"rumbles" poems
They ask me if I still love you. I blush, grin and say; of course. Why? Because your eyes are of the most utter ocean blue, but other days they're the currents of the stormy grey sea. I see a current of salty water, deep, once blue, but now a faded grey. I see a bundle of darkened grey clouds in the distance, and the thunder rumbles from your irises, and I hear it pound in the back of my mind. I wonder if you knew. I see a spark of lightening flash, only once in a while, while you look at her. My throat corrodes with bile. She says she sees green demons lurking in the depth of my own ocean currents, and I shrug. What am I supposed to say? I know you think about her. Night and day. The hardest part, is a generic, old saying. If you love them, you let them go. If they love you enough to stay, or to come back, you never let go. But you haven't come back.

They ask me if I still love you.
Upon the dark night, striking three; A tick representing each step in time, but time overwhelmed by a trinity of peace, and a plan greater than one's wildest dreams. As the trees clap their praises unto a summer wind, and waves flood the skies with their roaring rumbles of exaltation, a bird sings unto the dark night her song, unique, sweet, and free-spirited Another beauty upon the night, a tulip, blossoming, not fully grown, in admiration of this free spirit, the bird. The tulip observes from a distance the song the bird sings A praise, a never ending thankfulness "Thank You for the trees, Thank You for the waves, And thank You for me," the bird sings. In awe of the song bird, the tulip longs to grow, to blossom, to fly, to sing; Oh, the joy, the praise, the song she'll bring when fully grown to exemplify her thanks to the three But, Hold! The clock ticking three, a breath He takes. The songs of beauty the bird once sang are silenced more than a whisper Oh, dear, wilting Tulip; she wonders, "Why?" she misunderstands, "Why has the bird's song been hushed?" Oh, so joyful with praise, the songs she sang, but now unto another Audience, unheard by the flower; However, the sun rises, the flower realizes, A new day is upon her. The trees clap their praises unto a summer wind, and Waves flood the skies with their roaring rumbles of exaltation, Just like any other day. Partaking in full bloom overnight, grown, she hears the call of three: You're unique, sweet, and your free-spirit will sing, for the steps of time past quicker than the steady rhythm of that clock ticking Fly free, song bird, Your legacy will only grow sweeter with time As the bloom of a tulip smiles and praises the One unto which your song once thrived.

A Story About a Beautiful Songbird

breathing the turquoise like lavender, and sipping the blue summer. bitter cold clouds glide and morph lava lather, floating whispers cut by sweet pineapple sunshine. soon, a moment, now rhythms ripple the sky like skipping stones we jump the music like puddles splashing in the frequencies. cobalt bass rumbles the earth hungry, pumps the air with springing spirals pushing and pulling the senses, reverberating through cells. heavy mud humming, stomping echoes through our atoms dizzy; balancing tuned body to innate electricity the fizz of circulating lemonade energy. we jump the music like puddles splashing in the frequencies. strawberry melodies spilling ribbons, dolphin leaps of the spaces inbetween beats, lines of colours overlapping, colliding, mixing, merging, blending in with the forest. washing over souls the life fire sparkles like a clear water cleansing harmonies, sound waves crashing against inertia. phosphorescent glow of re-charged love for the world, for being, animation flowing through burnt smoky ashes of sapphire charcoal skies; dimmed radiation of chlorophyll emerald days. the smell of salt, dry bark, fluffy carbon mists, trembling lights softening the eyes' grip on outlines, loosening lies. watching the cycles of patterns tumbling colours through a mill rotating, and the silence of listening when the music comes to an end.

Synesthesia
when the moon has finally succumbed to the flirtatious will of night and even stars grow weary of guarding peaceful slumbers the sneaky temptress twilight makes her move and slithers through my window as she glides into my bed, I can tell she is up to her old tricks my eyes forget to close and my mind forgets to sleep the darkened outlines of my room crumble as each breath escapes my lips and now I remember where I've hidden you, blue eyed boy how strange a sensation to remember your body a rekindled sullen mood your arms are a heavy warmth against my waist and your legs are clumsy giants that wrestle with mine all night yes, this is how it feels when your cheek nuzzles the nape of my neck and even here, your breathing rumbles like a storm rolling out to sea Your heavy exhales compose a sensual melody as each crescendo crashes against my clavicle I'm at the mercy of your lingering shadow I'm the casualty of the pressure in this room I want to stop breathing because I feel that I could make love to you in the blackened air my hands trace out your handsome face and place two gems for your brilliant eyes and caress the sharp angles of your cheek your lips were delicate so I use only my right hand I'd give myself to you so honestly this time but here, loneliness slowly swells your lungs a tar that coats the lining of your throat you are a cruel asphyxiation brought on by the mystic twilight herself but her ruse won't last forever I'll drift off into the sweet solace of sleep and ponder on how you love me more when my bed is empty, blue eyed boy

I love your eyes. Wet, filled with desire. I love them most when they stare back into mine. Not a word needs to be said. A breath between us two, Each craving met, my eyes trailing yours. The way they bend shut when your legs stretch out and your arms wrap around me. The natural curling of toes When your eyes widen before closing tight. I love looking into your eyes. This feel good feeling that interrupts each kiss. A gasp filled behind closed eyes. A roaring ****** that rumbles behind them. The arch felt across the small of your back. Bridging the gap of a swaying bridge. Your body in the comfort of my hands. A soft kiss below your temple. Welcoming your shyness. Those eyes that follow the movement of your head. I love the way you look at me and bite your bottom lip. Welcoming the audience of my eyes. Catching every glimpse, Not a thought held back behind those eyes. Our passion held between us two. Lost in the rumble of how your body trembles. Over and over, Until your fast asleep

Asleep
The mirrior is my adversary. My eyes variance, what others don't see. To the word I'm adequate, crowning , spotless, and skilled Every morning I wake up, get ready and cover my lips in red majestic mac Red lipstick seems to illuminate confidence in the eyes of many, but to me it is merely a pigmented shield of secrets. Humorous isn't it? Every unmarred life, seeks to relive its pigments Fears, self-doubt, imperfection. Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall.. Who's the thinnest of them all... The sound of battle rumbles Conscious at wrists ends Bawling in me Fat, Fat, Fat, Yours tricks are foul, you tauntful mind Vision is blurred from reality, Oh mind how you love to frolic Your sheer joys leave me unpieced, The snickering of my mirror, Damages my frame. Sorrowing fades my red lipstick Pigments revealed, Vulnerable, Unworthy, Marred to the bone Quickly I learned that the mind is the enemy, filled with con Staring in my mirror and all I see is fat. Red lipstick always seems to fade by the end of the night.

Red Lipstick
Today, we woke again, nestled in our sheets and covers. Our limbs were tangled with utmost comfort in Our usual, beautiful, morning snuggle. Sometimes, I fear that I will be taken in our dreams, and I won't wake to hear your parted-lips-and-nose-rumbles. But today, we woke again, clinging in each other's arms for warmth, Our sleepy stares struggle, to stay open in Our usual, beautiful, morning snuggle. And I know that this is exactly how I'd like to wake again tomorrow. in Our usual, beautiful, morning snuggle.

Morning Snuggle
i kept my hatches battened but that didn't stop your love from barreling toward me like a runaway freight train with faulty breaks. and god almighty, did we crash. you came to a screeching halt at my doorstep and i didn't know what else to do but let you in. you looked so cold. we did not start with a spark but a full-on fire. i told myself i wouldn't fall, instead i jumped. our sinking frames somehow morphed into life preservers, and we managed to keep each other's heads above the waves. we had seemingly saved one another. you tossed your pills, i flushed my razors, and for a while that was enough. but we learned the hard way that even the deepest love can only keep the storm clouds in your mind at bay for so long. eventually our cracks began to show. missed calls and silent hours built houses of cards that were blown down by too many miles. we hardly ever smiled anymore. my hands were sieves and yours were sand. i want to break the hands of the clock that cursed us with this bad timing. i have mourned all the hours i won't ever have with you. i have felt the thunder that rumbles in my lungs when i reminisce about the memories we'll never make. the moment i realized i would never wake up beside you an atom bomb went off in the center of my chest. but the radiation is what's killing me. the life is being drained from me here in the wake, in the ache of your absence. but i won't beg. i will live out the remainder of my days tormented by wondering if maybe in another world our love is perfect and neither of us bleed. - m.f.

please, i beg you, take care of yourself. when your stomach rumbles, eat. when your eyelids droop, sleep. and when your voice quivers, find a comfortable spot and cry, cry your little heart out. but when you're done, dry your eyes, occupy yourself, and know in your heart that you are better than that. do not be sad, be angry. become a roaring fire and burn the memory of all those who have wronged you. do not let the leaky faucets **** you. do not drown in a bucket of tears. light it on fire. pour it out. throw it. scream **** you" to sadness because you are so much better than it. let it out, let it out, let it out, then be done. because yes love, right now your sadness feels quite heavy but the truth is that it is just a paperweight. learn to turn the page.

a love letter to myself
though deep he sleeps sometimes, combining this exhaustive restorative of old age, that alternates with a restlessness rest of old age ~ the brain's nightly self-cleansing, both necessities absolute so he be unsurprised, by a parallel process, occurring beside him, as woman rumbles, mumbles, all the while reenacting the things we dare not acknowledge in the waking  hours, much too painful, much to fearfully real unreal, but, best unrealized she bolts upright, looks around, attempting to cross back, looking, investigating, ascertaining time and place, localizing her orientation, while assessing external+imagined dreamt threats, till satisfied sufficient that whatever dreamt, realized or dreamisized, before, going prone once-more the watch man observes, the critical threat level, doesn't approach the red line, not requiring hands-on interventions, and relieved, that she has expunged and expelled the mind's many molecules of memories, true or false, real or revisionary, making clean white tissued neuron+cell for the morrow and thus he reminds himself, that he be watch man, observing, uninterfering, is too, is also, a definitive infinite only love poetry

The Watch Man /She Ascertains
I am an italicized remark, your spicy punctuation; I am your steamy satisfaction, your permanent vacation. A unique innuendo, a read between the lines; I am a story like no other as I lick between your thighs. from Cosmo, The New Yorker; A romantic gentleman lover. A sweet wine you taste-test and lick around my lips, I am a kiss you can't resist- a naked sweat, a seductive bliss. I am the palm that stings the skin, a ***** spank than burns within. I am a moaning, seeping ****** that rumbles with percussion. I am your emphasized description although no adjective does justice.

A Read Between The Lines
Her eyes shine like undisturbed dew drops hovering at the gentle fingertips of young moss on the northern bark of a white cedar tree under a lazy morning sun. Spear points of obsidian pierce the disc: banished from the core of a volcano scorched by a molten heart and choking on onyx soot. The dawn warmth filters through, carried by a serene and wafting breeze. It illuminates the pleasant, tickling greenery, bringing to light the depth of her irises. Fire belches from the mountain's stomach, and the flame ignites a gleam. Her gemstone eyes shine as though the embers have been captured within. At the base, there is the earth: firm and dark and cool. Interlocking underbrush layers fawn with chestnut overtaken but not undermined by powerful streaking tree trunks. The rim is built of force and rumbles with strength. A cast of bronze is seething and glowing. Her intensity blazes as sun spots deep within ancient amber. She is as her eyes are an indigo inferno: seldom and elegantly alive.

Indigo Inferno
You carve a doll out of wax and curse it with voodoo. Candles in the sun burn with her soft skin. Oh, she is hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. But you don't want them to know- the pleasure of watching her melt. You think she was stolen and passed around, so you stick nails in her heart. Pity takes your soul and the bit of it you put into her hole. Plugged with metal against your wall. Hold a lighter to her chest. Bleed her out. Keep her hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Don't leave your toys out again. Practice voodoo every day. You imagine her nose growing, her eye glowing with malice. Hold the lighter to her face. She's lost her head. She still has lovely legs part them to taste fear. Don't want her to run away. Hold the lighter to her feet. Her tummy rumbles with lust. Silence it. Leave her hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Voodoo master but what good are you? You own nothing but wax puddles.

Today heard I a train, while I smoke my cigarette, I heard a train. The rumbles came trundling over mossing steel street bars, the hooves of an iron horse shattering glass floors- pebbles bickering  like stone woodpeckers on the grounds to come. The wind shudders, and apologizes for the frost on the leaves, the cracks in the ground and the holes in the sky, my cigarette part blur, awkwardness so comfortable, this plastic train i recreate, moments in-between, where we lay down to day-listen. The kinsmen that forgot call blacksmith, scared with his welded skin, protection in battle, drunken dichotomy, a hero ***** dans l’amour. As great the fall of king, the fall of next in line. The only thing to have moved quicker with age, time. Lest we forget, the blacksmith here reside;(unfinished) While the angel hath walk, with long grey and black web moth wings, stalking its sleeping prey, his eyes wide open back, watching the angel pace, infesting the air with despicable knots, its dangerous to stare, but a contest never started is a contest never won, and into the eyes of hell the blacksmith hast stared- to the foot of his bed. Where a three headed dog flap its ice wings to keep hell cold. These nights in particular had been an awful one, and again the tapping, again the train.

Blacksmith-
*Between the night and daylight,      As twilight begins to shower, Comes a lull in the day's preparations,      Cherished as the Kittys' Hour. I hear in the kitchen beside me,      The patter of tiny feet, Rumbles of varying motors      With "meow's" gentle and sweet. Leaping from counter with agile grace      On my shoulder with a purr; Sail grave Thomas and sweet Lady Jane,      And Susan of golden fur. A "meow," and then a long silence,      I know by mischievous eyes, They are scheming and musing together,      To vanquish my weary sighs. With sudden dash from the hallway,      Tortie bounds into my arms! Felines of all colours sit starring,      Delighting me with their charms. Frolicking with skillful ease,      Tossing and batting their catnip-mouse; If I run to escape, they surround me,      They appear to overflow the house. Suffocating me with their kisses,      Furry paws patting my face; And though they have torn the kitchen blinds,      They dazzle me with their grace. I hug you all close in loving arms,      And will n'er let you depart, Nor ****** you dears out to coyotes,      For you each have won my heart. And here shall you dwell forever,      Cherished more each golden day; Till this glad house fall into ruin,      And I in dust shall decay.*                  ~Hilda~

The Kittys' Hour.
dandelion eyes, rose petal lips counting down the seconds until our next kiss like rolling thunder, impatience rumbles through me because even wrapped in your arms, I finally feel free the time passes as slow as the color of your skin honey, sweet, honey… oh, how I yearn to drink you in and as the sun sets on yet another lonely night I delight in the way it peeks through the blinds rays of gold shimmer in, finding rest upon my cheek all I feel is your warmth and on my heart, havoc wreaks for even in this golden hour — the time that reminds me most of you — eons will pass  before I am once again close to you

golden hour
The arrival of the night on distant shores, completes the cycle of relentless waning hours; In circular repeat of day's end glories, we softly whisper life's reflective stories. With moonlit skies as constant company, our feelings caught in wondrous reverie; And love is but a boastful source of care, when suddenly the sky grows dark and bare. But in the swirling essence of the night, we set about to make our memories right; In tossing sway the rumbles of the waves, allow us to submit to what we've craved. Approaching dawn with sunlight from above, finally satiated by passion's whirlwind love; Our shadows fall like twins upon the beach, as knowing smiles creep gently 'cross our cheeks.

Silhouettes on Sand
The bus rumbles on, it is an over crowded one - not an unusual sight - she stands in the space reserved for women, there's hardly any room to breathe. The broadcaster on radio shows off her gift of the gab, a popular film song follows; a gush of wind through the window brings along smoke, dust and other such components of 'city-air'. She looks out to see impressive malls, entrances to which, witness beggars pursuing well dressed gentry, in the hope of a penny or two; billboards advertise latest discount offers appealing to her consumerist instincts; constant honking of vehicles, music blaring from an auto nearby - these are common sounds she is accustomed to. The bus halts with a jolt, she steps down, tries to make her way, through the crowd avoiding hawkers lunging at her from every side, eager to make sales; the smell of pakodas fills the air, autos carrying seven or eight passengers limp away, surreptitiously, at the sight of khaki clad men. Out of the blue, an elbow knocks into her chest, she turns to look at the lout - lecherous eyes mock at her impotent fury - she mouths standard abuses, walks away as if unruffled. For this was not the first instance, "Won't be the last either.", she thinks at the back of her mind, her heart chooses not to agree though. She moves on, pushing, shoving, cursing her way through 'Battleground India'.

When the rain comes I can't help but smile Because its mending my cracks all the while. When the sky rumbles I may wrap a blanket close But the lightening is the best dose The clouds are gray and the winds are a band of terror I just have one wish,that this bad weather will break the mirror

Downfall she claims Dripping in disease Her dress ripped Trees dying Holes cover the seams Tattered Sewage covered Disgraced Ugly Taking her vitality The mass living upon her soil Population at a high Charging her for corruption Her hair cut In shambles Uneven proportioned Greed is the man in lead Unfairly held to shame Her belly rumbles Earthquakes Crack her skin Aching Oozing her blood Tsunamis wiping out existence She violently Throws tantrums A twister destroying houses Seeking attention Under validated Unnoticed for exotic jungle humanity Innocence Her music lifts The mountain breeze Sagebrush rustles Birds whisper Squirrels leaping Her captivating body sings Weak man made her break Small art gone Ice caps melting into the abyss Taking scraps Leftover bits Her soul Missing Stipping her clothing ******* her gold Her shirt selfishly torn Naked she became Her animals hungry Oceans sickened Our anguish Is revenge Knocked out She's becoming manipulated belief She's in debt to the population Mother will reclaim Her dynasty We the people will be left In emptiness

I used to feel stress as some others do I’d cry and pout and usually eat the stress away Gaining 5, 10, 15 pounds in the process But at what point does stress become too much?

Calories increased by 60-75% Phase 4- Immense Stress too high to handle comfortably Functional human abilities begin to cease Like a paralyzing disease Lies like not feeling well begin to find their way into play through each and every day Not only is the issue stressful but the thought of eating becomes impossible Now more problems creep in with the deep dive swim of an eating disorder side show Eating pattern: Crippling loss of appetite. Calories decreased by 90% I digress to address the source of my stress A world I thought I knew and had nothing left to do but ride the wind with my sweetheart But things fall apart yet the world still spins and at the end of the day the side I’m fearful of wins And now I’m alone and scared of what’s next I just sit here with empty stomach rumbles hoping for your text

When you shed that chrysalis of clothing Releasing the dragonfly wings of your longing Wholly among the sanctity of your skystrung ribs Your hips gyrating on the revolutions of the moon The astronomer in my belly burns to look up to the sky And see you spreading yourself among the singing night My fingers, matches skywriting The contours of your body With the lingerings of fire Nails soft scratching the runes of desire Among the hidden temples of your skin A secret language you twistup and rumble In like the sea swallowing a storm Inviting me to wade in your waters Till the lighting comes To reunite you with the heavens Let me lick a long crusade From summit of spine down The long whirling dervish of your legs Relight wildfires only to douse them in all The tsunami of your wet And wash you in the convergence of thunder As it rumbles among the fault lines of your bones Till we rattle the pearly gates loose And quake the caverns of hell Grind yourself upon me into Something so much Sweeter then stardust Break your body open Into a firefly and ignite Upon the rough embers of my wings This friction will elicit a diction Spoken only in vowels and the And in the crescent arch of your spine As we sling ourselves skyward as fireworks To rupture open the night Suffocate me on the whirlwind mane of your hair There is a lioness behind those lips waiting to devour me A sacred hunting upon moonlight to take me in the dark Don’t you see All of this is yours The rumble of the earth The heavy breath of the heavens The match The candle And the sweet rush of the burn
