I want to taste your lips Laced with your paste Your flavor I savor with haste your Amazing Grace graze my face sweetness of a peach The fragrance placed a memory That will remember me the taste Of your wetness Your lips drip with your juice sweet nectar Ripe fruit with deeperflavor  than it's juice roots Pedals flush with color Lips swollen Attraction potent

I want to dip my tongue, inside your flavor. With no waver, I savor your taste. With a desires pace, your liquids turned to paste, a love potion laced with our grace. Delicious lips glistening with ours juices. A cocktail saturated with your nectar. Our fountain we await, satisfaction at a hieghted state. I greet you with my pleasures at an amazing pace, our lips embrace lacerated by my tongue -- I trespass your pearly gates, where your pleasure awaits, I await - at the mercy of our warm embrace.

Fountain
Lost in your arms, for years at a time your touch was my grace, our grind was my pace, way made love, like tongues make taste I feel in love with your paste it likes your body was laced. between your legs, inside your body, became my favorite place. Hand at my sides, my gripping your waist. One look in your eyes, giving passion a new face. Touching your body, emotions erupting, Adrenalin gives race. I can hear your heart beating, as your blood starts to race. our bodies interlaced from the inside, You can feel me inside I'm so deep, your fingers dig in as your brace. Pleasure is pain, and its writing across your face, the slower we grind, the further your mind goes, to that distant place. As your hips whine, my waist line sets the pace, as my mind plays rewind I press forward, like the present is time and I'm living it in real-time still amazed by your grace.

Time for some originality methinks this copy paste world of ours, well it stinks sincerity became a thing of the past as people got lazy and obsessed with fast No time for honesty bout the way that you feel originality gone at the turn of a wheel a right click here and a left click there and we use others words to show that we care Well enough of being lazy and thoughtless I say Lets go back and do things the old fashioned way Where you said what you meant and you meant what you said And took time to write words you knew would be read Its hard to wrap emails in ribbons and bows As for Facebook and messenger who knows where that goes So give me some paper and a pen every time And I will sit down and think, and then write you a line My words may make you smile and they may make you weep But I choose them with care to build something you'll keep.

Really? Well, don’t be, because it doesn’t help to be sorry. Sorry doesn’t change it. Sorry doesn’t make it go away. Sorry doesn’t “undo” what’s already been done. Sorry doesn’t erase my memory. Sorry doesn’t take away the searing pain in my chest. Sorry ***** I don't want your pity or to hear that no child should ever have to endure what I did. Because **** happens. It happened to me …it happens to millions of other kids. Shoulda…woulda…coulda… You’re right – I do have so much going for me. I have an education, a career, financial security – the beautiful house w/the picket fence, the 2 kids and the dogs. And it’s all a huge sham! You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl. And that’s what I’m to be commended for??? That doesn’t make me special. I should be commended because I have an education? Things could sure be a lot worse, huh? I could be a crack ***** living on the street with 10 kids in foster care, unable to afford therapy even if I wanted to go. I could be like “them”. Wow! I’m so awesome. Yay for me! Kudos to the smart chick that spent years being molested by her father and ACTUALLY made something of her life. It’s a miracle! It’s all such a sham – a dog and pony show. Smoke and Mirrors, my dear! Put on a stylish outfit, and paste on a cheerful smile, and everyone thinks you have it all together….. No one would ever know different. You wouldn’t have known. If I’d have kept my big fat mouth shut!!!!! I should have known better….I should have sat down and weighed the risks, possible opportunities, the roadblocks the problems, and definitely a cost analysis of plan A – trying to work through the ******** of the past, B – continue to live in denial, C – **** myself. …. That’s what a smart business woman would have done. And after all, I’m super smart, huh? A real genius!

copy and paste
The artichoke of delicate heart ***** in its battle-dress, builds its minimal cupola; keeps stark in its scallop of scales. Around it, demoniac vegetables bristle their thicknesses, devise tendrils and belfries, the bulb's agitations; while under the subsoil the carrot sleeps sound in its rusty mustaches. Runner and filaments bleach in the vineyards, whereon rise the vines. The sedulous cabbage arranges its petticoats; oregano sweetens a world; and the artichoke dulcetly there in a gardenplot, armed for a skirmish, goes proud in its pomegranate burnishes. Till, on a day, each by the other, the artichoke moves to its dream of a market place in the big willow hoppers: a battle formation. Most warlike of defilades- with men in the market stalls, white shirts in the soup-greens, artichoke field marshals, close-order conclaves, commands, detonations, and voices, a crashing of crate staves. And Maria come down with her hamper to make trial of an artichoke: she reflects, she examines, she candles them up to the light like an egg, never flinching; she bargains, she tumbles her prize in a market bag among shoes and a cabbage head, a bottle of vinegar; is back in her kitchen. The artichoke drowns in a *** So you have it: a vegetable, armed, a profession (call it an artichoke) whose end is millennial. We taste of that sweetness, dismembering scale after scale. We eat of a halcyon paste: it is green at the artichoke heart.

Ode To an Artichoke

You Are the Texture ………………………… **~ for all of you, you, you poet~** Impasto “**is a technique used in painting, where paint is laid on an area of the surface thickly, usually thick enough that the brush or  painting- knife strokes are visible. Paint can also be mixed right on to the canvas. When dry, impasto provides texture; the paint appears as if, to be coming out of the canvas.**” <1:47pm> Cut & Paste *is a technique used in poetry writing, we refer back to our visions, heard words, the eyeful, the earful, scents, the reads read, all in the mind’s palette blended, thickly, but when the merging fused, every word~in~coloration, it is unique, reincarnation, copying impossible. The imagery, cut and pasted from thy heart and soul, upon canvas, your poems~pieces each appear* ***as you-are-texture, you becoming out of, you, the canvas. <2:04pm> Postscript*** ……………… it is not lost on me that the scars, our words, herein, as we note all too frequently, almost casually, are, can be, those selfsame words/painting-knife employed for our first and foremost canvas we utilize, ourselves… our bodies, our very selves salved

Copy and Paste
I see the beauty in a palm‑sized tomato growing afloat on Inle Lake— the one-legged fisherman silhouetted, perilous against his wooden boat, against the slow-setting sun. Thin echoes of beauty linger: hundred-year ruins, temples, stupas standing with pride, The culture of longyi worn with quiet delight. I took the train that loops through buildings, markets, houses, plantations— a city, a country shadowed by a darkness yet to reckon with its genocide. The cries rise, unacknowledged. “Mingalaba,” says a Burmese lady, her face painted with thanaka, the ground bark a pale mask in the sun’s scorching glare. She sits near Dyamayanggi Temple, a basket of snacks at her side, offering them with a smile. Joy comes chasing the sunset in the land of a thousand pagodas. A mystical climb, a striking landscape. I breathe, feel, wish to stay longer, soaked in twilight. For a fleeting moment, with eyes closed, I drown in the colours of the golden sky.

There's an awkward thrill I feel like wicked-wet rabies – Oh. Ah. Oh. To gaze over photos of the woman I created. With my warped perception, saturating and cropping everything into delicious oblivion. I am the knife as well as the ingredients that sauteed her together in a camera flash. She sits hot like heaven. And I want to stare at her picture all day until she comes to life. The woman I created, I hang up like perfected rotisserie and fall in love with her accidentally every day. Looking into those precisely underlined tiger-sex eyes of startling navy. Knowing their true dullness. Hissing at the free-swinging curls and the hours behind them. Loving the lie. The flowy top and sleek trousers gliding down lovely as Niagara over chaffing chub; all hidden. And thighs; unshaven. And that topical smile everyone likes to see, waiting to plummet into suicide like a kite hanging in one tight second. Her image is my greatest False accomplishment. I hang my portrait up on a wall of the internet for people of the world to migrate to the photo exhibit, my little show-off room. They make offers and toss compliments with their “I like this. I like this." nonsense. They don't know that the girl in the portrait, she isn't organic. They seem not to notice that she is something of a chemical flower. Her face is my face, only with whiteout poison-paste smoothed over twice. And they want to stare at her picture all day until she comes to life. Gazing upon her believed-to-be beauty, as I hang my paintbrush, she bites her body still as a painting, bruised and needled into perfect frame. She cries like Jesus Christ, as she is stared at, but not seen. I am the artist as well as the object. And the woman in the portrait is nothing, but dot after dot of manipulated color. And we want to stare at her picture all day until she comes to life.

acting is a lot easier than people let you believe. First you pick a person, some sort of simple, easy, fun-loving personality some range of phrases for said personality mixed in with reactions of course, and BAM you got the gist. my character is funny in the way that they're sort of me. I'm very fake. I've got this habit, you see, this habit of smiling and laughing. "it's fine, it's funny we're laughing." I'm the therapist, they come to me, I help. I collect shards and paste them together abandoning my own flayed pieces, ignoring my own shattered self. But that's okay! See that's okay!! Because J! J! J doesn't mind being stepped on! OH ** ** J DOESN'T MIND BEING USED AND TORMENTED! NO NO CONTINUE PLEASE! J doesn't MIND only being talked to when others need something! Please, go ON! Because J! J WILL LET YOU? and why? maybe it's the separation anxiety or abandonment issues or the fear of being alone in a general way or a fear of being hated maybe it's because J is so ****** use to being treated like a ******* DOORMAT! that it doesn't even phase them anymore it doesn't even matter anymore it's part of the normal world day-to-day life! . . . I smile a lot. I laugh a lot. More than most. More than I should. Some would argue that it's simply too much am I trying too hard with it? is it somehow obvious? . . . I left my first period to the bathroom. and proceeded to sit down on the hate this word and yet i couldn't cry? WHY? someone else was in the bathroom. I wanted NEEDED some sort of a break and yet J and yet I I could not give myself leniency. Even alone even if the person there didn't matter. So when she left, a shed I still could not cry and i split skin instead. I had planned it for a while nowhere near deep enough of course couldn't be caught bleeding all around the school. I had my blades in the bag, I tucked them into my pocket. some of the juice splattered itself onto tile floor onto blue jeans onto hate this word paper wrapping itself around my arms, pleading with me to please, please stop. but who the **** cares because . . . I smile a lot.

J WILL LET YOU? and why? maybe it's the separation anxiety or abandonment issues or the fear of being alone in a general way or a fear of being hated maybe it's because J is so ****** use to being treated like a ******* DOORMAT! that it doesn't even phase them anymore it doesn't even matter anymore it's part of the normal world day-to-day life! . . . I smile a lot. I laugh a lot. More than most. More than I should. Some would argue that it's simply too much am I trying too hard with it? is it somehow obvious? . . . I left my first period to the bathroom. and proceeded to sit down on the hate this word and yet i couldn't cry? WHY? someone else was in the bathroom. I wanted NEEDED some sort of a break and yet J and yet I I could not give myself leniency. Even alone even if the person there didn't matter. So when she left, a shed I still could not cry and i split skin instead. I had planned it for a while nowhere near deep enough of course couldn't be caught bleeding all around the school. I had my blades in the bag, I tucked them into my pocket. some of the juice splattered itself onto tile floor onto blue jeans onto hate this word paper wrapping itself around my arms, pleading with me to please, please stop. but who the **** cares because . . . I smile a lot.

Each of us needs a sunroom

I didn't mean to distract you, upon first interaction with you, I saw the sun lights refraction shining upon human polka dots I have a thought that I won't say, Ill write you In the plot of a book, that takes place far far away Most times I speak with haste, life is no computer, but I can still copy and paste, my thoughts in a manner that properly compiles grace, and with some glue, you trapped your hands upon plastic keys, and played for me, a melody, and said I've been waiting my whole life to do this, I am alone and I am free, and I will stay that way for a while, so don't look at me with smile, and as quickly as it was created my memory can be cut and pasted into a file you keep beneath your bed, The cold is coming, and I hope you wear hats upon your head and scarves upon your neck, for I hope you realize I am a sled, I don't stop until I reach the bottom, of a barrel filled with luck I live my off of,

Teeter tottering Tip-Toe tangling opinion Excuses Words fermented Rotting-rigor I know you. Slit-eyed palefaced ****** of bigot ideas Bearing pronged poker Clicking glinting-clawed finger fondling fake religion Suppressing supplement thought ******** God's love the good life Living a life to be proud of Excuse me!

I know you.
*a child is born free of mind but is hardened into thought and by the time one dies most are fixed and ******* into worlds of their making, heavens of their fantasies* so one thinks one's an Indian, one a Chinese or an American or British or Swedish or French or Russian or German; or one thinks one is a Christian or Muslim or Jew or Hindu or Sikh or Catholic or Doaist or Buddhist or Marxist or Communist or even for that matter, an atheist - or whatever you will... one finds a badge to pin proudly to one's chest and each identity becomes so strong it becomes so real it all comes into the question of right and wrong of evil and good and it falls into loud declamations and my tribe is good, your tribe is evil my brand is holy, your brand unholy... and so it goes, with all sorts of justifications that beat sense out of all loyal adherents and it squeezes humanity out of the human as paste out of a tube... ah, and yes, the energy goes on into the afterlife as Christians go into a Christian Heaven and Hindus and Buddhists into various Lokas and Muslims in their own Paradise and so it goes on, this Human Tragi-Comedy, yes, yes, certainly all created by the Almighty who was created by your mind's poverty so that a child is born free of mind but is hardened into thought and by the time one dies most are fixed and ******* into worlds of their making, heavens of their fantasies
