"oscillating" poems
Life is an open book. Time is an oscillating fan. I've had to learn to skim-read because before I can read more than a few paragraphs, that ******* airhead comes circling back, blowing pages like a medieval ********** The cool air feels nice, though. Sometimes, when my head aches, I let my eyes relax and I enjoy the breeze as the words blur.

Time Blows
# Each body part sizzled in pure pleasure in the blissed wake of your oral efforts brought forth the waves of rapturous delight...                                        Spurs poetic inspiration                                         in equal liberation                                         of desires to please.                                         Bodies transpose                                         in fluid motion                                         as brazen eyes meet.         Savor the voluptuous image before you.         Indulge your eyes in my carnal halo         before they roll to the back of your head. On all fours knees between your thighs tips of swollen breast caress your chest tasting fresh honey upon lips in a kiss.                                         Ripples of ardor                                          hover                                          by wet trails                                          of sensual kisses                                          suckling towards                                          the apex. Breathe in the slow motion pace that pulsates eagerness to the fore tumescing bulge leaking with anticipation of viscous lava.         Tickles of silken hair         against flesh edges closer. Emerging subtle grumbles in deep resonance betray your impatience . Hands tightly twine in tangled hair to maneuver the treasure hunt.                                          Licked lips pause                                          at the sight of fire                                          burning in                                          glazed gazes                                          before engulfing                                          the throbbing member. Plump ruby lips greet velvety texture in a slow deep dive. Tongue curls around the flavor in a dulcet embrace.                                          Moans release                                          as grip tightens                                          in my hair                                          settles the                                          rhythmic pace                                          to taste in an                                          oscillating dance.         The masculine aroma of heady musk         lingering there, arouses my appetite. With my enthusiasm attuned to your preferred rhythm suckling, slurping surface and dive in measured unison.                                           Break of breath                                           allows tongue                                           freedom to roam below,                                           licking, soft kissing                                           the tender hammock                                           of testicles.         Tongue and lips escalate higher         to mount another assaulting dive         deeper in the depths         of the cusp in cavity. Wetted fingers probe even lower circling superficially as gasp escapes your heavy breath; flaming eyes lock.                                           Finger dips in                                           with expert finesse                                           gorging hardened growth                                           within a wrapped hand. Thighs tighten with rocking grip. Head thrusts onward, drilling forward in each dive.         Salvia slips         fingers grip         lips dip Engorged swell, flesh tightens in an intensity of volcanic eruption ...         HALTS         assault Pace retracts. Loosened lips kiss tip. *“Soon sweetheart, your time will *** inside me as we surrender to synergy."* #

After years of aimless wanderings Leaving behind the cities of midnight revels And the fevered journey in metro rails, I am back at the land of my people. Wherever I went, Under which ever roof I slept, I had carried my land, As a jewel in a casket And ensured it rested safe Ever under my pillow As I moved with aliens Unable to merge with their cultural mores, I saw my land glimmer in darkness Like a dew drop on a moon blanched leaf When I sweated in the blistering sands A patch of green landscape, like an oasis Wafted me in a cool embrace Then dreams poured in like star light And I wandered in the meadows of my youthful love My heart struggling to forget old longings And memories lashing upon me like tidal waves Pursued by that inalienable shadow Suddenly being born in flesh and blood I hastened to the streets of my youth With hopes galore and plans vivid But alas! There is none to recognize me Oh! I am a stranger here An unwelcome stranger among total strangers Now I wonder which is truly my land? The one left behind or the one just landed in? Oscillating between these two worlds, My fractured identity looms large With worms of memories wriggling in my flesh And a myth suddenly dying in my brain

It's dark. Sounds like a rainstorm and smells like fragrant fire. But the earth underground is thirstier than what sulfur and dead things and various excrements can quench. And the scent may be a brain tumor, or even better some drug-induced hallucination; either way it feels amazing. I'd just love to slap these stupid feelings in their pretty faces, I bet that'd also feel pretty amazing. a million oscillating fans and still so much heat. divine metallic miasma . Is there something pathological about how I like to see the hurt & desperation & the shock that I cause? Cuz I've been told this type of behavior is 'odd.' ...I don't see it. I mean, I do feel remorse out of narcissism & for my own wants & gains. It's just a ***** ***** game. Everyone plays one or the other.

I want to be your abacus baby,Oh you can count on me. I wont say that i love you, or i heart you, I less than 3 you. Your molecules must be moving fast,girl. Cause your really hot. Are you igneous sedimentary or metamorphic? All i know is baby you rock. And if god existed I'd thank him for you, but I'm rational and read a lot of Sam Harris. Your beautiful like the font garamad,but i want to see you sandarac, take your pants off. I want to be your abacus baby, you can count on me, And i observe your quirks oscillating, and I'm formulating, a g-string theory.. Like an archeologist,I'm gonna try and compute your age. cause i really want to date you. You make me feel like a male giraffe. I want to nudge your **** and make you urinate,and mate you. Scientific fact,thats what they do. The value of my love for you cannot be expressed exactly. More rational then Pi. Hey **** is a legitimate word in scrabble, just FYI I want to be your abacus baby, you can count on me. You can **** me into your super massive black hole, the center of your galaxy. Im talkin ****** I may not be the strongest or the prettiest, but my knowledge of grammar shines. I know how to use the words  further and farther..correctly. Every fricken time. Example:farther indicates physical distance and further a depth or degree example: the moon is getting farther from the earth about 4 centimeters annually. Fun factoid,take it home with ya. You just keep getting further into my heart. You just keep getting farther into my heart. I want to be your abacus baby, you can count on me,and if the situation is ambiguous, further and farther can be used interchangeably. Just a fun factoid. I want to be your abacus baby, you can count on me. Baby i less than 3 you. So please take off your pants.

Grayness swells and burns as ice Coldness fills hollow creeks My mindless ghost of a shell But drifts ever so quietly Ghostly shells as mine Follow the current Follow the breeze Too weak to fight To swim upstream Now I am told the sun returns But will it return without help? Without artificial dawn? Will this dusk be everlasting? Never reaching devil's hour And never returning to shiny morning My ghost ever mourning A loss of some unfamiliar friend Sick for a home that has never existed I forever dwell on my oscillating waking

Ghostly shells
i peeked into your secret i unbottuned your sensitivity with your own sarcasm you blew my vietnam my heart is a touchy speaker cable and you sparked me up now i am empty beer bottles oscillating in your hand and then you set me down i am your nostalgia and you can only think of bad things like bruised knees and gout and that summer you had walking pneumonia and syphilis and you cried every night into your mother's arms i am the cancer you faked in order to gain attention i am that boy that fell for it and gave you syphilis i am your shaved head on picture day in the 9th grade i am your solitude i am your noise i am your virginity being taken in the backseat of your brother's best friend's parent's camaro when you were 15 and more than willing

I will take this. I have to. Even if it breaks me. Even if it breaks me into a million pieces that nobody can put together again. And it has. It has broken me into so many fragmented pieces; I’m now what they refer to as “damaged goods” Something so traumatic, I’ll never be normal again. Normal is a thing of the past. This is what’s happening now. Broken pieces. Everywhere. Every time I fix a piece, another breaks. I feel like I’m holding myself together with tape and glue and it’s not going to be enough. I don’t know what else to say, but it’s too much and it's not enough. All at the same time. It’s like screaming without a voice. They said there’d be waves. They essentially promised. They said that these waves of sadness would come and go. That happiness would slowly seep back in. Weaving its way into the oscillating patterns of a heavy heart. But there haven’t been any waves. They were wrong. Instead the pain is dull. It is constant. But most of all, it’s there. It's there all the time. The constant part is the worst. The only thing I could relate it to is fire. It’s like somebody running through a fire has it easier. Sure they’ll get burned but the point is that they get to run through. They get out. This though? This is like getting caught in the fire and not making it through. This is like a permanent residency in my own personal hell and at some point I really need the fire to be put out; the pain to stop. It has to. There’s only so much a girl can take. It’s like somebody has their dark hand engulfing my heart and they’re squeezing it every day and no matter how I plead, they’re refusing to let go. It’s the greatest sadness I have ever known and it is depleting me emotionally and physically. I. Am. Too. Weak. Everybody keeps saying how strong I am. They have no idea. It’s like I’m the world’s greatest actress and I’ve fooled them all. All they see is somebody taking bad news well. But nobody takes their entire earth shattering “well”. And my earth has shattered. The death of my brother at the age of 21 has shattered me. There’s not one thing I wouldn’t give to go back and hug him just a little longer at the airport three days before he died. It was just supposed to be his last semester at college. Not the end of a life time. There are too many broken pieces. The jagged edges cut my hands. I can’t pick them up. And so now all I can do is pray. With my forehead to the ground and my faith in God I will pray. Pray the pain away in hopes that one day, the happiness is real. And the tears stop. In hopes that one day, I can go on without him. So I’ll pray.

I kept oscillating; in and out of love, in and out of emotions, between the familiar realm of raunchy young adult literature and the new, slightly uncomfortable realm of raunchy young adult life. I oscillated between dispositions; between pensive and restless, ***** and not remembering what kissing feels like, between the doldrums of despair and the weightlessness of bliss. My center of gravity oscillated, too- from my head to my heart to my thighs to the cavernous void in my amygdala that was once abuzz with stupid chemicals brought out by the hysterics of infatuation

Her Sacred Geometry
Enzymes directing life force through biochemical processes - nutrients from bountiful soil fusing metabolic, synchronic pulsations and creating existential tonic Developing a constellation of ideas; a symphony of fresh and innovative designs oscillating between various meditative and educative representations at increasingly high, metaphysical levels of vibration.

Existential Tonic
Heartstone is a reflection in music on a ‘lost’ poem. The poem described in its two short verses a summer’s day, a landscape, a fossil found and placed in the palm of a child’s hand. The poem inspired a seven-movement work for wind, brass and percussion with solo piano. Here is its poetic programme note. Chert The piano draws an arc of rhythm rising then falling. Above two choirs of wind and brass exclaim, fanfare, mark out shorter, determined gestures of sound. The procession, almost a march, becomes a dance. Alone Two choirs of wind and brass become four couples whose music weaves from complexity a simplicity: Chromatic to Pentatonic twelve becoming five. Prase Four stopped horns, five extended tonalities. Together they wander a maze of Pentatonic paths; alone, and in pairs, as a quartet they discover within a measured harmonic rhythm. Tension: resolution . . . and surrounding their every move the piano insists an obligato, a continuum of phrases, absorbing into itself the warp and weft of horn tone. Sard Oscillating in perpetual motion the full ensemble occupies a frame of time and space. Flutes, reeds, double-reeds brass, piano, percussion mirror-fold on mirror-fold layer upon layer overlapping. Yarns of threaded sound. Tuff Without a break the mirrored oscillations patter pentatonics on tuned percussion of marimba and vibraphone whilst a batterie of drums lays down shards of beaten rhythm against this onward folding of tonality change. In the background a choir of winds flutes and single reeds waymark this recursive journey gathering together cadential moments and the necessary pause for breath. Marl Relentlessly, the motion is sustained, piano-driven, a syncopated continuo, rhythm-sectioned amidst layers of percussion. Adding edge, a choir of brass and double reeds amplify the piano’s jagged rhythms providing impetus for phrases to become longer and longer, ratching up the tension, ever-denying closure until the batterie delivers a conclusive flourish. Paramoudra Pulse-figures of winds. Motific cells of brass. Both negotiate a stream of fractal-shaped tonality expanding: contracting. A blossom of fanfares folding into pulsating layers of tuned percussion, flutes and reeds. A dance-like episode absorbs a chorale. Four horns in close harmony against the continuing dance. A duet of differences flows into a cascade of chords in closed and open forms. The piano supports brass-flourishing figures before a final stillness. Heartstone In gentle reflection the solitary piano – a figure in a landscape of collapsed harmonic forms - presents in slow procession the essence of previous music.

In the background a choir of winds flutes and single reeds waymark this recursive journey gathering together cadential moments and the necessary pause for breath. Marl Relentlessly, the motion is sustained, piano-driven, a syncopated continuo, rhythm-sectioned amidst layers of percussion. Adding edge, a choir of brass and double reeds amplify the piano’s jagged rhythms providing impetus for phrases to become longer and longer, ratching up the tension, ever-denying closure until the batterie delivers a conclusive flourish. Paramoudra Pulse-figures of winds. Motific cells of brass. Both negotiate a stream of fractal-shaped tonality expanding: contracting. A blossom of fanfares folding into pulsating layers of tuned percussion, flutes and reeds. A dance-like episode absorbs a chorale. Four horns in close harmony against the continuing dance. A duet of differences flows into a cascade of chords in closed and open forms. The piano supports brass-flourishing figures before a final stillness. Heartstone In gentle reflection the solitary piano – a figure in a landscape of collapsed harmonic forms - presents in slow procession the essence of previous music.

Upon a midnight’s visage airy, T’was a lake frozen by fairy, …and weighing on mind’s tonnage bearing? There for ice’ opaqueness winter’s seized, …and arms encased in rime; trees. “Oh my,” At dark of sky thought the eye of something troubling upon my mind? And the frosty cloudy glass, Take to it upon my axe, …and the sting of shards will pass. And will I eat at last. Thusly, thrusting through the skull, wettened, weakened for the cold. …and burden carry I with me, So encased in rime is he, Doth make of fishing’s night a chore, Something that I do abhor! …and stare I did into that sea, …my frory breathe in imagery, Dismay it did fluster me, when my eye captured by Sea, ...and in whirling thoughts could reflection see? …and something else came back with me. Pool with drops, light curves, dark rings; in vapid mind now find nothing... T’was a misty sheen seen after showers? A damp muggy place of reflecting hours, Typhoid strange did make snowing; The Asteraceae of my wilted flowers, …and that Wren philosophically sings, …and at lake a lone be -ing, Appearing peering my soliloquy, I am therefore I into thee. …and fixed calm stared back at me, “What pray tell I Enquiry?” Did something else look back at me? ...and glaring gaze thus did see, something I had hid from me, …and gawking in my mind did ogle; a malevolence of thought once frugal... A gaping, oscillating, pierced Abyss, forced farther back into consciousness... Deeper in and further still, Climb atop Old Arthur’s hill, …and the winged Raven’s nearer, reflected on me in my mirror? …and time did pass turning frozen dying, icy tears of sadness from my crying, …so did silent Hume release, all the pain that’s troubling me; whilst frozen frame thus held in peace? I fell forward and felt submerged, Both characters, both now have merged. And that creature which accompanied me? Found a solace back in wine dark sea.

I'm trying to navigate through life, but the roads are iced over and this vehicle wasn't built for the treachery of snowy slopes. My tires turn at odd angles, oscillating wildly in their attempt to catch some semblance of traction. But the snow bank is getting closer and no matter how I twist the wheel I can't seem to steer away from what seems to be impending impact.

Impact
That tapestry, Red, Black, Gold A Celtic Circle-- silently bearing witness to the proceedings of that smoky room: The aquariums--one with the large eel who seemed to barely fit the tank that took up half the wall; and the smaller, vibrantly colored fish in the aquarium with the eggshell colored coral. The remixed music played at a comfortable volume, by the DJ we knew so well, together; as many times it hardly seemed like he was working at all, as he just sat down and talked to us, for hours. Looking through those over-sized books of old advertisements, and explanations of historical artwork; discussing the contents with strangers, who became friends in the process. Smoke billowed, enveloping the atmosphere and filling it with the smell of many spice racks, pleasantly rolled in a shell of a soft breeze flowing from the oscillating fan. The smell of joy, of a relaxed sense of mutual understanding; that it was okay not to say a word, because the atmosphere did the talking for us. We just enjoyed sitting on those red pleather couches that your **** sank back into, not allowing my feet to touch the floor; so they often just dangled, legs swinging to the tempo of the music. As I took a hit of the hookah, I manipulated the smoke into O's, puckering my lips, trying not to laugh as you gazed at me in a shy sense of wonder. That face always made you want to kiss me.

an ample empty Sunday nothing on the agenda, the calendars cease their chirping, it's a kinda free rarely heard maybe will go see a movie, walk alongside the East River currents, rushing somewhere we don't have to be, maybe we will practice rolling on the floor, visiting and winding up the grandkids, then escaping/leaving them with parents, crazy high and wet & dry maybe I'll cancel some credit cards, crack open the briefcase of deferred questions, have pizza for breakfast, write half a dozen baker's poems, finish some more of Dr. Zhivago, that I started several years ago, maybe, I'll keep her tied up in our bed, releasing her when she releases me   because I released her first yup, an empty day ahead full of the oscillating, a true east/west directionless vibrating range of ample possibilities

an ample empty Sunday
Caught between the mesh of rays Light plays with the life’s existence Oscillating between dawn, twilight and night Etching out the horizon of life Intrinsic influence on all the souls This celestial space is swathed in new light From the unknown origin, its journey Cradles every life with equal benevolence Kindles hope in every heart Rays of light travels deeper into us It heralds the beauty of every being here Touches us with nimble rays It’s an eternal repetition of the charmed circle

Light
Wild child space travel gypsy drunk on the cosmos churning a sensual pattern-- melting suns with a carefree wink as stars pour into her eyes like a garnet shiraz spiraling in tidal waves splashing in a crystal wine glass caressing her white light lips. Planets dip and dangle around her hips as the weight of the nebulous nectar whispers lullabies to her eyes as her incandescent hair contours to copious glistening constellations rippling across her tired body like ice dripping on a warm chest vibrating indigo moonlight jazz enrapturing millions with her simple act of symphonic yawning as the dusk light dawning over faces embraces souls stirring-- her purring hip cat dreams leave people like us with mouths agape as her voluptuousness nape hushes us with a supernova explosion of peace oscillating between each of our spirits.

She, the Outer Space
There's something about walking into an empty house that puts my mind at peace. Instead of a spouse, there is a fan flowing on 1,2,3 beats. Oscillating, turn-tabling, air stagnant like frozen meat. Simile. smile, Haha...it's supposed to be funny. It was yummy 'till he started Ralphing over the balcony. But, his name is Anthony I don't care. He can't fall asleep here and he won't be driving. The music is cacophony Turn the music down for the homie! The silence is so sweet. Stumbling into the back car seat. Oh ef Wolf Ge Stop lights switch with the beat. Obsolete keys scratch the lock; He's in the hot seat Walking a few blocks to his homecoming.

Metaphorically
I stepped into the house and removed my rain-soaked shoes on the grizzled entrance mat. No one in the kitchen. Though the aroma lingered, the coffee *** had turned itself off. I touched the glass -- cool. No one in the living room. Half a pair of sequined flats were in the dog's mouth, half a lady's pantsuit -- the black legs -- lied on the floor. A soap opera on the screen, the volume low, the gold-tipped ceiling fan oscillating, and Serge Gainsbourg's Histore de Melody Nelson played down the hall. I followed the breathy vocals and wandering baseline to my room, and there she sat. The blinds open, veiny rain running along the pane, on the beige carpeted floor, next to my unmade bed, criss-crossed Jessica. "Hey, sweetheart," I said. Jessica smiled. When she smiles, her cheeks go flush, she lowers her head slowly, embarrassed, but yet when she laughs, she laughs loudly, boldly. I've never understood that. Jessica was wearing a white, spaghetti-strap undershirt and blue cotton ******* Her brunette curls -- down, reaching past her shoulders. Her toenails -- painted purple and chipped. Newspapers lied strewn about her, with puddles of acrylic paint atop them. In her lap, a white canvas stapled to a wooden backing frame. She sang, *"Princesse des ténèbres, archange maudit, Amazone modern' style que le sculpteur, En anglais, surnomma Spirit of Ecstasy."* as she painted two lovers growing together like curious oak trees. I sat behind her on my bed. Pushed aside the tangled sheets. She craned her neck to kiss my cheek sweetly. "How was your day?" I asked. "Oh, who cares," she responded. Her eyebrows lifted, her fingertips traced my thigh, "Tell me something beautiful." "What?" She dipped her paintbrush in red, in white and applied them to the lovers' lips. "Tell me something beautiful." "I can't think of anything," I said. "Try."
