"warf" poems
All night the army came up from Gilgal To get to the killing field, and that's all. In the ground, warf and woof, lay the dead. I want to die in My own bed. Like slits in a tank, their eyes were uncanny, I'm always the few and they are the many. I must answer. They can interrogate My head. But I want to die in My own bed. The sun stood still in Gibeon. Forever so, it's willing to illuminate those waging battle and killing. I may not see My wife when her blood is shed, But I want to die in My own bed. Samson, his strength in his long black hair, My hair they sheared when they made me a hero Perforce, and taught me to charge ahead. I want to die in My own bed. I saw you could live and furnish with grace Even a lion's den, if you've no other place. I don't even mind to die alone, to be dead, But I want to die in My own bed.

I Want To Die In My Own Bed
Yellow-tinted-noxious-lung-warf-stunk-salty-oysters-stolen-rotten. Where am I? but the driftwood castle promenade, fish market gardens. Congo jungle, steam ship sunken in crying river, village elder persists at warning. Hear the fiddle burning, drug sullen quarter note steadily, it's veracious creak reverberates through me, the loveliness reveals me, and yet I cannot behold the. Negligent narcissus subdue me, hurry up and ***** me. Here is the birthplace of living curse, whats bottles up by living thirst, awakening face down in a black-bellied hearse. Driven hard line through desert ambit , throttle locked at 85, no control, levers, nobs, or nodes. Half a Cuban snuffed out poorly, sleeping in gaping jowls, I could not believe this thing even had an ash tray. Death had bailed and locked the doors, filled the tank, and whipped the devils horse. I worn the blinders and found my pockets stuffed with carrots and a lighter. Then i smoked what was left without protest, I was not about to ask what came next.

Getting Gone.
Always was always So certain in it's way Never could you change it's mind Or how it would have it's say Her eyes are made up of sunsets But she holds the Moon at bay Her eyes are waters But the sea is receding away Her eyes are full of Shadows She questions every thing I say The Gemini was born But three days past the Bull In a land full of richness Down hill from the sugar mill Where illusions are surely Cut , dried and pulled Her hands are empty The wind begins to blow Her hands are fingered But I see no rings aglow Her hands are waving But I am so far and so . . . Her hands now falter Over a heart so full of grief to go Her hands are longing for touching And some pure belief Her hands are lingering . . . Reaching for some peace The ships come into The safety of the Harbor Then dock and rope There upon the warf The gang plank unloads it's cargo Tons of sorrow and remorse But this widow stands Not among the chorus She twists and turns in a black laced Chiffon party dress And the bayed back moon Is peeping through the shifty clouds Humming a song of freedom Before the clouds get it moving on along Oh . . . oh her eyes were sunsets , sunsets !

Bay of Dismay
There’s nothing like a G&T; at 12:43 in the morning. It seems strange to think that one thinks to see such a thing boring. And yet I’m sure there’s a lot, to be frank, but that ship’s already sailed and it too has sank. Vincent claimed the wagon too small so we stowed it away in the hull. Now *** bourbon, brandy… scotch, beer and all are sailing to Davey at young Siren’s call. But, prepared with these blocks of cinder and dust, crew heads down below dragged by full frontal lust. There’s nothing like a G&T; at 12:45 in the morning. It seems strange to think that one thinks to set off such a warning.

Siren's Warf
there is an unearthly beast, inside of me, longing for you please let it through I’ll treat you with decenency but let me in let me know you finger flick, wise beautiful women understanding the good they see, brightened eyes, relaxed brows, not too much looking around, men with tattoos hanging at the end of the warf with their shotgun with three shots drinking stale beer and loving the stars professors grading papers under the moonlight with soft radio on tired executives allowing the television personalities to understand the frailties of life and take them lightly young boys interacting with the dirt, with the concrete, with the stairs, with yoyo, with gi-joe- power ranger, less preferences, more timing taste permiates, taste is, is, is, is, persists, is, is is, persists, supports, taste the side effect ifsupports without conscience, taste taste taste, why preference

mmmm
it's january 4th & the sky had never been more baby blue. it's january 4th & my love for you is as pure as the frosty tips on the blades of grass in the morning. it's january 4th & the parking lot seagulls turn this buslting city into an intimate warf off of the coast of some state... it's january 4th & it's the beginning after an end. it's january 4th & this weather makes me simultaneously want to go walk in the woods, exploring all the parts of this town i have yet to find beauty in and wrap myself in a blanket in bed & never leave this house again. it's january 4th & i hate the bitter winter wind burning my ears but i walk my dog in it anyway because she loves it, and i love her. it's january 4th & there are so many dragons i have yet to slay or even know what they will be or when they will come for me... it's january 4th & i am trembling. i shut my eyes tight, & curl into a ball...praying for sleep to overcome me... it's january 4th & i can't wait for january 5th.

january 4th.
The bus threw up it's passangers street's bustle flushed them away. He sidestepped a muttering ****** who'd seen better days. Umbrellas popped open and hoods pulled up against the falling rain, but his thoughts were a staccato of her. The lure of coffee and pastries from a deli warmly beckoned all to stay, but the hustle of pedestrians carried him south on his way towards officeblocks looming ominously flanking the warf along the edge of the quay, but his thoughts were of a staccato of she.

On his mind
a thought like a flower upon my heart and drew around it other thoughts like bees, for multitude and thirst of sweetnesses, whereat rejoicing, I desired the art of the Greek whistler, who to warf and mart could lure those insect swarms from orange-trees that I might hive with me such thoughts and please my soul so, always. Foolish counterpart of a weak man’s vain wishes! While I spoke the thought I called a flower grew nettle-rough. The thoughts, called bees, stung me to festering: Oh, entertain ( cried reason as she woke ) Your best and gladdest thoughts but long enough, And they will all prove sad enough to sting! — J.C

pain in pleasure
Through all the ashes and the hard times, the first time she looked at me her eyes made me smile, when I think of it, you are the life of my heart. You’re the reason I smile when I find everything so hard. With every breath I take and the magic we make. I’m yours and you’re mine, you, my best mate. 
The feeling I feel when I’m with you and when you’re not around I always miss you. I remember the day I said i do put the ring on my finger Then I kissed you. Marriage, this thing, this special thing that we are in, two lovers for life, as strong as this ring. And now I smile I have a wife in my life. romantic trips to the isle-of Wright candle night dinners down Gun Warf, watching the ships pass by. Laughing trying to count the stars in the sky, many city’s Iv lived in who would of thought Portsmouth City, is the place I would call home don’t need nothing else but me and my wife. Planning our future together travel the world to many places, from France to Dubai to Australia to many other city’s calling us. For she is my happiness and he is mine two. JidosReality 3.10.17
