"reprimands" poems
**Here I lie wide awake, thoughts pouring through my mind. How sweet the touch your body, when craving after mine.** *Playful eyes and dancing toes, wrestling to shed our clothes. You bite my neck and I taste yours, we slowly kiss, our tongues explore.* **I toss and turn, try to ignore, these visions now vibrate my core, the chance I'd take if you were near, to breathe you in as though you're here.** *Lips running down your heartfelt chest, caressing them along your breast, excitfull moans begin to flow, the further down I go below.* *With grace I trace, my love expands, this sanctioned sin, no reprimands. You feel me now, passions run deep, quietly your sounds they speak, and as they do, I follow through, through the depths of reaching you.* *As inner thighs, quiver and quake, salty sweet your taste I take, your fingers running through my hair, you pace my face, and steady, there! You groan in ecstasy, your love receives the best of me. I slowly give my all to you, with rhythm we begin to move, clasping our hands, you sway your hips, you raise them up, as we eclipse.* **It echos through these deep elations, driving in intense sensations.** *Entangled we begin to dance, form beads of tropical romance. You rain on me, and I on you, our bodies moist like sultry dew.* **Tell me now, where have I gone, this feels like some celestial bond. I'm but alone, in my own bed, yet here you are inside my head.** *Joining rapid beating hearts, pulsating through our tender parts. Increasingly your warm breath's felt, together we begin to melt...* **I must expel this lustrous notion, to sinfully vow my devotion. How can it be, to have not met, yet yarn for you, without regret.**

Lazily I sit naked on my favorite  carved antique chair, by the writing table, fully immersed in Kamsutra zen, the randy one barges in, with a smile,euphemistically reprimands: "Man, have a heart, your ****** is being unfairly wasted again"

Kamasutra Zen
When your words sting through my heart and leave me broken - I love you When the distance between us feels like miles even though we're near - I love you When I think of how many fights we've been through - I love you When you can't control your anger and burst it all out - I love you When the volume of your voice increases and reprimands me - I love you When you speak of words of love and gentleness is in your voice - I love you When you make me feel the luckiest girl in the world - I love you When you give me hope and encouragement - I love you When I'm wrong and you set me right - I love you When you love me - I love you

When-I love you
how come we struggle with equality, when everyones looking for lifes perfect quality? society cuts down gays down and reprimands, forced into silence by a government that doesn't understand. why cant they can't marry? i mean come on, is gay marriage really that scary? people should be who they want to be, not be hiding in a closet unfree. it's not polite to point and stare, seriously, why do people care? they're the same as you and me, their ****** orientation is just different to some degree. society needs to take a good look inside, we need to support LGBT pride. because supposedly we are "free," but how come thats not how its been lately?

I know a bit about *learning to dance in the rain like nobody is watching* but... I know way more about dancing like a ***** in the kitchen despite the warden standing aghast eating up his own billowy firebreath soliloquy reprimands I earbud block shimmy, pivot and pop raising vibration tornado toss it a flippant middle and cheeky smile without breaking stride devil dismayed lips keep on syncing as if I can hear demeaning demonic procession but I already know what he’s saying *stop dancing like that in front of our son* you mean… to the beat of my own pulse shaking divine creation diffusing rainbow throes undulating radiant orbitals all for my own blissing? one day that boy will be a man who knows better than to ever call a goddess a ***** in the kitchen

dance like a ***** in the kitchen
moving inland far away from the coast temptation doth bring deeper in land the head seems consumed by everything nearing the coast it's the heart that sings though inland, my love, you will find me away from the bogs or the shoals o' herring holding you at bay with ***** keeping me next to me wanting tomorrow to be the better day my mind, an island for tromping shores different from desert sands when the tide of your concern reprimands on this island the shells are smaller and there are no dollars,   the sea, a shrunken plastic expanse of syringes and lip balm containers, soft fluid-filled bodies turned into sopping brown-bag skeletons, revenges of modern life. there is a rivulet further up shore do you feel it? follow the inlet wind near a candescent pond there is a house open the door if you fall in a home can be found.

_A_ _fat_ _little_ _girl_ .... A small little child with curly brown hair Chubby, pink cheeks with skin so fair Eats, enjoys, indulges and more Everyone says "she's full for sure" _A_ _fat_ _little_ _girl_ .... A sweet little girl, with long pigtails Sees all the girls, and wonders why she fails They all have friends, but why doesn't she How come they're all so happy _A_ _fat_ _little_ _girl_ .... A shy little girl, afraid to face her school Everyone laughs, she's fat and 'uncool' Sitting alone each and every day Wondering why they treat her this way _A_ _fat_ _little_ _girl_ .... A mature little girl, much for her age Looks at the number on the scale enraged Hating herself and what she's become Wishing to see all her bones such as some _A_ _fat_ _little_ _girl_ .... A fat little girl, no food on her plate Determined as hell to lose all this weight Her friends and her family, see her each day More and more frail, withering away _A_ _sick_ _little_ _girl_ .... A skeleton of a girl, who once was happy and bright Her eyes now dark and hollowed at night Clinging to life with her small, bony hands Regretting all childhood reprimands _A_ _dead_ _little_ _girl_ .... A dead little girl, now merely a corpse Leaving everyone behind feeling remorse A closed casket service, nothing left to show Wants to be be remembered as we all know

Lovely Bones
In loving you, no apologies I make, My heart breaks, its pieces start to ache. Meeting you, a bittersweet delight, Knowing I'll never be her shadow's light. True love knows no bounds, no demands, I accepted you, flaws and all, no reprimands. Yet, as you choose to return to her embrace, My heart's agony, I struggle to erase. I'd **** I'd die, I'd steal for you, it's true, A love so deep, a bond that still holds true. Forever and a day, I'll be yours to keep, Even as my heart shatters, my soul does weep.

Bound in unrequited love
a cyclist avoids a dog but takes out a table of garage sale figurines as a drought pamphleteer reprimands a child for ******* on a hose. I haunt my faith. according to my father my father isn’t alive my father eavesdrops. except for talking he’s been silent until in pictures of her as a young woman his mother is dead.

Wing clipped at birth, domestic birds they were. Farm and spacious pen bound together six years. She a prodigious egg layer, Don her attentive, aggressive defender. Daisy one day predator killed, old Don outwardly mourning her loss became a very different bird. All alone for the first time in his Duck life. We opened his gate and let him free roam. A lonely flightless fowl only earth bound. All aggression subsided with no mate to protect, he became more social, needing a friend. Crossing the yard from the barn, when ever he may see us there. He hunkers down in the shade while I tend to the garden, him like a supervisor, chortling occasional reprimands or encouragements, I can never tell which. All just to be close to some living thing. He will chase after wild doves that land near by, sadly mistaking them as perhaps a new mate, they fly quickly away, him wondering what social Duck blunder he might have made. When finished in the garden, Don and I to the barn retire, I ladle out a cup of corn for his pleasure. Then it's back to his always open pen where his bathtub sits, I turn on the hose and his excitement ramps up. Excitedly he squawks and ***** his wings, jumps into the tub, dives below the surface, reveling in the cool spray of man made current in his artificial lake, and with our few moments of companionship shared. Him doing what ducks do, for a while loneliness abated. It's almost as if I can see a smile on his pleasant Duck face. Most days he sits close to the chickens pen, watching the laying hens, scratching and moving within, perhaps wishing he was in there with them. I fear that if I open that wire door and let him go in, that those ladies would peck him bald or even dead. No matter how much a lonely Duck wishes he were a chicken, they remain birds of a very different feather, and a Duck can remain but a Duck forever. A thing we might all remember....

I will, for I can, go beyond my station now Wherefore should I be confined? And how You will wonder at me in the future, Which I shall make my present, forgetting the suture That has held my mouth - It is not a scar; And I have a million things to say as they are, Or as they might be - I will ape Almodóvar And outshine Solovjov, and will I go far! I will be She of the next generation; But I must get beyond this station I must move beyond the static, From the bedroom to the attic, And from thereon, to the world, When my courage has unfurled; And I will seize this with both hands And deal you wonder, charm and reprimands: I will paint you images, and write you songs, Celebrate your joy, and right your wrongs, Pick at the intricacies, and throw the obvious, Show humankind as honest and oblivious, And I will do this all, and watch me so - I just need to ready, set, and go.

hard to play the idiot; likened to Mr. Bean taking the role from Angus Daily into a Blackadder hurrah who? ha, ha, ha! my eyes never left me baffled - or washington prone: *** to a stirrup - furthermore, or Rushmore: Atilla with an entourage worthy of Genghis: of prone gravitas - i too santa's little helper and sinatra's five p.m. flamingo strut's worth of martini - when said slavic eye then lessened germanic white-boy fisheyed to boot... i mean less binocular and more concentrate... but there's me as a fifth of Nevada in Siberia that's always the: **** we sold Alaska! Nicolai! oh Nicolai! Alaska! **** or of what was the Crimea, of what is the Kremlin: k, c, k, c, s, c, k, c, k, c, Vlad, s, t, u, v, k, c, s, Rasputin, k, c, k, c, Boney M.... i'm still fidgety about the third ethnicity in europe... i have to gather them attune to being southern slav, or pseudo-turkish, Finns, Latvians and Greeks... sounds like falafel: all guidance to the subsequent reprimands of necessarily tongue-tied whiplash - gravitas with the kink and jeopardy of a gimp fetish on the loose.

Silence ebbs Down the street By my side. By my pride. Shattered not By the patter on My umbrella, Down Avenue Isabella. And silence flows. The crooked sidewalk Grabs at my feet And my pride snickers. Silence breaks not For your ambient Bickers. A door of wickers' Make On Avenue Isabella Swings to regression And silence flickers. For whom The bell tolls My pride reprimands. The dead need no Gentle hands. And on Avenue Isabella Porous souls are steeped So deeply in Their own pretension To fill the lonely holes That the bell tolls To a harmonious roar Of crowded silence. Dead Silence.

Avenue Isabella
I knelt down and cried, within His gentle, multi colored hands. Confessing to my sins and hoping He would understand. I realized my own forgiveness was at my command. I had been harder on myself, with my own reprimands. Gently, in multi colored hands, I cried and knelt down within. He said that my beliefs, were not looked upon as sins. For was He not a part of everything we had been given? And was He not at the core of every Sects religion? His multi colored hands, gentled, as I knelt down within and cried. For God has not one Nationality, nor one color, I realized. And I did not see a sign that read Only Christians Need Apply. An all encompassing love, was his way of a reply.

His Multi Colored Hands
*They say I write for love for I am in love, and they love the works I wrote. But I can't help but be a little peeved, though still I smile with the gratefulness it connotes. I wonder when will they hear the reprimands my heart whispers. That I do not write for love because I am in love, but I write of love because of you.*

These days in doubt my sanity proven culled from my lovitude or should I say attitude maybe solitude 'cos I thought I was on guard Until fall I did without a thud, slowly the fade began until the voice stopped no more reprimands questions stopped conscience slept and I roared happy to soar then it returned Fear, pain, uncertainty and I retraced my steps not without scars for this haven we savoured with its perks and glints now hold ashes for me, us, I can't sit still without thinking of purity sold guard let down to lovitude's joy as sorrow flooded The wasted me I might not relate to this but I do translate it can I still sit in your arms without regrets of disappointments thrown of regrets without end for that moment this madness began.

The ticking clock runs slow Time seems to slow with it Heads nod as the professor teaches Pencils slow as class runs long It should have ended an hour ago No one realizes that the clock has stopped When will it be over? No one knows, everyone cares The professor looks up at the clock Sighs and keeps teaching Stuck at 2:55 the second hand twitches Some one checks their watch its 4 o'clock They try to let him know He reprimands them Finally he checks his own watch It is also broken He keeps teaching And teaching We go through a weeks worth of lessons Its now 7 o'clock Some one tries to leave He shuts the door Still he teaches How I do now know Eventually the lights go off Now we can leave We see him smirking as we walk away He knew all along He just wanted to see if we would stay And we did Just like good little sheep Doing everything the shepherd says Without a second thought Maybe not next time though Maybe he won't get away with it But we are the sheep, we do not think We do whatever he tells us to

An old friend sleeps somewhere you've not been. He may be seeing awful things or lovely ones.  Of course, you've no discernment, for you dwell outside his sphere now and outside his dreams; for that matter, you cannot sleep at all. When his body gives the sudden **** you tiredly await-- when he falls from the hammock and breaks his arm, will you reprimand him for his fault? Yet, could not you have told him when he asked for your advice those years ago that you doubted him in the first place? that his ambition frightened you? that high-up hammocks are beds for the foolish more often than not? Through the pain of malbent joint and forced awakening next to you where you've watched from the ground, will he learn only then? What if he reprimands you, then, upon consciousness-- what then?  Or what if it's his spine he damages, and Something Goes Very Wrong, and he cannot speak, but it is in the misery of his eyes that you can hear him declaring, "You could have spared me this!" --what then? Or what will you say if he never comes down at all?  And when?  How, even, will you know that he has woken? --that he's happy? --that he wishes you had come with him, hopes that you might yet? An old friend sleeps-- or seems to sleep-- somewhere you've not been, and as you ask yourself, "What became of him?" he looks to you from his high perch and also aches to know-- as someone below you asks of you; and someone beneath him and someone beneath him and someone beneath him...

Glassy gold eyes, perfect porcelain face, ruby red lips, a raven spill of tresses. Slender white arms, lengthy legs, miniature black shoes, a golden buckle. Knee length black ruffles, puffed sleeves, a sparkly gold sash snug around my middle. Round teeny cheeks, a tiny gold bracelet, dainty gold studs punctuate my ears. A little rouge gives my eyes some life. Master smiles. I am a doll. He checks his pocket watch; my new family is almost here. He poses me high on a shelf in a pitch black room, my face and limbs giving off an unnatural luminosity. The ****** of the shop’s bell tells me they’ve arrived; they’ve come to take me home. An impatient child squeals. A mother reprimands. The anxious child gives a quiet complaint. The mother inquires. Master answers and comes for me. The darkness floods with light. Master’s hands gently encircle my waist. He whispers caution and presents me to my owner. The excited child snatches me from his hands, jerking my head back awkwardly. The daughter of Queen Elizabeth I’s fourth cousin, twice removed. “The most spoiled brat in all of England,” my Master might say. She stares into my eyes. She greets me with joy and a flicker of fear at how lifelike I stare back. Her mother pays and I am cuddled and cradled. Over her shoulder I pull back my ruby lips, my sharp grin flashes privately for my Master. We leave the shop and stroll into the night. The sound of his laughter echoes triumphantly in our ears. In the sitting room, the dying embers in the fireplace cast a red glow on their lifeless features. The door in the foyer creaks, opening. A smile lights my face. They have paid the highest price and Master has come to collect his favorite toy.
