"sensitively" poems
Women are born with heavy feathered wings Hands that hide starlit craters Celestially they spin in infinity and find each other Stroking the softness, in awe at the wonder of the unashamed mystique That perpetuates newly hatched faces A world without the incessant need for reassurance Which towers intimidatingly over the forest border Small ordinances that keep themselves airless No longer striving for the greater force of flight Clipping away their feathers with garden shears, hosing down the blood Tuscan architecture abandoned countless ages ago Ancient in idea and aesthetic I’ve wandered many miles to reach such exotic visions that have been dead for so long The heads of kings lined up on the edge of a waterfall Their bodies still holding onto the swords they clipped their wings with long ago A little further, a river emerges and spills cold water from the azimuth of God There was a communicator present at the time of cleansing, unbeknownst to me To accept ones sins is to be cleansed of them, don’t you agree? He asked this with shaking shoulders, his robes unraveling to reveal the scars on his chest One for each pectoralis I looked away in tragedy I enter the wooden gate, into the Macedonian fortresses of old My torso has been replaced with a harp, which I feel these princes pluck so sensitively I hear the timber echo throughout my chest and vibrate in my throat My back has merged without consent to a beast that bends backwards The harp strings have been torn I am now mute Raising the weary head of the sleeping dog and the sleeping disdain I slept in an isolated piece of land untouched by human hands And sank into the forest floor In which the grass and all living creatures decided I had left the physical form My eternal resting place

Aunt Lottie had a slow and careful walk every step could jar the delicate balance of the fragile grand piano she had swallowed. It was no ordinary instrument it was entirely made of crystal which added to the fears of its disturbance or destruction by the simplest slip or stumble or missed footing on a step. It was a slight inconvenience she had taken in her stride. Matters concerning the said piano were only discussed in hushed tones on Wednesday afternoons and only with her dearest nephew, Ludwig who sensitively seemed to understand the precious nature of imagination and the tickling discomforts of digested furniture and such things as fancy may create.

Bavarian Aunt
On a vehicle bed I voyage, wearing headphones which lead the way. Repelling neighbors screams, these jolting sounds travel through my body, breaking locks and knots. Unraveling the fabric across time and space. Is there anybody out there that feels the music flow sensitively ? I enter myself more deeply, I lose myself to the voices and words of chemistry. I lay in ecstasy frequencies. Becoming one with musical melodies.

The Violence of Blossoming
"DRUNK IN LOVE." Gradually I'm getting possessed, obsessed by thy love--craft, emotionally flew his heart reaching out to her's. He's intoxicated drunk in love. Lost in the lovesome thought of her's. His heart is detained underneath the water of her soul. So we're sensitively soul mates. We met as 2 rivers confluences. Indescribe-able what these mean. #C9_fm

DRUNK IN LOVE
He woke up bathed in moonshine Sleepy Appalachian mountain eyes Fading autumn honey liquid gold Into the white background noise of reality He always did have one foot in, one foot out A ghost to those that he let see Physical boundaries ignored, retired Weary bones begged him to slip back into the comfort of oblivion But for him sleep was ever elusive, a tease Racing over lush valleys, dead seas and fertile plains His thoughts are boundless Synthesizing emotional code into poetic expression He must pull it all together somehow Beats and rhythms sparkle off the edge of his perception They rarely paused long enough to remember But he always did Calloused hands prove a life of grunt work His dreams had been so much more complex Weaving through the atmosphere, linking fully with the cosmos Lines whisper across his flesh Roadmaps ****** and impulsive Sensitively attuned to the pulsing energy around him Shaping it into flourished verse He is the sun I merely the moon

Bystander
Random always are birds sitting on a wire, Their smelly stains scattered on my truck. Random are our minds thinking, Friendships, Loves happening, wealths,winning and losing. Random are births,Lives and their purposes final, Faiths,their select gods and their nirvanas ultimate. Random are the winds blowing,the waves smashing, The clouds raining, fiery volcanoes and fires burning. Random is death physical, for us and all our stars, Their babies, milky ways,galaxies,universes and all. Random ever is a fixed time and space,Unknown now, but with a certainty terrible and Hope,oh, so wonderful! Random thus I struggle, for a comprehension orderly, Sensitively, and hoping for a final destiny, pre-ordained!

HOPE,RANDOMLY PRE-ORDAINED.
He gave a picture exhibition, Hiring a little empty shop. Above its window: FREE ADMISSION Cajoled the passers-by to stop; Just to admire - no need to purchase, Although his price might have been low: But no proud artist ever urges Potential buyers at his show. Of course he badly needed money, But more he needed moral aid. Some people thought his pictures funny, Too ultra-modern, I'm afraid. His painting was experimental, Which no poor artist can afford- That is, if he would pay the rental And guarantee his roof and board. And so some came and saw and sniggered, And some a puzzled brow would crease; And some objected: "Well, I'm jiggered!" What price Picasso and Matisse? The artist sensitively quivered, And stifled many a bitter sigh, But day by day his hopes were shivered For no one ever sought to buy. And then he had a brilliant notion: Half of his daubs he labeled: SOLD. And lo! he viewed with queer emotion A public keen and far from cold. Then (strange it is beyond the telling), He saw the people round him press: His paintings went - they still are selling... Well, nothing succeeds like success.

He moves them forward so sensitively. Palms spread: firmly gently, shielding ushering To the front Each small dark group with grieving wreathes. As they advance he swings behind another -Almost jaunty light he moves - Till time is right, and then again They go to place against the stone More flowers.

Big Man with White Gloves (VJ Day 2010)
You disappoint me in so many ways. So far from everything I ever wanted. How is it you come to me like candy. Unwrapped you're only rotten fruit.   I must be a predictable person.   Stable and empathetic. Those around me up and down.   Vindictive and petty. All I see are the better option if I were they. Simple like turn left or turn right.   Why do people act this way. And underestimate a valuable connection. I am valuable.   I treat you with love and compassion. Raw and sensitively. Like the liquid gold flowing through the earthly depths.   Supporting your every move and fault. But now you show disinterest and disdain. I lived for your smile.   And you bring me pain.   Many will never appreciate my value.

I am valuable
Only few miles apart, Its been a couple days, Since I have seen your face, All I can do is imagine it,. I miss you to where my stomach hurts, My heart skips a beat whenever I see a car like yours drive past, Thinking constantly about your embrace, The way you kiss my face, You always tell me I am beautiful, You say i'm your angel, I miss your voice, I miss gazing into your eyes, Deep and blue, My eyes are brown, Not as perfect as yours but they see you so clearly, I feel home sick even though i'm under the roof of where I live, I am at complete comfort when you cuddle up to me, I love the way you look at me, You touch me so sensitively, Almost as if you're afraid I will break, Although you say my heart is strong, I gave it to you, Which is why it is that way, You held it together with care and love, I feel sick without you.

Love Sick
Often, one young in ripened youth will fall in love With such a glowing heart to flutter at fair Red lips, to meet and touch another sensitively enough, To look and dream in eyes so rare, Turning to take the others' hands Floating as a stream into trickling tears Like a flower with dew on finest strands. Their golden hair, caught by the luminous moon, appears Now mirrored like their own reflected faces Beaming, following each other in each other's dream, Understanding the beauty and innocence that graces Where they meet in a startling gleam. Entering a non-ageing youth of whispered time The lovers' hearts entwine to rhyme. ©Jack Aylward (Published in the Scotia Review magazine, no.24 edition, Summer 2001).

Love Is Young (Sonnet 1)
The Stratocaster was dripping with emotional intensity, whilst my head vibrated against the window of the bus during a deep and innocent slumber. We fret so much my friend. If I want to adjust the outcome, then I am simply, yet sensitively, required to turn the relevant key. I fully understand the beat of the red-light area where tragedy and pleasure have disloyal intercourses, and the texture of its currencies are likened to the intricate task of baking cakes in front of a shiny chrome bumper. Skillful finesse is required if the recesses of our soul are to be tantalised. So, let us celebrate the night.

Forbidden Permission
her opulent presence is beautifully crafted on the night of the mind her tattooed form elegantly painted sensitively but oh so erotically lip rings and candy necklace feast for the lusts but she knows your eyes are on the plunging neckline she is a deeply written romance novella she is a poem of darker daylight longing within her good girl image to be as bad as bad girl can be beautifully written in that smile written in the sunshine of the opulent soul

thrift and opulent
Chattering teeth Quivering bones Splintering veins Unconscious zones In and out Ghostly and pale Pain and terror Weak and frail Spiraling, Buckling down to the floor Worrying, Panicking about why I'm sore This crucial sharp feeling deep down inside Kicks the hot heavy tears from my eyes I don't remember being pealed off the ground But I appreciate you being around Personally stripped of all my senses Creating a fear so sensitively severe Trembling hands that want to be held Wishing desperately for you to come near Splitting headache Weary eyes Drifting conscious Hidden cries Pillow's comfort Seeking sleep Choking sobs Counting sheep Scared to death for what's to come What if I never wake Thoughts filled with death and dying This night I might not make Sleeping sleeping sleeping forever A dream that never ends This has never occurred before Scaring the **** out'v my friends Scary thoughts Problem'r listless Perpetual possibilities Scared shitless

Scared shitless
Your bow is all elbow, a flank of forearm that is supporting and simply cradling my imagination where a dozen or so lifeboats hang off starboard in case things get too much I, captained by your sturdy arms, nip up to the crow’s nest for a sip of spiced *** for a bit of warmth and perhaps more— a full beard that reminds me so much of Darwin I feel certain I am on the Beagle and hungry to shoot some lame birds one by one! Your shoulder where I can sleep forever— come sharks and eat my catch while I whisper poetry, summon ghosts and **** off Hemingway, whose macho act was betrayed by his pain-filled eyes and sensitively painted one-word skies You, my aching hull in human form, rocking gently as the sea slows our progress knowing we are wishing away time too often the working of the gyro prevents my seasick blushes we do not yet know each other that well but all is fine as I see it, your arms really are made of shipworthy wood and beneath deck, where I will sleep tonight above Atlantis’s cesspit, we just bounce off each wave, getting closer and closer to the moon but not yet arrived, has sleep come too soon for me tonight? I’ll rest and stretch and groan like weary ****** do once Surya helps me turn out the light —Yes, once my ship did start to sink. I called until my throat was gone and ended up swimming a good distance until crucially a boat came by and pulled me out of the sea. I remember thinking: I should feel more grateful to be alive. I went back to where it sank and retrieved a few personal items, then I sat on the beach a wept as if the whole thing had just hit me.

THE DEVIL'S **** He straps her to the table before him (a sacrifice on an altar) of the Arrogance of his Ignorance. Turns to the tools of his trade neatly & almost piously arranged on the table behind him still stained with the chicken’s blood from this morning’s preparation bubbling in the *** ... forgotten now. He is a master Pricker as they call him about here half in awe & fear of the Witchfinder General and all his kind. He is angry at her resistance tears off the ragged burlap shift that covers her shaves her from head to pudenda examines her from top to toe with the aid of a giant magnifying glass for any blemish or birth mark (an oddly shaped wart) that will betray her in all its innocence pricking her both with the long needle and the short and ahhh... the birthmark refuses to bleed. He smiles at such an obvious sign. Her denials screaming uselessly against the locked door of his mind. but now his fingers probe sensitively searching for the Devil’s ****** concealed within her to nourish to suckle her toad familiar. And yes how proud he feels to discover hidden within her privy shaft obscured by her female ***** but not to the empirical mechanics of his fingers probing...probing as plain as the sun that goes around this Godly Earth ...the Devil’s **** And so, by this fleshly mark of being Woman she is condemned to be witch. And so it is so in these “the burning years.” I cry for her as I reclaim her from History (so many thousands of her) hold them all (in their holy terror) all such suffering beings in my arms in the dawn of this new morning keening for them stroking their hair (closing their eyes) as tenderly as if they were my child.

You like me for the me that doesn’t make your coffee strong enough the me that always seems to make you late the me that almost burns a batch of cookies the me that can't park straight to save my life the me that absolutely hates being tickled the me that takes some comments a little too sensitively the me that keeps you up too late and makes you lose sleep the me that never fully succeeds at using chopsticks the me that takes a lifetime to decide what to eat the me that insists you must trim your mustache the me that needs your shoulder to cry on the me that worries this “me” is too needy And somehow you can put your hands right on my deepest insecurities Exposing my vulnerabilities while covering me gently with love Because I know I’m safe in your arms and you make me want to believe the sweet words you say.

My muse must be a jokester or a **** who’s starving at my fluffy luscious words. My musing is so sensitively sick I doubt my muse has ever talked to birds. But when my muse is gone they sing to me and he returns to tell me what they’ve said, but makes no sense and speaks predictably of seasons, love, the grief for long-lost dead. I guess my muse is old and out of touch; for everything he says is nothing new and where the secrets are, there aren’t much, with him i win the hearts of just a few. I love to blame my muse, though i’ve come short or quickly come, his unrevised cohort.

musing
Tan chapped bodies littered out across the beach Sprawled across the sand, hot on their backs, the sun warm on their face Soaking up the radiation to warm their water chilled bones Crippled, painful walks, they hobble back to the chariots that bore them here Careful padded movements to soothe their aching skin Raw and sensitively hurt, they bear the rocky path home And finally I am alone

We are here in a secluded circle listening to the tone of tension in others poems fraught with livid lines laying thin layers of onion skin emotions on love hate and energetic romps of madness electric stimulation of the mind bending magic words as brittle as bone laid in technical verses so sensitively sweet to the ears tuning fork. We applaud gently afraid to be left out even if not fully comprehended of the verses so read. Whatever keeps us stuck like magnets to ritual bloodshed as flesh and blood coerce these rites of passage. We are slaves to convention. Even as I defy the dance of technical wizardry my mind frazzles at the meaning that some modern poetry exhibits and numbs me into silence. I clap hollow. © Marshall Gass.
