"unleashes" poems
When man, enters woman, like the surf biting the shore, again and again, and the woman opens her mouth with pleasure and her teeth gleam like the alphabet, Logos appears milking a star, and the man inside of woman ties a knot so that they will never again be separate and the woman climbs into a flower and swallows its stem and Logos appears and unleashes their rivers. This man, this woman with their double hunger, have tried to reach through the curtain of God and briefly they have, through God in His perversity unties the knot.

When Man Enters Woman
A sigh in the dark. Past my jaded lips it rises like a ghost, and I the host of thoughts enamoured but unwanted, unresolved. Night takes my sight and unleashes vision I watch (not my decision) the memories bloom to life. Ethereal and hazy, those lazy summer days Of hasty plans, promises, platitudes made; childish to dream it could have stayed the same. Polite and awkward we shuffle in the light of day, you think before you act and mind what you say and if lucky enough you might get away without blurting a thought from your head gone astray. Why do eyes so bright bring such dark thoughts? Why do we fear to take what we want? A sigh in the dark. Across chilled skin it spreads like fire, this unspoken desire between whispering sheets. Fingers grasp and twine, I feel hers, she feels mine, as we search in the dark together. This night air we’ll share; it's vice, and with vigour, seeking the trigger to release. To resolve.

# *Souls embroidered with sweet sighs of passion Musing of nights in lace & white satin On a vista of flesh, flushed with desire Riding the flames on a passage of fire The beating of drums, commanding the night To the rhythm of hearts, passion ignites Wrapped in immortal flames of the sun Burning together, two become one Flesh upon flesh, a spirited dance Welded by whispers of love, of romance Temperatures rise in a fever of lust Stoking the flames, ****** after ****** Riding the swell, in a race to the shore Try to repress, but needing it more Virtue be ****** in the rage of desire Flames rise in hunger, higher n' higher Charging the crest, temperance slips Drawing the reins in a white knuckle grip Crashing of waves unleashes the flood Quaking the heart, and searing the blood Spewing of flames in the crash of the tide In a warm sheen of sweat, fervor subsides Energy spent in the throes of release Collapsing together, the story complete* #

In Lace & White Satin
*pain knocks on weathered doors fastened ever tightly cryptic access is denied it camouflages in the shadows stealthily it watches hypervigilance enhancing catastrophe awaiting it strikes in latent graveyards the gale begins to form and unleashes its fierce torrent the latch shattered and torn there’s now an open entrance creeping in it slithers engulfing to encompass digging up emotions buried underground there hovering and foggy tho’ murky does not smother but fleshes out the psyche entombed and cobweb covered it crawls along the edges and peers in secret ledges seeps into sequesters like dust settled in feathers it slides through every feeling and when it’s at its blackest it carves the darkness out and let’s in sunlight’s presence © 2016janetaylor

hidden places
The Aces check their sleeves, Hearts rippling across the breeze. The Queen arises Slowly, Torn dress ripped at the knees. The Jack saw his fill And quickly took his leave. Stood trembling in a doorway, Mind struggling to believe... The King was an alcoholic, It was widely known to be so, Each eve he would sit solemn, Wine in hand and sword on show, Clapping to the Jokers' japes As he danced and sang About love and fate. But how was the King to know? Not two rooms away His wife had lain, With a smile and a ***** Creating a cuckold and a fool... The Jack had had enough And promptly marched To the throne room. Armed with only knowledge, Unleashes inevitable typhoon. The winds will rise, This house shall succumb, Imploding inwards Till the house is done. And all that remains Among ash and decay, Broken hearts and broken spades, Is the Jokers last laugh. A mockingbirds call as daylight fades.

House of Cards
We humans have messed around With Mother Nature and her eco-system For years and years Decades and decades Centuries and centuries Felling gazillions of trees Turning forests into concrete jungles Filling ponds, lakes, rivers and seas With tons and tons of toxic waste Releasing enough carbon monoxide into the air To wreck the entire troposphere The list of sins against Nature goes on and on With no end in sight Given all this, who are we to complain When Mother Nature has had enough And unleashes her fury on us Through earthquakes and tsunamis Avalanches and volcanoes Hurricanes and tornadoes Floods and droughts And so on Remember, Mother Nature has blessed us With oodles of riches In the form of plants and trees Mountains and forests Ponds, lakes, rivers, seas and oceans And last but not the least, oxygen! It is time we show her some gratitude And more importantly, respect and compassion And stop messing around with the eco-system Remember the famous old saying Live and let live It doesn't mean infrastructure shouldn't be developed We can build roads We can build a railway network We can build houses We can build schools and colleges We can build hospitals We can build libraries However, as my grandfather used to say There is a limit to everything And we should also plant trees Build gardens and parks Switch to renewable sources of energy And cut down severely on emissions A balance should be maintained After all, messing around with Mother Nature Will only bring about our own downfall There have been enough natural disasters Caused by human negligence Let's not add to the list Which is already longer than the river Nile!

Why We Shouldn't Mess Around with Mother Nature
We humans have messed around With Mother Nature and her eco-system For years and years Decades and decades Centuries and centuries Felling gazillions of trees Turning forests into concrete jungles Filling ponds, lakes, rivers and seas With tons and tons of toxic waste Releasing enough carbon monoxide into the air To wreck the entire troposphere The list of sins against Nature goes on and on With no end in sight Given all this, who are we to complain When Mother Nature has had enough And unleashes her fury on us Through earthquakes and tsunamis Avalanches and volcanoes Hurricanes and tornadoes Floods and droughts And so on Remember, Mother Nature has blessed us With oodles of riches In the form of plants and trees Mountains and forests Ponds, lakes, rivers, seas and oceans And last but not the least, oxygen!

365Nectar #60 Devour Me Fri. November 22, 2013 9:18 P.M. Devour me... A provocative passionate pouring of pillaging and plundering... A pleasing prowling of a piercing plunderer... A lovely, limp nymph laid upon a sizzling alter... Smoldering... Awakening all the senses a choking of lust unleashes exhilarating and envelops you... Effortlessly evoking ethereal... a sinister seduction seductively seduces and hungry hips breakdance with hysterical Stimulating a surreal surge of a sweet seeping... waiting... impatiently... For you to chisel an unimaginable devouring... S slow steady climb to the summit of the ultimate ****** Time- Time- Time... a tool to employ flamboyantly... immediately... eargerly... Expose my conquered heart that leaks of streams of cream of succulent sensation... Expose my tamed moistness that whispery whines as you build a legacy of torturous licking.... Seductively... Slithering in spicy spirals of stirring screams from stormy shivers of steamy anticipation of your redefining touch... Suddenly... drowning in the sticky sensation of all that is us... A tender luscious love liquefying flesh and penetrating souls... We blend in blazing bliss tapping taboo for titillating thrills you rock a rowdy ravishing inside me... I whisper wet whimpers and beg for bitten breast... Our wrestling hips hug, ***** and groan a hungry growling... Pounded into saturated submission I linger in lubricating dreams for you- to... devour me.

Devour Me
In the witching hour all is quiet except for the beating sound of two hearts entwined with passion and agony beating more angry by the minute. Blinded eyes try to pierce through the dark abyss to find sanity in a place of cold nothingness and desolation, as the tortured mind cloudy with regret slowly fades away.. nails claw at blinded eyes longing to see the clouds part and behold, his goddess is there basking in the pale yellowing aura of the moon, as he looks longingly upon her.. skin and curves of perfection soaking up the yellowing, becoming golden upon his slightest gaze. Knees become burning furnaces of pain and torment as he falls to kneel before her, begging with soundless words of an open mouth for release. Paralyzed, hungrily devouring as her sightless eyes fall upon her brooding brow trailing down to the blinding stars that become her eyes under the harvest moon. The wind blows fierce surrounding her in a halo of color plucked dead limbs, trailing off into oblivion. She gazed upon his visage, her fierceness burning his soul in eternal torment she smirks and glides toward effortlessly slowly, tantalizingly slow, causing him great anguish and letting her sadistic humor known to all.. he lashed out and traps her in his iron eyes transfixed  on lips so full and soft as crimson color them tricking down her body hungrily eating her perfect curves he kisses her hard throwing themselves down a bottom less pit entangled in passion he forces her legs apart he slams into her as she drips wet in anticipation.. She moans breathlessly in extract, her ***** like velvet greedily devours his hardened **** of stone repeatedly ****** her innocence, tired bodies continuously fall exhausted. She tried to flee, but his fires flamed inside hotly he takes her again. His embrace hard, intense his iron will dominating her. Breaking her wild spirit, she gasps as he unleashes a relentless force inside her driving her to the edge of sanity and back again. Her eyes close for the last time giving into his dominance she embraced him. Her wild flaming spirit shattered knowing that as he worships her it is she who is forever a slave of their passionate love, melding bodies together, as they fall endlessly in the abyss.

In to the mystery of the night, i wander the tangled tarantula garden canopied with prophesies of light, Lit windows are making overtures to desires night unleashes at these hours, hear the buzz in the air its time to make love, darkness forgets  hurt and embraces light. i walk alone, but an enchanting witch wait for me somewhere in a garden bench, to take me by my  hand to her secret haunt filled with thick smoke of **** where she will remove the drapes to let me see the truth. On her quill and cactus bed, she would make me understand, how far is pleasure from pain why darkness stalks light, a jilted lover, walking a few steps behind, I've heard her, once whisper to wind in her husky voice "A  life written off by those who measure out life with coffee spoons, as spent in vein; this life of mine, could have its secret treasures, no charlatan could ever guess about a serpent's diamonds very few get to see, its dangerous to pry, i forgive their ignorance" Words induced by her dark power has layers of meaning but to many it was just meaningless jabbering, just magic mushroom blabber She nibbled and nicked my earlobes, in between intoxicating purrs, told me the meaning of caterwauls, **"Its not pain, its not pain, once you get in to the stream you only want to drain, in to the vast blue ocean"** I recognize now,  it's Walpurgis night, as i walk in search of my witch, i see dancers around bonfire, revelers totally out of their minds, carouse at the heart of the night. And i see them all, witches in marine blue dresses, enchantresses in blackly black, coquettish red or groovy green, I wait for her to appear, the only one in resplendent white.

Prologue Flashes of a luminous glow Swims like a Borealis across the sky. The cold compelling breeze Soothes my clammy skin. A  quiet rumbling, Like the growl of angry hell hounds, Anticipates the coming Storm The sky unleashes electric snakes As the wind rips through houses and trees. Sweeping rain impinges upon the earth, Scrubbing the night clean To claps of deafening thunder. I stand, insignificant as a leaf, And watch in awe Of Divinity Even as temple bells are chiming, God has long left the altar to take a breath; And in the wake of this night's monster All is silent and dead. It is strange How such destruction calms my soul And makes a hard atheist like me, Hope.

Triplet
When stress and tension are so high, That you believe your stomach holds the weight of the sky, Beat up a black, swinging punching bag And leave your tensions behind to mangle, dangle and drag Unleash the power bestowed within, You may find doing so also unleashes a grin Wild, almost psychotic, off-the-hook The kind that makes passers-by turn and look Hook, uppercut, jab and straight, Doesn't matter which, leave that to fate And put the sky back where it belongs Out of your chest, because it fits wrong

Sky-High Stress
Forming words to say what no one ever thought you would. Spoken word gives people a chance to ride the waves of the syllables that roll off your tongue, to be engulfed into an ocean of self expression. Spoken word is a story. A story that no one would have even believed if it was never conveyed in such a way the evoked so much emotion. Spoken word is the ability to reach out to people on a different parallel. when you open up its spread light, it allows people see an entire world that they never knew existed. When you become transparent and turn all of your if’s, and's, and buts into something great you show people what they need to see, not what you want them to see. And the words that so gracefully roll of your tongue become all of the things that they have never wanted to admit, Being vague has never allowed so much emotion and desire to aroused all at once. Spoken word is an art that is within everyone's grasp, but only few have ever taken the advantage to capture it. you can’t exactly see what is but when you stretch your hands to reach for the creativity that wants to swallow you, The world that you once knew changes. All of your thoughts become poetic, and there becomes a consistent need to tell people what's going on and it feels so amazing. Spoken word is an expression abling people that would have never thought they would have the power to say things about their lives unleashes a magnificent world that we would have never been able to see. Spoken word is an art the doesn't just open eyes but shocks all of our senses. The ability to take someone on a journey without even having to leave the room, Making them experience your story in a way that you never thought you could.

Spoken Word
Forming words to say what no one ever thought you would. Spoken word gives people a chance to ride the waves of the syllables that roll off your tongue, to be engulfed into an ocean of self expression. Spoken word is a story. A story that no one would have even believed if it was never conveyed in such a way the evoked so much emotion. Spoken word is the ability to reach out to people on a different parallel. when you open up its spread light, it allows people see an entire world that they never knew existed. When you become transparent and turn all of your if’s, and's, and buts into something great you show people what they need to see, not what you want them to see. And the words that so gracefully roll of your tongue become all of the things that they have never wanted to admit, Being vague has never allowed so much emotion and desire to aroused all at once. Spoken word is an art that is within everyone's grasp, but only few have ever taken the advantage to capture it. you can’t exactly see what is but when you stretch your hands to reach for the creativity that wants to swallow you, The world that you once knew changes. All of your thoughts become poetic, and there becomes a consistent need to tell people what's going on and it feels so amazing. Spoken word is an expression abling people that would have never thought they would have the power to say things about their lives unleashes a magnificent world that we would have never been able to see. Spoken word is an art the doesn't just open eyes but shocks all of our senses. The ability to take someone on a journey without even having to leave the room, Making them experience your story in a way that you never thought you could. Spoken word is not just poetry, Spoken word describes all that I am, All that I can, and will be, All that I was, All that is me.

The terra is only one planted in clay soil one planet of earth! The sneaked out nightingale here is never gone. Unleashes soprano   at the same ancient roses' still a perfumed home! It's the starry upside's dark down deep hole. Sunset melting shadow down the half light moon! Eyes on in toto cool after the day painter sun is done colouring in full. Guess, up from the sunrise mountain who beams back tomorrow into this unfathomed serene clay-mole? Again see the sun follows by the moon!

One Planet of a Clay-Mole
Three years ago, home wasn't home anymore. When your front door step isn't the same or your secret hide outs don't exist furthermore, it isn't home. "Home is where the heart is", my mother once said. She told me to be happy because we are together as a family. But what happens when family isn't family furthermore. More than three years ago family wasn't family anymore. When alcohol, hospital visits, poverty, and pain seeped through the cracks of our roof, we all broke apart like shards of a broken glass. ***** lies drip from the walls on the foundation we call home now. Anger unleashes through their mouths and hands. "Forget its" have become a process for breathing. Three years ago, my lungs filled with holes. They are rotting with the time and tearing apart by the hands of, not only my demons, but everyone else's. These demons sense my weakness, my vulnerability. So they feed off of my broken eyes and make their way in through the cracks. Three years ago I lost home. Family. And myself. Where is the heart now, mother? In The Broken House.

The Broken House
Todesfugue ("Death Fugue") by Paul Celan loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Black milk of daybreak, we drink you come dusk; we drink you come midday, come morning, come night; we drink you and drink you. We’re digging a grave like a hole in the sky; there’s sufficient room to lie there. The man of the house plays with vipers; he writes in the Teutonic darkness, “Your golden hair Margarete...” He composes by starlight, whistles hounds to stand by, whistles Jews to dig graves, where together they’ll lie. He commands us to strike up bright tunes for the dance! Black milk of daybreak, we drink you come dusk; we drink you come dawn, come midday, come night; we drink you and drink you. The man of the house plays with serpents; he writes... he writes as the night falls, “Your golden hair Margarete... Your ashen hair Shulamith...” We are digging dark graves where there’s more room, on high. His screams, “Hey you, dig there!” and “Hey you, sing and dance!” He grabs his black nightstick, his eyes pallid blue, screaming, “Hey you―dig deeper! You others―sing, dance!” Black milk of daybreak, we drink you come dusk; we drink you come midday, come morning, come night; we drink you and drink you. The man of the house writes, “Your golden hair Margarete... Your ashen hair Shulamith...” as he cultivates snakes. He screams, “Play Death more sweetly! Death’s the master of Germany!” He cries, “Scrape those dark strings, soon like black smoke you’ll rise to your graves in the skies; there’s sufficient room for Jews there!” Black milk of daybreak, we drink you come midnight; we drink you come midday; Death’s the master of Germany! We drink you come dusk; we drink you and drink you... He’s a master of Death, his pale eyes deathly blue. He fires leaden slugs, his aim level and true. He writes as the night falls, “Your golden hair Margarete...” He unleashes his hounds, grants us graves in the skies. He plays with his serpents; Death’s the master of Germany... “Your golden hair Margarete... your ashen hair Shulamith...” Paul Celan (1920-1970) was a Romanian Jew who wrote poems in German. He survived the Holocaust, despite the loss of his mother and father, to become one of the major German-language poets of the post–World War II era. His parents' deaths and the horrors of the Holocaust have been called the "defining forces" in Celan's poetry.

our fruiterer is a riddling prankster who jumps up from every corner and tray and stacks, with any old silly riddle (1) “Looking at apples, eh?” he approaches Sandy *“What did the apple say to the bug? Oh – stop bugging me!”* And he laughs at his own humor (or lack of it) while severe Sandy rotates an apple in her left palm and he ventures to the next vulnerable customer, who is me “How, my dear man,” he proceeds to ask “do you fix a broken tomato?” I shake my head, bewildered and he unpacks his own riddle: “Tomato paste!” And he roars with laughter his chilli-sharp eyes pointed at his next customer (2) And off he goes with his riddles – with his booming voice, no pause and wrapping his answers in cracking laughs He jumps to an old man and he says: *“Why, do tell me, do bananas never feel lonely?”* “Cos they always come in bunches” And the young couple he regales with: *“Why did the tomato go out with the prune? Oh, come on…simply cos he couldn’t find a date!”* And to an old woman he says in  near-Oedipus style: *“What did the Dad Tomato tell his Kid Tomato? Ketchup!”* And as in a light musical he turns about and whoever he finds he unleashes his final: *“How do you fix a cracked pumpkin? Easy peasy – you use a pumpkin patch!”* Ah, our fruiterer is a riddling prankster who jumps up from every corner and tray and stacks, with any old silly riddle

I use the word sin In metaphor; For I don't believe Anymore That there's a Heaven or a Hell Or a creator. I say, "Thank God" Facetiously; For an open mind Unleashes me From placing my Gratitude With a magic dude. I say, ******* Because people get offended, Even though blasphemy Is not what I intended. The aesthetic appeal Is just so splendid; Two words juxtaposed, So tenderly blended.

................................ Reprieve             Reprieve Reprieve            Reprieve ................................ Life is so precious when you're the one who's taking it. I took the life of your friend Again, again, again. I'm contracted to take the hit I know that makes no difference. The lives you hold so very near I'll take them from you dear. ................................ Why can't             my mind find its      ease? ................................ I know the position you're in. I was not born into this. A hit was placed on my family and friends to recruit my obedience. I pretend to be normal until my contract is signed and the clever, chaotic side unleashes on its next sacrifice. ................................ Reprieve       Reprieve Reprieve       Reprieve ................................ There is no way to say this I'm a killer who warps the meaning of justice. I'll die alone in a ditch and laugh at my own hopelessness. ................................ I laugh    at my own mind's      unease ................................ Reprieve! Reprieve? There's no reprieve! ................................ Laugh! Laugh! Laugh with me! ................................

Reprieve
A smooth head tilt toward the sidewalk, he gently gestures for us to cross When ignored, he snaps a bent leg into place as naturally as he's attracted to men soft, intelligent eyes glinting through his rainbow helmet His cycle stutters like he did when asking Jason out, breathing out life like he breathed out "I love you", a mustang anxious to rear up and gallop He soothes the handlebars with steady palms, then unleashes his bike's power as soon as we're safe on the other side, off to meet up at a romantic café with a man named Peter Ryde.

*The alluring night Entices the lovely souls Yearning to reciprocate A connect at subliminal level Waiting to embrace Touch the deepest core Stars shine brighter And the moon blushes Rhythmic dance of wild hearts Unleashes the desire*
