"wetly" poems
Lambs that learn to walk in snow When their bleating clouds the air Meet a vast unwelcome, know Nothing but a sunless glare. Newly stumbling to and fro All they find, outside the fold, Is a wretched width of cold. As they wait beside the ewe, Her fleeces wetly caked, there lies Hidden round them, waiting too, Earth's immeasureable surprise. They could not grasp it if they knew, What so soon will wake and grow Utterly unlike the snow.

First Sight
she despised the word. d e p r e s s i o n. it was so heavy like the disorder itself. they both wetly clung to her thin frame wrapping around her suffocating her completely.

depression is a terrible word.
While in the pool Your foot rested on top of mine And suddenly you were all the things I had loved you for Again And here we were in this house Where we had spent the best part of our time together Breathing wetly inside our cocoon together Here we were You're being funny again And you're looking at me again I know you so well But I never got tired of you Even when I hated you You're looking at me And I know exactly what you mean I miss loving you too We get back inside the house And you go upstairs and wake up Your boyfriend And you loudly **** And I feel like a worm inside someone's shoe Again I'm more bothered that I'm bothered That there's nothing new to bother me That maybe I'll never stop being bothered by you But it's nice and terrible to see you And I'm glad everything between us is fine on the surface But underneath it Your foot's still touching mine

Not My ******* Ex-Girlfriend Again
There goes Lady Fate, donned in solar sparks and her lace corset whose  overt promiscuity catches the attention of one unsuspecting astronaut– his helm fogs as he exhales, his breath crude and lascivious. Even Neptune’s eyes themselves glitter wetly with passion as she struts towards Polaris in her pinprick stilettos. She adjusts her stance accordingly: I. Purse lips into a smoulder (might as well look pretty while ya get the job done.) II. Aim for the desired target (that there’s the bull’s eye.) III. Wreak havoc just as any Fate is meant to do. (But, of course.) She picks up her staff and fires. The universe tremors in an unbridled spiral of colour and chaos as the planets d    a    r    t about like billiards, * * *                           colliding/|\with/|\ the/|\ stars who,  in the midst of the madness, d i v e r g e and c* r* o* s s for fear of being vanquished. A cluster of mismatched constellations and forsaken cosmic particles settle into a state of mutual negligence and destruction. And, together, they liquefy into a festering pool of molten silver. Lady Fate grins– yes, she has the stars right where she wants them now– and, in a final act of defiance, she strikes against the earth and watches with satisfaction as it hurtles towards the silver and sinks down into the molten like an eight ball. (And everyone knows it’s Game Over once you’ve sunk the eight ball). From where she stands– bent over Polaris in seductive pretentiousness — she relishes in the screams of some wretched lover– the first to ever be betrayed by the stars.

He stirs, slowly... watching the spoon, break the fog, settling over his morning cup... opalescent eyes, scanning the sleepy blue, of daytime horizons. Porcelain fingers, shift into hard, ceramic claws; first smoothing up, snuggly cotton pantlegs, and then running them down, forcing his navied thighs, to separate. The fork, in the road, as I crawl in, between them, headlights, and a glossy smile, on full beam. He jerks, with surprise at the unexpected motion, lips, arrested in a subtle purse-- a pinched pink, pouted gently, outwards to blow away the steam gathering, around tense fingers. I mimic the tension, with my own, slaking lips. Hands shift, to cup him, and slide, upwards. Suddenly, he needs two, to grip the mug. My tongue, slicks out, wetly, to follow his ascent, as he stands, upright; neapolitan soldier, with the suede skin.   The heat, gathers, in my palms flushing his thighs, and it circulates, warmly against flickering flesh; mouth, moving limberly to drink him, under the table. My feral eyes, fix his drunken ones, as we both take each other, in. "I hope you saved some cream, for me? Good morning, honey."

Coffee and Creamer (adult)
"Please." I meant to say it assertively, but it came out meek and quiet. Please love me, please want me, please don't leave me, please I need you. Closing my eyes, I tightened my hold on him and tilted my heavy head to his broad chest. A hot tear bubbled over my eye, rolling wetly down my cheek. Please go, please leave me alone, please I can't help myself, please I'm too weak.

And so resounds the echo... Sewn against your shadow, handstitched destiny edges, unraveled in the fire, pulses rage in heart-paced whispers, collision of midnight panther pelts, bleed into powder silk, ravage the gentle merge, your touch upon my awakening sway me softly in your gaze taste me with eyes that pierce my soul from wingtips of butterflies cast from the fire of your existence. Unfold the unspoken words dripping in the creases of this throbbing...needing...wanting heartbeat-slip-stitch, suture seal the ache of gossamer flesh pressed against raven, twin glances, the bookmark, fingertips tracing the eyeprints of your words upon me. ...so resounds the echo... As echo wrecks the body in a fever of words, purged from the ****** night, that devours_and devours_your lips, my hands' gentle cradle, spread its roots dark these russet threads the gold, swept wetly over hands, like nerves, quickening and so laden with tremors, these words echo echo Slip knot tongues intertwine, tangled tasting breathes, exhaled in slow moans surging, purging that drink_and crave_and need m o r e beneath hands that unleash the fervor, lips pressed through the flames, as gossamer falls upon panther silk, an exigent trespass, beyond the touch beyond the kiss, educe the quake and the quiver within this rapture. ...so resounds the echo echo...

The Echo:
It comes suddenly a storm that rages to fury bleeding me between your hands, your mouth, to where each syllable lost between midnight’s satin crests into a crazed madness where the soft slide hardens to gripping intentions as my arousal tastes in jasmine-licked surrenders like manna for your hungered heaven there, where no scream goes unanswered but only echoed, you are with me primal seared, the flesh of you wetly hot to my thundering pulse, I am surrender laced with impetuous desires woven to linger upon your reddened lips pressed ******* scrape across your flesh as you moan in greedy adoration to my whispered frenzy, “taste me here, let me feed you there” the suckle of your hot mouth plastered to my ******* fills me and I am burgeoning upon graven yearns here, I ache in throbbing flames as your tongue lathes love’s lick playing tag to my purr of silken gasps and breathy mewling cries in your ears stating my submission of this plunging dominance…. I burn…burn …to inferno Smiles wreathe pearl as you revel in my passionate blossom, your lick peels me wanton where we are pooled shameless and painted, my torrents are spilled for you stained and swallowed greedily and I, quivering in the tsunami that you bequeath to my racking body, I arch, reaching that shattering golden gateway singing joyous to the columns of fate’s raging wave Unleashed, I am the tide Where you are damply hollow and drowning...

Borrowdale Details
I can just simply tell you how tired I am but it's something that's been done before over and over so I will describe it. arms are loose, hanging down in defeat at my sides, knuckles dragging against the ground, hair unwashed for yet another day because I just can't get myself to stand and walk into the bathroom, much less turn on the shower, much less let myself stand under the droplets. I'm screaming, eager to be normal, to stop feeling like this, but nothing changes, ever. muscles in my face pull, then I'm smiling, and they smile back, and it falls. the pain in my chest grows sharp, both in pain and in realization; I'm dying. I reach for a star, and it stings in return. I drag my hand away, muttering apologies, and cradle the wound against my ribs, swallowing back my words. walking is hard, sleeping is hard, moving is hard, breathing is hard. I'm not going to get any better. I long for that shower, but I'll stay in the mud. I'll roll in it, until the dirt sticks under my nails, painting them mocha. I'll have grass for hair, beetles for eyes, and a worm for a thin smile. I can't wash this away anymore. I'm but a drumset playing in an empty room, falling out of tune, angrily bashing myself in until I'm nothing at all but unrecognizable pieces, floating away with a whisper. I take a drag of the world, it corrodes my lungs, and yet I dare not cry out in pain, there's no room for that right now, I have to exhale. but with the breath comes my guts, pooling out and piling onto the ground, wetly smacking against one another like slabs of meat, wriggling like snakes, hissing as if it were a spark doused in water. I'm being emptied out, to make room for something else, perhaps the hit will create a new little ecosystem, maybe they'll create serotonin enough to fill me. I'll rot, and the maggots will dance across my flesh, digging until they find something worthy to feast upon, spreading the flesh with their want, I'll be a part of something that lets creatures live, and then I'll one day become something worth loving, saving, caring for. but for now, I'm nothing but a sensitive overdramatic piece of complete **** sitting alone in their room with music no one gives a **** about on repeat, praying to the Gods and Goddesses their girlfriend calls them so they don't **** up their arm again. but there's no ringing, just the drum alone in the white room.

hard-candy crunches between chattering teeth--warm blue drool pools down wet chin. wet skin reeks of chlorine, and swimsuit sticks to piggy thighs and pancake chest. eyes are everywhere: eyes to stare and judge and mock and compare. it’s unfair how these other girls eat chips and pizza yet their bodies are set to be nubile marble demigoddesses living off six pomegranate seeds. i am teenage Taweret. the unforgiving spandex drips upon the floor, as if i had peed. quick! get a towel, you’re ruining the parquet! leg bones, feet bones hit the floor, followed by white waves of flesh, always late, rebounding wetly. bones and fat. soggy pig bones.

pool party at Satan's
A pull or a falling feeling At the heart Head fuzzy, blood drawn below The touch of another, so new, so full in its sensation, Dispelling the separation of the world fueling the engine of desire. Entering, she holds me wetly and warmly. Encouraging, finding sounds to exchange love and lust and awkward sentences. No, yes What am I saying. Discovering, touching, thirsting, Release, collapse, silence, holding A new beginning.

Prompt: Write about a recurring dream. ………… *They say it’s nice to drown, peaceful to drown, swallow your tongue, shut yourself up like a pearl in a clam, let it rush into every hole in your face -* I plough like a cosmonaut losing memories Surrounded by diaphanous tremblings, Surfacing every three moons or so To set my eyes on the prize of a particular liner, To swipe wetly upwards At the sky and her yellow jewellery. I’m not surprised by the cold, I welcome the white frail blaze of it - Let me break the surface with a Frothy lace collar and then Rain on me, Pelt me, ‘Til we all become one another, And I will feel it like a tremulous applause of tiny fists, Knocking on the sand ten miles away. I am shivering between shoals, Joyfully sailing with silver starlings, (How have I come to it so late - This joy of flying?) The water is at times a tortured mask That I wear like a shifting grey veil, I wrap my thighs around it’s efforts, And we churn our legs like a billion dying insects. (The green will reach out and mouth you, But the splinters will not stick.) Colours: Bleached, Frigid grey, Dark wholesome, Bible black, My lips part for the waves blowing back - And my body has no blood, No organs, Hollow but for the colours of the gloom. I am a drifting column, An angel of sand knobbled stars **** at my head - (So this is it - This is what it is to be dead.) I will meet you here in this fantasy of glass, We won’t even speak, And we never needed words anyhow, We will just elegantly teeter on the very edge of dreams - Floating together loose and unsinkable Like two formless sheets of hooked reflections That drape and move and are never lost. And I could cry now just thinking of it, I’m crying now just thinking of it, I want us to live in a miracle, Two spectres between the spectrum of the layers - *I can’t be up there anymore, I can’t be part of the sculptures…. and neither can you.* Am I any closer? How many leagues? How many times do I have to visit? How much closer can I get? And when I wake up saved, Will I wear this dream upon me...? Will I stick to my blue sheets? Will my hair be wet?

Rain on me In the cold clear Taranaki air, waves of rain across the field, pelting down. Saturating, pouring down my face, glasses fogged. Every item of clothing on my body drenched and clinging. The little red ride on mower spumes rooster tails of wet grass skyward And I exult in the sheer brilliance of wetly getting this huge green swathe mown.

Unwashed Sand Scripture #23
From puppyhood's hour I have not peed, As others sniffed, I have not gleaned, As others pawed, I could not seem, To bark along with the canine teams. From the hydrants red and wet with drizzle, I have ne'er to leave my yellow stream, For my bladder had all fizzled, Clogged with endless hordes of fleas. Then- at the vet's, one gloomy dawn, A very strange device was drawn, And poked and prodded where I ill, Then I was forced to take a pill. Then from  the torrent of this river, My shaggy fur began to quiver, Upon my haunches did indeed I rose, Feeling wetly coldness on my nose, Then the raging yellow stream, At last dislodged itself of fleas, And to my great and sweet relief, They lay a bone befor my feet. _____________________ The original poem:    Share | Alone From childhood's hour I have not been As others were; I have not seen As others saw; I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone. Then- in my childhood, in the dawn Of a most stormy life- was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that round me rolled In its autumn tint of gold, From the lightning in the sky As it passed me flying by, From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. --edgar allan poe

Jetting away to your far away home I'm left with your fragrance and image alone, To sit on the chair with a scotch in my hand Miserably aware that I can't understand, Why you left, why you cried,why you sped for the door Leaving pungency there in the sheets on the floor. The aching emptiness, hollow inside The confusion and rawness of pain, I confide, That I'm lost. Tomorrow is pointlessly there When I wake up to find that your gone, in despair. Just yesterday, we lay spent on the bed Entwined and sated, unseemingly spread, And now the ghost of passion's done When then, we were so wetly one.

"So Wetly One."
I keep falling in love with ghosts They flitter in and fade away Three little spirits slipped wetly into my hands ****** and beautiful; we called each other family The foundation cracked and poison filled the gaps They used to laugh and call me daddy Now…silence and estrangement That name is reserved for another Everything in my life was thrown into a heap Misunderstanding and pain collided to spark the flame I walk through this new reality, ash covering my feet Yes, bartender, I’ll have another And another /// A wraith tall and handsome extended his hand in kindness I reached with my entire being Poured my heart into his chest For a moment he washed me clean We laid bodies entwined as poetry spilled from his lips A summer zephyr under my wings I was a phoenix Balladry devolved to insult He removes the dagger and ashes spill out My brokenness is scattered everywhere Yes, bartender, I’ll have another And another /// Splintered, scaly hands attempt to rebuild A heavy mind sits in an empty room Passing by houses filled with the ones I love Never fingers to grace cheek again I’ve become the stranger that can’t find a home Saliva stretches as lips part  Lungs evacuate and heartbroken cries disappear into the sky This hollowness haunts me like an apparition Love…the ultimate curse It’s previous forms have burned me to ash Yes, bartender, I’ll have another And another . . . I’m in love with ghosts They flittered in and faded away

Then- in my childhood, in the dawn Of a most stormy life- was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that round me rolled In its autumn tint of gold, From the lightning in the sky As it passed me flying by, From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. --edgar allan poe

A Bone- A Parody (2010 POETRY CONTEST)
(PARODY, SATIRE & TRIBUTE) From puppyhood's hour I have not peed, As others sniffed, I have not gleaned, As others pawed, I could not seem, To bark along with the canine teams. From the hydrants red and wet with drizzle, I have ne'er to leave my yellow stream, For my bladder had all fizzled, Clogged with endless hordes of fleas. Then- at the vet's, one gloomy dawn, A very strange device was drawn, And poked and prodded where I ill, Then I was forced to take a pill. Then from the torrent of this river, My shaggy fur began to quiver, Upon my haunches did indeed I rose, Feeling wetly coldness on my nose, Then the raging yellow stream, At last dislodged itself of fleas, And to my great and sweet relief, They lay a bone befor my feet. _______ The original poem: Share | Alone From childhood's hour I have not been As others were; I have not seen As others saw; I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone. Then- in my childhood, in the dawn Of a most stormy life- was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that round me rolled In its autumn tint of gold, From the lightning in the sky As it passed me flying by, From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view. --edgar allan poe

*The scent of you on my hand and lips lingers in my dream and limps through my every day, I am consumed as I resume my dull way through the heart of an indifferent novocaine. it was like mars had lips to speak of us.... last we met wetly and the Earth moved from the hole I'd chosen to die in. we were both of Us tying to come about from a dim luck... as we ****** at each other's rust where our steel was frost and numb but our towers gleamed young and less ridiculous than a close shave in a black room too beautiful to refuse a sun too small to be a star and yet too huge to be removed. II It was a Wednesday when our Tuesday asked for Tomorrow back. We lacked the skill to atone for our fumbling but conjured our errant will. you had smoke in your dark brown eyes and I had both eyes on your wanton thighs... we clamored toward Utopia clutching no heavenly thing save our fire in Ice. III Lately,you seem one with the gone swans. and I know how they forage thru unforgivable songs... but the scent of you lingers on my fingertips Like a long dawn. A sunset, upset... where the light keeps every dark gone, and all the rest inept*

Scent
in the part of the cool hill's soft thighs trembles the callous shaft of dawn penetrating the ephemeral violence of the stabbing rods of arbor scent damply the night mare goes galloping whinny little sins of star caresses but none are so shy and sly as the eye clasped hollow in the stench of (and also the slender flowers smirk at the blossoms young flesh broken by the light song) Morpheus' guileless laughter as shattered the disheveled clubs swing ransoms of heart lips between the twain of the enchanted leaves there rests a silver bit of girl so blisteringly beautiful blushes all the world for holding this trembling aperture of onyx plait holding femininity so electric is the artifice of her glimmering chastity, swore the sun it would never shine on any other thing so savagely its shivering skin of golden pleasure as this her (but just so the moon loved her too as passionate as any other lover ever imagined or material. spitting delicate strands of shimmer upon the golden-brown skein of her shoulders) she woke startled by the amorous dome crinkling on the perfection of her lithe sensual frame. stupidly the ideal birds sang, trying to match the elegance of her narrow waist; but failed hideously drowning the silence in virulent soundless noise. then brimmed every god to the lip of everything to peer upon this unbearable visage and dither in the perfection of its curves. suddenly the Rose blistered from the soil and came wetly a residue of crimson from its supple petals mounting the vision of her absolute eyes. splaying the gentle hips of sight to receive the splendor of its thorned stem into her hand and ***** the silk of her hands slowly releasing a jewel of life all this witnessed by the cloistered huddles of gossamer children. hideously perfect men wantonly begging for the grace of her sensual pond. beckon they, to them, her but she refuseth and make for the realm of Hades. quietly, in death, waiting for some heat to unfreeze the skin of her blue heart frozen still darkness.

Yet another in my "Barry Hodges" series O what a beautiful city is baroque and unspoiled Vilnius, A veritable rose in the greyness of Eastern Europe, And a centre of fierce Lithuanian pride and nationalism Where loathing of Russia comes as part of the national tapestry, Woven into the heart and soul of each true descendant of Gediminas: "Tik geras rusų yra miręs rusų!"[note 1] my Litvak lady love would cry out In moments of extreme and poetic ******** excitement, As she farted tunefully through purple quilted haemorrhoids. O dearest delightful Vilnius, where my obsessive adoration Of this rather plump but still juicy middle-aged lady Went unrequited when she was sober, despite the perpetual onslaught Of my tenderly whispered syllables of love and lust, Even when my mispronounced tirade of affirmations of desire Rose to a pointless crescendo, wasted on the midnight hour, As she shrieked: "Lietuvių valytojoms yra geriausias pasaulyje!" [note 2], In a desperate attempt to retain her composure post-climax. O how can I ever forget her egregiously insatiable ****** appetite or Her immense cantilevered ***** whose glorious silhouette I can still recall in the silvery moonlight shining through The toilet window, as I peeped at her through the keyhole, Watching her wipe between her gorgeous silken arse-cheeks, With an improvised corner of the unfurled bathroom curtain, Mysteriously muttering "Jei nėra silkių nereikia valgyti!" [note 3] As she reviewed the remains of half-digested Cepelinai [note 4] O woe! All is now finished and dear overweight Valerija is lost to me, Having fallen drunkenly down an open manhole on Pilies one evening, And I am left alone to wetly kiss the cryptic letter she left for me, Staring sadly at the tear-stained smudged ink of her illiterate scrawls. Yea, mate, her last words of warning and patriotic exhultation were: "Jei jūsų kūdikis turi imbiero plaukus, mesti jį į upę!" [note 5] Followed by "Valio už Lietuvos Vermachto karo didvyrių!" [note 6] And I think they were probably the sanest things she ever said.

stoked lightening, does where your fur stroked unmeeting skin a ribbon grow heating wetly (at fingers tightly coiling sin)? does where from stocky steam ****** ***** effuse drunk blood, a stagger of giggling ****** giddily unstoppably bud? perhaps, or, does (i know) your unknowing skirt a mutter a rill of sweetness (acrid) as like honey and butter? A query, i think, your parting question answers. At cherry pressing; at crimson lancer.
