Now
Unto you...
will you hear me

in a poetic way
Will you hear me outloud

Of my out-lawed 
Extended, poetic FAMILY

The one thing I am sure of
in this here and now...
(and I hear it now)
my thoughts
Are...
Being "said" clearly

OUTLOUD!!!

All of my tomorrow's

(as I continue to vein
futherandfutherandfuther
from you...blood is only skin deep
and my prayers are from bended knees)...
Amen, from a sorry ME

NO comMEnts...
Cause
This
Has
Been...

One
Damn
Hectic
Mental 
Day...

My
Head
Is
Filled
Up...

With
Mental
Thoughts
To
Say...

And 
I
Simply
Can't
Reply...

To
Any
Of
It
All...
........................
I was given 90 seconds
To MakE-up my mind...
And it took Me a full
Two MinutEs to coMprEhend...
Your tiMEd request...
..................................................
This is no fair way...
To play a gaME...
How did WE end up...
Back at square-one?
.....................................
Damn Day Is Near OVER Now
(goodnight, to all
and sweet dreams)...

YOU would like to think it was because of YOU...
...and YOU would like to  think it was because of YOU...
...and YOU would like to think it was because of YOU...
...but it is really all because of...
ME...
(that i quit...
writing)...

I am well
and happy
and sane...
at least to this...
three hundred
and sixty-fifth day...

wish
me
luck...

I am a wordsmith...
I could bend the anvil
With my hot words...
(thank you for giving  defination to...ME)
........................................
On this stage of my life
I am especially, acting like a fool...
If you would give MorE encores...please,
Maybe...throw some flowers at my feet...
I could co-star in life with you...
....................................................................
My lips
 are liquid
      and my 
          words...
            drip...
             drip
                  drip
                            drip
                              ...
                              ..
                               .
 
  

...soMEtiMEs...

in it all!!!
...so...
I'm outta' here for a few days...
...............................................................
(i'm going to calm myself...on the shores of a Carolina coast)
Be back soon...Peace to all...
 

Overnight To and Fro  

I liked falling to sleep with you
      In the swing, inside our "screamed-in-porch"...
Swaying, slowly back and forth...
      In our pillowed, bentwood bed...
Hearing the crickets and tree frogs and wise old owls
      Serenade to our nodding heads
With the ceiling fan humming gently above 
      Cooling our lolling stead...
.............................................................................
I liked waking with you
      At the break of  our dawn
On the porch where you silenced my screams...
      Still swaying, slowly to and fro...
Hearing the birds and the bees and seeing the purple glories
      Rise even before the sun... 
You kissed me good morning on my dew-drop lips
     And then we shared breakfast in bed...
 
 

My Visit to TENNESSEE
......................................

Kissing Frogs

My sister is the queen of her throne
In a smokey, valley of Tennessee...

She has three courting jesters
Which she rules over deftly...

Entertaining her royal domain
And juggling to become her King...

I bow to her present, presence of mind
And curtsey to the rule of her reign...
......................................................

Mountain High

I smoked some of the Smoky Mountains
Inhaled deeply and enhanced
My long distance vision...

And over the field, underscored
By the brush
I could plainly see...

The silloutte of a towering Tree
Standing tall, against a moonlit night
With the stars that intensed the sky...

My sight was keened, as I exhaled
I saw my own breath that, I had held
Ruffletheleaves...of the long, distant Tree...

And then...I took another toke...
Of the Tennessee mountains
Envisioned smoke...
.................................................................
A Meeting of Minds

"It is YOU", and You, and Her, and Me
...and there we were, in a crowded room
And I knew your faces instantly!
I kissed the cheek of an ANGELa
And happy tears dropped from my eyes...
I introduced myself as "Dorothy", to Dorothea,
And her sister, Dorothy...but when we sat down
At the table to laugh, they met the real "Dottie"...
It was a wonderful meeting of sisterly minds...
And of friendships born from words...I'll never forget
The night we shared the coMEdy of us
And we bonded with  laughter and cheers...
Thank you, for the gift of incense and light...
And thank you, for being there...


   

Rendezvous of LIPS

I thought
I wanted
to kiss you
for just
the moMEnt...
and not!
for a MinutE MorE...

(and this feeling
was coming from my
unvoluntary reactions...
not from my
involuntary attractions)
for you...

Now,
soMEtiME has passed...
and I
find myself...
wanton...
to kiss you MorE...
Infact
(i want to kiss you
straight from my heart
again and again and again...
until...
I make your lips raw
with my loving pleasures)...

Bring the tiME on
and MakE-out
with ME...
 again and again and again...
"slowy"...
"please"
and...
"thank you"...
"uhummm"...
whispered, the silent MannErs of a
very,
( wet)
wanting,
raw... me...
"again...and again...and again!"
whispered my head...
(tomorrow...is truly,  MY other days)
...................................................
i have no style...
this is just me...
RAW... and unhibited...
......................................
    forwarning!!!

     If, (and that was a really big... IF...)
I let you kiss me...
    fool...
Than you shouldn't have
been fooled
by what...
I was amourously needing...
YOU should have seen
the wonted ME...
(once shy, twice bitten...blushing red
with no, no , no  meaning
yes, yes, yes!!! and  truly
thinking 'PINK'... 
..................................
Blindsighted Asses...

we...
put blinders on...
so we couldn't see 
each other's
other sides...
and neither of us won't
be 'daMnEd' if...
we're blindsighted FIRST,
by the peripheial visions of 'us'...
so...
one of 'us' needs to blink!
will it be you or me?..
(can you see 
if there  is soMEthing
in my eyes...
that wasn't there before
(looking straight into you
is all I've  ever seen...
without any sideways divisions...
can you please get it out
of my sight for me
or do i need
to keep my blinders on
and look forward without you
into straight on revisions?)

................................................................

I'll whistle
while
you work
(business ME...
is ruthless)...
(need I, say MorE)
......................
...and eMployEr or eMployEe

...and he said, "I will work for food"...
...(and i pray he didn't see my eyebrow raise) 
...and he continued, "actually, we are partners"...
...(and soMEone said, (' inside of my head') you  need to go
...and re-figure, the end benefits)...(with little,or, no doubt)...
.................................................................................

Steady Work

Scurry fast!
Before you reMEmber
How steadfast it was...
When you put your mind to
A steady pace...and becoME
A part of the huManE race...
.............................................

Question? (for the Men in my Life)

I was just wondering?..
 (and I don't want to cause any hard feelings here)...
Are all men geared toward money, power and greed?
Where the hell is your sensitivity?
 (all i need to know is it testosterone related?)
Seriously?
 Or is it a test-to-one-hormonal-me?
.............................................................................
so...
you see me as 'just a partner'
 !than!
we should 'just handshake'
not!...
 !KISS!
............................................
Don't play me for an idiot
and I won't play you for a fool...

Candlelight Fantasy
 
I want to watch
Our flicked reflections
Make love
Against twilighted walls
As we whisper
Shadowed affections
Into each other's
Subdued ears...
.........................................................

Finger Curls

I loved the way
You undid my hair
With your talk
Coming in a steady flow...
You used that hand wisely
To set my locks free
To unleash my unruly riot...
As we swayed together
Slowly...in a lip-locked, headed
To and fro...

..............................................

Tug-of-War

Your kiss...
With the gentle
Tug on my lips
Was...
Tongue provoking
............................

I've shown you more
Than I've let anybody
See...

In a long...long...time
And you made me 
Smile...

I will wait...
Until tomorrow...
