You bought me sunflowers last Saturday because you like the yellow orchestra we can listen to, but you do not have to direct. It plays a private concert only for you. I play a few notes here and there too, but nothing can compare to sunflowers. I compare lots of things to flowers, like your eyes. You do something to my insides I cannot explain in a metaphor to flowers. You planted a gilded seed. It grew faster than any **** more delicious than homemade irish mead. Sun shining, birds chirping, children playing- all of this- sounds like life’s decaying because you’re not next to me. You make oxygen more than a box on the periodic table. I’m not suggesting I’m unable to perform tasks without you. I’m used to ashes in my coffee cup. Your presence seems to open up cold sunflowers. You set ablaze the sun’s powers. I could go on like this for hours about the love you built; iridescent solid sunflowers

Sunflowers
I'll be eaten alive one day: one day, i see it in my mind so close to closure along an empty street late at night (owls just retired and birds not yet up), orbs of light tethered to tall electric poles cast dappled circles on cracked pavement; illumination and safety (for that two metre radius). Stepping between them like a girl child on stones across a garden, I anticipate each missed step as sinking into sand or frightful waves. Singing drunk back-alley lullabies i'll soothe the skelebabies in their sleep, their poor crusted noses snuffled against a cold shift of air (their private torment plastered over billboards with corporate logos and dim colours, suggesting the city's lights have gone out and the local government is in frantics. That is, after all, what you'd focus on) Girl child games were so tipsy and magic (and so close to real coldness); between two orbs of light i'll slip through the cracks in the pavement. THE END. (eat me alive, eat me alive, eaten alive by the wolf at the door)

Breast Behind Lace
Hey, I need your help. Eager yellings have got me over-thinking, linking what I think with pain, I'm on the brink of breaking. Each incision to my brain, has never completely faded. Onto reality, formality presents us to hide everything. Wrongly suggesting, we'd be better investing imperfect perfections-

Imperfect Perfections
She says that she will marry me in the world hereafter Because she is busy in extending facility to some other Keeping me on altar she is suggesting to me this answer Like a ***** cat she know how to play, how to capture I know her game of love, lust ,I know her eternal thirst I understand how she comes to the limits to just burst In body affair they say foreplay is essential to be first Cats are cats in softness hidden very many than worst My sweet cat I do realize your relentless need to glow So in your amorous mood you are bound to tell,show Animal instinct in your veins like stream is just to flow Let me take you on to satisfy you to make you blow Col Muhammad Khalid Khan Copyright 2016 Golden Glow

A ***** Cat
I want to cut you up in little pieces And scatter you amongst the sky So you will be reflected in every pool of light And shimmer like a halo around every face I want to distill your very nature Wear it like a perfume on my skin Letting it permeate my every pore Seeping Inside Me To my very core I want to reach inside your chest To unfasten your heart And swallow it whole So it will beat forever in tandem next to mine Each beat imparting Every word You could never say aloud Love Want Need Mine Please Please Your eyes are by far my favorite Two sparkling jewels Hidden like a holy secret Underneath your veil of lashes One look and you Undo me, Unravel me, Undress me Again, again. Behind my lips I keep your kiss My smile suggesting a clandestine wish Only you possess the key To unlock me Turn it slowly So I may relish the twist of my womb And the fire that travels up my spine To light my eyes So that you will know What you Must Do. I want to cut you up in little pieces And scatter you amongst the sky.

Starcrossed
People keep asking me how I’m doing. If I’m getting better or if I’ve taken the time to process what’s happened. If I’ve sought professional help for the metal percussions induced by my career-ending injury. In all honesty though, professional help is futile. It can’t save me now. I’m walking through hell and sitting in a ring of fire discussing the temperature of the searing flames would be idiotic. Why would I allow the flames to dance along my already seared skin longer than necessary? I know they’re hot. I know I’m in hell. I know the pain I feel every day is real and crippling. Talking about this pain wouldn’t end it. It wouldn’t diminish the heat. It wouldn’t help. I need to keep walking. I just need to keep walking. My crippled body can’t run anymore, but I’ve got to keep walking. Others continue to rush by. Frantic because they’ve never felt the flames. They aren’t familiar with the burn. The idea of being in hell is novel. They are novices.   But life hasn’t been kind to me. These flames are familiar with every curve of my body and they dance around with trained feet. I’ve been in hell for years. People continue suggesting I find the light at the end of the tunnel, but that’s near impossible here. I’m too blinded by the brightness of a vehement flame. Sizzling with an angry vigor for the lack of gratitude I bestowed on my past life. It mocks the speed at which I used to be able to run. It laps sardonically at the feet that used to run cheer-inducing speeds without thanks from their owner. But crowds don’t cheer my name anymore. I now stand on the sidelines and watch my team play. I burn alive for the game I used to breath and as I watch each and every game, the deep breaths of oxygen only continue alighting the fire. There’s no way out it seems, but I will try to keep walking. Because talking is futile. Note: Spinal diseases are crippling mentally and physically. Watching the body you've sculpted for years turn to mush because you can't workout is dilapidating . The despair and helplessness are unfamiliar feelings, feelings that can't be overcome. Disease is disease and sometimes it can't be stopped. Sometimes, it just becomes a burden to bear. And sometimes people aren't strong enough. It's different when careers end after four years of college. An expected end, an anticipated end. But when things you love are taken from you abruptly, before your finished. The pain is exponentially worse. Exponentially. Worse.

Career-Ending Injuries: the collegiate struggle in hell

*My first inspiration was *** passionate life squeezing screaming *** the thumping wall musicality of *** exhaustingly inventive sweaty and wet I wanted to make it a senryu but for duality the female characterisation demanded two more lines each extending to seven syllables Arousing images captured her moaning splashing loneliness in unusual collocation I was first excited by the placement of a hovering extended enjambement to give life to my final line whilst also considering the satisfaction in using noisy mouthed rhythms I believe I easily hid the wet aroused context with a watery semantic field suggesting she would choke and drown So in my last line I had ‘pleasures’ as a cutting keriji to make clear the dominating ****** context having previously used a preposition and determiner to maintain duality* **Exhausted shivers in windowed naked currents unfolding sinking then surfing vital wavelets drowning screams - pleasures wet bite** .

Eye lashes flicker, a shared urgent interest, parting - dancing smile
Red haired dame black roots dark brown eyes thin lips but smiles neat handles the cell phone between thin fingers nails chewed adding tabs suggesting networks that work best thin tattooed arms small busted maybe less expensive but it's better she says Johnny smiles notes the small stud in her lower lip knows her cell phones well that's for sure he knows next to nowt just to switch on and off and send a text or two and call now and then but it's Johnny daughter who's buying not he he's just the onlooker taking notes for a poem just like this mental note as poets do to catch the essence before it takes flight like some rare moth into the night.

RED HAIRED DAME.
A woman of shear beauty Her attractiveness being at her duty She gets any man she wants Annabelle knows how to taunt It is the way she walks and talks Men feel her senses and respond in stalk Annabelle dresses in expensive long gowns Her hips are firm and are round At parties, woman look Annabelle up and down Yet they never utter any sound It’s the way men grapple at Annabelle’s feet Once they see Annabelle men don’t retreat Annabelle moves every so carefully in her stance Her good looks and attractiveness with every staring chance This is how Annabelle’s suggestions advance Annabelle’s methods in all systems go Her hips in suggesting just follow my flow Annabelle’s statement, “Hold on to your man” I am in control and it’s within my own command My masterpiece is what you see It is Annabelle’s canvas that says she.

MISTRESS ANNABELLE
"The thought of  the future we will never have was pollinating foul fuzzy particles in the air, slowly following the wake of all those tasseled dreams I had held onto for all those years but had to let go." The most intimate revelations can often expose plagiaristic suppressions that we've most likely tried to already forget. Suggesting to anyone on the outside looking in, that there is a rancid cowardice secreting from the pores of all those who would deny the most basic of fundamental decencies to their fellow man. All the while, boasting a loud tolerance that would be found on the very last Autumn-the very last colorful arrangements of watering oranges and smothered reds our world was ever going to be privileged to witness again. The thundering drumming of my own beating heart gave my freshly dead and bland reaction a neon personality, with a few extra ********* lingering, successful gestures that reflected a sparkly prism of tracers. Tracers that were birthed from the most brilliant of lasers, as I was radiating something that was blindingly gorgeous, something that was heightened with more sensitivity as it shadowed over the complexity of every kiss that I had ever been given in my life.. Spinning a silk and gold web around me that was almost as intricate as an alarm sounding earth quake. This flaccidly tight response came at a price, leaving nothing but whispers and the wrong kind of impressions at the sight of  it's unwanted face.. The time of dignity and grace felt decades away as your tiny little temperaments began to attempt to soothe me into a very still silence. "Wooing" me and "seducing" me with such a strong touch of romantic readiness, I knew it would never be matched or found again causing me to feel a stroke of sadness at the single sentiment.   This dramatic departure killed any interest that might have supported the abortive sorrows and short winded elation’s of men, but instead the idea of a possibly new tasseled dream, sparked me into a shimmering prism bouncing glittering, glimmering, glowing rays off my skin, as I put the shine in the sun.

Crowded lakeside, more than expected on a normal day. Hoping for a quiet rendezvous in private she looked aghast, at such a turn of events, nevertheless started to make eyes at him; patience wasn't her best friend. Shutting up like a clam he was a picture of contrast. Every desire she expressed turned to a love sick wood duck soon  a flock was billing and cooing preening and polishing in haste, making amorous advances with an aggressiveness suggesting intolerance to his reticence. They chased his silence with irresistible  mating calls, raising hell as if in heat, making him regret.

Lovesick Antics

11/9/2014 it’s not a question of whether or not but rather how your crooked elbow hangs over my collarbone as you reach for your phone lying procumbent on wherever the circumstances have placed us whether it is a dorm bed or a basement couch me sitting up in a cold sweat or the red of my sunburn on the white sheets of my july bed it’s never been a question of state no matter where the state until i’m sitting staring at the empty space you left next to me or in my head. it’s not a question of legitimacy with the intimacy in your tethered voice suggesting otherwise but i can’t help but despise wild intricacies of time.

I am the Lorax, who once spoke for the trees In the hope of bringing progress to its knees But now I have grown somewhat older and tired, My outlook and thought process being rewired (Sometimes to see forest, you must clear the trees.) Examine the case of the Brown Bar-ba-loots Whose interests for so long I worked in cahoots. Could such timid beasts truly thrive in the wild So innocent, trusting, submissive, and mild? (My former assertions I strongly refute.) Why, see how they frolic and scamper in zoos; How can one watch them and steadfastly refuse To see how much better their lot is today As joy for our children as opposed to prey (A happy condition where no one can lose.) Ah, scoff the nihilists, *but Truffula Trees, Those havens for birds and those homes for the bees. Why, what do you say now that they are all gone, Removed to make way for some suburban lawn?* (These angry young men—O Lord, take them all please!) I gently remind them it’s just nature’s way, That some species go while other ones stay, The carrier pigeon’s no longer alive Yet somehow we manage to live—indeed, thrive! (In the face of brute logic, they’ve little to say.) So don’t be dismayed or frightened or leery Of doomsday projections outlined by theory Suggesting that our time on this earth may be done; Consider the caged Bar-ba-loot having fun (And we hear fish do quite well in Lake Erie.)

The Lorax Reconsiders
Baby soft scruff Eyes, pacific and sultry Sly yet honest Childlike and sensual Witty and innocent Bring forth the animal The infectious mischief The ***** rhythms in darkened rooms The stolen moments in Lower West Side alleyways Long, piercing looks over a bottle of Dal Forno Amarone Savage concupiscence Your eyes suggesting the next move Bodies entwined in the back of a cab At the bridge and we walk across And I indulge in your juxtapositions All the way to Brooklyn

What happened to dancing? And I mean grooving Moving to the beat of the music not that back to front, raunchy, distasteful, vertical *** on the dancefloor foolishness I don't want any of that unclassy bending over ***** pressed up against a stranger, up in my face, I mean up in my behind business type of dancing. None of that too-close for comfort, get-a-room type of grind I want some of that smooth jazzy, hold my hand and spin me around moving, and I want some of that 80's finger-snappin', and some of those Breakfast Club hip-shaking, arm-gyrating What I don't get is why The moves from ***** Dancing seem cleaner than today's so-called dancing. I want to be able to go to a club And have enough space for myself and you to be dancing like we're dancing at home, with the privacy of our rooms I want to be able to dance, and let us return and have a much-needed cultural dance revolution where it doesn't have to be something your mama won't be ashamed of. I want some of that jiving, and more of that 70's finger-pointing, and fast-feet moving Man, I just want all of us to dance without it suggesting anything more than smooching.

Dancing has Died
It is believed to exist; It is often what we as people strive for; Something for which we are prepared to persist. Perfection is a drug, perfection is a demon; Perfection is what often makes us forget that we are human; By virtue of expectation, We engulf one another in clouds of smoke; Creating a screen for ourselves, Causing one another to choke; We make it a burden for others; Make their lives unbearable, Yet we ourselves never want to bear this yoke. Perfection as an ideal isn’t bad, It has brought man to, and through, Millennia where men believe in themselves. Man, as a creature, will never fly, But we have inventions that bring us perfectly close. We’ve created environments that allow us to do things at lightning speed; We’ve more or less streamlined our every need. But that’s what we don’t get! Perfection, however lovely, will forever be an ideal; We all need to understand that it isn’t real; Like most things on earth, perfection is relative. I’m not , for one moment, suggesting that we stop being competitive! No, not at all! All I suggest is that we stop burdening one another; Be it you friend, wife, husband, father, mother, sister or brother. The societal norm of giving each other 10 crosses at a time, With no apparent reason, is only going to cause the issue to deepen; Propagate itself, as we bid humanity adieu. Do not expect what you cannot give, That, for me, is the better way to live; And if you can give something to others, Try and not expect it back always. For we are all human, And can only dream of perfection in any case.......

Perfection

A calamity of views abused When the alcohol is strong The choices go wrong Everyones offend through Misinterpreted temptation Using my over analyzing brain to calm the degraded Crying over a mundane sane Looking for persuasion Through persecution Picking out your weaknesses Bleakness, is a majestic trait Not intentionally Burdening their agony My name is animosity I depict a character that sympathizes Your alibies Using my vulnerability Contaminated humility Finding The hiding No problem suggesting My dark secrets of the night Applying my skits that fit right Paranoid to be viewed in a mortifying light I would be lying denying my animalistic ride I have scrutinized Remorsing I see earth born Godly you stand In the morning Behold deformities You fit the norm I bow to your Godly proportion In vein this I pray Amen

Admitted to taking the reduced ruling Fourteen souls accepted what this is after All Of this... Immediately unavailable to face Sunday's showdown at The Stadium. The Titan gave assurances to the souls today. It will not take any further action -Despite the deal- But their identity is still unknown Some suggesting only retired evidence. Hand in hand with sickness, The hound (who is widely regarded) Appears to prove why force In recent years Did indeed highly fancy tomorrow's feature; "The Winner". The hound first knew his fledgling When he could finally be on the road While his empire expanded "I used to hope for the best" Titan tells us. "I used to have a while and I used to get sick. Now I just have to find a way To use up that time. I speak only to the Landlord And his tenants. I only blame myself for the sickness. All I know is where I've come from ...At least, I think so... ...I hope so." "It's a funny thing!"- Hound. *Pressure keeps you honest. Wet, heavy conditions expected tomorrow. So, with everything said, I wish you peace and love. Love is waiting.*
