Best Hormones Poems

Neck a smooth, cylindrical mold
As sheathe with fibers carefully rolled
Pale, satin sheen artfully scrolled
Grace on soft, silky strands doled
In light, silted hologram to behold
Calamus breathes through each fold
Herbal essence from tight pores cajoled

Swabbed cheeks cloud high cheek bone
Naturally brushed with light coppertone
Puffy mounds rise from...

My body is awash with serotonin,
Endorphin and adrenaline,

I pounded the pavement with such fury,
With earphones, with such fury,
On ears, Metallica pounded mine

I followed the track with such determination,
While frustrations, with such determination,
Followed me

I felt the wind ahead with such invigoration,
While hope, with such invigoration,
Felt me

I...

On a Sunday night
between times
hormones make me bubbly...
let's play the guessing game;
guess who's
guess why's
guess what you and I 
are going to do Monday ?
She holds up her hand 
laughing
one guess at a time please Beth.

I'll try to convey what I'm trying to say.
Bout the difference between heart and horny.
It is something that I in the past didn't buy.
Cause I thought that it just sounded corny.

But now I've had time to think and to dote.
On why things have to rhyme...

caned by suffocating
stiff of blood
our brothers go to
cages
leaves fall on my skin
ardent love
indomitable spirit
hormones 
of love
dissipate extinguish
like a comet...

I sensed this feeling grasp me, undefined
         The instant that her lips had shaped a smile
               And when she spoke my name, it...

Hey kid...?

Hormones

I like to add 200g of 
the ingredient uncritical secreting hormones to 
all tin soups. I might think about adding 
stress response too.

As a young teen I sadly confess, I dreamt of becoming an actress.
A class assignment drew me to Warner's  in D.C., where I
brushed up against black history..
I stumbled into a meeting of the NAACP.
The people  welcomed one out of touch, this
young white girl...

Teenagers, oh how they grow,
With hormones raging, they are a show!
Their taste in music and style that's new,
With beats so fresh and fashion so true.

They start to date and fall in love
Their hearts entwined like hand and glove.
Texting, chatting and late night talking,
Make parents cringe...

Biologists smell of True Nature
For choosing to Existence nurture:
Of the unicellular plants proud;
Things one can't see in a voice loud;
No deserved shaming of The Vulgar:
Bats, Climbers, Creepers, Germs and Algae,
Knowledge not quite unlike a hard blow
Biologists giving a soft glow
Our youth's favorite reproduction
They just can't...

Longing
by Michael R. Burch

We stare out at the cold gray sea,
overcome
with such sudden and intense longing . . .
 
our eyes meet,
inviolate,
and we are not of this earth,
this strange, inert mass.
 
Before we crept
out of the shoals of the inchoate sea,
before we grew
the quaint appendages
