"wavy" poems
I want to feel you. Scraping against me. I want to taste the, Mango in your kiss. Drag from your chest to your neck. to claw from your ribs down to your hip. I want to feel you on me. And taste the citrus on your lips. Starving for the touch of, Hoping for your grip. Trying not to think too much. About your blackberry bliss. Distracted by your hammer hits. The water against the ship. The boat begins to tip. Spilling fruit into the wavy rift.

Mango
You the one with messy brown hair brown eyes with you birthmark over the left side of your face. You who left me crying. You who made me believe in love for the first time. You who stole my first kiss first time first. You with your straight blonde hair blue eyes and that stupid smirk You who left me broken You who showed me a new way of living You who left me being second choice second best second. You with your dark blonde hair hazel eyes you with your beautiful hands You who left me angry You who showed me a different way of love You who went with me on my third concert third love third. You with your curly brown hair hazel eyes with your cute braces you never liked You who left me questioning You who showed how hard love can be You who decided I wasn´t worth it You never happend We never did. I with wavy dark brown hair hazel eyes with freckles on my face I who loved everyone of you but still couldnt forget you, number two I who loved everyone of you but you left me wanting more, number four I who loved everyone of you was being loved. but not anymore.

You and Me
i had a thought. i ran out of my room, down the hallway, and into the bathroom. i wriggled out of my worn down, tie dye shirt. hopping up and down as i pull off my high-waisted jeans, pulling my pant leg with my foot as i trample the dark denim to the ground. i stand there naked, in front of the harsh, full length mirror. combing my fingers through my natural, wavy hair. i contort my face in disgust, cocking my head slightly to the side. i close my eyes, and take one deep breath in. when i open my eyes, the reflection staring back at me is a thin, natural beauty. Her smooth ivory skin glows in the silvery reflective glass. Her stomach is flat and toned. Her ******* lay on Her chest in perfect proportion to the rest of her petite frame. i run my fingers down the sides of my body. my palms trailing along, dipping and rising with the mounds beneath my skin. i close my eyes and open them again, this time taking my reflection for what it really is. i am fat. my skin is pink and spotted with freckles the colour of blood. my stomach hangs low, covering the part a man should see when i'm naked. my ******* are big. but not in the way you'd like them to be. they lay there, sort of lop-sided. hanging just above my ribs. Another place for fat to take over. the cuts on my thighs are hardly noticable next to all that fat i can see tears in the eyes of the reflection staring back at me, but i am numb. i thought correctly. i am fat. i am ugly. Nobody in their right mind would want to love me.

They drove me across the country, from the busy city where we departed to intimate villages where they recessed, and spent a star filled, moonlit night singing songs, their bodies casting long, wavy shadows from campfires they huddled around. Just as I got too cold and my wheels couldn't turn anymore did they finally turn the spark plugs, revving and igniting my despair and sensitivity producing heat. Sometimes they pushed until I shoved and scraped my rubber on asphalt, on rocks, on sand, on boulders big and small, and I hit a flat-line; the air I could hold in no longer. They rode me into a forest whose undergrowth was as thick as a bears' fur during the winter, and redwood that spanned the horizon you thought it could pat the constellations. A forest teeming with life that one would react like Wendy from Peter Pan-- never wanting to leave Neverland. And I could see it in their soft faces and squinting eyes, bright and lit up with joy, every detail apparent as if I burst my headlights into high-beam, directly on them. It was there I ran out of gas and my engines parched for oil, from the endless adventure that was exhilarating and memorable. One could, as a result, easily forget responsibilities. There was no service or refill station nearby, so I was abandoned where I parked, flat tires, rusty hood, broken chassis, dilapidated suspension. I've proved my worth from when I was brought in and over time it wasn't enough. Only repairing, never maintaining.

Liking you
Drop of red, Large orb in the sky of orange, Sour yellow, Soft lushes green, Body's of wavy blue, Romantic flowers of fake purple, My Rainbow has bloomed. Sweet red stripe, Juicy orange fruit in my hand, Bright Yellow petals, Long green branches, Silky blue scarf, Deep purple bucket of hope, My Rainbow has bloomed. Red lace on a white dress, Orange skinny swirls on a white dress, Yellow collar on a white dress, Green bow on the red lace, Blue stripes on the green bow, Purple string keep the whole outfit as one, My Rainbow has bloomed. My Rainbow is natural. My Rainbow is the things I hold. My Rainbow is my dress. My Rainbow is me, is you, is everyone, A Rainbow has bloomed over you.

His Grandparents were Romany people from his maternal side In Countries of Eastern Europe they travelled far and wide But the most basic human right their right to life of them even denied In Belzec Concentration camp where a million people died. I never knew my maternal Grandparents with sadness he recall Due to circumstance of birth and their way of life misfortune them did befall My gift of music such a marvellous gift to them I feel I owe In Belzec Concentration Camp they were murdered decades ago. A tall and handsome man in his early thirties with wavy raven hair With the marvellous gift of music a great accordion player In silence we sat and drank our beer as we listened to him play The beautiful old gipsy tunes from Countries far away. That all things do come to an end in some cases a lie In Belzec Concentration camp the gipsy music did not die But that the gift of music does live on should not come as a surprise Something that those who commit crimes against humanity seem to fail to realize. He played at the pub on passing through him I never more may see But the beauty of his music will live in my memory His maternal Grandparents who died at Belzec their lives were not in vain Their music in their Grandchild has come to life again.

In Belzec Concentration Camp
A new start, something fresh. Friends look at you with wide eyes erasing all the previous times you had met with this new time, all from something simple. Something fresh. A haircut. Although going from long flowing wavy strawberry blond hair to dark pixie short brunette colored hair is quite the difference... but it's something fresh. Something new. Something great. Exhilarating. Exciting. Wonderful.

Haircut
What is beauty? Growing up I was told lighter skin, bigger eyes, smaller nose thinner lips, straight black hair thin body, smaller frame smaller shoe size There was no embracing of my brown skin, almond-shaped eyes longer nose, fuller lips, wavy voluminous hair thick thighs, larger frame not size 6 shoes No celebration of my own beauty what forms and defines me until now. I choose to not be the subject of another’s judgement of what is considered beautiful or not to be molded into what is acceptable and approved by my culture, my society, people around me I choose myself my uniqueness and my acceptance of myself just as I am is true beauty.

What is beauty?
a black bat hangs upside down digesting a fly his face almost human a flying Frankenstein he excretes puddles of guano like miniature buttered popcorn a dark and wavy goulash gods gift to beetles and worms dizzied overheated men look on to an uproarious variety hour of song and a high heeled kicks inspiring a tempest of throbbing whisky drenched folded ***** and cash trouser trout fish,     undulant sexed up tape worms for love pulse the night egging on bunny **** pom poms devout finger puppets of Eros for shimmering ****** lipstick twilled vibratos sequined tassel spinning areolas and lavish come **** me dance girls bring down the house in flames making hearts apostate clamoring and melt men like steaming everglades the bat hangs from the chandelier licks his black lips and looks on to panorama of hieroglyphics hearing music a thunderous nonsense   witnessing visions of flies, tasty white winged moths and the thrill of screams while biting the head off of another bat in a claret stained red velvet cabaret

BURLESQUE MEETS A BAT
A supine position upon my bed and a slow turning of my head I look out through my window and by chance LISTEN!! Hearing the howling and chilling desultory gusts of wind Noticing seemingly deceptive immutable muffled grey-white low hanging clouds enveloping everything in its heavenly path with coinciding feelings of being enclosed, a slight hint, the oncoming winter A sunless sky also matches the early November mood as virtually motionless elongated pearl-grey-clouds having distinct wind-kissed topsy-turvy-wavy-ruffled bottoms that travel and permeate onward across the heavens These eerie vapors s t r e t c h from north to south east to west casting Buddism's grey colored shadows upon the earth below while not permitting any sky blue to peek through A distant howl and barking of a dog, my inner volcano snuffed out, the tranquilization of Hercules... Time seemingly stops altogether and hangs... ... heated feelings dissipate    into      cool nothingness...

November Mood
Yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow! It is not a color. It is summer! It is the wind on a willow, the lap of waves, the shadow under a bush, a bird, a bluebird, three herons, a dead hawk rotting on a pole— Clear yellow! It is a piece of blue paper in the grass or a threecluster of green walnuts swaying, children playing croquet or one boy fishing, a man swinging his pink fists as he walks— It is ladysthumb, forget-me-nots in the ditch, moss under the ****** of the carrail, the wavy lines in split rock, a great oaktree— It is a disinclination to be five red petals or a rose, it is a cluster of birdsbreast flowers on a red stem six feet high, four open yellow petals above sepals curled backward into reverse spikes— Tufts of purple grass spot the green meadow and clouds the sky.

Her body resembles the ocean, Her hair is as wavy as the ocean's waves, Her eyes as bright as the moon's reflection on the ocean, Her kiss as cold as the ocean's water, Her skin as soft as the beach's sand, But she is deadly, Be sure not to swim off into that body of hers, If you drown you'll see whats inside, You'll see her inner beauty, Be sure not to fall in love with her inner beauty, Because if you do, You'll never want to leave, But to her you'll just be another one of her victims.

Hair
White, Yellow, and Brown Different shapes, sizes, and textures Curly, straight, and wavy You look at your reflection and do not see it You're brown You’re slim, light, and skinny Your body does not resemble what it means to be a woman in your culture A Latina woman has curves A Latina woman's skin glistens underneath the sun She contains an inner glow that resembles the strength she holds. A Latina women speaks fluent English and Spanish The purr that rolls off her tongue when she rolls her “R’s” Her accent is what blows men away Her accent is seen as exotic and from another world But yours is different You look at your reflection and do not see it There is no purr because you can't roll the “R’s” off your tongue Your slight accent is what worries you Afraid your accent is going to get you a stare instead of a wink. Afraid to speak you stay quiet and become discrete You look at your reflection and see brown sugar that’s sweet and fine Your skin contains different specks of color which makes you different The sun captures the qualities that you contain within. You look at your reflection and see A woman that speaks the language of romance The language that distinguishes you from the crowd The language that brings you strength and courage The accent you once feared would bring you shame is the same one you have come to love. You look at your reflection and see A woman that has grown internally to love herself for the way she is you contain the inner glow that resembles the strength and knowledge you have attained. The eclipse has finally passed the sun and your  time to shine has arrived. White, Yellow, and Brown Different shapes, sizes, and textures Curly, straight, and wavy You look at your reflection and see A Latina woman.

Give me a golden pen, and let me lean On heaped-up flowers, in regions clear, and far; Bring me a tablet whiter than a star, Or hand of hymning angel, when 'tis seen The silver strings of heavenly harp atween: And let there glide by many a pearly car Pink robes, and wavy hair, and diamond jar, And half-discovered wings, and glances keen. The while let music wander round my ears, And as it reaches each delicious ending, Let me write down a line of glorious tone, And full of many wonders of the spheres: For what a height my spirit is contending! 'Tis not content so soon to be alone.

On Leaving Some Friends At An Early Hour
Long wavy brown hair Freckles against otherwise creamy smooth skin Long eyelashes and dark brown puppy eyes Loud laughter and big smiles Confidence boosting and adventure inducing Long summer nights filled with new experiences Long talks about things that hurt Longer talk about things that don’t Fun and mischief laced into every step Every heartbeat being worth it Absolutely breathtakingly perfection Everything I’ve ever wanted And for a while I’ve finally got it And you make everything so extraordinary

The Girl With The Long Brown Hair
Oh beloved princess, I'm just a commoner, I just drink cannabis, Lime & shank I have. You are daughter of the king, I lack any maids or servants, You are protected by shawls, I lack even a blanket or rug.. Get married to a moneylender, Marry a lucky man... I have pieces of purity, But I'm just a commoner, I just drink cannabis, Lime & shank I have. You live in the palaces, I roam the wilderness, You are not used to it, I am used to roaming. Get married to a rich man, Marry a lucky man. I just have purity in me, Yes, I'm a commoner, I just drink cannabis, Lime & shank is all I have. I carry on my austerity in incense, I drink a slurry of cinders, I tame hundreds of snakes on my neck, I will scare you off my saturnalia. You need a man with wavy hair, A man with wavy hair. My hair is dishevelled, I am a commoner, And I drink cannabis, All I have is a lime & shank.

I've had **** Not *** Not ********** Not consensually. I've been ****** ***** abused. taken advantage of. whatever it is you want to call it I've had it done. I've been kissed Fingered choked hit spit on spit in I've been held, hostage with knives against my throat guns to my head, in my mouth drugs down my throat barely conscious I've been ****** I've been in love I've been heartbroken I've been touched consensually, let me tell you about the consensually. I've been kissed in the bathroom, lifting her up against the wall laughing when our teeth brushed against one another's hands fumbling up a skirt around a throat fingers tangled in wavy hair. I've been touched sitting in her lap outside on a hot day wearing her hoodie around children freshmen year. I've been touched multiple times by him in band rooms, away from prying eyes secrets to be kept and wooed over laying in a dress during a concert event head in the lap of my best friend underwear brushed to the side fingers thrusting in and yes, this was consentually. I've been touched in the school hallways every day after school or in between classes tasted and tasted he tasted me I tasted myself. And in the living room of our best friend's house even though I told him no I told him the safe word he continued. I say it was consensual because in the end, I said I loved it. Don't argue about it. I wanted it. and I've been touched in her pool heated ever so lovingly LED lights danced us into the temptation as did the alcohol on my part with her lips against my chest desperate to mark, yet not to show i mean, hey, my step-dad's homophobic though I'd love nothing more than to show who I belong to. We switched a lot, but ultimately I landed in her lap water licking up my sides, sending chills to ******* goosebumps and her fingers hesitating not daring to touch. "i'm going to need a yes." finally. Finally asked. I nodded eagerly and she treated me like a piano perfect notes though brief I know that I was drenched in all ways the chlorine water yes and of course the obvious. you see, we were going to do something that night we had the chance to I wanted to she wanted to In the end, she took something for her headache though it was a sort of similar thing to Nyquil We were going to. But we laid in bed and we molded against each other and sailed asleep. I've slept with one person. Her Sydney My Muse. But Still, A ****** am I

A mother whispers into the fire of Night I hold a match I hold Yarn I Am Wool Shrinking to the formation The intricate designs of your rib cage of your brother's belly of your Grandfather's waist Am I simply a fool? And Who Doth I ask This question too? A Torn book A tattered sonnet of Man's sore feet blistered eyes that are Green That are Brown That are Blue I Lay with myself Tonight I am Awake I am Loud In your Night I Am the Janitor beneath the hardwood floors of your Dream I am the Poorly Waged Electrician With Shoes that resemble an old dog I Light Your Highway Your Street Your Morning coffee your cigarette Am I The Child? I fall in love with women I see on the streets Their Wavy hair like a French sea Her pale complexion the Brown Glimmer in her eyes And I paint on her on Tombstones On Coffee Mugs and on carpets rolled up for the Dumpster At Nights I prefer to dream awake and sit with a BathTub of words of stories that melt like cheese that stiffen like Ginsberg **** that Shriek and Strum like Tom Waits stomach when he starves on backroad streets And when I cannot reproduce I make love to a woman And a poem is made and I kiss her and my lips say 5 am and I wish her not to go But the Dog is waken by Robins by the Pigeons by the digestion of night to day by the Greek Gods and Goddess' Light That Falls down like long hair of woman you have so longed for and you kiss her chest And there is no Death There is no Sleep or ****** addicts or gasoline or paved roads or shaved faces or mothers or Dostoevsky or Beethoven There is just her and you run your fingers across her skin through her hair She is the bottom of the Ocean You are a homeless crab a Shellless Clam falling down down down to the bed of the great ocean and there she lays With a reflection of Youth and Beauty And her complex simplicity makes me think of me as a boy running behind brick collapsed business buildings Kissing a girl behind church Buying Icecream with Josh in Winter That's what a woman does She erases Death from the palms of your hands and your thoughts and you sink to the bottom and you watch the Coral The other fish swimming along and you laugh Because you do not know Death And Death does not know you.

There are worse places to be There are better Avenues of everything I’ve ever dreamt of Stretch out before me like a baby’s crumpled arms Rugs pave the broken road Soothing the wavy maze of souks and bazaars Covered in blemishes Riddled with secret treasures Untameable animals scour the pathways Searching for forgotten scraps Shadows live in contrast to the midday sun Hiding fallen beggars Lying twisted on the ground Juxtaposition of beauty and pain unfolds Poised in the blameless blue sky A tower rises over the horizon Desperation pours out of every cracked brick And a prayer floats out to the market It is perfection, of a kind. The streets are not innocent They have seen and heard and felt Every wrong in the world Afternoon heat of the square suffocates me I’m lost in an array of people and materials Drowning in the swirling language Eyes stinging amongst the dusty chaos Rain Eats away the market’s life, Dampening red-hot brick walls. Corrupted skies cry. There are worse places to be There are better

I. you don't even know who you are yet, but you still have to stand on top of buildings and scream what you stand for. people won't hear your values unless you write it on their skin and tattoo it into their minds, so that’s what you’ll do. II. you aren't vain or stupid for idolizing singers with blonde hair and blue eyes, because they look like you, and yet they’re strong and beautiful. it’s okay when you connect to their music then you connect to your favorite boy band. they’ll teach you how your resident ******* means nothing compared to you. they’ll teach you how to winged eyeliner, and how to put your hair in a messy bun. they’ll teach you a new love for songwriting and you’ll probably want to start playing guitar, but the biggest thing is that you relate to them and they give you confidence. III. wear your ******* choker and straighten your hair (or leave it wavy if you’d rather). wear your dark eyeliner and cover your eyelashes with mascara. if you want to wear blue knee high socks, please do. keep your hipster shoes untied if you want. ignore the ******* who thinks you look nice but not in the right way, and go buy that dark lipstick you've been wanting for weeks. IV. don’t trust the people that tell you Taylor Swift has too many boyfriends, and that Beyonce dances too ****** they are the people that will criticize you for wearing a crop top and ripped jeans. they’ll pull you out of math class to change out of your short shorts, and you’ll be forced to watch as the boys you were ‘distracting’ succeed in class while you’re crying in the middle of the night trying to catch up. V. take more pictures of the scenery. those pink clouds you thought were pretty deserve to be photographed, so do it. they won’t always be around and you have to follow your instincts sometimes. stop taking so many pictures at concerts. they don’t really mean anything to you, and it’s more important to listen to the music that helps you breathe. cry when they sing your favorite song, and feel your dreams expanding as you watch. VI. please take care of yourself. when you need help, ask for help, or everything will spiral out of control too quickly. get enough sleep and stick up for yourself when you’re being pushed down. stop caring what other people think, because you’re really the only one that matters. when you’re sad go do what makes you happy, because even if it doesn't make you grin from ear to ear it will help. always remember to love yourself before you let someone else love you.

a note to the highschool girl with blonde hair:

Yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow! It is not a color. It is summer! It is the wind on a willow, the lap of waves, the shadow under a bush, a bird, a bluebird, three herons, a dead hawk rotting on a pole— Clear yellow! It is a piece of blue paper in the grass or a threecluster of green walnuts swaying, children playing croquet or one boy fishing, a man swinging his pink fists as he walks— It is ladysthumb, forget-me-nots in the ditch, moss under the ****** of the carrail, the wavy lines in split rock, a great oaktree— It is a disinclination to be five red petals or a rose, it is a cluster of birdsbreast flowers on a red stem six feet high, four open yellow petals above sepals curled backward into reverse spikes— Tufts of purple grass spot the green meadow and clouds the sky.
