"winked" poems
Was with  a salacious witch       with amazing quick silver tongue, Confidence personified    she challenged me to chase her, If I so wish, not in words.  Her liquid eyes and gestures, made me mad with pleasure by the time we reached the peacock hill. Peacocks, big  blue eyes painted on feathers,    each, was in love with her, it seemed. Danced vying with each other,  to please her, while she winked at me. As if to say"They'll **** each other   to get my glad eye"wouldn't I feel jealous? Helpless, I did surrender to her spell,  like others in the line, in my front and back. When just one touch of her index finger,   would evoke magic, I'll get Transformed to a young peacock  of  exquisite beauty, with blue green plumes none have ever seen before,to flaunt at others of the ilk, on seeing it they'd back out. Such a witch is one of a kind,my mind     whispers, it's she who assures me this, On the full moon night, due in a week     we'll fly to the far away  hill where She'll be with me helping to build a nest, turning to a peafowl herself, She'll lay a dozen eggs, yes, in  to my ear, she says, this is only later, h When, she with index finger will    gently touche me and proclaim, thus: "This is the peacock I enticed and    with my witchcraft ,bound for life"

The witch and the Peacock
"Patience," flapped the Butterfly's wings "Patience," said Thomas Edison "Patience," said Abraham Lincoln "Patience," said the Diamond's sparkle "Patience," said the Pearl's smoothness "Patience," said Columbus' sailors "Patience," the monks prayed "Patience," the Mountains yawned "Patience," Maturity recollected "Patience," Healing nodded "Patience," Insight demanded! "Patience," winked the stars of the Milky Way

Patience?
The introvert smirked to himself, the extrovert winked, The introvert blinked and turned his face, The extrovert pursued the look, and the introvert blushed and left the room. The extrovert shrugged and broke his stare, The extrovert forgot that he was ever there, But the introvert never forgot, ingrained in his mind was the extroverts face, The extrovert saw many people that day, too many people to recall by name, The extrovert forgot his wink, The introvert replayed his blink, For many days the introvert hid, The extrovert lived, And both were content, The introvert who sat alone, The extrovert who broke the silence, The introvert who raised his hand, The extrovert who listened, We learn our greatest lessons from living at a distance.

One Way Street
My fair - skinned stranger As you sit across from me. Nylon leggings; short skirt, All black Ed Hardy t-shirt, Pretty Little Kitty, smiling at me.                                                   Before I could let you know,                                                   I looked up, and you winked at me!

Left out and drenched blue The sky could not change it's hue Solace found in night. Persistent contrast Each had made the sky alive It winked thankfully. Accepted this fate What purpose lay in repine Smiled, oh the sunshine azure!

She said, "Before you get in my britches, you'd better fly, give me a gold coin, tell me how beautiful I am." I replied, "Honey, you're beeeeuuuutiful! Here's a gold coin. Sorry, I can't fly, but I'll start taking classes next week." She smiled, winked, and walked away with my token. Guess, that wasn't good enough......

Not Good Enough (Sorry, I Can't Fly)
She said, “My name is a flower, you see” I said “Lily…it must be?” She said, *“no, no, no!… ...a Lily…is soooo, not as beautiful as me”* She replies bashfully and wise *I’m just as much beauty to the eyes as I am to the nose.”* “Oh!…you must be Rose” She laughed and cried more ‘no’s’ *“It sounds a little crazy I know and maybe… but you must be a Daisy??”* she giggled all the more “who knows?” and winked “.. if only baby” Finally, I put my thinking aside I tell no lie, while I, still in my head wondering she sighed *”My names not ‘white’ or ‘plain’ ‘Self raising’ “*, she said ”…is my name”.

...by any other name
I met someone today and he was awesome. He wore a leather jacket, almost the same as yours. He had a neat haircut but a funny beard. Do you remember when I used to always pester you About trimming yours? I did it all the time and you never listened. Anyway, he told me a joke; One that I've heard before and that still Made me laugh like the world was about to end. I think I know where I heard it the first time. He also ordered your milkshake, I mean ours. And smoked the same brand of cigarettes You always did. He was awesome because he took me for a ride On his Harley Davidson and gave me his helmet The way you always did. He was awesome because he winked At random girls and smiled at me The way you always did. He was awesome because he listened to the blues The way you always did. He was awesome because he reminded me of you. Baby I think I still love you. F.Z.N

He Was Awesome
One badass chick, she strutted like a peacock all the way down the block. Men craned their necks just to catch a glimpse of her, flicking her cigarette, shaking her wares. She walked right on by me & winked, had a little smirk on her precious puckered-lips. Geez, what a head of hair. And though it made me sick, I kind of giggled to check out her aftermath. Guys just stood there in awe, dumbfounded, bug-eyed & I counted no less than six hanging-tongues drooling.

Six Hanging Tongues (One Badass Chick)
Spinning chairs, crashing Dollars bills, in a G-string Face hammering, by sweaty sticky ***** cheeks Plastic suitcases, held tightly Chug your drink it's time to leave Walk cautiously, drink powefully Ting, ting, goes the machine She winked at her, she pinched back He said let's go Their room opening Laying, the mysterious women on the bed He grabbed her hips His wife watched, caressing her **** Door goes cold Sun shining brightly Eyes being punctured into gaping holes Cheesy over done smile, stepping into the livingroom floor Perfect outstanding family Morally hidden, detrimental corrupting Their professional suits, look so clean Appearance is everything

Corrupted is the new happy
The trellis of oak trees winked, captured my soul in a spinney, chalked whispers of free promises breathy like a silken shawl trailing Those wise men of old, withered skin of bark, tall and strong, waving their introduction. They bowed to me in free form, in humble escapism. Sun had stroked their warm palms, fed them sweet sap. To my left a stray leaf, rested amid invisibility, caught the air train, and spiralled free. Twizzled to the green painted rug basking under my cotton covered feet. Reaching out, it blew away, I chased the freedom fields. The brook teased it and set sail under the woody bridge, green from seasonal tears. Lost sight as it spun the space between us. The grass sprung its beginnings in full Spring, tall in parts, summer not yet wrapped and ready to visit us, much less invited to the summer ball where shadows are ten a penny, and sunshine bought on every street corner.  I am among spring devoured in daffodil eiderdowns, elbowing out the crocus, snowdrop chandeliers. I seagull my way, swaying in step with willow, blossoming surprising myself, how I let go of school day shivers, tinkering my brain into gear for terms talking tightness, cramming commas, fat full stops.

The Park in Spring
*So I went to the campus today, for the first time in a long time. I smoked cigarettes outside of the the lecture hall with some kids from the eastern block whose names I could barely pronounce. They were talking about McCarthyism in a language I couldn't understand - snippets in English - an American history exam. I cut class again, for a reason I can't quite trace, just lost sight of it all I guess. Or maybe I was wishing it could have been a little easier. They never gave us a course in what it means to try, you know? It just seems as if the only thing that stops us from doing the things we love is a fear of failing at them. Thinking about this on the walk home made my head sick and my heart sad, and so sleeping through the rest of the daylight seemed like a good way to get by. I met up with the friend, later in the evening, he was at the local venue. He had his hands in his hoodie and his Adidas were swinging over the side of the stage, head bobbing, and rhyming in time to the beat of an electric bass drum. I asked him to buy me a beer and he slid his last two dollars over the counter like he always does when he notices my lower lip quivering. I didn't ask him about the doctor's and he didn't ask me about my black eye. I told him to tell me the story again, the one about the cool kids he met in the East Village and he did, he told me about the whole encounter in the snow, with the lights, and how badly he was shivering. I smiled that type of smile, the one that ends up with your lips curved the wrong way and wished I would have went with him. The waitress that hates me gave me a ride home again so her uncle could close the place down. I offered her one of those Ukrainian kids' cigarettes that I swiped but she said no thanks, and I was glad I had more. She knew this wasn't going to be the last time she did me a favor, the way my track record was but I like to think she doesn't mind too much. I invited her inside but she said she had to run, maybe next time. She told me to try and hurry up and finish school so I could give her the world, and then she giggled and winked at me before she sped off. Back to bed, I had a long day of bullshitting myself ahead of me when I awoke.*

But why did I **** him? Why? Why? In the small, gilded room, near the stair? My ears rack and throb with his cry, And his eyes goggle under his hair, As my fingers sink into the fair White skin of his throat. It was I! I killed him! My God! Don't you hear? I shook him until his red tongue Hung flapping out through the black, queer, Swollen lines of his lips. And I clung With my nails drawing blood, while I flung The loose, heavy body in fear. Fear lest he should still not be dead. I was drunk with the lust of his life. The blood-drops oozed slow from his head And dabbled a chair. And our strife Lasted one reeling second, his knife Lay and winked in the lights overhead. And the waltz from the ballroom I heard, When I called him a low, sneaking cur. And the wail of the violins stirred My brute anger with visions of her. As I throttled his windpipe, the purr Of his breath with the waltz became blurred. I have ridden ten miles through the dark, With that music, an infernal din, Pounding rhythmic inside me. Just Hark! One! Two! Three! And my fingers sink in To his flesh when the violins, thin And straining with passion, grow stark. One! Two! Three! Oh, the horror of sound! While she danced I was crushing his throat. He had tasted the joy of her, wound Round her body, and I heard him gloat On the favour. That instant I smote. One! Two! Three! How the dancers swirl round! He is here in the room, in my arm, His limp body hangs on the spin Of the waltz we are dancing, a swarm Of blood-drops is hemming us in! Round and round! One! Two! Three! And his sin Is red like his tongue lolling warm. One! Two! Three! And the drums are his knell. He is heavy, his feet beat the floor As I drag him about in the swell Of the waltz. With a menacing roar, The trumpets crash in through the door. One! Two! Three! clangs his funeral bell. One! Two! Three! In the chaos of space Rolls the earth to the hideous glee Of death! And so cramped is this place, I stifle and pant. One! Two! Three! Round and round! God! 'Tis he throttles me! He has covered my mouth with his face! And his blood has dripped into my heart! And my heart beats and labours. One! Two! Three! His dead limbs have coiled every part Of my body in tentacles. Through My ears the waltz jangles. Like glue His dead body holds me athwart. One! Two! Three! Give me air! Oh! My God! One! Two! Three! I am drowning in slime! One! Two! Three! And his corpse, like a clod, Beats me into a jelly! The chime, One! Two! Three! And his dead legs keep time. Air! Give me air! Air! My God!

After Hearing A Waltz By Bartok

I remember marble that wanted heels, clip-clop echo of women who belonged. I wore slip-ons with socks, easier for those of us who come to scrub other people’s lives. The elevator was a box of mirrors, infinite versions of me- I bent my head to escape them. His office door ajar, his voice stretched thin across a phone. The girlfriend cooks, spicy food, _place a ******** he said. I had seen much worse- houses where mold clung to the ceiling, where grief leaked through the wallpaper. The vacuum hummed its G-note spiritual. I worked the nozzle into the skirting boards, let my mind braid song and ritual, a drop of lavender for closets, labels straightened like soldiers on parade. No one asked for these offerings- I gave them anyway. But he winked at me while telling her _love you, babe,_ mouth syrupy with lies. A twenty left on the hall table- a tip that branded my palm. Later, the bin bag tore, Madras red bleeding into cream carpet, pears bruised soft in their sweating wrap. The stain spread like a hand that gripped too long, that would not release. I cursed the ceiling, the word **** echoing like prayer. was only twenty, scrubbing strangers’ luxury to keep myself alive. That day I left more than lavender- a fragment of myself, pressed into the carpet, silent as the stain.

Lucretia’s Reflection
By the mountainside, Hidden from the maps, In a quiet and solitary life, Lies a home that I longed for, I stand on the road, Barefoot; my feet burning, The heat couldn’t compare to the warmth of my heart, Telephone strings drew lines in the blue sky, Connecting the past and the future, I am, between the present, In awe, In a distance, Said mountains hugged by the clouds from the east, Moving lazily along with life, Bright yellow light caught my eyes, Rows of sunflowers blooming in the summer, Beaming with happiness, Traffic lights winked it’s colours, Twinkled like the stars in daylight, My home.

Summer Daydream
Venus did her thing again. There in South sky of dawn. Winked her shimmering darters where fully aware, I was her pawn. Witnessed this all did shivering fawn. And my little deer glided. Soon to leap then away. Chased by diminishing stars and moon. O so soon this break of day. Venus left then knowing, her love astray.

Morning With Love Goddess
Last weekend, I Went out stargazing. I was struck By the cold beauty of one Lonely star, glistening In the inky veil, Winking at me. Alone in her Frigid bedsheets, she Gazed down, like monarchy, To I; the one who saw Her quiet beauty. She winked again, Then drifted away: A plane in the night. So there were no stars That evening, after all.

Stargazing
What did I pause about the other day- was it at the kitchen table? I think so- I was sitting down next to my fluorite crystal- something occurred to me- it was a pleasant thought, I remember, something a bit marvelous, I winked at my pretty little stone and she winked back. Oh! I think it was sparked from Arundhati Roy’s novel God of Small Things. Or no, I think it was the smell of spring wafting through the window that transported me to sweet grass-stained jeans at six. (How Consciousness can subvert Time! Making past present, making present eternal and infinite- undermining order imposed and idealized- tirelessly trying to give itself, but faltering before the closed fist of human conquest). Or perhaps it was the language and sensation simultaneous that lifted from within me this deep affection- for what, I do not know. For everything and nothing, I suppose. For all that is and all that be—and all that must cease to be.

Reflections
When my aching heart ached in excess, I sought out to sleep, dream, escape. I found myself in the land of the philosophers; Greece. But perhaps it looked nothing like Greece, for I haven’t visited the country to ever know. But upon its heavenly resemblance, I was washed ashore. I remember the sand as soft ivory, dancing under my feet. But pay no attention to the sand, for something else had already caught me. The sky. God in disguise, I tell you. Wrapped in the wildest hue of violet, with the drape’s silky edges tucked into the horizon. The color was deep and passionate in every way, it intoxicated the evening with its romantic cologne. And upon that sky, lie God’s silver angels. The stars constantly winked, praising the earth, in repetitive bangles. But not alone. The moon was its fullest on that night, and so it wasted no time, it beamed in bravado, the strangest white. I sat quietly, listening to Greece sing its gentle yet enigmatic song, silently wishing that this is no fantasy, and that I am not wrong.

The Violet Evening
Drums of Autumn tell us, grandmother, what did they mean? Did you ever get the Lincoln cane? Did you cry? Kenny, I'as a orphan. I never knew. ---That happened, Kenny was my name. I looked past the rim, there was the Corn Mother, I think that's what I coulda seen, but then it's only Grandma, with a grin. Kenneth means know, Grandma said, I gave you that name. kenning handy, a knower, by God, not handsome in that vain way they have today, handy, winsome in puzzles 'n' riddles 'n' such Kokopelli's play mate, some day. Mistooken words rot, if they lie, idle, in the dust meaning nothing ever. I shall not want, I was taught a mistooken truth, I took it, gript it tight, Get a job. Live with some class, join a club that takes your kind. Some churches used to use the Rotary test, if you could pass that test you could eat, after the message at the mission. true? fair? goodwill? wait if the first test is failed, what matters? fair good will benes d'vitas? from the treaty bound liars who called my grand mothers savages, all of them, right by right of conquest. their treaty verified it to me, then they gave me blankets, General Leonardwood, nope, Lord Jeff Amherst did that, then we died. Read the treaty, 1763, small print. Blankets. From the small pox ward, went unsaid. That was just, after the French and Indian war, where the father of the force that claims world-wide military superiority sufficient unto the evil of today, George, the man on the horse, surveyor for the future, fought injuns, so the king could sell their measured land to freed slaves, thus making the mortgage chain, so popular today. Build a casino, get rich quick, it's in the treaty, lotsajobs, busboy, bus driver, maid, Sioux chef and so many, many more. Grandma, in my vision, turned and walked into the desert. I took her word. Brushed the dust and breathed it in. Then I spit against the wind, winked at you and rode my wind away. Free is easy, if you can ride on wind.

That was just, after the French and Indian war, where the father of the force that claims world-wide military superiority sufficient unto the evil of today, George, the man on the horse, surveyor for the future, fought injuns, so the king could sell their measured land to freed slaves, thus making the mortgage chain, so popular today. Build a casino, get rich quick, it's in the treaty, lotsajobs, busboy, bus driver, maid, Sioux chef and so many, many more. Grandma, in my vision, turned and walked into the desert. I took her word. Brushed the dust and breathed it in. Then I spit against the wind, winked at you and rode my wind away. Free is easy, if you can ride on wind.

it's unnerving how easily a pair of eyes strip me down and take away every layer of defense I have built up over the years. hey sweetie, why don't you come over here? because I don't want to, because you're repulsive and your voice is scary and I felt your eyes on me from the instant I crossed the street and I was hoping you wouldn't speak. want me to show you a good time? but I was having the best time before I knew you existed, when I was still just a person walking home and the silent threats you make hadn't made it to the horizon of my mind **** what you doing walking around with hips like those?* hips like these belong to my mother and her mother and all of the women that have come before me. in my body I possess history and blood so strong it was only ever spilled during times of war. how dare you. attempt to take that strength and power and pride away from me. don't you know that I am magic, that my body exists as art only I should be allowed to admire who gave you permission to steal from god's temple? [I still see the dark look in your eyes when you said that to me, the emptiness of your pupils haunt me. they say that you see me as nothing more than a body, a corpse. someone to walk over. someone to conquer. you licked your lips and winked, the wrinkles in your skin were clear even in the dark and I could see that your two front teeth were missing, so now I can't stop having nightmares you grabbing me and tearing me apart, using the same legs you whistled at as toothpicks] *why are you walking so ******* fast?* because you are terrifying. because I know despite how brittle your bones may appear there is a large chance if you catch me I won't escape. because the risk of not escaping is an automatic death to me in every sense of the word. because I have friends, and they have told me how their bodies were pillaged at the hands of men like you. *who the **** do you think you are?* I think I am an island and I wish you wouldn't insist on being so intrusive. **** you too, ***** I just want to go home. I just want to go home. why can't you let me do that? you're not even that pretty anyway when I met up with my best friend she hugged me and said I smelled like vanilla, that I got more beautiful over the summer, and that boys are going to lose their minds when they see me. my mother shows me off boastfully, brags about my small waist like it is a trophy, tells all my family that I am peligrosamente hermosa, dangerously beautiful. and I believed them until I met you.

I know I've been there, I've given into death and altered the fabric of reality Every day we waste away transfixed by flattened images Of the limitlessness of death Coupled with elusive, Luciferian harm which will befall us all Who subsist on the manipulated reality of the hyperspace information field But one day, enlivened by the festivities of Shakori Hills And the fungal spirits who awoke beside us I walked the irreversible pathway through oblivion Facing cruel destruction and terror For a horrifying passage across Styx into eternity And emerged within a crowd of mollusks dancing to the waves of a musical sea All time suspended in the impossibly drawn-out ****** of the Archetypal wizardry of rhythm, The swirling clumps of faces in Unshakable ecstasy And seemingly responding to the wild currents of my conscious thought; A longing for human touch drew the others closer and closer around me Till they began brushing against me Bumping into me, The flow of the crowd saw its axis at my psychic emanation As once more the last song of all time began with thunderous energy and applause. I escaped the arresting confines of the crowd By willing them aside, wearing, as I suddenly became aware, the shoes of Moses And seeing my muddy feet upon the sands of Egypt But I yet had no understanding Of the nature of the garden of earthly delights Into which I had fallen, And fear began to envelop me, Producing law enforcement officials hawklike swooping in to limit my power. I had but to let go of my acceptance of their power over me to transcend them But fear tethered me to reality, Even as I saw about me a Dharmic mandala Of my past present and future, Generating inexplicable archetypes around me in a manner profoundly defiant Of rational logic. Synchronicity compounded upon me As the Christos within me Brought rain down upon us Forcing us together and leaving me in dumbfounded reverie Of all that had transpired to bring this moment forth What had seemed to be the end of history was in fact The awakening of a new rebirth The first moment of coming to be The union of past, present and future As the reassuring smiles of my trustworthy disciples gently allowed me passage back into a rational existence I beamed in utter gratitude for the eternal life which Christ afforded us. Chaos had subsided back into normalcy But still winked at me In telepathic coincidence. My soul has begun to realize that it resides in all things Soon they are to be reintegrated

The dark winter sky was draped with stars whose dainty shimmer mimicked the sprinkle of snow caught up in the crisp winter breeze. The white flakes winked as they came to rest upon a silent sheet of ice, accumulating on the sleek surface until abruptly– a clatter of loud and excited voices interrupted. Skates slashed and sticks crashed onto the cold, hard ice. A black puck cascaded haphazardly across the rink, bombarding the once settled snow. Chunks of ice catapulted recklessly, the smell of sweat rose relentlessly into the wind. Furious and frozen wisps of breathe were choked, as bitter cold filled eager lungs. The ruthless weather, however, could scarcely graze the laughing dimples on rosy cheeks. But just as hastily the clatter was silenced, the commotion halted. Footprints crunched softly away, their noise secretly swept away by the sprinkle of snow caught up in the crisp winter breeze.

The Outdoor Skating Rink
She took the colors of rainbow And came around me in splendid array Like a sunshine dressed to **** me five days in a row, She sat across me to sway My mind and my heart to bend and bow. Within eyeshot distance In a beautiful blue dress my lady in love Appeared in dream like trance Remind me of those bluebells in silky glow. Over her glowing skin my emotions ponder Sparkly as fire and set me free from the torments Of her thoughts in sleepless nights that wander. My eyes held hers only for few moments. She flipped her hair and wrapped it around Her neck showing her shoulder in more detail To make up my mind about her to turn around. Her  starry eyes open wide with beautiful smile. Looking back at me as she gloats. Twirled her shimmering hair few times, She orchestrated rhapsody of delights And snapped my mind into lucid dreams. She is irresistible that I can only whisper Melting in love with my burning desire. Tilted her head as she made up her hair And left it undone as she had me set on fire. And slowly she letting me in Watching her over again and again. She opens up my heart into growing sensation As she slowly letting me in Only to find my unconscious mind. She touched my heart and soul deeply with love Under her hypnotic trance so profound As she speaks, all my love that she can deserve Her voice cast a spell on me to surround. She brought her hair together with a bow, Now her wish is my command, She locked my heart forever with love. I can’t think of myself without her to woo, I told her I wanted to see her every day And whispered ‘I don’t want to miss you’ Her name is Chelsea, she lives by the bay She winked at me and said, ‘me too’. Near the puzzle table we started to play Mental map of our love to display with no clue She promised me she never broke up And her love grows stronger every day. I am stuck in love and waited up To cuddle with her every night and day,   Need her now more than ever Until my last breath can stay We always be together and forever.
