"wagging" poems
Seems like Words are failing Maybe We should use our mouths For other things How about kissing? Right there On that part of my naval As I brush your hair Maybe I'll let out a little sigh As you linger there for a while Look up and smile Pretty eyes got me gazing Words may be failing but There's other ways to speak Your hands gently trailing got my body feeling Weak Self control startin to slip Better watch my mouth As I bite your lip It stings But not the way words do No need for censorship This mouths being used for other things Maybe to let out a laugh,a little grin As you make your move To help me relax and Leave your mark on my skin Raising the heat Got me craving! Tongues may be wagging In the morning But ours are for tasting So what do you say? Mmm don't speak. My hearts racing Legs shaking As you play your mouth piece Sighhhh And I Might just have to pull you in tight Might just have to have you all night But don't worry It's our lil secret, I won't say a thing Words may have failed us But mouths don't need words To do wonderous things ;)

Mouth Piece
No no no, this isn’t one of those commendable confessional rants of redounded reality. We all know where that goes and what it leads to. This rhetoric comprises solely of the faulty intuitive comprehension and the ******** behaviour people have while under the influence of the poor man’s **** That could be mistaken for a typo. Xeno-meph, would be what aliens are called if they did this too. Extended warranty of your sinus cavity is a must. And a mouth guard so you don’t churn away at the capricious calcium that are your teeth. Smoke and dance till lungs and legs collapse. Talk like you’re the spokesperson for an oil company that’s pillaging life and land. Change your personality in a minute and become the ****** you always wanted to be. That smart talking, **** wagging, ***** licking, *** ******* back stabbing, self serving, worthless piece of **** is now you, but it doesn’t feel like that to you. Rational ******** your only reprieve. Keep doing the same things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again hoping the outcome will change. But you’re cool. You’ve done this before, it’s solvable. A break. That’s all there’s to it. The itch in your nose has stopped. Your jaw doesn’t hurt. You don’t feel like **** but you know somehow that something is amiss. Things are not what they seem. Sense doesn’t make itself. The dark is your sanctum. Fast is your peace. That’s not a typo. The world cannot slow down for you. You have to speed up. Another gram, another line, another lie. Control is what you say it is. Handles are what your stomach has. Fast forward a few months and you don’t have a handle on anything. You don’t feel down, you feel fine. Nothing’s wrong But just another fall, and you’re straight out of line. Justify! Justify! Justify! Listen, keep listening… Talk! keep talking! Everything makes sense. Everything is a sense. The difference is that I’m faster, quicker, sharper. I’m handicapped. Leverage is my mind, broken and blind. I wish that was a typo.

You have a cute little nose And happy wagging tail You lick me when I come home You bark because there's mail You sleep in my bed And think my shoe is a toy Sweet little puppy You fill me with joy Oh, little puppy So loyal and true I just want you to know How much I love you !

Puppy love
Listening ears don't come easy Most come with mouths harbouring wagging tongues Pouncing on the chance to retell your story Exploiting your need to empty acrid lungs Listening ears, they're indeed very rare Unidentifiable no matter how well you know Lurking behind a mask of concern and care Sweet words employed so your cards you'd show Listening ears could be just a myth An idiom to quench the thirst to confide Listening ears sometimes come with fangs for teeth Hungering and lusting for your trust and pride Listening ear, oh why you come with a mouth so foul Why the cunning trickery and unscrupulous deceit Kindness as bait, when in fact you prowl Many none the wiser until they are bit Listening ear, in you I gave my trust I bared my innermost and gave my all Hoped that you'd soothe my ailing crust Instead you lifted me high only to watch me fall

Wet nose, four paws, and a wagging tail follow right beside me on an uncharted trail. We're exploring, but just what for? National treasure or maybe folklore? He doesn't know and neither do I. On a day like this we don't need to ask why. I stop for a break and he looks right at me. "C'mon Dev. Let's make it snappy." I can't disappoint those big brown eyes. He never complains, frowns, or tells lies. His only intention is to insure I'm happy. So I stand back up and give him a patting. We march on in search of who knows. Through the highest highs and the lowest lows, There is always an adventure just around the bend. He's not only a puppy - he's my hairy best friend.

Hairy Best Friend
Shhh...can you hear me? I'm hardly a pin I'm hardly a mile away Shhh...do you know the pain I'm in? Look...can you see me? I'm hiding behind shadowed eyes And a mask of smiles Look...will you look past the honest lies? Taste...can you palate the bitterness? Sharp and acrid accusations Dancing on wagging tongues Taste...will you swallow what is given? Touch...can you feel my failing muscles? Every fibre losing this very battle A futile fight I must concede Touch...will you save the pieces that crumble? Read...can you make sense of my heart? Pounding behind its bony cage Pumping red into my desperate nib Read...can you understand the ink staining my page? Shhh...can you hear me? I don't think you can For I have ceased to speak In the universe of man

The light pollution from the lives of little people in the big city reflects off the lowriding clouds, the same way my knees reflect in the little puddles from the big rains. It hurts my eyes to look up without sunglasses, hurts my lips to think of tasting the subway oil that drip drip drips I speculate at the transformers, part automatic, part people in their pre-ripped jeans, learning to get their Ns to drive themselves away, yarn trailing from their sweaters like parade float streamers. Citizens run so fast to catch the early train home, freefalling down the stairs breathing in the exhales of the other racer’s exhaust. Marking their triumphs with participation ribbons. The pacific pants at toes, a puppy that only occasionally misbehaves. Impatient for attention, waves wagging back and forth, up the imitation river, past the downtown. Kicking the sea wall with it's gravity boots. The geese are on hiatus until they can take back the city. Making the drains overflow, creating their own habitat, they’ll strut their haughty markings, distinguished from orcas, away from any saline nonsense. Were we to retrain the population to turn blind eyes, we’d be much more efficient, stop wasting time contending to society’s obsession with documenting itself. But then, what would we do all day? Creating light pollution must give immediate gratification. Once all the lights are turned off, the influence won’t continue, creating a lack of permanence, making our need to be remembered seem trivial indeed.

Trash can, wastebasket; the place we throw it all away. Used tissues--soggy mascara, dried ***** or the babies that would never be, and the heaps of food waste, human waste. Wasted human. Why do we take ourselves and the people we used to love, toss people and our person deep within a hole of shame, darkness, misery, guilt, worry, frustration, fear? If someone only said to you, or to me, when we dig deep into the ground and find the place no one will find us or them, the people we are burying-- if they only said, "You are not trash." Our emotions refuse to become refuse, the remains of being unwanted, as we perceive ourselves to be. But we is just me, and even though I can't hear the voice I long to hear above my own, the sounds reverberate in my chest, next to my heart, where I heard them last. The last time we spoke your fingers did not reach for mine. Your jeans did not rip in the same one spot. The dog that I picked that you picked after you went back, his tail wagging all the way on the ride back to his new home, did not kiss my face and my eyes and ears like he loves to do. Even though you didn't still love me, you did before, now thrown hastily, yet decidedly in the trash can outside your door. I dropped off the last remnant of your physical being, an old rabbit-eared antennae. I didn't, couldn't look in your trash can, or stand in the driveway longer than was needed to drop and run the hell away from crumbling gravel, a window newly aluminum foiled, and the motorcycle kept under surveillance at all times. I hope he looked on his camera screen and saw walking, talking, feeling, breathing human trash gliding down the sidewalk, feet pattering into a jog. The grass licked my feet and tangled in my toes on the way to the one place my sighs could sink lower than my feet, deep into the warm upholstery of my car seat, the grandma car, the dented, imperfect, but mostly reliable car away, far away, to a place where someone would look curiously, pick up the trash, my trash, me, and say, "It's beautiful."

Personal Superhero
Especially when the October wind With frosty fingers punishes my hair, Caught by the crabbing sun I walk on fire And cast a shadow crab upon the land, By the sea's side, hearing the noise of birds, Hearing the raven cough in winter sticks, My busy heart who shudders as she talks Sheds the syllabic blood and drains her words. Shut, too, in a tower of words, I mark On the horizon walking like the trees The wordy shapes of women, and the rows Of the star-gestured children in the park. Some let me make you of the vowelled beeches, Some of the oaken voices, from the roots Of many a thorny shire tell you notes, Some let me make you of the water's speeches. Behind a post of ferns the wagging clock Tells me the hour's word, the neural meaning Flies on the shafted disk, declaims the morning And tells the windy weather in the **** Some let me make you of the meadow's signs; The signal grass that tells me all I know Breaks with the wormy winter through the eye. Some let me tell you of the raven's sins. Especially when the October wind (Some let me make you of autumnal spells, The spider-tongued, and the loud hill of Wales) With fists of turnips punishes the land, Some let me make of you the heartless words. The heart is drained that, spelling in the scurry Of chemic blood, warned of the coming fury. By the sea's side hear the dark-vowelled birds.

Wander of a Summer's night whilst swimming in the energy of neighborhood folk playing at the park in a bathe of warm dusk air, Nightfall blankets the chatter and laughter of friends a like with whistles fluttering off thy breath to the tune of their pitter patter against the mat of green grass all perfectly groomed... For soccer matches and picnics, plus the occasional BBQs or to this present moment an evening dog walk, tails wagging.

Folk tails
It's dark outside except for the pale glow of a fingernail moon sailing through the starry sea of night. The wind has tucked itself to sleep with the birds, weary of bustling about and playing with my hair. The whippet snuffles his way along the rabbit trails, delighted with this late night walk, white tail wagging in the air. I wander down by the edge of the swamp, grass all soft and dewy 'neath my feet and spy the pallid uoow reflected upside down, between the reeds along the creek.   The constant, shrilling chorus of frogs and crickets drills my ears yet I find it strangely soothing -  a well known voice across the years. I turn to walk back, whistling the dog and notice in the low fields,  the usual ethereal  fog begin to form.   I look up at the dark shape of the house and see light from my kitchen window painting squares upon the lawn. Amphibean bodies seek the brightness, bellies pressed against the glass and if you warm them with your finger on the other side, they move.   My man and I  bet kisses on whose frog would move the most -  one of those silly games you play when you're in love. As I close the door behind me, grabbing logs to feed the fire, the dog flops down upon the hearthrug letting warmth dry swampy mire. I make cocoa in my blue mug then pull down the kitchen blind - cutting off the froggy light source - abruptly silencing the choir.

Last walk of the day
Remember when We took a daycation? Waterfalls For days. Milk bottle Sepia vinyl. Ice cream and Truck drivers. Ballerina buns and Bare necks. Waterfalls For days. Oblivion, the Falling leaves. Backseat Views. Gravel paths, we Walked. Waterfalls For days. Blue, blue Skies. Crystal Springs. Damp red Leaves. Waterfalls For days. Apples Were just in season. Photos Wagging tails. Honey tea Quilted snuggles. Waterfalls For days. Maybe it was Just a dream. Next thing I knew. I was throwing A textbook at the wall. Waterfalls For days. I was Okay. I swear, for One day. I was Myself again. Waterfalls For days. Remember when We took a daycation?

Daycation
Scraggly curl hair bounces in the air wagging with whisky eyes breezy pleasing the eclectic electric hectic now mind like finding a papaya inside an oyster battery powered like a pomegranate passionfruit flower growing and glowing around my trinity heart with the noise of a sphere's galactic ****** Crystal Citrine Mountains provide water fountains of sunlight as so tye-dye t-shirt hip-cat hippos smokin' coconut shisha bathe in barrels of bourbon. Lion snakes spit words of worlds hurling nebulous timeline's spiraling and crashing and splashing baptism ripples together painting Pollack Splatters with the aroma of Byrd Jazz Jam on rye-whisky bread. Fractal Berries served by the Far Out Faerrie Ferryman Skeletan with bejeweled emerald eyes winks while I read in the reeds panting in pan-flutes while water rabbits scamper into clay enclaves to bathe in pinecone designed sand-tubs. The hieroglyphic phoenix twists and skip-scats neon green vinyl turning the wind inside out to x-ray flames of fireworks.

Untitled Realm # 4-Triangle.7u
I am alive and I am terrified. Why does the future have to be this question mark, this puddle of murkiness wagging its finger to beg you to come closer, closer closer. Darkness lurches above me in halos circling brightly, making no sense I can see you, Future I can see everything I want to see but the waters won’t clear, the question mark won’t turn into an exclamation point, and you make me travel down the path farther farther farther into the unknown.

An Existential Crisis
"And the older I get, the more I'm sure That more by itself never was a cure Some days I've got nothing to show for except Walking the dog and walking the floor" Mary Chapin Carpenter <><><> *it's been twenty years plus who can remember exact, the last time I had a full-time four-legged companion to share my bed, greet my head with wagging tail, and joy incessantly, overflowing and drowning me with face lickings and hugs of a topsy turvy twisty body, and smiles and curdling yowls of deep throated cries of obvious joy and the first thing I'll do when the nectar of next life's staging begins to commence will be me to get such a dog as heretofore I remember as an unadulterated purest joy, I'll still walk the floor, long walks, yup, outdoors, early morn, and late afternoon day settling setting endings, dog and me, freshly bathed, settling in to watch some British crime and ****** mysteries sleuthed and solved by folks I'll never meet, but whose company enjoyed over the distance of an atlantic sea and about seven feet, and maybe dog  curls up next to me, by my pillowed head, or between my happy to snuggle legs, don't matter much, dog & me, will discuss an alternating rotation satisfying our mutuality, and even when I  still walk the floor, which be a task for evermore, he can walk beside me if he chooses, cause choice is what's it all about* with a true companion nml

Spring is in the air and so is married love; For marriage is a gift from up above. Holy wedlock offers one unending joy Which all the sands of time will ne'er alloy: Once you're married both of you are free To get stuck into some adultery. From now on each new fornication Will have an extra-marital relation. So go and get your neighbours' tongues a-wagging: With some adulterous randy ******** ******** *Ah! que j'aime une nuitée chaude de fornication (tellement, tellement mieux que la ************

Ode to Adultery
Somehow I ended up poor, Ended as mere dream my world tour Fancy cribs, fast cars, model wife Dinner with kings and good life -- Just me and my ****** ol' guitar Needless to say, it's out of tune. Oh!  I have a dog - wagging its tail Go to sleep, june Tonight, no midnight tale

I’m tired of loving like a dog— all wide-eyed loyalty, waiting, tail wagging for a love that lingers just out of reach. Tired of chasing footsteps that never turn back, of curling at your feet only to be kicked away. I fetch your affection, drop it at your feet, but you throw it further each time. I was born with teeth, with a growl in my throat, yet I soften myself to fit in your hands. No more. Let me love like the wind— wild, unchained, touching only those who welcome the storm.
