Best Mouths Poems

Trish makes a go of it, 
  as folks like to say
Two small mouths to feed
  with a third on the way...

Two husbands or three
  She isn't quite sure
A mere ounce of prevention
  Proved not a cure

The end's never pretty

I 'm scared mommy.
Why do we have to sleep here?
Why can't we go home?

A lot of people live here mommy.
Why do they all look so sad?
Did somebody take their house too?

I'm hungry mommy.
Can't I have just a little more?
I can still hear my tummy rumbling.

I'm...

Out of the mouths of babes
Words of wisdom are spoken
Don’t make a promise you cannot keep
They’ll remind you a promise is broken
 
Despite having little minds
I have to date not met
A toddler who when given a promise
Will simply just forget
 
 I’ll say “I’ll play...

Eyes are for seeing.
Ears are for hearing.
Noses are for smelling and breathing
both in and out.
Mouths are for tasting
both bitter hard
and sweet soft truths,
trusts and mistrusts,
cooperations and competitions,
cultures of health and pathology,
climates benign and toxic,
and all sensory flavors between
balance and imbalance.

We reseed universal spirits
in remembered knitting...

Grandma, the little girl said
Where do we go when we’re dead?
           We go with God up in heaven
            She told the young girl of...

“Smooth Mouths”

Lawyer’s moral , much like my limericks,
So full of bull and high flying gimmicks,
  When all the money is gone,
  Sing a different sad song,
Banks full of money, won’t buy all their tricks.

Literal limericks, gimmicks and tricks,
Philladelphia boys are really slick,

blind mouths would abide my way
towards the fantasy   that I require
longing of Abstract thoughts
are my beginning
kisses form where I adore
your eyes bring forth 
the song that form the sun
holding me to your form 
kiss me once I do declare
kiss me twice now I'm...

Child hood 
Out of the mouths of babes

Comes a wisdom, a knowing.
Sometimes getting lost in a rage
of ever changing, ever growing.
That desire less journey into age,

where they will seldom be showing 
that wisdom of innocent childhood
lost in aging of the soul, lost in wood.
Seldom able,...

~tangy flavor drips
     on watermelon’s skin pink…
         brushing kneaded mouths

flesh of summer pulp
     pops with zing  like frothy cream…

Walking the streets to watch the needy and the poor
The  wealth that covers most of this country is lost
Casting a dollar bill at each tear drop that breaks...

Compassion is lost
Understanding is the key
Love is the answer

Unlocking the pain
Making waves in the ocean
The under tow pulls

A downward thrust calls
Swim hard up to the blue sky
Breathe in and breathe out

Open mouths suck air
To calm the tired spirits
Exhaling their pain outward

Deeply remember
Listen to the suffering
Take...

the wisest sages
cast their pearls from grand castles…
         blanket and two chairs

Must you always use your lips?
Wont you ever restrain your mouth?
Now and then you let it flow,
Even though it wants to mellow,
You never let it low.
Therefore putting others and you  in a mess
And you say,"nevertheless,
It's my nature".
Then your nature puts you 
Into torture,
Before you...

I say i don't care about you...
i lied.
I say he isn't on my mind...
i lied.
I say i moved on...

I say i love you...

I say that i'm okay...
i lied.
I say that i'm an adult...
i lied.
I say i'm ready...
i lied.
I say that i'm happy...

(In Memory Of the late Christopher Wallace aka Biggie Smalls)

About My leaving here, it was all a
dream
A living nightmare, or, so it would
seem
With Me coming to falter on the 
balancing beam
After coaxing on Stardom, gently
down the stream
Just cause Somebody felt a need to
blow off steamd
But,...
