"spurt" poems
And your soul will be replenished once you're showered with what you crave and yearn for the most Your roots spread and dig and grow You'll spurt into the tall blades into the night sky, even Your curled petals will open to this world What do you need? Your stretched petals will tell you And so will the sun, the great source in the sky Grow and grow through the garden The garden is your home to rest to replenish You need a home You need others akin to a home Flowers need love And love you shall receive, child.

Just An Unattractive Guy
__Body__ Let me love and care for the art piece of your body- every pulsating touch of your spasms. Jumping wildly; while washing me in your spring water on top a mountain of passions. I’ll spurt within you, from its tip. And in kind; let the wetness of your lips sooth my skin. Kissed by your sensual soul, as it echoes every word of thirst, running down your throat; chasing after every breath we lose in a moment.                        _Still, let us not love in haste._ __Amazon Queen__ I gaze at you, as my sprouting rose in bloom. But not something so delicate; she is tall, shapely, and sturdy— my Amazon Queen that keeps me in the centre of her rainforest. As she lets my words water her floret by their tip- its warmth and gentleness spoke of a love so deep and fulfilling. __Foot fetish__ Oh, how she stimulates my eyes, as I make out with her eye’s persuasion; my mind often rehearses how I’ll love her in it’s imaginations- my mind’s perfect simulation; For our desires are much sweeter, by every bite of her smooth chocolate skin I adore her more than I would have yesterday- to quietly bless each step she’ll take tomorrow. And a reason for me to kiss her feet. __Moist__ Surely as the night is washed by the gentle rains- I have these saturated thoughts, pondering how she’ll drown me over another night’ As she could never have the most without I in the middle; her underwear feels so moist. __Climactic Prelude & Conclusion__ Would you love to experience a climactic prelude; a middle so sweet in its time; While my eyes ripen at the sight of your ripening fruit, Oh, so sweet in its time, let me capture and savour that juicy fruit, For yes indeed we had fallen in love- but let not that fruit eventually fall; From its tree, to rot off its vine; let me bite you as mine- to taste your heaven’s ecstasy; In this climactic prelude; I promise the middle is filling, and its conclusion won’t be short lived.

Where did it start but by one little cry, one mother's love, one day she will die Trees grace the land, the water at peace Visually astounding, pleasant at ease The lake was open for summer time fun Camp Crystal Lake where it begun A boy and his mother greeted each soul, welcome my friends enjoy it all. The torment started, it lasted all season, they beheaded his mother for all the wrong reasons Emboldened with fury, deep in the lake drowned by cowards, feeling no shame Each year they returned, hearing stories of the camp the man in the mask, machete in hand Not believing the myth, what shadows do lurk no hearts will be pounding, only their blood will spurt Pre-marital *** upstairs in the cabin rolling blunts on couch, look out, he's coming Naked in the shower, Alice did fall, ice pick in hand, no scream or no crawl Squeezing your eyes out or smashing your face Ask all of the counselors at Camp Crystal Lake One hundred and fifty more victims will fall This is my place, you are not welcome at all Mother, I love you, through all of the pain Hide behind my mask, my machete does reign.

I let my hands glide, slide ride up the back of your shirt Flirting finger tips slowly dance a pas stall bra slips while other fingers edge your skirt Gently waltzing the inside of your thighs sighs eyes closed as the sensations tingle and spurt Violin fingers soon find a pantiless lip slit **** where strumming fingers begin to flirt My lips start creeping down from yours slower lower until you're forced to remove your shirt Rhythmic breathing gets heavier as my lips meet your chest breast invest my tongue along outlines of your vicious curve Pressing with tongue and fingers until there is an uncontrolled moan groan hone in until resisted shivers race through before fingers insert stroking you as tongue dances its way down gently slowly violently, your quivering lips utter a shaken moan to release a blissful squirt...

Soft Hands of the Night's Guide
I started growing measuring each incremental inch in the doorway frame grinning as it clearly showed a spurt. Although my bones were aching I ran as fast as I could to the corner and back time and time again Challenging my small young frame to ache and grow And, oh, the pleasure of those growing aches as I leaped to push upward taller older. Those aches felt so good! lawrence j klumas © july 2014

Aching Bones
There’s a place, where licorice vines have climbed, Deep in the night, that only children can find; Where leaves of waxed paper on trees are hung, And what grows on the branches is sweet to the tongue. Garlands of butterscotch, chocolate, and mint, In their bright wrappers, sparkle, and glint; Bubbling springs of sarsaparilla, through the valley are poured, Washing sugar beaches with reeds of sour chord. Swedish fish swim in soda geysers with bliss, While fizzing pop-rocks spurt, spittle, and hiss. Sunset clouds of cotton candy sweep past in the sky; Trees sway in the delicious breeze that smells like apple pie. Skies will rain down skittles, when there is a storm, Pelting molasses window panes in a giant swarm; Sour gummi worms are dug up, free to take, In the grainy, nutmeg layers of the coffee cake. Carmel creams, Mary Janes, Black Jacks, and Almond Joys, Coconutties, Jawbreakers, Carmel Rolos and Long Boys-- All these grow, in lines straight as peppermint sticks, Planted in brown sugar, on fields of cinnamon toothpicks; But when the sun lets out its first ray, The entire land just melts away And children don’t remember where they’ve been, That whole night asleep, but they wake with a grin; And through the whole day, their dreams will entice, Until they visit again, the Land of Sugar and Spice. 8/9/11

Sugar & Spice
The rock slept Genghis Khan clamped fingers Over the edge of a land mass And peeled freedom away from the East The rock slept The mob beheaded a woman who aided the American Revolution Americans denied it later But every town called Marietta is named after her The rock slept A vegetarian who didn’t drink and smoke Commandeered information technology and chemical engineering To commit the biggest murder-robbery In the history of daylight and star-shine The rock slept The vegetarian cowered from justice Committed suicide like the milksop/milquetoast he was The rock slept A fourteen-year-old boy clamped his fingers Around it Aimed it at High Strength Lexan riot shields Protecting flesh, blood, and bone minimally paid Protecting shields of numbers, theories, interchangeable office holders Until he realized the futility of it Dropped the rock Turned south (or maybe north) And walked away The rock slept Snoring unheard through the next spurt of tyranny

The Sleeping Small Thing
The grey sea and the long black land; And the yellow half-moon large and low; And the startled little waves that leap In fiery ringlets from their sleep, As I gain the cove with pushing prow, And quench its speed i’ the slushy sand. Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields to cross till a farm appears; A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch And blue spurt of a lighted match, And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears, Than the two hearts beating each to each!

Meeting At Night
we were driving home taking side roads in a roundabout way. and you spotted something on the side of the road. bloodied, broken and (i assumed to be) dead. you pulled over and we inspected it. i was rather disgusted, but you picked it up and coddled it 'cause it had fur. you kept coo'ing at it and asked it what it's name was (expecting no answer) but it struggled to utter "Love". we begrudgingly decided to take it home and made a bed for it and nourished it back to health. a week later we were drinking Earl Grey by the fireplace, heard a rumbling and looked around to see it standing there looking at us. it was 7' tall and had an expression of awe, wonder, and terror as if it thought we would ****** it at any second. each night it had a different face, resembling one of your former playthings. you never called it the same name twice. a week later, it couldn't fit through any of the doorways. we always came home to plaster, paint and drywall scattered everywhere. i complained. "Love has broad shoulders", you quipped. it had grown too much for us. a week later, i spent the afternoon at the bar and you were shopping. we rendezvoused back home at 3PM. only to find a gaping hole where the front door used to be. everything inside totaled. precious collections, expensive technology, jewelry... all gone (or destroyed beyond recognition). i railed, "Love ruined EVERYTHING!!!" you seemed to take no note, kept your composure and muttered, "It always does" and just began sweeping. the next day we got a kitten from the animal shelter, and were laying in bed with it at night. i asked, "Do you think Love will ever come back?" you answered coldly, "It never does".

*******
When we first began dating, I was using you to get over someone else. I never told you because you would have gotten upset, you lovely hypocrite. I even kissed someone else while we were still dating, and it has disgusted me ever since. I never told you because you would have never spoken to me again. Before your growth spurt, I lied when we both agreed that you were definitely taller. I never told you at the time that I was 5'3" and you were 5'2". I never told you I always looked for the triangle of dots on your neck. Every ******* time. I did not like your best friend. I never told you he reminded me of a sociopath, because he was one of the biggest influences in your life. And all of your favorite songs at the time. I never told you I went home and put all of them on my iPod, just so I could impress you with how well I knew the words. When I started crying after our first time having *** I wanted you to just forget it, I was fine. I never told you I was crying because I had realized I loved you, and it made me feel free. I never told you this, because I'm not sure you would understand what I mean when I say 'free.' One time, we were in bed and you were looking so **** peaceful with your eyes closed, and I took a picture. I never told you. I never told you I was actually awake when you thought I wasn't, when you whispered into the phone, when you whispered you wanted to marry me someday. I never told you I once had a dream about what our kid would look like. I never told you about the night I counted all the tears that leaked out of me because of you. Twenty seven. No, I was definitely not okay with him watching, but I never told you that. I never told you that I was scared to speak up because I was terrified of losing you. I never told you to grow up. I never told you what I found out. I threw my necklace you gave me into the lake, and I never told you. I never told you how easy it was to fit into your warmth. And how easy it was to fall out. I never told you that I still think about you at the worst times. I guess I never told you a lot of things.

i felt your flourescent heartbeat on a ***** southern sidewalk i was staring at my own barefeet and i saw your eyes from a hole in the ground you spoke like wind through the air your words whirled above the garbage i found a corpse under the floor last year i keep my pages padlocked in the basement my stomach is a pit of decaying pipes and retching waterbongs you are a monster squid walking silent and sunk in thought i have your eyeballs in my sheets i have your memory in my bathroom mirror i have your legs wrapped around my blue veins i keep my secrets in a lump of tin and we will scatter these ashes at dawn we will fly forward on the western wind together i am the mouth of the void i can spurt unimaginable wit directly out of my skull i contain jars full of indecipherable arrangements you asked me where the rain came from and i told you we'd be frozen this way you left a message beside my pillow i heard the music of your mind

Her Rosebuds began to bloom, in the middle of the Night. As both My Hands went surfing, after it had turned Twilight. My Head rested, between Her Hills and it took Shelter, on Her Lap. My Ten fingers began tracing, the vital points of Her Map. She then carved on My Heart, each Alphabet of Her Name. Creating a new Beginning, for both Our bodies to Shame. My Hands, began their warm-ups and stopped, at Her Garden Patch, Giving My Passions a spurt and thereby lighting My Match.

Midnight Match
'Twas not normal, To see children born without wings, "O cruel sins!" The brittle women sings. Mother's hid their wingless children, Tucked them away, Ignored their wheezes from dusty, old corners, Prayed to heaven for a growth spurt, In the meanwhile, Wondering how much it would hurt.                                                                   -Firefly

Wingless Children
It had rained all night And drenched the land outright Leaving puddles and pools, Here, there and everywhere. But the morning saw The sun blazing ever more bright I watched the water Flowing silently away With no ostentation Along channels, furrows and waterways Cavities, crevices and culverts And through ditches and drains What little remained, Seeped down unnoticed Through innumerable pores unseen. As prisoners from narrow cells Suddenly released into boundless space Or troops from a garrison On a spurt of fresh attack The children shut indoors Came out in gangs To romp, jump and play. Unmindful of anything, They soon lost in a wave of giggles. But how sudden was the change! The sky over cast with dark clouds Fired out like a water cannon. Once more the rain, Cascaded down with greater vengeance Each drop weighing gallons And the silver needles pricking deep Making the children flee In directions all round Like autumn leaves Scattered by the wind! The rain continued to pour Inundating the low lying lands Oh! Mother Nature How erratic are your moods How unpredictable How like a child throwing tantrums And how quickly appeased!

On a Wet July Morn
I stood as still as I could. Trying to hold in my breath, trying to turn invisible, trying to melt into the wall I steadied myself upon. My heartbeat thumped in my ears drowning out all other sounds. Were my feet nailed to the floor by fascination? or was it disgust? The knot in my stomach laid no reliable argument to these rushing emotions. My eyes followed his hands; the way he gripped her hips, the way his fingers traced her jaw. My eyes also followed his lips; how he pressed them almost reverently against the base of her clenched neck. I watched as he inhaled her scent like he was being squeezed out of breath. She struggled against his grip. Her eyebrows knit together in an unsightly frown. She halfheartedly pushed him off her weak body. It almost looked like she didn't want to resist, but her pride pulled her away from yielding. She was shaking, her form disheveled, yet it wouldn't sway him. I felt a stinging in my eyes, that all familiar burning I experienced when I felt that twinge of paranoia. That burning paranoia that plagues me now, as my worst fears are embodied. How could she easily dismiss him like that? When I lay nights awake craving his skin, his breath, his words. I have spiraled out of view, just a faceless backdrop in his hopeless love story. How could a person hate and love so much at the same time? It just goes to show that the world doesn't work that way, it works to crush you. All these emotions spurt out at once, as a lesson for all the lucky fools watching you.

My brother doesn't see what he is doing Only calling when he wants something So needy, when I need you more than as a convenience. I cannot give you more than I have. I gave you my support when you joined the military When they discharged you for hearing loss I held your head as you cried and told me that you had no worth. I remember when you were small before your growth spurt, when people picked on you--when I picked on you. I am truly sorry, maybe it is my fault you are this way.... You are a gentle giant some days, helping disabled children ride horses or help with large workloads. Yet you treat others so badly on most days You bully our mother Cuss the man that stepped in As our own father left us I hope this is simply a phase to grow out of. You act as though you are a freak, And you must fight anyone and everyone to prove your worth. You proved to me the night that I was ***** that you can be a man. You were only ten back then, but you slung your fist at him so hard I heard bones crack. I want that man as my brother, the man I know that you are capable of being. Why are you so arrogant? Why do your friends treat you as a god because you are abnormally tall? Does it make you feel good to put others down? I hope you see the error of your ways, before you look around at all the bridges you've burned, and you suddenly realize you are on an island completely alone.

Bridge Burning Brother
the little tree took root from an acorn nut. the years passed, she watched the loggers come and go. taking her friends and family off on the big beds of the timber trucks. year after year, season after season, there she stood, winter, fall, spring, and summer, one slow grow. first she was short, barely a spurt, then she branched out, and up and up and up. the trees stood all around her, so serious, oh so silent company. however, never a mean word nor loud shout was ever heard. never any other music but for that of the birds, and the wind and the sun and the creatures walking the woodland floor, those traveling through to far distant exotic lands. at least she never heard “girl, you are some fat tree.” or was the target of any joke, “when you sit around the house, you sit AROUND the house.” nor any “you gotta do something with them leaves, they are looking like a rat’s nest. Oh i see, it IS a squirrel’s nest.” or for a stray bump or large hideous growth no one ever said, “you better go get that removed, that's one ugly lump!" years and years passed, her soul inside, couldn’t be heard, not a word. then one day, the fellows came through, looking and measuring, measuring and looking, out came the chainsaw. eyes alighting on she, on all of her tall, majestic beauty. with swift, quick work she fell, down, to the earth. loaded on the flatbed, chains wrapped securely around, engine roared to life, and she took off, racing into the darkening night. she knew tears did fall as forests thinned and were laid bare, but all she could think, all she could say, was “so long suckers! i’ll see you on broadway one day!” and so it became true, her dream of yore, it was finally in, Radio City Music Hall, she landed as the floor. night after night to her lasting delight tap dancers tapped making her sing bringing out the music in she so previously imprisoned inside, for so long. sanded and polished varnished and cleaned, her secret inner beauty finally brought to life, finally brought into the light. she beamed and sighed, every time a new star stepped on to her, to her extreme delight. any day or night, when every eye of the house, every one of the audience was riveted on she. oh what a thrill when the Radio City Rockettes did finally come out, for only for she could they dance so straight, so evenly. Sometimes i look at the woods laid bare. my heart drops low so sad i feel, a tear spills out. then i recall, the tale of this tree, the little acorn nut, how a trip to a city, made her so lastingly happy & so  very pretty!
