Long Brail Poems

In a universe far far away
There lived a penguin, whose thoughts did weigh
Heavily on his mind.
He thought of a vast array of things big and small
But there was one facet he thought of most of...

And I disappeared back into the books,
Whirling in a seamless stream of context,
By whose scarlet blood I assumed some looks,
Forevermore ready for what was next.

From this moment on I could not assume,
That what I had...

Part 2 of 2

.........eclectic mangling with each dextrous touch, fine lines begin to smudge, 


reality blends with fiction, body becomes an instrument, instantly switched on, fingers-the intimate, 


high octave tinkering, pursed lips to the sky-the...

on his deathbed
he stares up at the ceiling---
a stale, supposedly calming
light blue, basks down upon
his now disease ridden body &
with all the tubes pumping
painkillers & poisons into him,
he’s finally fallen into submission,
giving up the last...

His hands traveled over my body
Like a blind man learning the lay of the land of my bodied brail world
His breath,
SO intoxicating.........brings forth springs of truth
Disconnected words, but admissions of truth.
Like... I. ummmmm.. just. Not...

As I bounded down the stairs, I caught you watching me.
With blue green eyes, it was the first time I saw you.
My mother introduced you as her gay friend from work.
She said you could be...

No words, no expression just pure devastation
Here I am stuck sitting at square one 
Thinking back, only because small conversation
Thinking I was problematic constantly reminding me how her needs weren't met emotionally 
I was...Emotionally intertwined...

The Braille of Cobblestone

 
Keeper of darkness,
of auras reaped from high seas,
vast is your harvest
of earth rumblings beset by molten tears
to charred obsidian made hard glass.

Such reflects primate-memory
once clamored upon by man and beast running,
dodging...

Sinkin lips
the revolutionary how to overthrow a government will come in handy 
and the love letters to protect you of prayers for the matter 
what change would do us good?

You f*cking psychotic side b*tch
Why don’t glide off my side take a hike before I grab a knife and slice your wrists
I love watching you walk away 
I’m an a** man when there’s no sight...

Can you feel the heat of his lonely soul
It is burning so hot that it feels so cold
For now is his time to repent his goal
As his fingers run though your mind so bold

The lifeless...

Amidst the stress and strains of life rejoice
Don't fold now, you still can play the hand
Forget old rules, make a new paradigm for choice
The brail and vang is in your will's command

In your heart, just...

When my fingers kneel in the dust
Patterning a priesthood of memory
I create again
I remember
I make pots
In the image of our emptiness
How do you call sorrow beauty?
I find the aesthetic a superficial 
Exclamation of ignorance
About the...

Your tongue forced like clothes pins
wetting cinnamon lips,
gnawing at the barrier of one another.

Sketching, Sketching,

Hands shaping you, catching you drawn paper
filed with the note no one left,
a skilled architect,
slowly tracing across your torso.

Dog- earring the...

Our poetry...
A thousand times been read
Syllables contort tumbling 
Under covers
Free verse unfettered 
Beneath hot breath
Brail symbolic softens 
As soon as alabaster wets
Lips’ reciting merely, what is 
Or should be heartfelt said

Our poetry...
Sapidus is to taste
Licking...

Perhaps it’s hiding between the horizon and the sea

Shoes

I can count to ten, 
I can play Beethoven, 
Bach and Seuss…
with equal flair. 
One and two fish, 
they, all-together swim…
the bright-green sea.

The colors of the rainbow, 
I ponder in every shade. 
I draw outside...

MISDEMEANOR 

A soft lisp runs through blonde summer grasses,
shoving at kites or the hems of long skirts.
Umbrellas and hats stir as it passes, 
jumbling at picnics, it teases and flirts.  
It picks up speed...

Fluffy lips like whipped cream

A doctor saved his eye
then he took it away
by hiding it from the boy’s face.

His hands were puppy dog tails
wagging blindly.
He played a game of Scrabble
with a Brail alphabet
as his only guide

He would enter a...
