Best Epidermis Poems

Paint me blue like the sky
rainbow's smile; thunder's cry
clouded curtains rife with rain
till shroud is lanced and bluebirds fly again
     Wistful moods in mahogany frames
     melancholy painters with undiscovered names
     rearrange reveries in...

Insanity or Death

Life begins with insanity~~
~Your soul is kicking and screaming, 

Ready to exit with the touch of human hands.
Insanity rides on a gallant stallion ready to pant.
Hides in the mind, mourning its captive soul. 
Ready to breach over holding its breath.
Projecting in and out...

Ursus Maritimus ...

I entered your world in quietude, slipping through the granular, soft.
          Long slats to feet parting the frozen. Cold of a previously unknown
     Extreme, nipping, sharp, the epidermis with ardor....

Fear Of The Unknown

That sudden unknown, so unrevealing, 
it's the tell-tale trademark of the one in question 
as it sets off nerves in every-which-way, 
plainly creeping aimlessly neath our epidermis.

Shock-waves traipse, recruiting ghostly minions to crawl hither,
steeping the fleshy folds with squirming eels marinade,
forever slithering...

There is a darkness in my life, 
a forecast of torrential rain that drowns my heart with sorrow,
and its gloom clouds my mind, 
washing away any hope for tomorrow,

This darkness overshadows me, 
eclipsing whatever light that remains within my soul, 
and the more I try...

Alice plummets down the hole, a fallin’ to no end,
She mumbles to herself these words, for she’s without a friend:
   >>Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats? Do bats eat cats?<<
Words which cycle through my brain are much-akin to that:
"Does pain dispel...

"Beauty is only skin deep",
At least, that's what they say.
Certainly a colorful disposition,
Will never grow old and gray.

Even those with cracks,
Let the inner light shine through.
So yes, beneath layers of epidermis,
There is a one and only you.

Some people show their beauty,
To everyone they meet.
Some will...

On scarred green corduroy couches, lined with age, sighing under my weight-

Like bearded old men, releasing ages of wearied wisdom, 

Slipping in their sleep-

In rooms wreathed in smoke, wafting between breaths of laughter and exhale

And somehow beautiful, electricity in the music that shallows me out

And...

“Thick Skinned – What it Feels Like for a Girl”



When you speak 
it’s as if stars cascade
out of your mouth 
galaxies you produce
musical incantations 
that I listen religiously to 

I watch your lips 
form glistening cupids’ bows

they spread wide open 
like the subtle legs 
of...

Halo matutino en barro
Depresivo estanque nutricional
Epidermis en amontonamiento
Particular
Escasean; segunda capa
Cableado óseo para tomar
Ligero desvarío perceptual
Deshebra leguaje colegial

Frontal olímpico
Sin dejar de ser materia potencial
Los peces vuelan mejor en estrechos

Pasillo curvo
A punto de fuga
Cascada lo no usual
Riel fijo, se encorva; octagonal
Barbarie sensorial

Extensión de personalidad figurada

Condemned
I
I just woke up from my breathless bed
And wondered why I still live
I thought death would take me on a leave
Unto the path I never dread.

I sat down on the couch
My sins stirring at my frightening face
The iniquities of yester years sort me to trace.
And...

Welcome to this "risk"-taking game of "life."
Choose a blue companion peg, or snag a pink wife,
or ride "solitaire" through this "scrabble"d "mousetrap,"
or add so many kids that they stack on your lap.

Enjoy the terrible twos and the "crazy eights,"
for they go by faster when they're...

Babies have been known to crawl
Up to seven hundred feet a day
Better tie a rope tightly around them
Or they'll wind up miles away

Sex burns 360 calories per hour
Who has sex for an hour
Longest for me is seventy-three seconds
Burn more just having a shower 

In Finland...

Icarus mimicked;
epidermis cremated;
sympathy withheld....

Last time I checked,
it was still on my neck,
What now is a mark,
once was a speck,

Protected by the freckle,
I can now never forget,
Tattooed into a bad mood,
the ink I still regret,

Smooth surface, epidermis,
let color fill the pores,
Black lines, abstract designs,
around the open sores,

Follow my fingers
from...
