors, behind four walls that push up against my lungs squeezing until I suffocate. our love exists while you stand there and stare, open mouthed unable to accept the fact that you denied a delicate butterfly the right to take off that you set fire to a field of tulips that were begging for new fallen rain. you touch me with electricity, but i am used to this burn. i am used to this broken feeling; the feeling after your wings have been plucked off and every last layer of skin has been set on fire.

"Loving you was the most exquisite form of self destruction"
There are some nights when I love the taste of water, but I reach for whiskey instead. I'll lay somewhat less awake in bed until the morning when I know I'll swallow enough in the shower. It's nothing insurmountable, like the cleanliness of an infant being baptized. The congregation stares straight-mouthed until the next baby is washed and it stares blankly into the crowd and the parents are proud.

water
He tried to spit out the truth; Dry-mouthed at first, He drooled and slobbered in the end; Truth dribbling his chin.

Ultimately
I hold the feather’s weight of your artery in my pick-ups, and tiptoe the tightrope about which life and death abuts. You’re a 2 AM trauma and we still don’t know your name, the social worker’s thin lips had mouthed: “estranged.” I read your anatomy like a text as you flat-line: your hands turn blue as your heart falls still in mine. The monitor hums "out of time," but by Epinephrine, and Grace, your chest resumes its rise. I leave trauma bay in prayer: for the surviving, not the knife; for the closeness of my hands in your chest, our joining in this life. Tonight I see you at the Kroger, buying TV dinners and beer. I hide behind cereal, admiring the life I’d held dear. But you look so tired, and my heart breaks for how when you died, I would’ve sold the shoes off my feet to buy you more time. I wish you knew how precious was each of your heartbeats, I wish you the wisdom of my view: How fragile the stent is where your veins meet.

A brief history of surgery
nearer:breath of my breath:take not they tingling limbs from me:make my pain their crazy meal letting they tigers of smooth sweetness steal slowly in dumb blossoms of new mingling: deeper:blood of my blood:with upwardcringing swiftness plunge these leopards of white ream this pith of darkness:carve an evilfringing flower of madness on gritted lips and on sprawled eyes squirming with light insane chisel the killing flame that dizzily grips. Querying greys between mouthed houses curl thirstily. Dead stars stink. dawn. Inane, the poetic carcass of a girl

Nearer:Breath Of My Breath:Take Not They Tingling
Hi, below I copy a humorous hiabun, which I shared as an exercise to mentor enquiring and inspired poets to learn, so they might adopt and try different techniques and then give critique together with awesome comments... Yes, I used the words *** ****** and **** for context the rest was left to an individual imagination as in good poetry! It included reflective commentary encompasses innocent classification terminology used in the critique, reading, examining, appreciating, understanding and writing of poetry for example: POETIC DEVICES (enjambement, duality, keriji, images, collocation, semantic, oxymoron, repetition, listing etc.), STORY (personification, characterisation, subject, context, voice etc.), IMAGERY (synaesthesia), STRUCTURE ( lineation, breaks, syntactic etc.), SOUNDS (syllables, rhyme, alliteration, pace, musicality, phrasing, beat, assonance, onomatopoeia, mouthed rhythms, patterned) and WORDS (preposition, determiner, verbs, adverbs, lexical, nouns, adjectives) used by poets, critics and academics... And here it is : **** tongue-in-cheek haibun - a reflective commentary on writing a popular tanka Eye lashes flicker a shared urgent interest parting - dancing smile My first inspiration was *** passionate life squeezing screaming *** the thumping wall musicality of *** exhaustingly inventive sweaty and wet. I wanted to make it a senryu but for duality the female characterisation demanded two more lines each extending to seven syllables.   Arousing images captured her moaning splashing loneliness in unusual collocation. I was first excited by the placement of a hovering extended enjambement to give life to my final line, whilst also considering the satisfaction in using noisy mouthed rhythms.   I believe I easily hid the wet aroused context with a watery semantic field, that suggested she would choke and drown. So in my last line I had ‘pleasures’ as a cutting keriji to make clear the dominating ****** context, having previously used a preposition and determiner to maintain duality! Exhausted shivers in windowed naked currents unfolding sinking then surfing vital wavelets drowning screams - pleasures wet bite **

If there are infinite worlds, there must be one where umbrellas never close- hinges locked open like stubborn jaws, gape-mouthed against walls in patient herds. No one in their twenties owns one, their hamster-cage apartments too small for such luxuries. They ask for rain jackets on birthdays. Mary Poppins still drifts down Cherry Tree Lane, her umbrella never folding, only floating. Children carry slips home for violating umbrella laws, forging signatures in loopy ink. The Morton Salt girl wears a slicker, yellow as a warning flare before the flood. My mother walking me to kindergarten in rain, transparent vinyl dome above our heads- I, the opposite of a fish in its tank. Her hair plastered to her forehead by the time we reached the door. Everyone looks most beautiful with rainwater running down their face. In the open-umbrella reality, time can walk backward- you can unwater a plant, unpeel a clementine, un-kiss someone. Endings lift again, fabric billowing, as if the story had been left open in the wind. Heather and Mike find the road out. Rosemary tips the bassinet. There, perhaps, neither of us was born. What lay between us stays open too long, collecting rain until it sags, slow and certain, like sugar in the first storm.

The Open-Umbrella Reality
Vermillion lips smile knowingly across the room, so at ease it's almost angelic to see. He grips his wine glass to almost breaking point, what the **** is she doing here? More to the point ,How is she here? Relationships are like cats, let them out, and well they'd better be neutered. That's what gramma said! Slowly, sensually almost, she sashayed over to him, she could see his tension, but not his fear.........yet. Face to face they smile, but her smile never reaches her eyes, he stammers, drops his glass, 'Here, she says you need air' Outside, he's composed 'No one knows, no one knows' he keeps repeating Who are you talking to darling? She whispers Not me,I'm dead, you shot me, I was there, then kicks him hard Vulnerable alone with his red mouthed wife he screams. Guests rush out, to their host babbling, Incoherent, confessing to ****** screaming over and over, blue lights in the distance Closer and closer, guests now witnesses. Host now completely within the pain of a mental Eternal mind slip. She, moves closer to him, soothes him, sirens closer, reassures him as he screams,that yes his wife is dead appeased he looks up in bewilderment. Oh, me, oh darling brother in law did you forget? Jo's twin, the one au-pairing abroad when you married Pleased to meet you

Sealed with Lips
That week was so hot, every shotgun house gasped, windows flung, screen doors striking wooden frames, the squawk of rusty springs. Touching skin felt like punishment at first, then penance, then prayer. We were thin, androgynous, switching cut-off jeans, sharing tank tops, slick with sweat and shaved ice. Strays ourselves, barefoot thieves, pirates of the quarter. Hibiscus syrup stained our mouths outside the Prytania, where The Abyss flickered and you cried like a boy pretending he didn’t. Inside your walk-up, we dipped into quiet love like bread in stew. The radio’s crackle carried The Ink Spots, which I recognized but couldn’t name. You mouthed every note like a secret you wanted me to guess. Faint smiling lines near your eyes from knowing, like you’d seen me long before we met. Not woman, not man, just two bodies leaning toward the same heat. I wouldn't see your fall or your winter. When the seasons change, I’ll be gone, back home, watching rain from a train window, each drop undoing what we were. That last night, you placed your key by the door. I saw it, watched it glint, and said nothing. The snails were climbing. The air was too sweet. You slept through goodbye. I left the key where it lay.

New Orleans, Late Century
She hates that she is a woman The putrefying weakness perceived in the curves of her body The naivete shown in her blues With the unintentional flutter of butterfly lashes That refuse to meet the glances of those that pass by The fear-- Of what? That stereotypes are true? She doesn't even know And it sickens her. She sickens herself. She hates that she is white The blandest vanilla The marble statue Somehow revered Worshiped Privileged But simultaneously overlooked Boring Unimportant The Caucasian mongrel In light of the fact that her People Have no proud history Which she can name herself heir to She hates that she is middle class Not poor enough to struggle Not rich enough to be free Just situated dully in the middle A footnote in the statistic That they tell her she must use To identify herself She hates that her belief system Has to be called by a name That she has to choose To be a part of a group As part of her "identity" And she is not allowed To stand by her own integrity She hates that she is American The pudgy, loud-mouthed, laterally-speaking nation The brashly jumps into conflict Guns blazing As its political system decays In the stench of its overwhelming debt and corruption But in truth She hates That they force her To whittle her essence down Into Gender, Race, Class, Religion, and Nationality A vomit-inducing statistic As if there was nothing more to her Than the facts surrounding her existence

bad wand discipline
[Dedicated to George Raffalovich] In the Years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth, Man mastered the mammoth and horse, and Man was the Lord of the Earth. He made him an hollow skin from the heart of an holy tree, He compassed the earth therein, and Man was the Lord of the Sea. He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the light- ning for hire; He drove the celestial team, and man was the Lord of the Fire. Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated, the choirs of the æeons declare The last of the demons defeated, for Man is the Lord of the Air. Arise, O Man, in thy strength! the kingdom is thine to inherit, Till the high gods witness at length that Man is the Lord of his spirit.

The Pentagram
The progression of Huntington's disease often leads to the need of a wheelchair. My husband resisted using a wheelchair for many years, even though his poor balance and tiredness meant he was prone to falls. I didn't exactly pressurise him into using one. To be honest it was not just because it was another sign of loss of independence, but it would have been harder for me too in many respects. What I wasn't prepared for, when the time came, was the social stigma attached to wheelchair users insofar as becoming a kind of non-entity! In a weekly blog I wrote in 2008 I wrote about the first time I took my husband out in a wheelchair. It angered me how peoples’ attitudes seemed to change overnight. Walking down the High Street, Hand in hand like lovers, The couple blend into the crowd, No different from the others. As the years go by though, His body having changed, Has sadly meant a wheelchair, Has had to be arranged. Strolling down same High Street, The woman now behind, Her lover needing pushing, Steep pavements so unkind. Entering the bar now, With awkward navigation; People jump to open door, Aware of situation. “Thank you” says the man in chair, When wheeled into the place; “Welcome” say the helpers there, But all avoid his face. Carer gets the “Welcome” mouthed, No looks with him they share; Let’s treat this fellow human being, As if he wasn't there.

The Wheelchair Outing
The immense striking letters of the gazette’s front page make me almost cross-eyed My mind is going to explode in the images I have seen in the television Boom! When will the politicians be weary in stealing the wealth of the country? Millions of pesos were caught in the centre of the golden sea Can we only find it from other countries? Is that the main reason why Filipinos are migrating: to find source of much bigger income? I am thinking about them together with their bosses with heavy iron hands I believe crime rate is escalating... ...the crime that can grab you 24 hours a day Can we still smell the tainted odor of pictures of the street children... children who beg for a piece of bread? Mr. President, where is the promised straight road you are pointing at? Why can’t we see it? Is it crooked? Why is it that these are the ONLY stuffing of rumors? Why can’t we focus onto a bigger and wider problem of our country and even around the world? Perhaps above all issues, this is the only concern that is not yet trending in Twitter So, I just boasted it to my open-mouthed puppy... “If I will be the President of the Philippines, I will focus first on ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.” Suddenly, Bruno’s saliva dripped.

If I will be the President...
I heard you blister You swarmed as the daylight broke Cross distant lands, tattered Tumultuous, flayed Burrowing deep into rot You’ve beaten the broken You’ve flayed the dead silence Into a gutter-mouthed cry Of humanities darkest Raging a storm So long You’ve swallowed hell and heaven whole Nothing is left anymore When you spit out the darkness You bare your soul And I can see Hate has swallowed you whole

filter cruelty
I’m falling in love again, And I had told myself never again, But I let myself slip again, Her oak brown eyes make it impossible to refrain, And I’m falling in love again. I’m falling in love again, But it’s early again, And I’m scared again, Of sadness that I may regain If I choose the wrong girl again. I’m falling in love again, I’m smiling and happy again, She makes me feel human again, No longer tortured by starving pains, I’m starting to eat again. But I’m falling in love again, Because I think she’s the one again, And this time I think I’m right, And I know she thinks I might Be the one she’s been waiting for, Early days still, but I’m starting to adore The open mouthed smile she gives me Every time she lays her eyes on me. Alone at night, thoughts of her drive me insane. Im falling in love again.

Dear Hot Straight Actresses, Stop playing perfect lesbian characters on TV that cause me to become wet on lonely Thursday nights. It’s the equivalent of waving double chocolate fudge cake in front of a menstruating woman who has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. To name a few, Jennifer Beals as Bette Porter on The L Word. Stop it! Naya Rivera as the sassy Santana Lopez on Glee. Stop it! Angie Harmon as butch goddess Detective Jane Rizzoli on Rizzoli & Isles. You may be in the closet but you are gay and stop! And Sara Ramirez and Jessica Capshaw as the married ****** Dr. Cali Torrez and Dr. Arizona Robbins of Grey’s Anatomy. You…you keep going. You two give me hope. Hope that someday my insanely high expectations will be met when my hot art collecting, sassy mouthed Doctor with handcuffs in her back pocket jumps from the screen and onto my sweatpants covered lap. In this crazy assumption that I’ll end up falling out of an apple tree letting gravity push me into the arms of a woman who fixes my broken sense of reality with a amazing great hair and a wedding proposal. Missing out on the Hot barista who gives me an extra large when I ask for a small or the Budding **** artist who invites me to her galleries only to realize her muse has oddly the same hips as me. or the Best friend who is still stuck in the shadows of my closet. Nope…didn’t see any of those. I’m too busy watching the **** tube to see what low cut tops they can get away with before they leave the set and back to their husband and 2.5 kids. All I’m asking is… …when is it coming out on DVD?

“Never trust a ginger” she sings giggling looking at the red head next to me. Her song is a pretty good representation of our friendship. Throw in a ***** bump and some dorky dance moves oh yea that’s the definition of our friendship. Laughing and dying at things no one else gets actions no one else see’s and mouthed words no one else understands. That’s just a little inside view of our “love”. “Never kiss a ginger” It’s a little late for that don’t ya think blackberry tea and coffee making her laugh till she dies. Hysterics that break her down till she’s on the floor rolling rolling down a hill and being so dizzy she can’t get up. Oh but she’s a monster that chases you around trying to tackle you to the ground. Falling off the playground rail and hitting her head just like in our story so she lays there laughing hysterically. All I can do is shake my head “Never kiss a ginger…twice” yea that’s a little better. he won’t be telling my slightly stunned, amazed face its cute again. The face we later joked about mouth dropped to the floor eyes wide. Like did that seriously just happen. Our dumb and quirky reactions to everything exaggerated, excited yeses and happy little dances. "Never date a ginger” I’m not nor have I ever… where do you get these thoughts that run through your head? Ok I can’t say much my mind wanders to the strangest places and leads us to the greatest conversations. Like cops on bikes with prisoners in baskets leading to Mortal Instruments characters all riding one bike. I’ve no idea where our minds get these strange ideas and imaginings. “Never love a ginger” I never said I love him don’t let your mind wander dangerous things happen when our minds wander anywhere from dinosaurs ruling the world to death and the things in between are sometimes worse to think about “Never like a ginger” OI! with this again I don’t I promise there’s nothing there now please shut up. Yes, yes I love you now please don’t attack my legs again I really don’t feel like falling on the floor it’s not very appealing. Uh-oh

I have left, pig-mudding drunk, having sipped from stock to stock on fraying cheer, stages. I have stood in foreign basements; sweaty cellars of youth; begot by attitude breeding spaces of the hip; drawn circles searching for love in recreating nonsense: a silly pupil, moon-eyed, out of breathe. I have heard them quack, reveal their cords; heard them whisper a thousand and one secrets, heard them deconstruct their circumstances as pilgrims, penniless and sick. I have their memories now, an image of a depressed, ass-imprinted pillow soaked in liquor and a feeling of nausea where ribs sleep on this couch tonight, every night. I have heard one refute the weight of living, ****** on the banks of his best friends hospitality, and thought How much is it worth? And I have envied every **** greasy pored hipster, the ones fixing on makingitnew now kind of clan; stared blankly at fashion, a culture back door where pink fish scales sparkle high from runway halters to the tops of grown men, bearded and chesty. And your mothers pearls sit, not your mother’s pearls but your mother’s, mother’s pearls, that old world clout ornamented around those hairy ******* Oh yes, I have seen men become peacocks, charmed animals of ********** seen them teeth at discourse in the noise they create, wide-mouthed and pointed; I have seen them masked like frantic felines: wooly bully cats trying-to-roll their own meter, their tobacco stained black charcoal over soft bricked lips quiver to their beats: those painted lemmingings, without a parachute: kamikaze felons. I have desired absolute sterility: white china, in the egg of a toilet bowl I spewed out, shut-up my exuberance for the night; sorry-pleaded my resolutions to gag out the naughty nouns in my life. I have quit; turned in my lust for performing the lioness, paw-licking, snarly creature: the predator of my youth, and now, I am pretty-headed, tamed in bath oils and schedules; a spotted fox, in plain view, one medium-sized mammal getting by.

And your mothers pearls sit, not your mother’s pearls but your mother’s, mother’s pearls, that old world clout ornamented around those hairy ******* Oh yes, I have seen men become peacocks, charmed animals of ********** seen them teeth at discourse in the noise they create, wide-mouthed and pointed; I have seen them masked like frantic felines: wooly bully cats trying-to-roll their own meter, their tobacco stained black charcoal over soft bricked lips quiver to their beats: those painted lemmingings, without a parachute: kamikaze felons. I have desired absolute sterility: white china, in the egg of a toilet bowl I spewed out, shut-up my exuberance for the night; sorry-pleaded my resolutions to gag out the naughty nouns in my life. I have quit; turned in my lust for performing the lioness, paw-licking, snarly creature: the predator of my youth, and now, I am pretty-headed, tamed in bath oils and schedules; a spotted fox, in plain view, one medium-sized mammal getting by.

He motioned for her to take her place on the back. He braced himself steady as she slid herself onto the rack. Once she had settled, he handed her his gunny sack, He told her keep it safe as he tackled the offbeaten track. The night was quiet, save for the crickets chirping in unison Hiding behind the clouds, the moon gave out a dim ominous glow. The tapper finally felt a tiny sliver of trepidation He wasn't sure of the outcome, that night would eventually show. The whole time, he was thinking in his busy little head... He tried to devise ways to thwart this playful, mischievous being. But those thoughts of his were quickly derailed instead. For her perfumed presence was very much intoxicating. Soon they had arrived at the foot of the hill He hastened his pedalling to meet the uphill slope. He would have continued slamming on the pedals until... He felt her hand on his shoulder clench into a tight ***** He tilted his head back towards his beautiful passenger. In a calm manner he mouthed the words asking, "What's the matter?" Her voice came right after in a nervous stammer, "Would you mind slowing down because last night this was where I had fallen over..."

Moment of Truth (VI)
tell it to the lighthouse boy the sleepy-eyed resounding boy, tell it to the lighthouse boy, who wakes his days away. sing it to the lighthouse boy the bright-mouthed smiling ******** boy, sing it to the lighthouse boy, solemn, sweet, and still. cry it to the lighthouse boy, the hold you close and call-out boy, cry it to the lighthouse boy, who thinks his thoughts alone. fling it to the lighthouse boy, the bending low and catch it boy, fling it to the lighthouse boy, to carry on his own. and oh, did you ever see eyes so sad? blue-green as the foaming sea they watch, stiller than still and deeper than you can imagine, gazing to your depths and speaking nothing of them. so tell it to the lighthouse boy, the sleepy-eyed resounding boy. tell it to the lighthouse boy, who casts it out to sea.

the lighthouse boy
~ *Lost inside a labyrinth Tight-lipped tinkerer open-mouthed cynosure Pressing matters completing their circuit all things said, but not spoken Osculated locution, succinct phrasing released, but not heard The human element imparting seminal spark —together felt and touched A tingling syntax owing to its art becoming its nucleus* ~

A Kiss is a Conversation
The momment I realized facebook was a pokedex for people Was the moment I realized I don't want to catch them all. Some pokemon aren't worth the trouble. Let alone making it double. Abra for instance, I understand you like spooning but if you're going to teleport every time I throw the Pokeball, maybe it's best you stay in the cave. cubone: Did you ever think maybe, wearing the skull of your dead mother for protection might mean you have some serious family baggage? Pidgey: I shouldn't have to keep buying repels to keep you away. If I stroll through the tall grass You appear every five minutes Without realizing I AM IGNORING YOU. Perhaps you should wait until I throw another ball. I'm trying to catch different pokemon right now Who fit my team better Have the Nature I want. You had your chance to be in my party When I fed you that Razz berry threw the first ball. Caught you. then you Evolved into this big mouthed Golbat About to swallow me whole. Trainers. Stop spending time on toxic pokemon Poisen types, koffing and wheezing. Psychic types that play you puppet. Don't throw the ball to them Let their grass rustle. Walk on by I'm transfering mine in for candies Catching Shinies legendaries whom there are only one of in this world. I stopped trying to catch them all. I'm searching the high ground taking time to look at their move set Running around town with them. We'll EV train each other, Get every badge together. BEAT THE ELITE FOUR Get knocked down Go to the pokecenter Do, do, dodo DO! Get right back up, together. Because it's not about catching them all. It's about healing the ones that you have.
