Best Contortions Poems

When blue sky has drawn its veil
That's when passions will prevail
Within the dark of nights closed eyes
Entangled lovers sweat and writhe

A fervent lust. A human need.
A chance to plant the given seed
It starts with just a gentle touch
As light recedes the sky at dusk

Then when...

Importance of the Alternative Perspective 

Contortions of my sentient being
Distortions of my inclinations to dream 
Proportions of truth deciphering what it all means
Abortions of opinion as things are not always as they seem 

Embellishments of truth displayed on the evening news
An inelegance that’s uncouth waiting...

a smile
so forced
contrived

your eyes
have lost their spark
i hardly recognize your face
as the contortions
betray the pain
for so long now
you’ve tried to dispel

the toll on your body
hard to bear
as exhaustion drains
the life out of you

the color flushed
quelling how fears grow
we strive to do our best
to stay forever...

Sexy Love

Some say that love is when our rivers join on cotton sheets in mounting passion

THE PHARAOHS
by

JOHN M. ARRIBAS

		


It wasn’t the Pharaohs that ruled the Nile
It was the priests that sanctioned  their style
As long as the Pharaoh kept playing ball
The priests insured that he’d never fall
To make him acceptable to poor and unshod
They elevated his position to a living...

I refuse to be invisible, so, if I pass you on the street,
I am going to say “Hello” to you, even if you simply stare down at our feet;
To people who pass me in the hallway, I am going to say, “Good day”,
No matter how...

Beyond from Walls of Sleep

Deep dormant eyes forever weep
Keep hells behind upon walls of sleep
Dancing demons in rituals necromancing
Glancing of gates admits infernos entrancing
Damned words resonating of souls scammed
Programmed lips through evil’s command
Hellion hypnotic of minds dwelling
Rebellion of thoughts forever yelling
Contortions spread sanctioned abortions
Distortions spread...

Beating the Odds


Life’s breath contained in heaving chest
slow breaking wave in angry crest
rushing toward the rock strewn shore
ragged rocks that ripped and tore
released the pain of rueful shriek
warning call to those who seek.

Never knowing what is real
what to think - or feel
never knowing how to...

feral lotus focus
ferocious locus
hocus pocus proportions
bogus contortions
notions that are hopeless
clueless and helpless caution
careful not to touch my foolish Johnson
useless toothless rush of jarring jargon
ill gotten fruit rotten loot bargains
a fierce farce thrilling scar gardens
watered by the crying moon's nightly opus

meaty power ball bonus
eat on the...

Unquotabe quotes: Dancers - XXIII

Dance like Cassius Clay, Sting like Muhammad Ali.
The dancing Dervish’s ethereal trip makes the Sufi’s Qawwali breathlessness sound like the radio-astral waves dashing on the beaches of their consciousness.
The only unlicensed dance free of feet is that of the honeysuckle moth’s...

When King David was old they covered him in clothes, but he got no heat,
So they sought for him a pretty girl who was innocent and sweet.

Let her stand before you lord and in your bosom nestle,
We think that it might warm you up if...

Mingling showcase crowds gathering amid the contemporary chambers 

Within this the modern day museum of the poisoned pilloried minds....

Subjugation piercing the thresholds beneath conscious perceptions views!?

Gazing as deeper into the contortions abstract of framework they go

Entranced assimilations aside artful disassociations; brushed with black  

And...

Contortions beloved china doll ballets; fallacies repertoire?!

Sublime, embarking upon another vigilant mnemonic journey

As ever searching these sinuous theatres jigzaw corridores to well find

A maxims inverted souvenir....

Effusions waterfall of wisdom to contest this mortuaries enigma!?

Discernful images incised within black marble stones strewn amid

The roguery of this...
