Best Stain Poems

an early morning rise,
up the stairs
walk into the bathroom 
in the sink
a small stain of blood.

less than a measure of yesterday 
pulling a baby out of the womb into my arms.
on the sheets
a small stain of blood.

midwives  wrap
my first born
snug and warm.

when her mother

skies of rainbow blue as ocean moves
girl’s sassy swirls of soft tangled hair,
where pearls would dare clasp its curls

glow in her eyes special gentle blue
waves flow of tear drops buckets full
beautiful mud stain blush cheeks

Oh, such a handful only three feet high
arms full of endless...

The Stain of Death

Going into that terrible place
A living dust-bin, black bags 
With clothes and books inside
No sign of individuality
Packs and stacks of anonymity
Nothing there to define her personality
But a big stain of vomit on the inside of the toilet
There she made her mark in...

Stain on the coffee table.
Where did you come from?
Your brown halo. From overflowing
cup? Maybe clumsy stumble.
I don't remember seeing you
yesterday in this place. Since I
don't drink coffee 
you're probably a tea stain 
that I need to clean again....

On indigo skies, there was sunlit stain,
Exotic hues, that ever clash and blend,
For daytime's loss, had become evening's gain,
And all golden days must come to an end,
Like the green bird that's flown around the bend,
Vividly lovely, on skies of twilight!
Orange and red stain, of vision's...

Wabi-Sabi stain

Wabi-Sabi stain, our soul wears
We review in wonder
We are healed when love with love pairs
Birthing soundless thunder

We feel magnetic heat
Benign burn, head to feet
In sync with God’s bliss beat

Heart’s now free from pain
Wabi-Sabi stain

"The Stain Crusaders"

Plath left the pages long ago
and Bacharach’s Blue-on-Blue
is an ineffectual softer numb-shade-of-Blue
dear green green Anthropocene 

this much is true
with all the I love you’s
the wandering crusaders
are far far removed

sitting atop their soap boxes
sudsing up all the rooms 
the silent stains in the poetic...

Living amongst

Hell's battles

with little to gain

aftermath brings 
 
stinging rain

as beauty dwells
 
in the blood
 
of the stain...

Villanelle: Dare you stain the portals of your deity’s sacrosanct citadel

Dare you stain the portals of your deity’s sacrosanct citadel
Which mortal mammal’s primal address the rapists desecrate
Be not taken aback the yoni passage leads astray linga infidel

Seeds of life ever come tumbling from out the...

I got green banana stain in my heart
I got Lacatan, Gros Michel, and Robuster
And payday tomorrow, sweetheart
I got big fields and dreams in a cluster
I got banana stain 
Flowing in my Elderslie vein
And all I want is rain
To come  on top tomorrow again.

I clear...

The Blood of Jesus Removes Sin’s Dark Stain!

Is there no shame in what many do?
You never know “what they’re up to!”

Many struggle with “sins of the past.”
They struggle for a freedom that’ll last!

So many habits people get involved doing!
In the end…  It’s them
who are...

I wonder...
Wherever this nebulous varmint is
Here, there, everywhere 
Does he ever look to himself in shame
He who leaves his iniquitous stains 
For all the hatred he lays claim? 

He gives tongue to the anemic, weakened mettle
Wheezing his nidorous, putrid breath into its chambers, 
Leaving behind...

  I did not have sexual relations I swore
  but my mouth organ she was just askin’ for.
    No one played like Monica
    and she loved a good cigar
  but now she won’t blow my nut...
