"trickle" poems
. A poet's heart isn't like any other... It's the tears that trickle with radiance through words.      It's a treasure trove that hides but longs to      be found.           It's a book shelved high that wants to           be read.                It's the freest of all birds caged but                unbound... A poet's heart isn't like any other... It doesn't beat to the capable strokes of the artist.      It doesn't pump in the most vibrant of      colours.           It doesn't wield a paintbrush to           translate its thoughts.                But it can see through the eyes of                painters... A poet's heart isn't like any other... It doesn't conform to the conventional parameters of lyrics.      It doesn't bind itself to the requirements      of musical harmony.           It doesn't follow the conventions of           genres.                But it sings its voice loud without                restrictions of melody... A poet's heart isn't like any other... It's an open secret, that whispers in metaphoric codes.      It's an exploding universe, that merges      back into galaxies.           It's a sought after painting, that boasts           of unfathomable beauty.                It's an everlasting song, that echoes                within the poet that embodies...

Great tragedy suffered, Impossible circumstances conquered, The warrior walks upon the field flanked path. The wanderer's armor tells a tale, Battle scarred and partially rent asunder, A face of stoicism that hides the haggardness underneath, Peeking out beneath the mask of a hardened soldier. The clouds clap ahead, preceded by flashes of light brightly illuminating the world, Accompanied shortly after by the rainfall. A trickle becomes a downpour, The battered individual trudging along as the road becomes a bog of mud and slop, The message firmly planted within their mind. Coming upon the dark outline of the castle ahead the warrior picks up pace, Reflecting upon what would happen to those that the Warrior helped. The pace is now fueled by a different kind of urgency. The rain is cold upon the face's of those that it falls on, The torn edges of metal digging in at places, Some already wounded and tender, As the final hilltop between them is crested. The gates are closed, And this loyal soldier is for the moment shut out, A fist is raised, The declaration of allegiance given, An angry detailing of the warriors achievements and adventures shouted, And a challenge of one's path, Building in anger and fury as the dam finally breaks and gushes forth, Threatening to shatter the gate and doors to splinters and twisted metal. A long ago promised gift to be rewarded, For all the things endured, Things that could be considered so cruel, The storm picks up in force until it's akin to that of a hurricane, As if brought forth by the warrior's grief and pain finally being released, For the first and only time. These things ringing out despite the storms roaring wind, Gathering force, Perhaps in affirmation of the warrior's words. After a pause the gate begins to lift, It's metal screeching, The doors groaning as they begin to swing outward, and the battered soldier is bathed in light, Taking the weight from the warrior's shoulders, As the threshold is finally crossed.

Let me mold my body along your curves; trickle yourself into my entire being *Vulnerable, **** my heart exposed*, palpably we connect across the starry sky; you ... within me I want your intimacy to linger along the edges of my lips hours after you've gone I ache to be consumed by your eyes, intense with emotions, long after the dawn Take me to your intimate chambers where hearts race; the rhythm of our silhouettes melded on satin sheets Leisurely feel your way; a slow descend along the avenue of my rhythmic swell; forgive me of my quivering wanton needs Allow me to graze at the gates of your femininity, drinking the honey from your pink walls; to feel your crowning point between my lips How can I resist those wandering lips that stirs the curtains of my garden alcove; perfectly painted in honey dew, I throb for the touch of your kiss Drape your thighs upon my shoulders; let the waves of satisfaction cascade up your spine I beg to be released, dear God, of this intoxicating spell; I submit myself, heart laid bare; oceans of emotions no longer can I hide. Find your eyes locking with mine; my torso parallels yours, my body pressed to you; equal in ferocity and tenderness Mesmerize by your burning eyes in our melting flesh, so strong your hold; yet so tender your caress Utter our names in fiery moans both whispered and screamed in heated breaths on our solitary night Vile obscenities float out on heated breath, as cool air kiss our molded skin on the evening our time takes flight Take me to your heart & cast away the flesh; allow our souls to weave in the throes of passion as our bodies mix into one; slow-motion ecstasy A longing deep inside, the locked chambers of my soul to exotic places beyond our imaginationsyou sneak into my heart to fulfill my every fantasy  Feed me the lullabies you paint on your canvas; orgiastic symphony we conduct in cascading tides; trembles throughout our bodies when our fluids mix Let me paint upon your heart a ballet of our duet; the crescendo palette of my tide drown you in the spirit of our lyrics Your ripe fruit quivers tenderly while our union completes; take my hands and let me be yours Hold my sated body that tremors from the wake; a union of our souls ensnare a bond secure ~

A strange weather pattern Appears up in the sky, And a strange sludge splatters Into onlooking eyes. Menstrual matter falls From the great godless clouds, The people struck with awe As they run, scream alloud. A trickle turned downpour Of radiated blood, Now drowning in a storm That yields a *** flood. Dropping violently in pints, gallons, and leagues We become fossils under a ************ sea.

************ Inundation
Fat globs Hit the window Trickle down the pipe Watery and cold Accompanied by wind And the night Perishable by the hot midnoon sunshine Raindrops; Forgiven for their fat, wet drips Of cloud tears

Raindrops
.     It's here again...    Heavy downpour...    I inhaled the rain,     cloying with petrichor.       Standing at my window,      looking out...     Street lamps struggled aglow.    People with brollies walking about.    My eyes reached out to the heavens,     tracing these glassy beads       as they'd free fall...         Falling by the sheets,        the pattering hastens,       periodically punctuated      by the thunder's call.      Mind is drifting and floating,        intently listening to a           million love wishes...              Liquid beauty...melding, sketching...            In light entrapped splashes.          Raindrops descend and come,          into my still life tonight...           Won't you will me numb,              with your chilly bite...              Wide-eyed enamour...             Catching a stray droplet or two.              Riding the tail of a zephyr,               finding a place where                 no trouble could ensue.             An errant gust blew            to meet with me.           The refreshing moist          meets my parted lips...         Inhaling deep in this reverie...        Into a sea of tranquillity,         my mind slowly dips...       Sigh... If the droplets were kisses...       I would savour each and every one.       If the moist wind came and caresses      I would meet it in a tight embrace    till the break of sun.   What a sight...    Almost surreal it seems...       As the light from the surrounding          lamps dances playfully...         Dispersing and exploding into a      barrage of shattered beams.     Before it gets subdued in the drops    caught by the leaves on a nearby tree...    The drops would trickle      and fall before merging,       forming stranded puddles        unable to flow...         Rippling... Splashing... Reflecting...       An image...      Borne out of a fantastic show.     An image of beating hearts,      overlapping one another...        Speaking of consequential love           and feelings so true         Intertwined...      in the promise of forever...   Slowly retrieving itself into an...   image of you...

Sometimes, looking at you in the light of the kitchen  I want to run a finger Down the length of your nose but I know you'd wrinkle it, and shake your head citing a tickle, but kiss behind my shoulder as soon As I turn away When my feet make ice pools in the bed Toes accidentally brushing your ankle and you **** abruptly, but upon hearing My sigh, trap them back with your ankles til, martyr that you are, I'm engulfed in Warmth at your Expense. Sometimes the last trickle of milk is mine, for the coffee, Silent with your eyes smiling fondly, you look on as I sip, resolutely stirring powdered Dead baby souls into mug as substitute. Even damp smelly socks Greasy hair Neurotic tears and Intellectual rambling epiphanies Even childish blunders, fudging the Budget or burning the toast You still call me fond Things. And love Me. The most.

Ways
And I will make sure that if anything were to happen, It would do little to affect you. It's not everyday You find a goose that lays eggs With speckled jewels and golden flakes The world is full of incongruity And there's no doubt about the certainty That something bad may happen, And we don't want that, do we? So listen carefully. The world is a giant carboniferous spicule Hanging in a nest of hydroxic gas and particulae Spinning within the gaps of a blackened dome Of limitless space and out of control There is no telling what way it will go There is no prediction that has fortold Any number of moments in this tumbling slumber Between the darkest hell and the further horizon I so deftly advise you with all certification To please place your bets and fly by echolocation Your eyes will mislead, your ears will displease And there is no way we can refund divine warranties This machinery has a half life of quarks And energies that vibrate into other orbits Trajectories Retaining the spin and informative piece Of that golden goose let loose amongst the canopy Of dark, off into neverland, straight on Till new morning, Beyond the stars So please good sir don't migrate away from me I have so much to give and such pain I have seen Those that fatten their goose with **** till it quacks, Those ravenous souls who ate their gift for a snack, And when life finally cuts them down to their last, They will howl and yowl and pray that goose back. This is a game, Have a good little laugh Don't waste your time or your money On a daffy Aflack Policy that keeps you policed to the earth, No way to fly, Stuck in the dirt. That is no way to live in the dream, That is no way to let death trickle in So please, pretty please, make sure you have coverages And a couple extra dollars in the pocket of those jeans Wander freely, you great big atomic bomb, you. Do catastrophic damages and I'll pay your dues. Ride the road coast to coast, Fly a bird 'round the world, Take a truck till you're home, Find a love you can trust. Find a place where your egg And your legs seek nowhere else Lay down those roots, It's Eden or bust.

The house was haunted The family fled They couldn't find the priest So they got me instead. I read aloud my poems Full of sorrow and pain, About dreary things And nearly going insane. "My Gawd", the ghosts cried " This is fierce gloomy stuff, I thought we were bad But this, Enough! Enough! " Well they wailed and they shrieked And they wailed some more Then holding their ears They ran out the door. Even ghosts they desert me I thought After they'd gone They'd never even heard of a sorrow    so deep Or a pain as sharp as mine. I sat there all alone in the silent house With not a whisper, no! not a mouse When all of a sudden there came    something strange A little sound like that of slow trickling    water. "Have you something to say to me    House", I asked "Before I up and leave you forever", The little sound, it stopped all at once    and looked up As if very surprised at having been    discovered. I rose to leave But quickly turned back amazed When from down & out of the    chimney Crept this little voice so slight & warm    & tender. " Forgive me Sir", it said, "But I could contain myself no longer, That little sound you hear, the tiny    trickle Is but the teardrops from my eyes    dripping Such a pain and sorrow as yours I never heard before Those anguish drenched words They seeped through my walls right    into my heart They pierced me deeply, Yea, they pretty near tore me apart, I'll remember you Sir when you're    gone I don't think I could ever forget you". I listened and was sorely moved "Thank you House ", I said, "thank     you, thank you kindly" And turning again at the front door "Goodbye House, look after those    who'll live here, won't you". Outside the birds, they were singing And up in the sky, the sun The sun, it was shining.

Tell me why it seems like the walls are closing in Tell me why my hopes they're stretched far and thin Tell me why my dreams still struggle in this fight Tell me why every time I draw air but it feels so tight. Tell me why in this turmoil my heart does wallow Tell me why lifes' lessons by the heapfuls I choke to swallow Tell me why I'm somewhat free but then again I am not Tell me why I really do have but I haven't really got. Tell me why I try to sleep many a restless night Tell me why I am so afraid of many a fearful fright Tell me why I still feel the way I have felt before Tell me why I ask many questions which leaves me broken and sore.

Tell me why I feel so happy but in fact I am so sad Tell me why it all seems unfair but I have to be glad Tell me why I found love in the most unfortunate circumstance Tell me why to a mournful tune I am stuck in dance. Tell me why my heart feels engorged but I can't release it all Tell me why I am so scared but I would still want to fall Tell me why I feel you close when you're farther than far Tell me why it seems incredulous that we share the same star.

Tell me why I lay in bed dreaming of a place far away Tell me why I find myself moping more and more each day Tell me why I chose to be naive and in fate I do give trust Tell me why time and time again it just gets ground to dust. Tell me why I feel so beaten and weak when I should be strong Tell me why I am so familiar in a place I don't belong Tell me why I have to live with a mask on my face Tell me why I feel like a marionette strung up by lace. Tell me why I dug deep when these words make me cry Tell me why the tears still trickle when my eyes are dry Tell me why I share this when I know you would feel bad Tell me why I would even spout the words that make you sad. Tell me why these painful wounds I didn't choose to lick Tell me why I didn't let them heal but instead I would pick Tell me why I feel as though I am quite addicted Tell me why it seems like I enjoy the dark I've inflicted. Tell me why sometimes I question, the things you see in me Tell me why you've said it many times but I don't really see Tell me why I haven't drifted far when I should've a while ago The reason is you; because you have chosen to love me.

The line didn't move, though there were not many people in it. In a half-hearted light the lone agent dealt patiently, noiselessly, endlessly with a large dazed family ranging from twin toddlers in strollers to an old lady in a bent wheelchair. Their baggage was all in cardboard boxes. The plane was delayed, the rumor went through the line. We shrugged, in our hopeless overcoats. Aviation had never seemed a very natural idea. Bored children floated with faces drained of blood. The girls in the tax-free shops stood frozen amid promises of a beautiful life abroad. Louis Armstrong sang in some upper corner, a trickle of ignored joy. Outside, in an unintelligible darkness that stretched to include the rubies of strip malls, winged behemoths prowled looking for the gates where they could bury their koala-bear noses and **** our dimming dynamos dry. Boys in floppy sweatshirts and backward hats slapped their feet ostentatiously while security attendants giggled and the voice of a misplaced angel melodiously parroted FAA regulations. Women in saris and kimonos dragged, as their penance, behind them toddlers clutching Occidental teddy bears, and chair legs screeched in the food court while ill-paid wraiths mopped circles of night into the motionless floor.

Flight to Limbo
Oh sunset, your aura still lingers, A charming shade across the sky, A perfect watercolor painting, The first sign of day waving goodbye. Oh sunset, you're so beautiful, Your colors paint the air, Flashes of the brightest hues, You leave traces everywhere. Oh sunset, how you grin, With such a cheerful light, Your lovely warmth is always, An unexpected delight. Oh sunset how you have lit my path, Tolerated my blurry tears, You're a familiar place, where I've loved and lost, But still you remain, despite the cruel years. Oh sunset, now you're dancing, Alive, and carelessly free, Sunset im feeling jealous, Oh I wish that could be me. Oh sunset, how fleeting, mysterious, You never do stay for long, Just enough moments to make me realize, What in my life is so very wrong. Oh sunset I despise your tricks, The way you flirt with the sky, I am not as easily deceived, I see right through your lie. Oh sunset i see youre wilting, but please don't go just yet, I need your flimsy arms to hold me, and im scared i will forget. Oh sunset, you fade, silent as always, A trickle of fear touches my heart, A sliver of doubt is all that I need, To tear this beauty apart. Oh sunset, you smile, wink, just play, Deciding it's time to make haste, So gone is the promise of comfort and love, All hopes, all dreams; a silly waste. The treetops aloft are golden, but shadows are closing in, Oh sunset i would love you more, If you werent so weak, such a coward, a fool, To  let the darkness win.

Sunset
Oh sunset, your aura still lingers, A charming shade across the sky, A perfect watercolor painting, The first sign of day waving goodbye. Oh sunset, you're so beautiful, Your colors paint the air, Flashes of the brightest hues, You leave traces everywhere. Oh sunset, how you grin, With such a cheerful light, Your lovely warmth is always, An unexpected delight. Oh sunset how you have lit my path, Tolerated my blurry tears, You're a familiar place, where I've loved and lost, But still you remain, despite the cruel years. Oh sunset, now you're dancing, Alive, and carelessly free, Sunset im feeling jealous, Oh I wish that could be me. Oh sunset, how fleeting, mysterious, You never do stay for long, Just enough moments to make me realize, What in my life is so very wrong. Oh sunset I despise your tricks, The way you flirt with the sky, I am not as easily deceived, I see right through your lie. Oh sunset i see youre wilting, but please don't go just yet, I need your flimsy arms to hold me, and im scared i will forget. Oh sunset, you fade, silent as always, A trickle of fear touches my heart, A sliver of doubt is all that I need, To tear this beauty apart. Oh sunset, you smile, wink, just play, Deciding it's time to make haste, So gone is the promise of comfort and love, All hopes, all dreams; a silly waste.

Vague is the feeling, dark is the delight, feared is the memory of your cold dead sight. Your love was killed by the twisted moonlight. I remember hazel brown eyes reversed into a song, a Melodie of skies. I can see the colors now burst in the air and up above so tender was the forbidden love. I now ponder in amazement towards the moonlight sky. An embrious scatter of stars lay in the earths bound movement, slowly, cautiously I begin to wonder. But only to the moonlight dancer. I have heard your voice and I have seen your face, but only for it to bring back a tattered trace. I remember when all was good. I remember when you use to love me the way that you should. I watched you walk away slowly with these words only a trickle on my tongue. With a "good...bye" your voice had rung. Those words lay pasted down to my heart and glued. Moonlight dancer come back to my hand, moonlight dancer take me to your rythmatic land, moonlight dancer take my hand. Her coldness piercing my heart, her absence tore me apart, and now her funeral to only end me. Please come back and defend me. Slowly the blade slit across my wrist in a song like structure. I let the music flow down from the wound, and now my mind it will consume. I'm lost and in love by moonlight dancers song. Where else could I have gone wrong? Moonlight dancer come back to my hand, moonlight dancer take me to your rythmatic land, moonlight dancer take my hand. Moonlight dancer just please breath once again. Moonlight dancer?

Distressed tears trickle down a face soiled with dolor Flooding a pillow with painful memories drowning every being of hope Swallowing love in a black hole Only to be thrown back up As a wreckage of confused emotion A sponge soaking up all my ambition Leaving pessimistic thoughts to fill the cold void where there is only an echo of happiness My already cracked spirits are fatigued Sharply cutting through my mind where affection is suffocated And lust is left gasping for air My insecurities seek acceptance Confiding in the cushion that holds every tear It welcomes my troubles And shuns my dreams I am a lost soul If only I could abide behind a fortress that protects my heart only then will my tears cease

Crying in my Pillow
This year I'll bleed for better reasons. I'll take a tumble after a night of drinking at the bar, knees skinned and raw because I wasn't used to my heels. I'll brush it off and let the blood trickle down my legs as I stumble back home at 2 am. I'll learn to hold my liquor. I'll bite my tongue a thousand times and taste copper. Whether silencing myself for my mother or my professor, the friend who thinks she's always right. Or the ******* who's screaming sexist jargon. I'll learn to pick my battles. I'll cook myself delicious meals and the knife will slip while I chop shallots and potatoes for my feast built for one. I'll let my ****** battle wounds season the food and I won't flinch at the thought of eating another meal alone. I'll learn to love myself. I'll pull the knife from my heart and back and wield them like weapons fit only for my hands. I'll lick the blade clean and scare anyone who dares try and harm me. I'll never bleed for you again. I'll bleed for better reasons.

Bleed For Better Reasons
The fiscal snare is drawing tight Putin’s day... now courting night, Rouble tilts vertiginously To Satan’s **** religiously. Fiscal snare is drawing blood A trickle then... is now a flood, Russia’s central bank adjusts But ineffectually, combusts. Hard line prospects elbow dance Aligning for assasins lance. Perhaps…. Better now, the Devil known Than facing down an Unknown throne….. Facing down an Iron call With finger poised in nuclear thrall. What choice now for ego’s Prince Retreat from Eastern Ukraine’s wince? Retreat Crimea’s balmy shores To face the nationalistic howl of hordes? Brinkmanship…the other way A gamble that the West might sway? Either way the game is up Now bitter wine brims Russia’s cup. M.

An overriding national feeling
I bend to scoop the sand into my palm, clutching tightly, the tiny grains warm within my grasp. The ocean is calm, gently nudging my toes as though reminding me of its presence, begging to be noticed. It is persistent. I look back to my fist, prompted by the renewed emptiness inside, capturing a glimpse of the last grains of sand as they trickle from between my fingers. They lay to rest at my feet; before, behind, or beside me - I could not be sure. I never did find out, nor did I care. They were never mine to hold.

Never Mine
Balcony Life: Sometimes I just watched outside, and it was a glorious day. Children actually played. Groups sunbathed and basked in beer Ice-cream vans were heard not far from here Above a plane heading somewhere etched its mark traced in nothing but just plain blue sky, for miles, as far as the eyes could see. Up the motorway, the sun ignites on speeding sunroofs Toward the Campsie Fells set in a haze of bottle green The white trickle of yesterdays snow cut like some dyslexic ancient symbol A place for misspent youth and baking trays on icy days A hot cheap brand coffee in a chipped petrol-token mug Perched on weathered wrought iron painted brown like last year Meant so much in that moment grasped and shaped like glass with glee I remember that there is life in this here estate sometimes Watching as you do, from your own slice of life on your patch of balcony

Voices from the North part 2
Thick skin falls in pieces To reveal a molten liquid center A beauty never gazed upon by another A glow of heat and pain and ...love Hidden from prying eyes Kept safe from strangers and "loved ones" alike Permanent fists grip tightly As the center boils hot upon its release And a trickle becomes a flood In the right hands... In the right heart The stiff grip loosens And new skin, soft and supple Replaces the old Stronger than one could have imagined Sweeter than one could hope A butterfly against the odds And a struggle ends in .....love

Power of SHE
SPRING I slowly unfurl to the World Stretching up to the sky blue And sense an early morning chill Of Spring waking me anew. Each day grows a little warmer As daylight hours extend Making this leaf feel fresher, Tothe bright sunlight I bend. SUMMER I’m at my most greenest now, Hot sun burns upon my veins; How glad am I to finally enjoy Those cooling, copious rains. At which point, I pour in drips, A refreshing, rousing trickle That falls on grass and buttercup Teasing them with a tickle. AUTUMN Mists have now arrived, enshrouding My form with heavy dew; The greens has all but leached away, Bled from veins no longer new. Down below the tree are vivid reds Browns and translucent golds Which, increasingly each day now People their captivation holds. WINTER The first frost of Winter And a biting, northerly breeze Cut into me,and scores of others Were torn from their trees. I’ve fallen now, to the ground All wrinkled, and utterly fragile Awaiting my final hour Until, I meet my funeral pile…

The Life of a Leaf
Spines curve as sweetly as drops from a honeysuckle Notes in a melody fill the void spaces Gentle rushes stir like the swish of rustling leaves Flushed as red as the cherry who’s stem is knotted Time stolen from the hands of a frozen clock- Still like snow fallen from a winter shower Senses fully awaken to chase alluring aromas   Repetitive jolts of candied sin trickle throughout the body Electric flow in the veins sparks an extended invitation Contagious appetite will mirror aches of desire Surges of shock in the body join the mind and soul Accelerating spikes in heart rate kiss private secrets Boundless longing branded to one another Yearning indulged by limitless exchanges of energy- Transfers immune from harm Pressure from oneness loosens the tremble in pleading breaths Hands close around each hip to clench their hollows Credible fingers drenched in admiration coat mingled skin One is composed by the gravitation of two Defying moonlight to surrender at an immeasurable ****** Reaching for the highest point to let go Sharing traces of untamed wind with soaring wings Collecting innocence altered by ecstasy Choosing vulnerability to expose what cannot be said Fantasies traded through the rhythm of touch

I wake your senses to remind you that you wake mine
Unlimited essence of floatation The slow turn of rotation Flying across the vast stitched multiverse Extreme wave of beauty, but with a curse So large, infinite if you will Though, at float I am, still Moving towards a planet Gazing deep within it, I can tell it is stranded The low gravity warped around my astral shell Not enough to send me to a dwell Paralyzed as its beauty is spectacular The dark, purple atmosphere moves upon deeper into my soul Absorbing and soaking its cosmic realm, my eyes center towards a trickle of light A shine calling upon my invite Invitation towards the 3rd Heaven Still trapped within the box The 2nd Heaven Leaning closer, my aura and the planet's begin to lock An increase of gravity as it embedded Embedded a mere astral body on towards a new oasis The closer I began, I noticed how my eye was so basic Or was it Creating barriers, I mustn't Now upon the barren, desert soil The dim black and purple formed as crystals A plant sprouting, as the roots coil Gazing upon the birth of one's self, a force trickles Awaken from the deep slumber of meditation A possibility of an infinite number of myself brings an essence of incredible invasion Or perhaps, I'm moving forward within my soul Moving closer towards a reality-based goal

Sprouts of a Soul
"Shush now child, you lay your head down, go to sleep right on my chest. Bombs are ringing out the windows, rock us both to sleep or death. Feel the warmness, feel my smile, feel the trickle of my tears. Baby girl just know I love you, heaven’s gates are shining near."
