Best Nerve Ending Poems

It
was him,
and immediately
I  felt  the very moment he
too, saw me as I entered  the room.  
I averted my eyes, seemingly not magnetized,
yet his form continued to caress the corner of my eyes.
My entire body was so attuned to his every movement,...

You seduced, you stole, you exalted, you annihilated, 
You elevated, you decimated, you connected, you sucked me dry,
You opened me up, you closed me down, 
You delivered me to ecstasy, you devalued and discarded me, 
You were sensual, you were sardonic,
You made my heart smile,...

“Friendly Fire” 

I was writing 
when death came
like the sound of 
clouds cracking open 
the sound like all 4 
horses, hooves kicking
in windows, stenographically
speaking like a scream, 
my world shattered, the sound
like wanton sirens piercing
the unassuming quiet,
my hands were on fire then, 
the keys melting...

Tell me that my lips feel the most like home
and that when you're alone
it is me you think of.
Tell me that my hands melt over your skin
like candle wax drip.
Tell me that when you are scared
you close your eyes and I protect you.
Do you know...

MIND MUSCLE

Steroid cocktails, metallic flavor, Viagra rush; 
Mind numbing mush!

Sightless vision, cloudy comprehension, silent violence, whimpering misogyny; a blood-curdling hush…

Nervous perspiration, brain freeze, lactic acid rush; Gray matter atrophy flush! Dissipating oxygen accompanied by synapses firing twinges!

Amnesiac causing binge; constricting pyro nerve ending singed; Ascend...

Can your calluses callus enough that God’s touch
will not touch a nerve ending (to reach you) if God
wants to kiss you (wants contact?) Yes, there! I’d guess not!
But that does leave unanswered if God would allow
you to ‘unfeel’ that feeling, to unring His knock
up your...

“ GOD … How I Appreciate The Complexities ! … “
I Appreciate The Intricate, Just-So, Subtleties
The Intellectual Nuances and Imposed Perfunctories
That Separates Our Minds, From The Minds Of Beasts …

… Oh, The Ingeniousness of Thinking Abilities
This Superconductor of Sanctioned-Sensitivities
Where The Human Mind Can Reach, Celestial-Journeys
Even...

MINI METRO – CHEVROLET MATIZ

Sat in the back of a car – Mini Metro or Chevrolet Matiz – 
just waiting for the crash. My crash part of our crash. 
Pulping my flesh, tearing skin, crushing bones. 

Severing my head as my unbroken left arm twitches...

For you
I would
create a mixtape
which I know is an ancient technology but
with me and you it is just that simple.
I race to you like we used to rush into each other's arms in highschool
where our only concern was whether or not we could get the...

Fear.
Ugly comfortable,
Like a greasy comforter you can 
wrap your nerve-ending-tingling sad 
body in.
Never moving from the safe spot,
Ignoring the undiscovered 
wilderness.
Right there in the cold.
Snow and sky,
frozen trees snapping.
Life....

Here, at The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, 

Poetrysoup is on the menu! 

And to save our sacred website, perhaps the world ...

We must entertain and enter vague conspicuous contests 
With a true Vogon vocabulary intent on an unworthy saving ... 
Or suffer...

I move my life to marching drums,
carving paths into my bare palms.
You showed me how to play apathy

I've never begged to a silent god more than
when I dreamed of empty tables
and riots in my wardrobe
(instead of lions or snow),

but then you glowed through the mist...

EYE DISCONNECT

i’ve always been drawn
to eyes — a smorgasbord of colors
but that’s not what i see
i drift beyond what most can tap into

the shroud of evidence
the red rivers
a canal lock

bulging, ready to burst
the big bang
the upsurge of rage
shocking severance

the world in ethereal mist
the feel of...

give me some innocence
just a little silken touch
soft as the inside of your mouth
and slow as half frozen creeks
I want to feel every nerve ending
light up under my touch
I want to excite your senses
with the weight of this experience

this is a small bone from my...

HEMISPHERIC RUMBLINGS 

Lightening that flashes between two hemispheres
Hail falling in droves behind the eyelid’s curtain
Showered hair standing up in precipitation’s fight
Each nerve ending sharing primordial foreboding
