Love has gotten the best of me
Heart lost to bitter acidity
Cupidity is my heart
Wilting as it was discovered
Jilted for another lover
And yet here we are
sweet
saccharine, sugary
dulcifying, tasting, adoring
confection, savory, tangy, acidity
fermenting, distasting, frowning
vinegary, astringent
sour

My bones corrode
From the acidity of your endearment.
Stay away.
Keep your distance.
I am already decaying
From the affliction
Of all the tenderness I carry
For you.

The woman is

lemon fruit...

for pro sec
the man is
brandy...
the woman is
sweet potato,
the man is
manioc...
the woman is
the heat,
the man is
popcorn...
the woman is
violin,
the man is

the woman is
basilar,
The man
it's acidity...
the woman is
the road,
the man is

the woman is
a garden,
the man is
the wilderness...
the woman is

the man from
kill executioner...
the woman
never is afraid,
tô donate
the man is
afraid to surrender...
the woman is
Calm sea,

angry river...
the woman is
beauty flower,
the man is
proud cactus...
the woman is
right sure,
the man is
kinda crooked...
the woman is
landlady,
your man is
farmer...
But love is a strong link
that promotes communion,
love is the amalgam that unites them
and do party in the heart...
Separated they produce nothing...
but together they bear fruits
in creation...!
the slabs are huge and are uneven
sky horizon that is no longer perpendicular
another line is tangent to the straight line
stability donned its mist suit
it insidiously wraps around the curving walls
makes the mouth of life produce a trembling voice
words that echo slipping through the fog
acidity of knowledge that created a never again
aridity of the texture that covers the earth
greed for how hungry the time is
it's so easy to see mistakes
and see that soon we will all be
on the same painful side of this syringe
and our thoughts that were serious
turned life into acidity
but we're celebrating having survived
without tearing each other down too much
see, I allow myself to laugh at the televisions
as you solve cross puzzles
on this corner the milky way would be friendly
if we managed the odysseys correctly
maybe something dark is coming
mortal fleeing from the center of the universe
but we are ready the oracle said
because we have a surname hecatomb
Beneath waves that concede a change of life
shapes of shifting forms
hidden in ocean depths
murky coloration of perpetual flux
as fish without eyes cruise crustacean cousins
in a midnight zone of black
midst trouble changing sea acidity
flowing currents once flush with species
It's peaceful at the bottom in what can't be measured
for the deeper one goes the familiar disappears
like seaweed that displaces coral
turbulent reef on the cusp of scant recovery
Underwater paradise,
surface waves of imposing rhythm
forms that wash to shore
life in the voracious jaws of damage
what sustains a teardrop
when anchored eyes open
Poem composed; June 17, 2021
I still remember
that one time I fell into the lust filled puddles
that settled where your eyes once were
we both know
it was over and over again
that i'd willingly dove in
I replay you in my mind
here's a secret
never have I ever
remained so submissive and committed
a true fool, I am
but why did you have to hold me so secure
kissed my eyelids, painted my orgasms= gold
couldn't you taste that my soul
was tarnished with the acidity that the last lover spewed my way
pacing back N forth
...was devising how to divulge my yearning for you
until i woke up and remembered that you belong to her
silly me.
The woman is
juice to milk,
the man is
cane juice
The woman is
Apple pear,

prickly pineapple
The woman is
Prosecco wine,

sweet potato,
the man is
manioc...
The woman is
the warmth,
the man is
popcorn...
The woman is
violin,
the man is
trombone...
The woman is
basilar
The man
it's acidity ...
The woman is
the road,
the man is
truck...
The woman is
a garden,
the man is
the backyard ...
The woman is
of giving forgiveness,
the man of
killing somebody
The woman
gives without fear,
the man has
fear of giving
The woman is
Calm sea,
the man is
angry river
The woman is
beauty flower,
the man is
ugly proud
The woman is
pure thing,
the man is
kind of crooked ...
The woman is
owner of the land,
the man is her
farmer...
But love is strong link.
which promotes communion,
love is the bond that unites them
and makes the feast of the heart ...
Separated nothing produces ...
but together they create humanity ...!
Couach potatoes! Scrambling for trivialities
The eyes delight, detrimental to their intellect
Immersed in gape at the melanin free race
Laying eggs of colloquialism to metamorphose into
Formality cherishing fool's errand with hilarious gestures
Blindly swaggering when near a shelf of
Bibliographies,deaf to the wail of books left desolate
Heading for the sitting room to clinch the cosiness
Of the couch which Springs up felicity like an oasis and academics viewed ad draught calling acidity
Recording "etiquette", becoming a lady or a gent,
Being flirty trendy and touched
Like an umpire as points scored
"civilised" if this be be, count count not l among thy subjects
Cast me away from thy chariot ,
Exclude me from your parade
Aloof stand l, outcast l proclaim
A nice little horse story to tell to the beetles and cakes.
What if the rotating square meet the sides of a spinning circle? Well a dance, a spin and a sparkly front facing flip out from the watching triangles. Triangles are good gymnasts and also very proficient swimmers too. The length of a log is the length of a pool. And a shimmering hexagon is quite exquisitely placed upon a scented pillow. Wave no wearing prismatic mineral containing aluminum and acidity regulators would prong the air with a glow stick bought from a shop of equal price. Process plays process paying parsonages pleasing pickled people. And a nice metre of gold dust to rise and tickle the air from a sheet. Great. No ha no x no z. Just reading rhino reviews. Statiturisation at twenty one iron ore lolly pops to twelve cones of coal.
Acidity aside
In the back of her mind
The poison leaked through
No rooster to roo
But beyond blasting
A hole in my shoe
I tell her I love her
Nothing to do
ODE TO THE HYDRANGEA
Misunderstood little Mophead,
They call her ‘Changing Rose’,
Her colour comes from the soil
And the acidity in which she grows.
Chorus: Water in her name,
Water in her veins.
Blue Azorean stranger,
Nothing rhymes with Hydrangea.
Graceful in the half-sun,
She turns pink with added lime.
At home in the Himalayas,
Found globally over time.
Water in her name,
Water in her veins.
Blue Azorean stranger,
Nothing rhymes with Hydrangea.
Not a flower but a shrub,
Grandiflora and Annabelle
Splash their petals radiant,
A most hardy perennial.
Water in her name,
Water in her veins.
Blue Azorean stranger,
Nothing rhymes with Hydrangea.
Goodness lives.
G amble you don't with emotions,
O dium is like a venom in motion,
O n the wane welcoming hospitality,
D esultory are ties today in its acidity,
N o,the one in pink is good,
E very look says she is class,dude,
S he has money,fame,trade,
S he has a style with braids
L ook,the other has simplicity,less money,
I ronic judgement don't make her less brainy,
V ery ernestly she performs ensured talent to swirl,
E nslaved to the decor is the world,
S leazy decisions are formed mostly in this world.
