"riotous" poems
She’s known as Riotous Rose. Never has she wanted for company in the intimate spaces between sheets. His voice, it calls to her, guides her down below to rapturous desire. A carnal growl achingly echoes inspiring ravenous teeth and hands that ravage in the gentlest of ways. ****** roses blossom in her cheeks. With nimble fingers she picks them before offering them to her lover.

Riotous Rose
Sequacious demonstrative mongrel fantastication Overt fantasias and monstrance clarification Rhetorical rote of empirical justification Whimsical enervations elicit ramification Incite legendary fables of rectification Tempestuous mendacious erudite personifications Endemic epistemological semantics of edification Evocative illuminism engenders mortification Judicious spontaneous phantasms of gratification Numinous salutatory statutes of ratification Heuristic existentializing empiricisms alleviate confusion Adamant machismo machinations eliminate delusion Eulogizing enigma entity’s illustrious illusion Torridly allusive revelries of reverie effusion Educing morose maniacal moribundity’s inclusion Epitomizing empathetic revulsions to corroborate elusion Probitous erudite solicitations evade contusion Raunchy riotous accoutrements appreciate exclusion Optimizing subjunctively torpid recalcitrant collusion Scenario syntactics of mythically epic allusion

Dream Divination
Retail-hunter gatherers pick clean processed bones, digging graves with their shiny teeth, studious in their reveries as they drone past worlds dumped in the thresher; the trucked-in fields of film-wrapped gore splayed lustily before the managers wound tight in Machiavellian design. A shepherd herds his flock of wreathed iron back to its pen, its skeletal tangle lit in riotous gold by swords flung from lambent eyes of pre-dawn’s shunting chariots Cages shunt and bobble like tugboats chugging stoic up swimming pool lanes of nondescript tile, cheered on by shouting colours to float through archipelagos of paper towel and chocolate blocks past the vegemite diaspora, and the arctic wastelands cased in sliding glass fields of perfect steady storms as wraiths baked in halogen ask silent questions of the silverbeet, while Lana Del Ray’s voice falls like nightshade—slutty and serene—coating shelf stackers in a Piaf sadness as the shelves reach their arms out for more. The check out chick hatches a sense of déjà vu as carrots and biscuits drone towards her mind berEFT of any twitching sense of POSsibility that wised up and flew this leering coop and deep in her catalogue of grey folds something stillborn and waxen is perched on gleaming steel, reeling out her guts like cassette tape with jerky nightmare arms and laughing like a banker watching ***** films, mornings dull cerise an invocation through auto-jaws as she bursts out to warble with magpies in car park’s climbing fire.

Here come I to my own again, Fed, forgiven and known again, Claimed by bone of my bone again And cheered by flesh of my flesh. The fatted calf is dressed for me, But the husks have greater zest for me, I think my pigs will be best for me, So I’m off to the Yards afresh. I never was very refined, you see, (And it weighs on my brother’s mind, you see) But there’s no reproach among swine, d’you see, For being a bit of a swine. So I’m off with wallet and staff to eat The bread that is three parts chaff to wheat, But glory be!—there’s a laugh to it, Which isn’t the case when we dine. My father glooms and advises me, My brother sulks and despises me, And Mother catechises me Till I want to go out and swear. And, in spite of the butler’s gravity, I know that the servants have it I Am a monster of moral depravity, And I’m ****** if I think it’s fair! I wasted my substance, I know I did, On riotous living, so I did, But there’s nothing on record to show I did Worse than my betters have done. They talk of the money I spent out there— They hint at the pace that I went out there— But they all forget I was sent out there Alone as a rich man’s son. So I was a mark for plunder at once, And lost my cash (can you wonder?) at once, But I didn’t give up and knock under at once, I worked in the Yards, for a spell, Where I spent my nights and my days with hogs. And shared their milk and maize with hogs, Till, I guess, I have learned what pays with hogs And—I have that knowledge to sell! So back I go to my job again, Not so easy to rob again, Or quite so ready to sob again On any neck that’s around. I’m leaving, Pater. Good-bye to you! God bless you, Mater! I’ll write to you! I wouldn’t be impolite to you, But, Brother, you are a hound!

Thrumming life-threads are weaving the day, Myriad summer colours of an abstract view, Curling up between and under the far away. I’m lost in the mix, a melting *** full of play, My own shade of Dark, a subtle blended hue, Thrumming life-threads are weaving the day. Beautiful retro splendour, asking me to stay, Flower in her hair, white petals, edged blue, Curling up between and under the far away. Smiling, she raises my soul from feet of clay, Dark and Stormy cocktail easing me through, Thrumming life-threads are weaving the day. Cuban rhythm dancers give a riotous display, Bohemian sight and sound unleashed on cue, Curling up between and under the far away. We sample dreams from an enchanted tray, Allowing hearts, minds, and spirits to renew, Thrumming life-threads are weaving the day, Curling up between and under the far away. ©Paul M Chafer 2015

Camden Muse
The first brave buds of spring burst forth In shades of yellow and green. They stand sentry at my door Like fierce mujahedin. They expel the bear of winter. They sneer at frightful frost. I wouldn’t want to be the snowflake That they chance to come across. In the seedbed things are stirring, germinating beneath the sod. There’s a riotous revolution that bespeaks the touch of God. Flowers are like people They can be kept down just so long. Then solar warmth will melt the snow And birds break into song. The garden trees are setting buds That soon will dominate the scene. It is Heaven enough for now as things bloom and grow and preen.

അ**  Getting closer, to the just bloomed flower that bewitched him in an instant, the honey bee gets intoxicated by the web  of love, the sweet flower threw around, it felt more like a gentle caress to which his heart jumped! He  starts to do an ecstatic dance, never thought he could, till this sweet moment arrived, merely touching her soft petals he flies high as if to proclaim his pleasure buzzing a new tune he composed for this special moment, he circles the flower as if to adore her beauty form all possible angles making the moments of love so special for them both.. ആ** A butterfly enchanted by the flower,next has a dance of love so different, he would flit around and hover above adore her beauty in a more relaxed pace, he appreciates her silence to his soft declarations, his love songs have no words, on air written by the sprightly moves of his colorful wings, he knows she loves it and his dance tells it all. Like a kite on the waves of wind, he bobs on air gently descending,looking at her eyes. ഇ**  The tailor bird who never misses mother nature's children all,big and small, in their myriad ways of loving and living watches what's going on, without batting an eye lid, she has a doubt "Who among these   lovers are more intense?" she thinks aloud.** ഈ** The sonorous singer, Bulbul watching it all from the hanging branch of a Champak, flowered in riotous profusion answers: ഉ   "Both are poets, no doubt, of  distinction too, each of their deeds spontaneous demonstrates, with hearts full of love they wave poetry around us in ways ingenious paired with flowers. why compare them?

Two silhouettes muttered through cigarette smoke next to the tall, black double doors at the head of the corridor unfazed by the white rectangles flickering above us. The doors parted next thing I knew, I was in a black box of four tall black walls, and a clammy black floor made of the same padded fabric as the entrance doors. Riotous bass pummelled through the room like a tortured bull. There were hundreds of people here; maybe more but they were all lying docile, faceless and still against each other. They were all young. I picked up an inconsistent rhythm of chests rising and falling like ripples ushered across the sea by a gentle breeze. Yet it was the overwhelming sense of flesh here that lit a snarling viciousness within me. How it excited me and how I feared it. I was a butcher, afraid of what he could do. I saw someone I recognised – her brown hair was tied back, her eyelashes twitched in her slumber. I stepped over and sat behind her. She pulled herself closer to me and kissed my cheek. I buried my face in her neck and placed my palm on her bare stomach took my index finger, and ran a circle around her navel. I can’t remember what happened after that.  Images slip through like water in cupped hands. But I remember the raw beat, and the gentle ripple of chests and how it reminded me of the sleeping new-borns in a maternal ward.

Columbine.
Long and lithe fingers, comfort moulded into cones, is where art kisses geometry and meets one of its own. Her hands are to touch manicured and glazed, you feel home and lost a Pharaoh now, and next a waif The nails, you find and wonder filed for a student and trimmed. Not a wisp of colour bare as a bone, naked and skinned. Snug in a life song, a pallbearer of untold griefs, they are a stark sight of colourless coral reefs.   On but a blue moon, they’re a savoury rare, when hungry eyes feast on the riotous fair. Why, one day, I ask thee? She would smile and wouldn’t tell. ‘Never felt like’, is her No Comment.

A girl who doesn’t paint her nails
a riotous collusion of chromatics coalesced on eager eye's devouring the whispers bleeding from the suns last crimson gasp it's violent prismatic cool heat traipsed over unconscious longing to touch as your subtle warmth dripped over me

sunset
a perfect, newly unveiled horizon line ancient and promising yet reborn as a newborn to my industrialized eyes. I haven’t heard sirens in days. still, there is the hustle and bustle of movement everywhere, but not by people nor Porsches and Escalades and their infiltrating thick smog. no inane chatter and fake oohing and aahing over Louis’ and who saw who. no here the possessions move the so-called inorganic the buildings, doors, and gates yearning to be free swaying, creaking their tiny reins of confinement too much to bear for their free spirits. taking their cue from trees, plants, vines, leaves which are overgrowing fences and clambering over walls a massive riotous uprising at a glacier-pace to triumph over the bipeds imagine the horror of the flora at a sudden interment to La-La-Land the hopelessness and oppression at being trimmed twice a week mutilated and then slaughtered. no they are the secret underground rulers stubbornly proud but humble tyrants mercifully loving their lowly subjects feeling sorry for us we who have been forced into this unnatural industrial order not their beautiful chaos. and yet... they lie in wait patiently, silently anticipating the day when we throw up our arms in exasperation and relief and acquiesce to their dominion a return to times before times.

Chloroplasts Unite!
Torrents of vapor ridden wind, snatched at her hair. Below, rattled the rapid, riotous and vast, rippling sea. Churning, like a chewing, charming serpent's lair. Once long ago I knew her; with time she left me be. On the edge she was, with will to leap t'wards the horizons. The brittle cliff would not give way, for even it was curious. Dare say all of nature reacted for the most prurient reasons. Even the sky descended to watch, with a lightning so furious. She beheld no fear and the sky wept with thunderous applause. Her bare marble-like features glistened in the gleaning of the gloom. Why she stood there, triumphantly, tempting, terror, for what cause? It will never be known, for she never was, in a time before this doom. The earth shook like the hands of a beleaguered, berated old man. It erected monoliths. Volcanoes, pluming molten magma skyward. The red glow brought heat; earth thought to please her, or so was its plan. The elements wrestled for the better view of that beauty stalwart. Never had a sight been so majestically violent, so mightily tame. Where she stood, should and would forever more be a sacred place. The tempest of the elements raged on, though none would win the game. A silence, softly, settled the rambunctiousness, and halted their race. The skies parted with a sad and lowly somberness. Every elated, embittered, element safely put to rest. As the sun swept aside all their postulated, pettiness. Rays of the sun showered her with bright white zest. The lady, she moved with unfathomable grace. She tilted her perfect head up to the skies. With the slightest of a smile shook her face. Like all before, she left them there surprised... and forever, there she stood.

Cottage Garden
. I know this place, light stone avenues, fig, pear, apricot and apple, trees that line in rows, cut paving with neat gutters **** white granite buildings, as ferns and creepers cascade from roof gardens, the green shining vivid in appreciation of being alive. And I connect across the aeons, this place was my home, from centuries long passed, yet reaching out to be found. The avenues mimic my mind, long straight and narrow, broad and winding, leading to sedate squares to sit and feel the sun, to bathe in beautiful isolation. And the trees sway casually in a breeze so soft, it caresses the branches, enough to tickle the leaves and cool the ripening fruit. Here, the forest erupts, circles around this sanctuary, forming a natural hedge to this garden of tranquility, this oasis in the maelstrom, this home in my heart. Flowers of honeysuckle, jasmine, of clovers and lily, adorn walls and buildings, bright in contrast to the shadows of the trees, bloom with the intensity of colour, riotous in hue and arrangement, yet, ordered to Nature's Law. Paradise wrapped in image, slicing through time and space, my place a thousand years ago, my place to claim forever, and the wind carries me home, I know this place, because it lives inside of me, because I made it. © Pagan Paul (06/06/18)

Secret Garden
*...Then light gives way to shadow ‘neath and wind doth surge through cold cliff’s teeth The ship finds doom among those rocks just as a city o’er come with pox. How the ****** cry, a riotous swell without anger, fury, none will tell The story dies as the pinnace snaps another secret lost in gaps ‘The skiffs!’ they screamed a’running quick but salvation dashed, the tides too thick Each man, a child, cannot swim their bodies thrown, the ocean’s whim No remnants left upon the shore the men aboard were seen no more Wives and sons a’wept and wept the sea forever in contempt...*

I couldn't know you'd need me then! Just a human with all frailty and much fault....    Do you think the wind blows differently When  it passes over leaves and trees? That it says: "Wait, lemme stop here a bit And blow on this one leaf  in a special way"    Hardly! Time to get with the manure beneath And see that sunrays shine on everything And indiscriminate clouds shimmer on all, How haphazard, the way the wind blows.    So, don't hang your head and moan so much Time dawns for you to get over yourself Don't you see that I'm still here? Now quit getting your knickers in a knot!    You rant and rave while I pant and slave Dissect my every move, make me aloof How can you possibly go counting And re-arranging all the marbles in my head?    You're so insecure, you make me mad So exhaustive are your constant jibes So tiring to soothe your unfounded fears I'm having to placate you so often of late.    Before it all gets blown out of size Sit a while in  (h)arboured thought Confront the dreads which cause disquiet A trove may wash up....but broken, on your shore.    The wind comes not with tardy tidings For it isn't the what you say or do But forsooth, the how which carries weight Let's not over-whip each other so.    My thoughts may be wanton, wild or reckless Telling tigs bend on a riotous grind Yet feckless deeds don't follow suit Pardon my slightly-misbehaving mind.    Patient and respectful, I remain to be Just guard against esurient whims Paucity of faith and clockwork trivial'ties Will lead us down a road of trials.    Fallen martyrs should not feign, see The wind makes no pretense. It just blows.... Now, I really couldn't know you'd need me then 'Cause, baby, that's the way the wind blows!    S T, 5 April 13

Between the hands, between the brows, Between the lips of Love-Lily, A spirit is born whose birth endows My blood with fire to burn through me; Who breathes upon my gazing eyes, Who laughs and murmurs in mine ear, At whose least touch my colour flies, And whom my life grows faint to hear. Within the voice, within the heart, Within the mind of Love-Lily, A spirit is born who lifts apart His tremulous wings and looks at me; Who on my mouth his finger lays, And shows, while whispering lutes confer, That Eden of Love’s watered ways Whose winds and spirits worship her. Brows, hands, and lips, heart, mind, and voice, Kisses and words of Love-Lily,— Oh! bid me with your joy rejoice Till riotous longing rest in me! Ah! let not hope be still distraught, But find in her its gracious goal, Whose speech Truth knows not from her thought Nor Love her body from her soul.

Love-Lily
i am trying to take care of my body nurture it as if it were a newborn cherish its hills and valleys, winding channels and perpetual rainfall trying to help it move and sit and walk and perhaps someday it will dance again i am trying to take care of my mind gather it up into my arms, tenderly push away the clouds that gather and threaten to obscure the sun throw open the curtains, unleash the riotous day flood its rooms with light and the inevitability of unwavering hope i am trying to take care of my soul nurse it carefully, puckered lips towards the sky awake in anticipation for all the things that are yet to happen the may-nots, the mays, the possibilities, the junes and all of the beautiful days that are sure to follow as i push away the fury in my heart.

Ego's lullaby
Inspired by: Toilet Tisha by OutKast Spaced out Brain out In space Checkin stardust My timewaste is Just a journey to the center of my soul With the far reaches as my goal And the cold wastes as my place of solace Feelin soulless Pacin in my brain Shy away from sane My plane doesn't fly It hydroplanes on to other planes of existance With no assistance Sliding on a rainy runway It's a jetplane with a runaway Who close his mouth When he's got the most to say But not enough hope to pray He implodes A black hole That warps him Warms him Like frostbite Deadeyed all night But he's never felt more alive Lost in the thoughts of another life Based barely in reality Impressionism over realism Is it really healin him or killin him? That's the question of the hour Sittin in the head till it spoils Goin sour Green eggs and ham With a side of sacrificial lamb And extra power Now imagination junkie's Feelin weak as his soul slowly Drifts back Drips back In to his irises To the land of the living While sipping with Osirises Feeling riotous While his lips split Dry with the taint Of the fountain of youth Sittin there rotting away Without use Tryna meditate without medication Racing to slow down Before the "Why?" in the road Cuz once he gets there He knows He'll never know

Unnerving Nirvana (Or Momentary Reprieve)
The pulchritudinous aquatic lair, Of resplendent melancholy depth, A place damaged beyond repair, Teeming of glazed ghosts of death. Hither and yon an offed world lingers, The alluring charm of the cadaverous expanse, Where bony-ice settles deep in frigid fingers, A bloodless shore of gothic romance. Eyes burning with a copper glance, Vermilion waves wash over the bare sea-bed, Waking the argenteous sand lance, From their hide-out in death's head. This oceanic God's acre, Populated by inert remains, Destroying the soul of a ballad-maker, Hang-out of many sins and life-banes. My languid, crippled stony heart, Floating in this burgundy desert, In fragments shattered into pieces of ****** art, Blown away in a riotous explosion of subvert. A/N: This poem is a tribute to the thousands of forgotten lives lost under the sea.

Azrael's Aquatic Acre
at dusk above, clouds scud like loose teeth in upper gums purple-pink in twilight. a deep night, seemingly ' on pause ' as all dust tumbles from bare skin into the naked cause... our minds defunct. our minds undone. our soul's law at the very heart like all gods where the birch and elm keep lean rabbits, and stab at thee with long shadows with ashy knees and bramble rabble; a riotous acreage of predation and escapeful providence far beyond fences and subdivisions where men add by dividing and knit with schisms... where the earth has fangs in the ocean and long nights. your answer is sovereign and hunts foxes with your eyes

Do not listen      to my words                or      riotous prophecies      of a world on fire                                                            I am       the son of Cassandra,                 a shining bird            not to be believed If I am to tell you that I see the monsters of our      suppressed dreams     come to bathe us             in flame Heed not a word             of it For the gods have    declared me a liar and I am not allowed           to tell the truth Only to give short     flights of fancy               with which     you may entertain                yourself If I am to tell you that I      see the worlds cities in peace - Prepare for                   the worst       For I am the son            of Cassandra,           a shining bird        not to be believed

Cassandra
When the sun glowed warm with brighter sheen The Earth that lay inert in drunken sleep Woke up suddenly to greet the glorious dawn Casting aside the blanket of fluffy wool Beams of light thawed and melted the icy crust Leaving the land, bare, bright and new A clean slate for life to make a fresh start And give our Earth a lovely face lift As winter slouched away in staggering steps Spring, came down gracefully on dancing feet Like an ingenious wizard with the Mida’s touch Turning everything into glittering green n’ gold So awesome it is to watch with widening eye The first burgeoning of life with the kiss of spring Every tree n’ every shrub, dressed in sudden sprout of leaves And every plant and every bough bursting into newer buds Daffodils on wayside nodding in blooms of gold Pansies and daisies springing close to passing heels The laburnum and lilacs, getting ready to burst into bloom Flowers yellow, red and blue on every fence and field Butterflies flitting round and round on colorful wings And exotic blooms in gentle breeze swinging their heads The birds that ere migrated to warmer climes Coming back once more to fill the aerial space Sparrows merrily twittering around tiled eaves The robin springing, throwing a livelier note The lark disappearing into the sky of fleecy clouds The swallows shooting out into giddy heights The feathered minstrels, filling the air in riotous rings And Nature covering the Earth in quilts of lovely designs Lovers leave their fireside hearths and coming out To ramble through country paths, hand in hand Oh! Spring has come to wipe away the frosty tear And fill the hearts with overwhelming cheer Let us join this array of happy crowd And sing a song of joy with this mirthful brood

Lovesome Spring
When the sun glowed warm with brighter sheen The Earth that lay inert in drunken sleep Woke up suddenly to greet the glorious dawn Casting aside the blanket of fluffy wool Beams of light thawed and melted the icy crust Leaving the land, bare, bright and new A clean slate for life to make a fresh start And give our Earth a lovely face lift As winter slouched away in staggering steps Spring, came down gracefully on dancing feet Like an ingenious wizard with the Mida’s touch Turning everything into glittering green n’ gold So awesome it is to watch with widening eye The first burgeoning of life with the kiss of spring Every tree n’ every shrub, dressed in sudden sprout of leaves And every plant and every bough bursting into newer buds Daffodils on wayside nodding in blooms of gold Pansies and daisies springing close to passing heels The laburnum and lilacs, getting ready to burst into bloom Flowers yellow, red and blue on every fence and field Butterflies flitting round and round on colorful wings And exotic blooms in gentle breeze swinging their heads The birds that ere migrated to warmer climes Coming back once more to fill the aerial space Sparrows merrily twittering around tiled eaves The robin springing, throwing a livelier note The lark disappearing into the sky of fleecy clouds The swallows shooting out into giddy heights The feathered minstrels, filling the air in riotous rings And Nature covering the Earth in quilts of lovely designs Lovers leave their fireside hearths and coming out To ramble through country paths, hand in hand Oh!

Across and abound to the sounds of fire, they lurch and leap toward the river bend. The twilight is thunderous and bold, a fragmented frown upon this calamity of calamities. It's jagged, smooth streaks of light passing judgement from the heavens above. God himself looks on. Bright Blues to blend with Grim Greys upon such an all encompassing canvas of green. I hadn't known the extent in power of the color Red before this night, in overpowering; in swallowing up, smothering. Exploding in iridescence and irony, in trite translucent tragedy. It sinks into the ground. As it sinks into the bones of myself and my posterity. I shivered and clutched my chest, that my heart did still beat. Noticing to my relief, it was thudding quite audibly amongst the quiet stir of grass and leaves beneath my feet. It was then I noticed the haunting silence of it all. I was alone. But I was not alone, my eyes could see the smoke rise, they could almost feel the bullets whip through the wind. The chill of which caressed my skin in sensation. But sounds of gunfire, bombs bursting, yells yelping, the riotous roar of it all, were absent as a shadow. My veins turned to ice, my skin to stone. In one particularly magnificent mingling of light, in one irradiating instant; I stumbled as sound met my deaf ears. Lightning and Fire danced in the sky. In this soulless shimmer, the slow shuttering lens of humanity captured the essence of something much beyond the present frame of existence. Breaking glass and pouring out of corners, a transcendental photograph. Reaching out through the pages of time to be acted out in accents yet unknown, by peoples yet unborn, to scream with insoluble resolve. The heart of man beats as one, we shall overcome.
