Hair Poems

That space she creates
as kissing knees separate
desperate flicking tongue
begging for a taste
craving access to her secret place
slowly legs part
and fingers entwine my hair
pushing deeper
kissing moistened lips
tip of tongue slips
nectar cave
tongue snakes deeper
knees holding head in place
musk washing face
legs tremble
as tongue...Read More

The body language of my dog, about his only way
To tell me what is going on, and how he spent his day
He smiles at me and shows his teeth, it goes against the grain
He knows I do it when I'm...Read More

	 	Lagniappe 
 
Wide plantation shutters open 
  With the laziness of 
 	Summered streams 
To blink against the shimmering reflections 
 Of brilliant midday 
   Dancing on the cobblestones, 
  	Mingling

Today I will do
some shopping;
just some things
that are needed--
lifelines like coffee
brandy and beer;
and some things
that I don’t need;
those things that
jump out at you,
grab you by the
arm, shake you
with their graphics
and aromas…

Of course, I will
come back with
things I don’t need:

down in the basement it is warm
with memories of
Grandma’s beauty shop
and dusty with
piles of books.

to ward off
my merry-go-round spree
of her chair,
she sends me downstairs
to choose
whatever books that i want.

i was drawn to
Daphne Du Marier’s
Rebecca,
funny i never read
but watched the movie
instead.

Instruction
by Michael R. Burch

Toss this poem aside
to the filigree and the wild tide
of sunset.

Strike my name,
and still it is all the same.
The onset

of night is in the despairing skies;
each hut shuts its bright bewildered eyes.
The wind sighs

and my heart sighs...Read More

I want you to fall asleep in my arms.

So that your heart calms down and comes to rest.

I want to hold your hand and caress you lightly.

Then I watch you just lying there mighty.

I want to stroke your hair and...Read More

Light Born Of Darkness
by Dylan Williamson

New life is beautiful
Young and pure and innocent
Nothing as irrefutable
Nothing as magnificent
Newborns bald without a single hair
Eyes turning to their final color
Skin, soft and smooth and fair
Even if they may be a bawler
Eyes so bright...Read More

We danced on the silver-mooned balcony.
How perfect for our wedding anniversary!

The band music enclosed us like a seashell.

Image in a Mirror

She sits all alone in her bedroom tonight,
and stares in the mirror while dreaming her dreams;
she thinks to herself in the soft evening light,
and wonders why she has no friends so it seems.

Perhaps it’s because of her...Read More

Mystical crystal ocean faerie arrived the first time wearing light blue.
Quite a sight against a giant wave, mimicking the ocean’s frothy hue.
Staring ahead, totally unafraid, standing on swirly finned trout three,
Observers understood immediately there was no other faerie like she.

Tossing...Read More

Little jellyfish was jealous of the fish and the coral
Especially the sea horse ridden by mermaid Laurel
She was by far the prettiest siren in the blue sea
He dared not touch her, but he loved her truly.

His mama berated him in...Read More

Pouring down rain drenching the night
as I climb the steps to your  home.
With one knock, light from within
greets me,
and there you stand,
the scent of herbal essence from your hair,
your brown eyes looking deep into my soul.
You bid farewell to...Read More

I like you red,
Embarrassed from what I said
I like you true ,
Needs are special honesty you,
~
Your eyes travel the moon lit nights
As your lips kisses the sunset
And so is your hair.
Waving sweet nice and lovely fills the air
~
Sunflowers reach, up...Read More

Fall into her hair 
Let the waves take you where.........

Pleasures wait 
Clustered like mustard
Blistering the red
Framed in bed
Deep breaths deep inside the apple’s core

Who sees more 
Peeping Tom ,  Monday’s marriage chore ??

Pleasures wait 
Things that do  ...Read More

Alas, t'would mean the words would weep
Alone in unconstructed phrase
Hanging fruit ne'er to be picked
Nor fall to seed again.

No swords succumb in verbal joust
To plow shares love of peace
No flower passed to maiden fair
To adorn the flax of wind blown...Read More

when i

first saw
you your
hair was
in a wrap

almost seeming
African in the
presentation
of yourself

was there hidden
a tumbling down
lost treasure that
i found or was she

bald but that never
phased me because
i saw her face without
make up yet made to be

simple purity of
poetry in motion
yet emotionally

The air stale, thick and cloudy with years of gin soaked carpet odor and cigarette vapor of  inconsiderate drag and chain smokers.
The colors smear together and the music disconnected and hypnotic.
The smell of flat beer and warm rye burn...Read More

When I was a little girl unaware of life and evil,
          Father would take me to the park with him;
I loved the ducks and how sweetly they floated there,

She strolled quietly through a field of whispering poppies
longing to hear what they were saying
A soft murmur rose from colorful petals swaying in the
cool breeze flowing softly through her bright golden hair
Mesmerized by the vibrant pastels surrounding her
she spun around...Read More

Grease the film is showing in the cinema

We pile in to see this magical musical bobby socks and swing dresses

The next day I go to the shop and buy my American high school jacket

The jacket has navy sleeves, the front...Read More

When I go behind my mind
Am I wanting to explore?
Will I like what I find
Of all my life that's gone before?

All the things I've tried to hide,
All the choices right or wrong,
Are they waiting there inside
Like some half-forgotten song?

And there...Read More

On Tuesday I was a prancy, dancy, pirate queen, 
On Wednesday I was a velvet-clad bohemian traveling fancy lady, 
Yesterday I as a native American who had been done wrong by cowboys.

I am on a Treasure Island today.

There was a tantalizing grizzly bear
Who had a sparkling glow and rainbow hair
It was really difficult not to stare
For she was jazzier than the state fair

No one dressed like her except on a dare
She had two make up stations in...Read More

 
Sue loved to style her auburn hair, 
and adorn it with a cute bow.
 
Then cancer struck, life’s so unfair -
treatment meant her long locks would go. 

She hoped in time new hair would grow, 
as baldness may cause folk to stare....Read More
