Best Hungry Poems

I was born into a world that does not see me.
My body tells the story of absence;
The hollow of my stomach,
The jagged outline of my ribs,
My fur, patchy and damp.
I learned quickly that to want is to be ignored,
And to ache is to exist.

As a...

A confession
bursts from your full lips
Almost against your will:
“I’m hungry ….
I'm hungry for you.”

I speak in seductive smile soliloquy.
My cherry glossed lips pa rt,
gushing out this succulent response:
“Come, my hungry boy.
Come and eat.

From appetizer to desert
Gluttony’s Creed is freed in me
Take time to t~a~s~t~e
From chocolate...

One touch leaves me breathless,
like the wind
teasing a tiny butterfly,
but hungry eyes caress
silky skin,
and my lips find your lullaby


Upon the melody,
of your kiss
the nude gem of your paradise,
while love takes you softly
to such bliss,
I seem to get lost in your sighs


One look leaves me speechless,
like...

Soaring and swaying over craggy hills
How I long to be the mighty eagle.
Best when my strong wings stretch
And gliding, searching for food
To feed the  miniscule fledglings.


After verdant resurrection, green leaves 
Come to life, yet birds hide from
His majestic lofty strong eagle.
Pity the small ones...

Is this the foothold you sought
  when love decayed and left you wanting?
Avenged in miniscule degrees, each vindicated
moment a trivial gilded victory...
The stars align in nonsensical patterns
incouraging this gazer to find 
fascination in fabricated Andromeda flirting.

Sweeping up shreds of delight to amass
a semblance of...

How Hungry for GOD Are You?

How hungry for GOD are you? Do you pray and read the
Word daily?  Do you stay in an attitude of prayer throughout
the day?  Do you stay in fellowship with other believers?
Do you support the work of the Kingdom?

Do...

(Austin, TX, 1955)

Mother writes me
From Korea
Ravaged by the war:

You are so blessed
Living in America
Land of peace
Land of plenty

I mumble:

Mother
I eat two raw eggs 
In the morning
Three pieces of Wonder bread
For supper
To save money for tuition

I’m very hungry

I’m also very lonely

I eat my eggs and bread
Sitting...

All I hear is 'kitty, kitty!’
Such a shame. Such a pity.
I want my food. That’s where I’m at.
After all, I’m just a cat!...

Hungry in France

Garçon, garçon
bring hot soupçon 
bouillabaisse accent egu. 
Qu'est-ce que c’est, qu’est-ce que c’est?  
Sounds like I’m un peu coucou.

Sacrebleu, Sacrebleu 
what can I do? 
In French all I learned to say
was frère Jacques frère Jacques
and café au lait, olay!

Starving; I am starving;
I’m...

Relish the scratches on your back;
Claw ,climb ,come up! 
Pay no attention to those behind you,
They care only for the trail you blaze;
Without thought of what they can't see, 
Beyond looking at your back?
You're a fantasy.
They see your profile. A snapshot.
Demand an ego. Define perfection....

If I'd Seen The Hungry Dino, I'd Not Be Dead

Stars spits light and belts, grows old and nobody cries
Universe slyly winks and eternity sees truth prevails
Earth vomits from Hell's pits and everybody dies
Justice opens eyes to say, life is crap-lost my scales
Unmeaning light its dying...

At a meeting, someone said,
“I’m hungry. Who has food?”
Some offerings were made for which
He showed his gratitude:

A yummy looking sandwich,
Missing two or three small bites
And a little bag of pretzels,
Like those given out on flights.

He ate and felt much better,
Glad that we could help him...

MORTAL GIVERS

Who are we but mortals?
That we should be so bold,
So presumptuous, so arrogant
As to leave the poor in the cold?
Should we not think of sharing
Especially the ones without,
And always think of giving,
With unquestionable doubt!
Being an only child,
Was encouraged to share,
I was shown to be...

Please don't cry baby
I know you're frighten
I know you're hungry
I know you're painful
I know you want something
I know you're asking for help
I know you want to follow
I know you want my company or escort
Oh, please don't cry baby 
You'll  have a lot of chances...
